• Armenian Terrorism: History as poison and antidode #

  “The Russian policy had two facets—the deportation of Muslims and the importation of Christians. Deportation was advanced vigorously during both peace and wartimes. Between 1828 and 1920, more than two million Muslims were forcibly evacuated and an unknown number killed. Those who fled found refuge in the Ottoman Empire. In the process, whole nations—the Crimean Tatars, The Abkhazians, The Circassians—ceased to exist in their ancestral homes.” – my great-great-grandparents were tatars and fled from russia around the second half of the 19th century. (Again, I am not endorsing a whole site, only bookmarking this article by Prof. Justin McCarthy for future reference. See note on previous link.)
