In 1915, Ottoman Turks killed 800,000 to 1.5 million Armenians through the systematic destruction of the male population followed by forced death marches through the desert. The Kardashians avoided the {genocide|race murder|racial extermination|killing|kill|putting to death} by immigrating to the U.S.

“I {would like|would really like|would love} President Obama to use the word ‘genocide.’ It’s {very|terribly} {disappointing|dissatisfactory|unsatisfying|unsatisfactory} he hasn’t used it as president. {we|we have a tendency to|we tend to} thought {it was|it had been|it absolutely was} {going to|getting to|progressing to|attending to|reaching to|planning to|aiming to|about to} happen this year.
