Live from Medicine 2.0

I don’t think the issue at hand is an expectation of recompense or even direct apology. The Turkish government is claiming the Armenian genocide DID NOT happen. As I noted in a previous post, general apathy toward the genocide led Hitler to believe a Jewish genocide would be met with similar indifference (”Who remembers the armenians?”). The erasure of genocide leads to a culture of impunity which fosters more genocide in the future. Sue, I invite you to read my earlier post on this for more information on the history of the cover up, which has often involved coercion.
