Armenian Genocide

First, I support recognizing the genocide.

Second, that quote in there by hitler is biased. The quote itself likely never happened as it's not found in any records, and is probably propoganda against hitler.

There are numerous accounts of Hitler speaking in regard to the Armenians, with at least two similar versions of the 1939 speech coming from the German High Command archives. The most notable quote attributed to Hitler on the Armenians is excerpted from an August 1939 military conference, before the invasion of Poland:

“ I have issued the command—and I’ll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad — that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formation in readiness — for the present only in the East — with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space [Lebensraum] which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? "

About that, wikipedia also says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_quote

Of course, wikipedia isnt the best source for saying something is true. But at least that article has good sources for itself.
