GOP House Candidate: Armenian Genocide Could Have Been Prevented, Had the Ottoman Empire not Robbed Armenians of Their Guns

Las Vegas Review-Journal

Armenian Genocide could have been prevented had the Ottoman Empire not robbed Armenians of their guns, Nevada congressional candidate Danny Tarkanian said during a radio interview, PanArmenian reports, referring to The Huffington Post.

"I happen to understand that the first thing Hitler did before he herded the Jews into concentration camps to kill them was he passed, I believe in ’38, a law that said no Jew could own a gun," Root said. "In the end you’re powerless and defenseless if you have no gun."

Tarkanian, a perennial Republican candidate and vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, said the Holocaust was an example of "history repeating itself," and pointed to the Armenian genocide.

"I’m Armenian, and the Ottoman Empire - they took the guns from the Armenians," Tarkanian said. "They came and killed 1.5 million of the 2 million that were there because they had no way to defend themselves."
