Ep. 057: Lessons of the Armenian Genocide
Show Notes

In 1915, in the closing years of the Ottoman Empire, the Turks slaughtered a minimum of 1,000,000 innocent Armenian civilians. The term "genocide," an attempt to annihilate an entire ethnic group, was coined in reference to this atrocity. Today, more than a century later, the Turkish regime still denies culpability. What were the causes of this massive crime? Why is it so rarely discussed today? What lessons can be learned from it? Arshak Benlian joins Andrew Bernstein and Bosch Fawstin to answer these questions.
