Yes, this is about the Armenian genocide in 1915. 1.5-3 million Armenians were brutalized, tortured, and slaughtered by the Turks. The few survivors sought sanctuary in other countries, including Southern California, USA.
Until Turkey acknowledges this systematic cleansing of the Armenians, the United Nations will not officially declare this as "genocide". Personally, I feel the fact that up to 3 million people of one race were targeted and murdered within a year speaks for itself.
Serj, the lead singer of SOAD, has confirmed this is what the song is about.
In addition, Adolf Hitler was impressed by the efficient, mass slaughter of an ethnic group, later using it to back his own convictions that the Jews should meet a similar fate. And likewise, the world wouldn't know/care about the Jews, either, stating "Who now speaks of the Armenians?" His use of death camps and marches may have been strongly influenced by the Armenian genocide.
Anyone who denies this genocide, including the Turkish government, is blind and stupid. View the photos. Do your research. This isn't a fabricated story. These things happened . Similar things happened to my own family. This is very much real and I WILL NEVER FORGET. This song is a good reminded that, even if it's ninety-seven years later, future generations will still demanding acknowledgment of these atrocities.
It's so sickening... I'd never even HEARD of this before, and I have a similar feeling to when I first found out about project MkUltra... what the hell else don't we know about? That's the worrying thing...
