Day One: Let's attack Armenians. Day Two: This.
As a first-time author, Margaret Ajemian Ahnert hoped that her appearance at a Barnes & Noble store here would draw attention to her new book, "The Knock at the Door," which deals with the Armenian genocide.How is it that you can't deny the Holocaust without being made a complete and ignorant fool, but when the topic of the Armenian Genocide comes up, people shrug, look around, and suggest that it is open to many interpretations? We have to change that.
"Someone in the middle of the back of the room stood up and said, 'That's not so,' " Ahnert said. "Five or six men started to pass out fliers of denial. I thought, oh, my goodness sakes, it's like Holocaust deniers. I was completely taken aback."
Mary Occhino, who was in the audience, said some of the people were shouting, "This is a lie, this is a lie, this never happened."
It seems these rogue Turks and their anti-Armenian attitudes are everywhere. I'm not so much surprised by their perpetual idiocy anymore, but I must admit a modicum of admiration for their relentless stupidity. To go to such lengths to fight a losing battle is amazing!
And here is the book, if you're curious: The Knock at the Door
