The Armenians have lived there for almost 3000 years. The turks came in 1070.

The Armenian Genocide actually started in the late 1890's when Abdul Hamid under the guise of responding back to a group of protesting Armenians who wanted civil rights, murdered ten's of thousands as an answer.

The ottomans, thinking they were the master race, for 400 years brutally oppressed the peoples and lands they occupied. No one had rights other then them. They thought they had rights to your land, money , women, livestock, even your life and could take these at will beacuse after all they were the master race. The Nazis later used the ottomans as role models. The ottomas were the most brutal.

During WW1, after losing 62% of it occupation, and sensing ultimate defeat, the only non-turkic group still directly under Ottoman control were the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian populations. The Europeans and Arabs were by now free from this oppression,

Feeling nationalistic pride, the ottomans decided to preserve the only last piece of land and make it one homoginious ethnic turkic lands and so decided to cleanse all of anatolia of non-turkic peoples. WW1 gave them the perfect cover. Besides being homoginious, the turks also wanted the Armenian's wealth as the Armenians were very well to do and the turks didn't like this either.

On April 24, 1915, the official start of the Armenian Genocide, In Constantinople, 250 or so Armenian Intellectuals, and leaders were rounded up and without a trial, simply executed. This led to where 2.5 million unarmed Armenian men women and children, were forced to march out of their homes, with only the shirts on their backs to be "relocated" to an empty deseart. Most were tortured and murder in the process.

Yes many trurks did die in WW1. But not at the hands of the Armenians. 1.5 million Armenians died by the direct orders given by Talaat Pasha..

The turks were never formally punished even though there was some mock trials. Being the master race and neading to cover up their crimes, so created stories of mass turkish murders by Armenians. As if the Armenians had the ability to murder thousand of turks yet couldn't stop the genocide. So they demonize the victim as they still do today.

Today, turkey spends millions on the denial of the Armenian genocide. They pay a handfull of mercinary "historians" to ignore all facts in order to deny the Genocide. They hang their hats on these hand full of "historians". There can't be any open discussion in turkey or else go to jail. (article 301) You might still get killed. (Hrant Dink). Their intellectuals hide underground for fear of their own safety. All minorities still feal unsafe in turkey.

The Armenian Genocide is a studied, proven, well documented, eyewitnessed Fact!

Let's be clear, the International Association of Genocide Scholars gets paid by noone. Unlike the very small handful of turkish paid historians, Mccarthy, Lewis, Mongo, Shaw etc....specifically to ignore most all facts, just to deny the Armenian Genocide.

Lets be clear, Germany , first hand eye witness of this genocide, who today has a population of 4 - 5 million turks living in it's borders, says it was Genocide. How many Armenians live in Germany?

Lets be clear,:23 countries do officialy recognize the Facts Of the Armenian Genocide. If this is "deceitful propaganda based upon voters" then you give the Armenians way to much credit. Thank you. It's based upon truth.

Lets be clear: the Armenain, Greek and Assyrian Genocides is a historical fact weather the turks want the rest of the world to along with their re-creation version of history.

Let's be perfectly clear: The ADL is a fund raising tool. Nothing more, nothing less. Mr. Foxman is more concerned about Israel keeping cozy relations with the turks and also the possible backlash to the Jews living in Turkey if the ADL were to actually support the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. That is the only reason he is against the official recognition of the Armenian genocide. He said so himself.

Let's also be perfectly clear that the Armenian Genocide has been studied over and over again....Other then Turks and a handful of their paid historians, who's sole purpose is to deny the Armenian Genocide, no one doubts the historical validity of The Armenian Genocide. This includes the International Association of Genocide Scholars. 23 countries including Germany, Turky's own ally, who saw first hand the atrocities committed. Multiple first hand diplomatic eye witnesses plus archival material including 37000 pages in our own US Archives describing the systematic, brutal extermination of turkey's Armenian, Greek and Assyrian population. No, this was Genocide pure and simple and not some creation of the "Armenian Lobby."

The Turks are running out of people willing to lie for them soley for gain. Unfortunatly the ADL is still one of them. Both need to come to terms with with the facts of the Armenian Genocide.
