[edit] Germany and the Armenians in WWII

Even though Armenians were not formally persecuted by the Nazi regime, Hitler stated " who now remembers the Armenians" . This statement referred to the inaction of the world community during deportation and killings of the Armenians in the period around the First World War. Historians have suggested that the meaning of Hitler's statement was that if the Turks got away with committing Genocide against the Armenians , then Nazi Germany could get away with starting a genocide against the Jews.
