The problem of Armenia, and the Turkish atrocities there, are at the forefront of the pressing questions of the world today. In every civilized land, it is arranged along with its pressing domestic issues. Everywhere there is not only sympathy and indignation, but a sense of real responsibility. We are a group of Christian nations, and the first Christian nation is being wiped out. Within a few months, the barbaric Turks and Kurds destroyed more than a thousand villages and towns, killed a hundred thousand Christian Armenians - innocent men, women, and children - and left another 500,000 without homes, clothes, or food, thousands of shamefully defiled women, and thousands of men subjected to terrible torture. Death in the streets, fields, and mountains. Death from hunger, hail, storm, and diseases born of all these; They die of broken hearts and despair more than shame and psychological torture. And yet all these Armenians who suffered and were driven to starvation and death like deserted animals were quite peaceful - in fact, they were completely unarmed and could not have otherwise if they wished - quite decent, most at ease, some rich. The person who was last week a banker is today a beggar. Yesterday a dealer, today a tramp. why? Mainly because he is Christian, and the sultan has decided that there should be no more Christians in his power; The torment of Islamism hangs over their heads. They are told: "If you accept Islam", "It is good and good; if you do not, you will be killed or worse as your colleagues were."
