Armin Wegner - Photographer during the Armenian Genocide

Armin T. Wegner, whose photographic collection documents conditions in Armenian deportation camps in 1915-1916, was born in Germany in 1886. At the outbreak of World War I, he enrolled as a volunteer nurse in Poland during the winter of 1914-1915, and was decorated with the Iron Cross for assisting the wounded under fire. In April 1915, following the military alliance of Germany and Turkey, he was sent to the Middle East as a member of the German Sanitary Corps. Between July and August, he used his leave to investigate the rumors about the Armenian massacres that had reached him from several sources. In the autumn of the same year, with the rank of second-lieutenant in the retinue of Field Marshal Von der Goltz, commander of the 6th Ottoman army in Turkey, he traveled through Asia Minor.

It a whole new wold when the children and grand children of the perpetrators of the Armenian Genocide call us brainwashed.

I feel no hate towards these Turks.

I only feel pity, as they have no idea of the crimes of their ancestors.

@Hayzavak You are a very dumb person, yes you are brainwashed from the birth. No Turk ever denied Armenians suffered they only dont call it a Genocide because it wasnt planned and made to kill all armenians.

 Armenians killed hundredthousands of Turks during WW1 and after that they did the same thing in Armenia, Azeris were 300,000 in 1897 and went down to 90,000 in 1926. After that Armenia made Karabakh war in 1994 and again made 800,000 Azeri people refugees.

I do not want to mention Cavid's name in a paragraph that is loaded with much shit personalinities of history but Cavid was not a jew, he was totally most propbably atheist
