Too little to late (but better than nothing):

An excerpt:

4. Genocide Memorial – Greek, Assyrian, Armenian,

To be erected on the ridge of a hillside. This memorial will be in the United States. Location to be decided, but New York State is the first choice. The memorial will contain the names of lost or killed: Greeks (Pontic, Ionian, and Cappadocian), Assyrians, and Armenians of Asia Minor.

Family and friends of those who died or were missing during the ethnic cleansing in Asia Minor between 1914-1923 will submit the names, along with a small fee for costs. A contest will be held for the design of the memorial open to artists internationally. A panel of judges will choose the finalists. The final selection for the memorial design will be chosen from the finalists by the president of the foundation

>Well, Turkey was allied with Germany in WWI as I recall. Later on a man called Adolf Hitler started another holocaust and observed (correctly) when challenged on how history would judge, that a generation later nobody remembered the Armenian slaughter. Then there was a fellow called Winston Churchill who thought it was an excellent idea to use poison gas on those pesky kurds. Just like that horrible Saddam. And there was another hero called "Bomber Harris" who arranged fire-bombing of German cities and was proud of the most ghastly and calculated civilian massacre on record- mostly women, children and elderly. A record which has since been gleefully claimed by the heroes of Stalist Russia, Cambodia and other friendly states with whom our industries are slavering to trade.
