I would have thought there were already people on this, but I guess not.
So, here’s the crucial question? Who? (Would play The Doctor?)

From April 1915 and over the next year, Turkey carried out a genocide of some 1 to 1.5 million Armenians living in Turkey. This was the latest and most significant of a series of smaller scale events that led Armenians to flee Turkey, and eventually, many arrived in the United States.
