Armenian Genocide Part 3

Documentary on the Armenian Genocide** "In a special Correspondent to coincide with Holocaust memorial week, Fergal Keane investigates how a terrible slaughter, three quarters of a century ago, has returned to haunt the relationship between Turkey and its western allies. For decades the Armenian people have campaigned to have the killings of hundreds of thousands of their forefathers in Ottoman Turkey in 1915 recognised as genocide. But there has been an equally determined campaign by Turkey to deny genocide with threats of reprisals against any country which uses the word to describe the slaughter. Now as the United States steps up its efforts to win Ankara's support in any conflict with Iraq Correspondent reveals new Turkish pressures. Threats to withdraw military bases have forced the American Congress to abandon legislation which would have used the all important term, "genocide". The programme also discloses how President George W Bush and his predecessor Bill Clinton both broke promises to the Armenian community that they would recognise genocide. Talking to Armenian survivors, Turkish officials and key political figures in the United States Correspondent investigates a story of terrible slaughter, political intrigue and a people betrayed." sitruc

If that is a genocide. What's the matter. Do you want money , land , life of turks. In fact asala took lives. Think what the people who kills people at peace time , can do at war

Good for you. You have an important commonality with the Turks. The Serbs are the only nation after the Nazis to be officially accused by the International Criminal Court in the Hague of conducting the genocide in Bosnia. Congratulations! Well respected members of the international community whose voice should be heeded in matters pertaining to genocide. Experts indeed.

Armenian people used to live in peace for a long time because of turks.However armenian gangs opportunitally  killed the turkish childrien, woman and old people in the time of world war 1. Genocide was made against the turks by armenian gangs. Then, the sad Turks whose lovely relatives were killed by armenian gangs, normally reacted. İf you realy belive in armenian genocide, why dont you want a councile of scientists to be set up to investigate this subject in all ways?

ARMENIANS DESERVE THE RIGHT TO RECIEVE AN APOLOGY AT LEAST!

@Spartak300The You have support from Serbia also. There's one monk on Hilandar (Athos) who predicted many things, among them was that Russan Tzar would return and that Orthodox will finally unite and destroy Turkey forever. Hopefully that day would come fast.

I don’t think any intelligent Turk would deny as to what happened to the Armenians. They disagree with the label of genocide because they feel that they had to do what they had to fighting the enemy who was invading and wanting to destroy them. This is really where the simile with Jewish Holocaust breaks down. The Jews didn’t take up an armed struggle against Germans. There is a background of Imperialist war of plunder etc during WW1 that is another dimension.
