Nothing wrong with the post. I was just curious what you thought. I think it's a fair fact that 1.5 million Armenians were killed, this is proven. I just find it odd that this sort of thing is hard to acknowledge.
I take no sides, obviously. Considering SOAD are Armenian, I don't think they should stop their attempts at getting it recognized. I mean, they have family members that don't know how old they are, you know?
Either way, I was just curious. Let's not go too deep into this, it'll surely turn bad at some point.
Their grannies don't know their ages because they were deported from anatolia, how this supports the genocide case is beyond me.
I agree, I've had enough arguing over this, it goes nowhere. It's a sad situation, but it's unfair that nobody wants to hear what the Turkish people have to say about it. I'll just say that don't believe everything you read, the stuff you all know about the Armenian Genocide is one-sided and exaggerated.
The Turkish government recently called Armenia to open achives, suprise!!! they declined it. Because they know that when they do that the whole world will know that the Armenian people who LIVED in anatolia aren't even as many as 1.3 million and before the GENOCIDE armenian forces killed some 500.000 Turkish and Kurdish people (all civilians, hence the high death toll) in Anatolia, as Armenians allegedly tried to establish themselves as the majority population in Eastern Anatolia, thinking Turkey would lose the independence war and they'd keep the land to themselves. But of course, they were wrong, and they paid 2fold for what they did.
Are you getting me? There's much more to this genocide story than most pople know.
I agreed to not go further but I did, didn't I

? I'll shut up now, if anyone wants to discess this further we should do that in helheim, but hell we shouldn't even do that, as you can see I tend to lose my temper.
