who are those motherfuckers? WHO FUND THOSE ASSHOLES AGAINST TURKEY? HUMAN RIGHTS IS NOT ONLY FOR ARMENIANS ALSO FOR OTTOMAN CITIZENS MURDERED BY DASHNAQ TERRORIST AND ASALA TERRORIST SO SHUT THE FUCK UP ASSHOLES!!!!
1. Taner Akcam believes in the truth of the Armenian genocide, and that makes him an Armenian? Where is your proof for this? His opinion doesn't create his ethnic background. What about all of those other Turks who are emerging these days, saying, "yes, we did commit a genocide to the Armenians!" Are they all, suddenly, Armenians to your eyes, too?
@Arzive 1. ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS HYPOTHESIS OF CHRISTIANS AND IT COULDN T BE THEORY BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROOFED AND IT IS NOT ACCEPTED BY US. HE IS ARMENIAN AND HE IS FROM ARDAHAN, WHICH WAS ARMENIAN CITY IN OTTOMAN EMPIRE PERIOD AND WHEN RUSSIANS CAME TO ANATOLIA IN 1914, ARMENIANS COMBINED WITH THEM...HIS FAMILY ACCEPTED THAT THEY INFORMED THAT THEY WERE KURDISH AND THEY TOLD LIE TO OTTOMAN GOVERNMENT, BUT THEIR ORIGIN IS ORIGINATED ARMENIAN... HIS FAMILY ACCEPTED!
2. Since Taner is, according to you, Armenian, his theories are "totally lie"? We're not in kindergarten here. Truth is found in evidence and with research, not whether you're an Armenian or a Turk. Akcam has done research, and so have I. Based on the quality of your language, I'm assuming you don't even have the mental capability to do research.
And I don't mean the quality of your english. It's normal, it's not your mother tongue. I mean the ALL CAPS (sign of impatience, anxiety and closed mindedness), and horribly weak arguments.
@00thelastottoman00 I told you I didn't criticize your english, I criticized your pathetic arguments.
Turkiye still lives with Greeks and Armenians??? Before 1915, there were several millions of Armenians and Greeks in Turkey... the puny 70,000 Armenians and 4,000 Greeks left don't give that much weight to your "Armenians and Greeks still live in Turkiye, so Turkiye is angel" argument. There are A LOT more Algerians and Tunisians in France than Armenians in Turkey.
@Arzive I THINK YOU HAVE MISSING INFORMATION ABOUT GREEK AND ARMENIAN POPULATION OF TURKIYE BECAUSE TURKIYE, ARMENIA AND GREECE SIGNED AN AGREEMENT AFTER TURKISH INDEPENDENCY WAR...
AND ALL SIDES SEND THEIR POPULATIONS TO HOME LANDS...
I MEAN TURKS SENT BY GREEKS TO TURKIYE AND GREEKS SENT BY TURKS TO GREECE...
SO, POPULATION CHANGED, ONLY ISTANBUL IS SAME AS BEFORE... BUT SOME ISTANBUL GREEKS AND ARMENIANS LEFT TURKIYE AS VOLUNTEER..
@00thelastottoman00 Turks never tried to change the language of its minorities? Really? This proves how little you know about your own history. Near the end of Ottoman history, one of the reasons why the Muslim Arabs even rebelled against the Ottoman Empire is because the Young Turks banned Arabic and forced Arabic schools to teach Turkish instead.
@Arzive TURKIYE FOUNDED BY TURKS, I MEAN WHO FEEL HIMSELF AS TURK, HE OR SHE IS OUR CITIZEN...
SO, THERE IS NO GREEK, ARMENIAN OR CHRISTIAN POPULATION IN TURKIYE LIKE OTTOMAN PERIOD...
OTTOMANS DON T CHANGE TO PEOPLES RELIGION AND LANGUAGE BUT TURKIYE CALLED BACK MUSLIM TURKS FROM BALKANS AND SEND CHRISTIANS BACK TO THEIR MAIN COUNTRIES...
BECAUSE WE CAN T SEPERATE OUR LANDS AND PEACE AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY GREECE AND ARMENIA...
@00thelastottoman00 I'm not going to answer you anymore. Clearly you know nothing. You're just mindlessly saying what Bahceli wants you to say (and most annoyingly, with ALL CAPS, as if it makes a difference). I bet you haven't even read any of Taner Akcam's books and you're criticizing his view. I have more important things to do than to educate kids like you.
@Arzive 2. ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS TOTALLY LIE BECAUSE IN 1914 OTTOMAN SOLDIERS KILLED BY RUSSIA IN SARIKAMIS BATTLE AND GREECE CAME TO IZMIR IN 1915 BY BRITISH FORCES... ALSO IN 1915 GALLIPOLI WARS STARTED BY FRENCH AND BRITISH FORCES... TURKS COULDN T SEND ARMY TO EAST ANATOLIA!
OTTOMAN EMPIRE DECIDED TO SEND ALL CHRISTIANS, ESPECIALLY ARMENIANS FROM ANATOLIA TO SYRIA
DURING TRANSPORTATION ARMENIANS DIED IN DESERTS BUT THESE ARE NOT PLANNED BY OTTOMANS
3. Although I'd argue about the details Asala and Xocali, I won't because I'm targeting your way of arguing rather than the arguments themselves. "Armenian genocide is a lie, Armenians are liars, Armenians did the killing, and to innocent Turks, Turks are telling the truth." Get real. What are you Turks according to you? Angels? There are liars and truth seekers in all nations, and both Turks and Armenians killed each other. Your racism comes between you and reality.
