Denying Armenian Genocide in Times Square

Times Square in Manhattan was the scene of a very strange, very professionally-staged demonstration yesterday by a Turkish group denying the Armenian genocide. An LGF reader sent the link to a slideshow on Flickr with photographs of this event, featuring a Pinocchio statue representing “Armenian lies.”

Turkey, of course, is trying to be accepted into the European Union, and people keep bringing up the murders and persecution of Armenians. This is the first wave of a highly-funded public relations campaign to deny Turkey’s crimes.
