The historians confirm they were revenge attacks on the Armenian convoy by the Kurds and Turks and irregulars who got their own people killed by the Armenian militia and killing gangs. What is not clear is this: Was there an Ottoman policy to organise such attacks or did some elements within the Ottoman government acted outside the official orders. Turks argue it was not the official Ottoman policy. Plus they hanged some Turkish officials for irregularities they knew existed at the time.

When Armenians were deported, the Ottomans didn’t have the means to organise such a hugely complicated and logistically difficult manoeuvre. It was inevitable that many people died during this what effectively turned into a death march. But the Ottomans were not in the mood to worry about this neither did they have the means to organise it.They were fighting a war of survival and the Armenians were passively and actively collaborating with the enemy. It was a matter of national security survival

The convoys got attacked. There were communities that suffer at the hand of the Armenian bandits and their allies Russians. Historians telling us that these were revenge attack as well as attacks by the irregulars looking for a bounty, as some Armenians were rich folk. But also most people died of starvation and diseases rife in the whole of Eastern Anatolia. What happened was a tragedy and inexcusable, but it was a bloody war and Turks were under attack and the weaker side.

And what about the millions of Turks massacred by Armenians. Do you have any clips of those? No I don't think so, because the Imperialist bastards who egged on the Armenians were not interested dying Turks as they were subhuman Muslims!  Go to Hell with your deeply racist and biased views of the world. The Jews didn't attacked Germans you muppet! Read the history and consult opposing views as well

Ok lets assume Armenians have paid of this professor along with Taner Akcam, Orhan Pamuk and all the other scholars that agree the genocide did take place. And lets assume the Armenian lobby got more than 20 nations (including France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Switzerland) to pass resolutions recognizing the killings as genocide. What about the official documents from US, French, German, Russian archives? How do you deny that?
