Assyrian International News Agency:

Assyrian Genocide Monument to Be Unveiled in Sydney

The site is expected to become a pilgrimage site not only for the Assyrians but for all Australians who are sympathetic to this issue.

Australians contributed generously to help the displaced families during WWI, donating supplies and financial assistance through their charitable organizations to help the victims of this Assyrian, Greek and Armenian genocide. A great number of Australian soldiers engaged in the war helped bravely, saving the innocent victims of this genocide from the hands of the enemy and were thus first-hand eye-witnesses to the tragedies suffered by the indigenous Assyrians, Armenians and Greeks of Anatolia.

This is great news!

Australians have always been very sympathetic to the plight of Assyrians and Armenians.

Many Aussie POWs witnessed the death marches, the executions and their recollections are on display at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, including the recollections of a RAAF Pilot who was a POW and even on one of the death marches himself but miraculously survived. I will try and find some info about this great man.

The Australian Imperial Forces (AIF), or more popularly known by most of you as ANZACs were in the thick of it!

It is only a matter of time before Hocking introduces Armenian genocide bills to the Australian parliament!
