As an Armenian-American mom, I also can’t help but recognize that Minnesota’s newly featured eight-point star is identical to the star on the Ottoman Empire’s flag during the late 1800s — the flag that was active when Islamic Ottoman Turks began committing genocide on Christian Armenians in the area.
