    SEYFO CENTER HAILS ARMENIA'S RECOGNITION OF THE ASSYRIAN GENOCIDE

    The Assyrian Genocide and Research Center, SEYFO Center, publicly
    thanks the Republic of Armenia for officially recognizing the Assyrian
    Genocide of the early 20th century, on March 24th, 2015, PRWeb reports.

    In 1915, during the First World War, Turkish and Kurdish forces
    launched a campaign of genocide to exterminate the Assyrian
    people living in the Turkish Empire. Lasting from 1915 to 1923,
    this campaign of genocide is known as the "Seyfo," or "The Sword"
    by Assyrians worldwide.

    The centerpiece of a larger plan of ethnic and religious cleansing,
    the Turkish state and its Kurdish allies conspired and murdered
    millions of Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks 100 years ago during the
    height of the First World War.

    Descendants of those who escaped this genocide now campaign globally
    for international recognition of the Seyfo and are demanding an
    official apology from the Republic of Turkey for its role in the
    murder of millions.

    Sabri Atman, director of the SEYFO Center, noted that "Today, March
    24th, 2015, history is being rewritten in Yerevan, the capital of
    the Republic of Armenia, as that nation officially recognizes this
    terrible and shameful period in history. The Republic of Armenia's
    decision to recognize the Assyrian and Greek Genocide, (the Seyfo),
    encourages Assyrians everywhere - it strengthens us to continue
    our fight to have the Seyfo recognized by the whole international
    community. We salute the Republic of Armenia for taking this most
    human and principled stand."

    This recognition of the Assyrian Genocide also represents a challenge
    for Turkey and its National Socialist forces who still admire their
    Adolf-Hitler-like historical figure, Talat Pasha.

    "Talat Pasha," stated Mr. Atman, "Who served in various high
    governmental position in the Turkish state during the First World
    War, was the central architect in the genocide against the Armenians,
    Assyrians and Greeks. He is a war criminal of monstrous proportions
    and should be viewed in the same light as Hitler, Himmler or Eichmann."

    To date, 21 countries have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide
    that was part of the Seyfo Genocide. The SEYFO Center will continue its
    work until all the countries of the international community recognize
    Assyrians and Greeks who also fell victim during the same genocide.

    Assyrian Genocide Research, Seyfo Center, is an international research
    center devoted to the research and documentation of contemporary
    issues related to the history, politics, society and culture of
    Assyrians around the world. It's research is conducted to document
    past and current events and to analyze their impact on individuals
    and institutions in occupied Assyria and the diaspora.