A SHAMEFUL ACT......that's what the founder of modern turkey called the armenian GENOCIDE. so take it up with the founder of your country, he admitted it himself.
Taner Akcam is a hero who speaks truthfully about Armenian Genocide and is not afraid of Turkish blackmail to hide it's shameful part of history when they murdered over a million of Armenians.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Terrorist essence of Armenian pseudo-patriots also displayed in October of 1999, when a group of terrorists (from "Dashnaktsutyun") captured Armenian parliament, killed the Prime minister, the Speaker, and a number of parliament members. Inflamed by imaginary "ideology" and led by Armenian Church, Armenian chauvinists became certain in their infallibility and started uncovered aggression against Azerbaijan.
Ataturk said in a 1926 interview with a Swiss reporter that "these holdovers from the C.U.Pshould be made to account for the lives of millions of our Christian subjects who were ruthlessly driven en masse from their homes and massacred. . . ."
Armenians, who state that Karabagh is a territory of Armenia, lay claims to Georgia's Akhalkalaki region and the territory of Turkey, which they call Western Armenia.
Georgian writer and activist I.Chavchavadze write: "Armenians destroyed Georgian temples and monasteries, scraped Georgian scripts on the stones and removed the stone from the establishment and replace them with Armenian scripts.
He must have been mistaken ,because he should have said that"Georgians destroyed ARMENIAN temples and monasteries, scraped ARMENIAN scripts on the stones and removed the stone from the establishment and replaced them with georgian scripts".It's no different from turks blaming the armenians for "turkish genocide".It's a common behavior for a murderer to blame the victim....
Show me where Ataturk said that. Are you sure it is not a lie or a forged BS document just like the one you made up recently...you know the one that said ottomans ordered a genocide? The document was proven to be a fake...you idiots make me laugh.
This come from an article - or is it interview, it couldn't make up mind, written by a swiss reporter and "artist" of which there is no record in switzerland, and provided by an Armenian press service in Boston. Ataturk's made up words here are not in keeping with real words Ataturk spoke about Armenians, no meeting with foreign journalist on provided date is made in Ataturk's records, and no biographer of Ataturk has given credit to this obviously fake interview.
Armenian terrorists became very well known by organizing assassinations of employees of Turkish embassies in many capitals of the world in 70-s and 80-s.
Armenian nationalists acquired specific features, such as terror against Turks in Ottoman Empire, and against Azeris in 1905, 1918, 1923, 1936, 1948, 1988. This terror resulted with many hundreds of thousands of Azeri victims; Armenian military-revolutionary parties, such as "Dashnaktsutyun" and "Gnchak", were established exactly for terrorist purpose.
Attention! It has been proven that Taner Akcam is NOT a Historian. There is a letter posted on TurkishArmenians web sight from the University of Minn. stating that Akcam is ONLY a research assistant and funded by the Cafesjian Family Foundation for his lectures.He has a degree in sociologist amd is a student of Prof. Dadrian a notorious anti-Turk genocide scholar.
and where is this proof. it is not the job of the denialis to prove anything. all an denialist must do is distort and confuse. and that is what ur doin. providing no proof, but making biased and invalid statments
You are right, burden of proof belongs to those making the accusation, not ones being accused. So it is not the job, as you wrote, of the "denialists" being accused; still, the evidence by the "denialists" is solid, like Ottomans taking 1,000+ who hurt Armenians to trial during the war, like majority of Armenians surviving, like Armenian leaders admitting Armenians were belligerents. If you want to prove genocide, you got to show proof of intent by government. Do you have it? No you do not.
Listen he is Turkish or Kurdish, he is talking the Truth, he is fugitive because he is talking truth about Armenian Genocide!!! He has no gain whatsoever by speaking publicly. He is a Historian and He is talking the truth!!
He not fugitive no longer, he escaped from prison though for being a founder of terrorist group implicated in many assasinations and attacks on U.S. diplomats. He has everything to gain, his living depends on this, and he has been supported by Armenian foundations like Cafesjian. He is not a historian, his degree was in sociology. And he is not talking truth he is guilty of many distortions, mistranslations and he makes sure to omit important information against his agenda. He is a propagandist.
A Turkish person who tells the truth about his country can't be a Turk according to you. He is a fugitive in the same way that Orhan Pamuk is a fugitive, becasue the deep state is invested in killing people who are honest about history. If you read newspaper reports of Germany, America, England, at the time, the Armenian genocide is reported in great detail as well as the slaughters in the Trabzon area in 1895.
yeah, and why did that slaughter happened in Trabzon? because your people came and started killing innocent Turks out of there. I mean, what the hell is wrong with your logic? So if you kill me now and my kid kills your kid afterwards, it is okay for you to declare me as the murderere? Look at the time table of things. None of you have evidence. None
@melekian1 he is not turkish..he is armenian-kurdish mixture..thats why you like him..he makes propaganda zoryan institute pays the money..this is a tool used by armenian genocide trade:)))
