"Summary"
“Who, after all, speaks today about the annihilation of the Armenians?” So said Adolf Hitler in 1939. He wrote these words while plotting his genocide of Germany’s Jews. He was counting on the world’s short memory of the Armenian Genocide, which to him seemed more or less forgotten, although it had cost the world as many as 1.5 million Armenian lives only two decades before.
As we sadly recall those mass slaughters today, hatred against both Jews and Armenians continues to thrive. Many American Christians are aware of anti-Semitism and hostility to Israel. However, few recognize the specific and ongoing threat against Armenia’s Christians, which continues even now. In fact, with every passing day, dangers continue against Armenia’s Christian population. But more specifically, threats are constant against a small enclave called Nagorno-Karabakh, which is adjacent to the ancient Christian nation of Armenia.
