Someday, slowly Turkish Muslims and non-Muslims will recognize that the deportation of Armenians was the intentional ethnic cleansing of an ethnic, Christian minority to realize a future, almost pure Turkish nation. The deportation was unjust and inhumane, and a good example that life can be very unfair.

CHRISTOPHER  JON BJERKNES '' THE JEWISH GENOCIDE OF ARMENIAN CHRISTIANS''

[magicful21]

There is an astonishment on the part of the Turks that no one is talking about what Armenians did to deserve to be deported away from their homes. They were deported because they were, directly or indirectly, helping the invading enemy. Turks were fighting a war of survival. Stalin deported many many turkic minorities some of which now on the verge of extinction. The Jews didn't attack the Germans. End of.

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

"We closed the roads and mountain passes that might serve as ways of escape for theTurks, and then proceeded in the work of extermination. Our troops surrounded village after village. Little resistance was offered. Our artillery knocked the huts into heaps of stones and dust, and when the villages became untenable and the inhabitants fled from them into the fields, bullets and bayonets completed the work." O. Appressian; Memoirs of an Armenian officer,

You are clever and sophisticated. You plot to kill your neighbour. Your neighbour is more simple and generally less educated. Your neighbour survives the attempt badly wounded. They take revenge by killing you. Your surviving relatives now escaped to other lands utilise their sophistication and connections all over the world who sympathise with you due to religious reasons support you to prove a false theory. This is how Armenian Genocide must be seen

[magicful21]

What is clear is that there were massive killings of innocent civilians on both sides. The Armenian gangs were set up specifically for this purpose to intimidate and kill Turkish villages so that they will run away and you have your little Armenia. It didn’t happen. Plus Turks fought back. Now you are deeply angry because you also lost many of your own people. You feel like you lost everthing. You are absolutely right.

[magicful21]

Extremely shallow and one sided. You are a joke of an historian. Give us the background. Tell us about the Armenian killing gangs. Armenian revolutionaries who dreamt of Armenia by clearing the Turks and Kurds from the Eastern Anatolia. Tell us how they set out to achive it by killing innocent Turks and Kurds. You are so so biased, it is beyond imagination.... Let me guess you have a deep hatred of Turks and you held deeply racist feelings towards them.

Or about the genocide of the AngloBoerWar: British concentration camps starved 35% of child population of Boer Republics; totally eliminated two Republics and gave Jewish-run Anglo-American & De Beers control of gold & diamonds.
