		<description>The Armenians obviously have been trying to rewrite the history as they wish to have been and want to cast the role of innocent victims of a so-called genocide as if they had not performed hundreds of revolts against the Ottomans, being organized by Armenian committees Hınçak and Taşnaksütyan (24 revolts only in September to December 1895). Here are evidences from English and Russian Archives which contradict with the Armenian allegations:

* &#039;The Armenians ejected sulphuric acid to the faces of the Turkish people, fired their houses and killed them using knife and bullet, in Gaziantep&#039; (Report of English Ambassador Henry D. Barnhamof Aleppo –Halep-, dated 16 November 1895).
 
* In 1905, the Armenians killed all the Turks and Muslims who lived in  Susha in Azarbaijan (Russian newspaper Novoye Obozrenye 6 September 1905).
 
* Armenian Soviet historian A.A.Lalayan stated that the Dashnaks displayed extreme courage to massacre Turkish women, children and ill and old people (Contrarevolyutsionnıy &#039;Dasnaktsutyun&#039; İ İmperialisti-cheskaya Voyna 1914-1918 gg.&#039;, Revolyutsionnıy Vostok, No.2-3, p.92, 1936).

 *  V.A. Gurko-Kryajin declared that the Muslim folk around Yerivan and Kars were eradicated and the districts Shuragel, Kağızman, Karakurt, Sarıkamış, Surmali were fired and destroyed so that the folk were forced to escape, in his book entitled &#039;Neareast and the States&#039; (V.A. Gurko-Kryajin, Blijniy Vostov i Derjavı, p.93, Nauçnaya Assotsiatatsiya Vostokovedeniya Pri TsİK SSSR, Moscov, 1925).
 
* &#039;150 000 Armenian volunteers in Russian Army were the only forces against Turks&#039; told Armenian 
Boghos Nubar, in Paris (Times of London , 1919 Jan 30 Link: http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com/2007/10/2013-150-000-armenian-volu...)
 
*&#039;The Turks who had been slaughtered like animals were buried in large  holes in the Eastern Anatolia&#039; writes Russian Lieutenant Colonel Twerdo-Khlebof in his diary
(www.tsk.mil.tr/ermeni_sorunu/arsiv_belgeleriyle_ermeni_faaliyetleri/pdf/yarbay_tverdohlebov.pdf).
 
*T. Hachikoglyan, in a speech he delivered, told that the Dashnaks eradicated thousands of 
Turks with their bloody hands (T. Haçikoglyan,  10 Let Armyanskoy Sttrelkovoy Divizii,p4-6. İzdatelstvo Polit. Uprav. KKA, Tiflis, 1930).
 
* Ovanes Kachaznuni (the first prime minister of Armenia) declared that  all the tragedies they lived was the Dashnaks&#039; responsibility and originated from their lack of foreseing the realities in the report he presented to Dashnak Party&#039;s Conference in 1923. (&#039;There is Nothing that Dashnak Party Can Do&#039;) (Note that this book is banned in Armenia at present).

* The Ottoman government tried more than 1300 men for not having taken the necessary measures during the migration and convicted many and executed several in 1916, because of the documented and horrible massacres of the deportee columns (See: Interview with Talat Pasha published in Berliner Tageblatt Newspaper on May 4, 1916 and the order sent to provinces from the Ottoman government dated 1June 1915 from Prime Ministry Ottoman Archives SHFR, nr 54/9). 

THE OFFICIALS WHO WERE FOUND FAULTY DURING THE DEPORTATIONS WERE COURT MARSHALLED IN EARLY 1916 (OUT OF 1673 WHO STOOD IN COURT, 67 WERE GIVEN DEATH SENTENCES, 524 JAIL TERM, 68 ROW BOAT AND MONETARY PUNISHMENTS BY TALAT PASHA GOVERNMENT, BEFORE THE OTTOMANS LOST THE WAR.</description>

This is the kind of insensitivity from where genocides spring! I ask everyone to be sensible before starting to headcount deaths. 1 person or 1,500,000. Murder is murder; not a statistics game. 

In fact, the people of the world whether Armenian or Turkish, need to learn not to discriminate: There is nothing as a single type of Turk. There is nothing as a single type of Armenian. Everywhere there are human beings (Good, bad or mostly ok) whose rights are sometimes violated by states. Nobody deserves to be killed or exiled. 

That&#039;s why we need to protect all human beings. That&#039;s why we need &quot;human rights.&quot; It is not enough to protect and love only what we call &quot;ours&quot;. Armenians need to love Turks and Turks need to learn to love Armenians. 

I hope everyone understands what Jesus said in these verses someday. It has beeen 2000 years and we still have not come to this moral standard:  

&quot;But I tell you: Love your enemies[a] and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?&quot;

		<description>If Turkey wants to display itself as a progressive modern country, worthy of recognition by other nations &amp; perhaps be allowed to join the EU, it has to grow up &amp; admit it&#039;s guilt and allow it&#039;s citizens to talk about the Armenian Genocide from 1890 to 1923 freely.
Simply put Turkey has run out of time &amp; the Genocide has become its Moral, Political &amp; perhaps Economic millstone in the 21st century.
Just go to the link below &amp; see that an independent USA site gives full account of the whole atmosphere, intent, craftiness &amp; denial by Turkey.
The site also lists other 20th Century Genocides to present a fair perspective to the readers and to show the mindset of some individuals and nations. 

Turkey has done a great job of hiding this dark chapter of their &amp; world history but can no longer defend it’s actions, as their own citizens are feeling the embarrassment of the denial and are using “safe” methods like the internet to admit it &amp; they are not ashamed either. This new wave is too mighty for Turkey to defend against. This matter will not go away! Just deal with it!
The only way out is to be brave &amp; admit one&#039;s bad deeds in the past and move forward in life, rather than procrastinate &amp; cause grief to the sufferers.
I hope Turkey will step up to account for it&#039;s barbaric &amp; opportunistic past &amp; open the path for it’s own growth.

P.S. Here are some quotes to help you along with the decision:

“Delay is the deadliest form of denial.”
Denial is a common tactic that substitutes deliberate ignorance for thoughtful planning.  CHARLES TREMPER 
The worst lies are the lies we tell ourselves. We live in denial of what we do, even what we think. We do this because we&#039;re afraid. RICHARD BACH 
Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. MARK TWAIN</description>

		<description>To &quot;The Nevin Politology&quot;:

It was unfortunate that your life was inconvenienced by threats while you were growing up abroad. However, it was even more inconvenient for the 1.5 MILLION innocent Armenians that were killed at the hands of the Turks.

So, mathematically, 1,500,000 Armenians minus 200 Turks equals 1,499,800 Turks that can be killed BEFORE you can even begin to start complaining about your &quot;innocent&quot; diplomats.

How will the 1.5 MILLION innocent Armenians take back the years they were denied to live? Certainly not by the lies and deception that the current Turkish diplomats live to spread.

An appology is the first step to begin the healing process.</description>

		<description>It make me thinking on why i have to apologize?
Armenians massmurdered many muslim in east anatolia.. It is well know by the ctizen. While there were so many withnes.. and their sons and daughters. living today.

WHy they close their eyes to the light?

Why they dont feel anything for death muslims?

It is ironic that recently they massmurdered 100 000 number of turk in azerbaycan.. and caused 1,000,000 of refugee.

What do they want actualy?</description>
