    Armenia, Turkish atrocities, and President Woodrow Wilson
    American Minute with Bill Federer

    Armenia was one of the first nations to become Christian around 301
    AD, with its capitol of Ani called the `city of a 1,001 churches.'

    Muslim Turks began invading in the 11th century, making Christians
    second-class citizens called `dhimmi,' and forcing boys to convert and
    serve in the Muslim army as `Janissaries,' or in their pederasty.

    When the Turkish Ottoman Empire declined in the 1800²s, Greece,
    Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania began winning their independence, but
    Armenia was trapped by Sultan Abdul Hamid, who killed 100,000.

    President Grover Cleveland told Congress, December 2, 1895:

    `Occurrences in Turkey have continued to excite concern¦Massacres of
    Christians in Armenia and the development¦of a spirit of fanatic
    hostility to Christian influences¦have lately shocked civilization.'

    President Grover Cleveland told Congress, December 7, 1896:

    `Disturbed condition in Asiatic Turkey¦rage of mad bigotry and cruel
    fanaticism¦wanton destruction of homes and the bloody butchery of men,
    women, and children, made martyrs to their profession of Christian
    faith¦

    Outbreaks of blind fury which lead to murder and pillage in Turkey
    occur suddenly and without notice¦It seems hardly possible that the
    earnest demand of good people throughout the Christian world for its
    corrective treatment will remain unanswered.'

    President William McKinley told Congress, December 5, 1898:

    `The¦envoy of the United States to¦Turkey¦is¦charged to press for a
    just settlement of our claims¦of the destruction of the property of
    American missionaries resident in that country during the Armenian
    troubles of 1895.'

    President Theodore Roosevelt described to Congress, December 6, 1904:

    `¦systematic and long-extended cruelty and oppression¦of which the
    Armenians have been the victims, and which have won for them the
    indignant pity of the civilized world.'

    Theodore Roosevelt wrote in Fear God and Take Your Own Part (1916):

    `Armenians, who for some centuries have sedulously avoided militarism
    and war¦are so suffering precisely and exactly because they have been
    pacifists whereas their neighbors, the Turks, have¦been¦militarists¦

    During the last year and a half¦Armenians have been subjected to
    wrongs far greater than any that have been committed since the close
    of the Napoleonic Wars¦Fearful atrocities¦

    Serbia is at this moment passing under the harrow of torture and
    mortal anguish¦Armenians have been butchered under circumstances of
    murder and torture and rape that would have appealed to an old-time
    Apache Indian¦

    Wholesale slaughter of the Armenians¦The crowning outrage has been
    committed by the Turks on the Armenians¦

    I trust that all Americans worthy of the name feel their deepest
    indignation and keenest sympathy aroused by the dreadful Armenian
    atrocities.'

    During World War I, `Young Turks' implemented a genocidal plan to rid
    Turkey of Armenians.

    They first recruited unsuspecting Armenian young men into the
    military, then made them `non-combatant' soldiers, then marched them
    into the woods and deserts where they were ambushed and massacred.

    With Armenian cities and villages now defenseless, nearly 2 million
    old men, women and children were marched into the desert, thrown off
    cliffs or burnt alive.

    Armenian cities of Kharpert, Van and Ani were leveled. Russia came to
    their aid till the Bolshevik revolution began.

    Armenia's pleas at the Paris Peace Conference led Democrat President
    Wilson in a failed effort to make Armenia a U.S. protectorate.

    Woodrow Wilson, who was born DECEMBER 28, 1856, had addressed
    Congress, May 24, 1920:

    `The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has established the truth
    of the reported massacres and other atrocities from which the Armenian
    people have suffered¦deplorable conditions of insecurity, starvation,
    and misery now prevalent in Armenia¦

    Sympathy for Armenia among our people has sprung from untainted
    consciences, pure Christian faith and an earnest desire to see
    Christian people everywhere succored in their time of suffering.'
