Professor of History at U of M and expert on history of genocide comments on aspects of the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Outakes from TPT-TV show of April 24, 2005, "The Armenian Genocide: 90 Years Later."
France, Italy, Russia, Greece, they all wanted a piece of Turkey. They encouraged and persuaded the minorities in the crumbling Ottoman Empire to rise against their government. They hoped this would ease their task and help them to destroy the last vestiges of already weakened Ottoman authority. Armenians took up arms alongside the invading enemy. Imperialist dreams made many innocent people to suffer. Armenians were not innocent bystanders.
In 2005, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan invited Turkish, Armenian and international historians to form a commission to re-evaluate the "events of 1915" (his preferred description[154]) by using archives in Turkey, Armenia and other countries.[155] Armenian president Robert Kocharian rejected this offer.
You're an idiot because you think that Turks will recognize what they did WITHOUT losing a very real war or suffering unbearable consequences. You are also a fucking moron for thinking that Americans or Jews will do the same when they are part of the problem and the Turks' ally in spirit and in fact.
the difference between holocaust denial and armenian genocide denial is that germany's govt doesn't sponsor denial literature and it doesn't deny the holocaust. turkey's govt is the exact opposite; they have engaged in a needless pursuit of denial which has only dwindled over the years, and will eventually burn itself out; the truth cannot die.
GEEZ insidebetween!! thanks for using the F word against me, shows how much class you have. I guess your screen name describes a location where your conscience lies: inside a vacuum, and between ignorance and injustice.
don't worry, this will change...the former president of ADL resigned since there was resistance on the part of SOME Jews to recognize the Armenian genocide...his argument was that for Jews to not recognize it would be very hypocritical! patience is a virtue, and for us being patient isn't hard, b/c we have the truth on our side.
