Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia Recognizing the Armenian Genocide

History leaves no doubt that Muslim Turks and Kurds massacred Christian Armenians by the tens of thousands in genocide in the period before and during WWI. It's clear by their actions that Ottoman Turks meant to eliminate Christian Armenia. Please read about the Armenian Genocide and draw your own conclusions.
The Turks' version of the hundreds of thousands of deaths is incorrect and Turkey's entrance to the EU should be heavily scrutinized. In fact, my belief is they should formally admit and apologize for the atrocities committed before entry is granted to the EU.
