The only problem this video has is WHO died from the Armenians. Not just fighting men. Innocent women and children, too, whereas the others nations lost mainly men fighting a war. The video doesn't talk about the Ottoman government's intention to ethnically cleanse the entire Armenian plateau of its native people by deporting them into the Syrian desert.
As long as Turkey DENIES they intentionally killed my entire family, stole my family's riches, stole our lands by doing so and gave our homes to Kurds, we will be a sharp stone in their shoe.
armenia was invaded by many nations, including the Asyrians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Mongols, Persians, Ottoman Turks and Russians. Turks were the only ones to giv armenians opurtunity to be in goverment, army generals and many high places in the ottoman empire.and you tell me turks comited genocide.. you gota be kiding me!!!! armenians have sided with russians because they promisd armenians their own lands if they helpd the rusians, so behind enemy lines armenian SLAUGHTERD TURKS
@Arzive If Turkish Government didn't think there's sufficient enough of evidence to prove the mass killings of Turks and Muslims and that there was no intent to exterminate the Armenian population, they would not be demanding to be brought to International court. Turkey has also invited other countries for a historical commission with Armenia. I think that speaks for itself. Period.
Sure, but Turks always forget to mention one aspect of their history. Back in 1919, there was a Turkish court-martial (not international, TURKISH) (by Sultan Mehmet VI) that condemned the authorities of the Young Turks for the mass killings of Armenians. They had all fled and were later killed by Armenians who wanted to take revenged. Why would we need an international court if the TURKISH MILITARY court had back when the genocide was nice and fresh sentenced the three to death?
Col. Wooley, British officer, estimated the Armenians had killed 300,000-400,000 Muslims in Van and Bitlis alone. These and other cities are in the east, not the Balkans. Along with the mass killings, Armenians engaged in wholesale rape, often including very young girls, and torture. These are documented by friends of Armenians in contrast to Turkish crimes documented by hearsay. As for those found guilty in the 1919 mock trials by a puppet gov't: the British themselves rejected these findings.
Your killings in Van are absurd. The majority population of Van (over 50%) was Armenian, and the next was Kurdish. I highly doubt that in 1915, almost half a million muslims even lived in Van, let alone killed. That's how many people live in Bitlis TODAY. That would make Van a more populated city back then than both Van and Bitlis are today. That's extremely unlikely, what I like to call propaganda.
Yeah, sure. Whenever the Turkish side exposes itself, we named those 'traitors' puppets. When i present to you telegrams and images, population counts and information from your own archives, you label them fabricated, unworthy, garbage. Every single evidence we point to you is apparently fake. How the hell do you want me to argue with a person like you? It's a waste of time, you're worthless.
A competent tribunal was set in motion, to find individual Ottomans guilty of massacres. This was the Malta Tribunal. It never went to trial, because for over two years, its administrators could not find evidence for conviction. The archives of several nations were searched, including the archives of the United States, and certainly the archives of the Ottoman Empire, which was under the control of the British occupying Istanbul. Every accused was set free at the en
"France, Russia, Italy, Greece, Kurds, and the American Archives and historians, International Association of Genocide Scholar themselves reject your denial."
Mind you, all countries involved in the Ottoman Empire at the time recognize the genocide because their historians have solid evidence in their archives.
The Turkish denial is a scheme, and it's working on 70 million people in a single country only.
Why Armenians afraid of discussing these subjects infront of history?Because its easier to win around Europe-where Turkish haterade at its maximum-Isnt it interesting that all armenia genocide laws are coming up to countries which have elections in a near future?
Gentlemen wake up,history can not be altered with the politicans and not always the most crying is the most correct.If you ever try to be fair once in a while you may understand what I am saying.
The only thing that speaks for itself, knowing this, is that Turkey has worked hard on erasing evidence on their genocidal intent, and now they're ready to present to the world their fabrication.
Armenians dont have any legal evidence its all propaganda. Denouncing Turkey for carrying out atrocities in 1915 before any such investigation is entirely unacceptable! It is impossible to force us to accept allegations of genocide as a result of behind the scenes lobbying efforts in the parliaments of varios countrys!They can try to force the label in this manner as much as they want we wil not accept it, There can be no such acceptance! Turkish archives are open to the world armenian is closed
Those behind the scenes lobbying efforts are what you wish was happening. The reality is the opposite. Turkey is paying millions every year to keep mouths shut (I heard this statement numerous times on Turkish TV debates). What you just said is simply because you have nothing left to say. If you don't believe me about the court-martial of 1919, go check your archives. Your government is denying the eligibility of their own court. Would you trust a country that does that?
You statements are simply based on your personal pride. You take the Turkish side because you're Turkish, not because you're looking for the truth. I don't deny that Ottomans felt backstabbed, I would too, if I were them. I don't deny that Armenians killed some Turks in the process, it's only natural given the circumstances. I forget my nationality, look at both sides, and make a conclusion (genocide). You on the other hand just looks at your side, and then blame us for being one sided.

You can talk all you want. Our ancestors hold the truth. A few people can be affected by propaganda, but not the entire population. Each and every single Armenian who lives today can tell a personal story of how their ancestors survived the genocide and how they saw their entire family die in front of their eyes.
@Arzive You know and I know that the United States government isn't about to give Mexico one inch of land and neither is our government going to give Native Americans one inch of land either. The same logic applies to Turkey and they aren't going to give Armenia one inch of their lands. I suggest you take a look at the Lausanne Peace Treaty that took place in July 24, 1923. It is past time for you Armenians to get a life and love your fellow man as your Bible teaches you to do.
Does this mean, "OK you're right, but we're still not gonna give lands back" (if the same logic applies, then the same atrocities apply as well)
hahahaha. Don't put America and Turkey in the same bag. You say this when Turkish police can't even walk on their eastern lands because Kurds beat them up. Eventually, Kurdistan will be made, and then we'll see if Turkey doesn't intend on giving up lands.
Before you start teaching m the bible, get your government to read the quran.
@Arzive During the reign of the Ottoman Empire the turks and armenians lived in peace. After the invasion of the allied forces (Italy, Greece, France, Great Britain, Australia) in Western Turkiye and the Russians in Eastern Turkey the Armenians began to support the Allied Forces especially Russia and Greece. To support the invasion armenians started a civil war by creating "ARMENIAN GANGS" who were aimed to massacre the Turkish citizens.
You're wrong, they didn't live in total peace. Sure, they DID live better than under other muslim empires, but not like you say. Our rights were always suppressed. We had no right to go to court unless we were muslims, meaning we were always judged wrong. Christian girls would be kidnapped and raped by a criminal, and he wouldn't be guilty because he raped an infidel (an example out of many). Your problem is that you want people to believe Ottoman and Turks were angels, which they were not.

One last argument. This one is using your logic:
