Armenian genocide has no comparison

September 15, 2025

Adrian Lipscomb is wrong to claim “similarities between the Armenian and Gazan genocides”.

Anzac PoWs were witnesses and their uncensored accounts were recorded, as the Armenian National Committee of Australia explains:

“Shortly after the Gallipoli campaign, Australian soldiers came into contact with the genocides of the Armenian, Greeks and Assyrians. Over 300 ANZACs were held as prisoners of war by the Ottoman forces. These ANZACs recorded their experiences in detailed diaries and memoirs with vivid accounts of the genocide. Many of these accounts are now stored in the archives of the Australian War Memorial.”

For reasons only the War Memorial can justify, these records are hidden from public display.

A total of 1.5 million Armenians, up to 500,000 Assyrians and 300,000 Pontic and Anatolian Greeks were killed by the Ottoman Turks. I suggest Lispcomb undertake more thorough research into the Armenian genocide before making such spurious comparisons.
