Peter Musurlian shoots, writes, edits, and narrates this news story, giving viewers a rare look at the face of Genocide Denial in the 21st Century, in this case represented by the slick Consul General of Turkey, Hakan Tekin. Tekin offers some dishonest words about history and present-day Armenia, as well as some positive words about Barack Obama, who, interestingly enough, acknowledges the Armenian Genocide. IMPORTANT AMENDMENT: This video was pulled on 6/25/08, after a lawyer for Claremont Graduate University complained to YouTube. But, 15 days later, it was restored to YouTube, when the complaint was deemed baseless.

  • HAHAH the greatest tragedy in the 20 centurie??? WELL GO ASK THE JAPANESE WHAT THEY THINK IS THE GREATEAST TRAGEDIE!!!! NAGASAKI AND HIROSHIMA WHO AMERIKA A BOMBD THERE ASS AND KILLED MORE THEN 2 MILLION PEOPLE IN LESS THEN 2 MINUTES!!!!!

    EN BUYUK TURKIYE!!!!

  • Wow, Tugieboy. You are quite a historian. Your parents must be proud.

  • The "LAchick1177" YouTube account was created by the Turkish Lobby only a month ago, just to troll the Internet and make comments like this. It is amazing what millions of dollars in tax revenues, paid to high-priced American lobbyists, can do for you.

  • Thank you for the compliment, 301AD, but actually I am a professional, born & raised in America, & have nothing to do with Turkish lobbying.

    Isn't it funny that Armenians spent so much money lobbying in Washington to get Obama to recognize their supposed tragedy only to get NOTHING from him?

    Obama, nor any president in America will ever recognize it because Turkey is IMPORTANT & Armenia is not.

    Looks like you guys will be bitching about it for a loooooooooong time!!!!

  • LAchick1177: It is suspicious that someone who is not Armenian, Turkish or a paid Turkish lobbyist, would have such an interest in this matter, especially after creating the YouTube account a month ago. If you are being truthful, I'll let you in on something: this issue is about the attempted extermination of our ancestors 94 years ago. This is not some banal political battle, like what the capital gains rate should be. It is about the capacity of human beings to kill other human beings.

    You love when Armos .. blablabla ..

    Me I love when a Nobel Prize like Orhan Pamuk recognizes the Armenian Genocide or Taner AKCAM, professor and historian recognizes the Armenian genocide.

    That's the difference between an uneducated person like you .. and an educated person like me.

    Please keep your insults for you !

    if you are able ...

  • What he really meant to say is " whoever is elected will be brainwashed by our lobbyists, threatened by our ambassador, will be given a crash course on this issue by Israel and will become an overall victim of Turkish and Israeli propaganda, just like the last 3 fools that became presidents"

  • France voted a low to penalize the negationsim of the Armenian Genocide.

    One year of jail + 60.000 Us dollars !

    This Ambassador must think different now !

    Times are changing ...

    Turkish diplomats have a lot of work and their have to face their crimes .. not so easy now !

  • There's a cold place in hell waiting for this Takin cunt.

  • @LAchick1177 You're a fucking idiot. Armenians didn't pay Obama, Obama said he would acknowledge the genocide to gain support. You're a fat pig face turk who doesn't know shit about this issue, just like the rest of your monkey race. Turkey isn't important, no one likes them. Armenia, Syria, Greece, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, most Americans, and most western Europe countries HATE Turkey. How is Turkey important? What have they ever done good for the world? Not jack. Pig face turk.

  • @LAchick1177 Ronald Reagan accepted the Armenian Genocide. lol you Must be dumb!

  • this cock sucker is turkish diplomat :D ? how funny

  • @Tugieboy Thats a war you moron, thats Genocide. The bombs dropped on Japan was during a war, and it stopped WWII, Japan had a chance to surrender before the bombs were dropped, Armenians were not in war and did not have a chance to surrender.

  • @Grangerfl demand the return of historic land ?

    1) they where living in ottoman empire, there was no such thing as armenia, after world war 1 they made a country thanks to the help of russia.

    2)its like telling the israelis to gie back the historic land to palistines, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN !

  • If Turkey changes too much its international politic in the Middle East and if Turkey gives too much advantages to Russia, if Egypt, Lybia, Tunisia and few others Arabic countries change their regime, then, Israel and America will be obliged to use the Armenian Genocide as a tool to demonstrate how Turkey is bad ..as bad is Iran .. as Saddam Hussein was bad ... strangely, I think , we are more and more close to that time ! ....
