2/6 100 Years Ago, 1.5 Million Christian Armenians Were Systematically Killed. Today, its still not a 'genocide.'

On April 24, 1915, Ottoman Turkish police hauled off Daniel Varoujan, a leading Armenian poet, and over 200 other intellectuals in the capital Constantinople.  To the falling Ottoman Empire, the poets, painters, writers, booksellers and politicians in the Armenian community posed "too much of a threat." A majority of the empire’s Christian Armenian population was targeted and almost wiped out entirely. The united states still does not refer to these events as a genocide, even though about 1.5 million armenians were killed.
