Interesting Images

Here are some interesting examples of images doctored as proof for the Armenian genocide.














This is a painting by Russian painter Vasily Vereshcagin, "The Apothesis of War" painted in 1871. Vereshacagin died in 1904, 11 years before the alleged genocide began.



This painting was shamelessly made to look like a photograph and put forth as an image of the "genocide."















Of course the most offensive example is this one of the beloved Mustafa Kemal.
















The original photograph shows Mustafa Kemal posing for a photograph with some adorable puppies at his feet. Someone very creative and vindictive decided to alter to photo to make it look like he was sitting with a child's corpse at his feet. And then the photo was used to promote what to me seems to be a lecture about the genocide at UCLA by several Armenian academics. I'm sorry, but that is just wrong and offensive.
