In addition to Urdu poems, here's a Turkish slogan for you:
Hepimiz Ermeniyiz
We Are All Armenians.
Today is a good day to remember that secular nationalism is worse for

24 avril 1915
Le génocide arménien
Le samedi 24 avril 1915, à Istamboul, capitale de l'empire ottoman,
600 notables arméniens sont assassinés sur ordre du gouvernement.
C'est le début d'un génocide (*), le premier du XXe siècle. Il va
faire environ 1,2 million de victimes dans la population arménienne de
l'empire turc.
