/PanARMENIAN.Net/ February 28, the award winning American news
program 60 Minutes (CBS Television) will broadcast a segment on the
Armenian Genocide: "BATTLE OVER HISTORY". Bob Simon reports on what
the Armenians call their holocaust - the 1915 forced deportation
and massacre of more than a million ethnic Armenians by the Turks -
an event that the Turks and our own government have refused to call
Genocide, Armenian Council of America (ACA) told PanARMENIAN.Net
The Armenian Genocide (1915-23) was the deliberate and systematic
destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during
and just after World War I. It was characterized by massacres, and
deportations involving forced marches under conditions designed to
lead to the death of the deportees, with the total number of deaths
reaching 1.5 million.
The majority of Armenian Diaspora communities were formed by the
Genocide survivors.
To date, twenty countries and 44 U.S. states have officially recognized
the events of the period as genocide, and most genocide scholars and
historians accept this view.
The Armenian Council of America (ACA) is a grassroots organization
dedicated to work with all political leaders, offering Armenian related
news, analysis and resources for policymakers, media, students and
activists, advocating issues important to Armenian Americans. The
Armenian Council of America aims to strengthen U.S. - Armenia and U.S.
- Nagorno Karabakh ties, the development of programs promoting
sustainable economic growth and good governance in Armenia, while
promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship.
