    Ask Christiane Amanpour

    Scream Bloody Murder

     

    The best and most respected cheif international correspondent, who has utmost and in-dept knowledge of foreign politics, better then most politicians of our country. I applaude her covering such compelling and the most important topic of human rights issue. However how could Christiane Amanpour not know that there were people during the first genocide of the 20th century that screamed loud, and the New York Times published the screams more then 32 times between 1915-1918.

     

    "I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian Race in 1915" Henry Morgenthau, Sr.US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire

     

    Well, Amanpour knows all this, and she always covers all her reports only in-dept. Then why, why she would not scream herself about Armenian Genocide, when she screamed so well about all other genocides, that followed the first one. Why was she so quiet? 45 seconds coverage? Is that all 1.5million people deserved?Do you have any idea what percentage of the total Armenian population1.5million is? Was it Amanpour that did not scream about Armenian Genocide, or was it CNN, or was it Turkish Government's gag rule that uses threats, intimidations, paying millions to lobbyist, present and former US politicians, compaigning worlwide for denial of Armenian Genocide. How long will our nation deny the Armenian Genocide? It is almost a century that all the dead souls are screaming for their rights.I don't think it was Amanpour's decision to devote only 45 seconds for the screams of 1.5million Armenians. Screams are silenced by criminals of humanity......And on will go crimes against humanity, since the criminals are not punished or recognized.
