“The Turkish govt would have been much wiser if years ago it faced its history and said [to Armenians], ‘If you have property deeds, if you have claims, or people died, let’s try to resolve it. . .’”*

“. . .Many Armenian women preferred to throw themselves into the Euphrates with their babes, or have committed suicide in their homes. The Euphrates and the Tigris have become the grave of 1000s of Armenians.”

We just learned Idaho paid hunters $2,000 for every newborn wolf pup they killed. Meanwhile, Trump is working to weaken the Endangered Species Act, putting imperiled wildlife at even greater risk.
This is an abomination. There’s no undoing extinction.

The administration is trying to make it easier to kill wolves in Colorado. Even though citizens voted to bring them back. 🐺
On Oct. 27, Burgum signed an order to review how Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) decides when to kill wolves, and whether ranchers are being paid enough for livestock losses.
It also says Interior could change the rules so Colorado can act faster when wolves threaten livestock.
Colorado has about 45 wolves compared to its 2.5 million cattle.
The wolves are barely hanging on.
But Colorado is different from other states. Coloradans voted to bring wolves back, and the state built a plan around that vote.
CPW already pays ranchers for livestock killed or missing. Coloradans' tax money already helps pay for it. More than $700,000 was approved for 2025. The order looks at whether that's enough.
The review is due Nov. 11. Then the Fish and Wildlife Service hands Colorado its recommendations. That includes changes to the agreement that lets the state manage its wolves. Under Colorado voters' plan, killing a wolf without authorization is illegal. That can mean fines, losing hunting privileges, even jail.
In early September, CPW killed three young wolves from three different packs after livestock attacks. They say the ranchers tried to stop those wolves without killing them.
Why not just move them? That's been tried, and wolves don't know boundary lines. The answer isn't more dead wolves. It's teaching ranchers how to use nonlethal tools, and helping them do it.
It can work. In Idaho, a seven-year study found ranchers using guard dogs, people on the ground and lights lost 3.5 times fewer sheep than nearby areas that leaned on killing wolves.
Colorado's program is woefully inadequate. It has 13 range riders for millions of acres.
And the wolf issue is bigger than Colorado. Trump signed an executive order attempting to delist gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves.
Then Trump told ranchers they can shoot 'em. Rollins said they can't, because wolves are still on the endangered species list.
Nobody in Washington asked the wolves. They didn't ask Colorado's voters either. Speak up for the wolves. The review is due Nov. 11. Petition is in the first reply.

6 Nov 1882: Medical missionary and humanitarian Maria Jacobsen is born in Siim, Denmark.
She would save 1000s of Armenian genocide orphans. And adopt 3 herself.
The rescued children called her “mayrig” (mama).

Diyarbakır Surp Giragos Ermeni Kilisesi ve Agos Gazetesi çalışanı Armen Demirciyan da bu dünyaya veda etti. Demirciyan, Daha önce hayatı ile ilgili şöyle demişti;
-"1961'de #Diyarbakır'da doğdum. Herkes bana 'babfıle' diyordu; kimi aşağılamak, kimi de beni sevdiği için. 'Gâvur tohumu',
'gâvur çocuğu' gibi karşılığı var. 1915'te dedem, ninem ve 3 amcam öldürülmüş.
25 yaşına kadar #Kürt kimligiyle
büyüdüm. Bundan sonra #Ermeni tarihiyle, kültürüyle, sanatıyla, kimligiyle, müziğiyle yaşayıp ölmek istiyorum. Bu nedenle Ermenice kursuna gittim, Ermeniceyi öğrendim. Adım Armen Demirciyan. Çok seviyorum adımı da soyadımı da."

Armen Demirciyan'ı kaybettiğimizi üzülerek öğrendim. Dikranagetliler olmak üzere toplumumuzun başı sağolsun.Armen'nin hayatı Ermenilerin yaşanan acıların özettiydi.

Born in Turkey and raised to hate Armenians, Ridvan Aydemir just discovered he has Armenian roots.
There are millions like him. To those in Turkey celebrating the Armenian genocide: there is a high chance you’re taking pride in the slaughter of your own ancestors.
I was raised with Islamic-Turkic pride and with hate for Christians and Armenians.
My DNA analysis consistently shows that roughly 90% of my ancestry comes from pre-Islamic and pre-Turkic native Anatolian populations, most likely Armenians. The numbers are not different for most Turks today who are raised similarly.
It's messed up how populations have been brainwashed by Islam.
