Armenian Genocide

Today we remember the 94th aniversary of the Armenian Genocide. What do you think about it?

The period that lasted until the end of the nineteenth century when the apogee of these developments and relations was attained, was the golden age of Armenians .
In fact, the Armenians were by far the greatest beneficiaries of the opportunities offered by the Ottoman Empire to all industrious, capable, honest and straightforward citizens of the non-Moslem communities.Being exempted from the military service and to a large extent from taxation, they had the opportunity to excel themselves in trade, agriculture, craftsmanship and administration and therefore were rightly called the “ loyal nation” because of their loyalty and ability to interact with the Ottomans.There were so many Armenians who spoke Turkish, who even conducted their rites in this language , who rose to topmost public service posts such as the Ministries and Under-Secretariats of State for the Public Works, Navy, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Treasury, Posts and Telegraph and Minting.The Hinchak, Tashnak, Toward Armenia, Young Armenians, Union and Salvation, Ramgavar, Paramilitaries, Black Cross societies and Hinchak Revolutionary Committee, which were established out of Anatolia, formed organisations urging the people for an armed revolt. These activities were the bloody uprisings that cost thousands of Turkish and Armenian lives.During World War I, the Ottoman Empire was fighting against Russian armies in Eastern Anatolia, where the Armenian revolt was at its peak; and also against Armenian forces which supported the Russians.On the other hand, behind the lines it had to continue to fight against Armenian guerrillas that were burning Turkish villages and towns and attacking military convoys and reinforcements. In spite of this violence, the Ottoman Empire tried to solve the Armenian problem for months by taking local measures. Meanwhile, an operation was made against the Armenian guerillas and 2345 rebels were arrested for high treason.When it became evident that the Armenian community was also in rebellion against the state, the Ottoman Empire proceeded with the last resort of replacing only those Armenians in the region who actively participated in the rebellion.With this measure, the Ottoman Empire also intended to save the lives of the Armenians who were living in a medium of civil war because Turks started to counter-attack the Armenians who had performed bloody atrocities against Turkish communities.Today, Armenia and some states using Armenians for their economic and political benefits have launched a massive propaganda campaign to present the replacement decision and the 24 April arrests as genocide to the world public opinion.The goal of these terrorists is to plant into minds of people the existence of a genocide, to force Turkey to recognise it, to receive indemnity from Turkey and, finally, to snatch from Turkey the land needed for realising the dream of Great Armenia

The relocation, which was started with the orders of Talaat Pasha, and approved by the Government and the Parliament as a measure against the Armenian riots and massacres, which had arisen in a number of places in the Country — pre — dominantly in Van province, was only implemented only in the regions in which such riots and massacres affected the security of the fronts directly.The Armenians, by using false documents have succeeded to deceit the World for a long time. The rumor about Armenian holocaust (!) which expressed at first as three hundred thousand and later increased to three million has no basis at all.In conclusion, it can be said that the Armenian Immigration which was a necessary measure to ensure the State Security and Safety is among one of the most successful transportation and re-settlement processes; and has no intention whatsoever to annihilate Armenians.

Sugar: what happened to the armenians of nakhichvan when it was under the Azerbaijan SSR?

u r not innocent, u killed many azaeris in karabağ, in hocalı, even babies.

Firstly: I have never killed any person.

Secondly: You talk like if Azeries havent killed any armenian, what about the pogmoros?

Thirthly: You are full of hate, it seems you really want we dissapear. You'd support a new armenian genocide, can you see?

it is what people say in you not respectful to human rights of freedom of speech country. In my country people are 100% free and we can talk about everything ans say whatever we want, here we can listen ALL points of view, maybe you cant believe in the genocide cause in your country if you say so, you go to prision.

the governemnt  changed that rule last year.

My turkish friends dont say the same

I am not French ;) Ask to a French

indeed,even armenians know that genocide did not come true.. Turkey have been saying for years "let's open history archieve and documents "

somehow armenien did not answer anytime.cause,they have not evidences.

and there is one more reason to make so-called genocide admit…armenien is poor land.they are in need of us.if we admit so called genocide,they will take damages and land.

maybe you know,there is a idiom in turkısh.we say in such as condition.

"you will lick your handful.".............one two three start!!

most people consider what happened to the Armenians as genocide.

There was a war on, that is true, but the mass evictions on hundreds of thousands of Armenian civilians doesn't qualify as legitimate fighting.

Is it real dispute of the historical facts, or national pride that makes Turkey refuse to accept the events as genocide?

Before people label me, anti-Turkish, I hold the same criticism towards the other countries that never own up to the crimes of their history, such as Indonesia, Russia…. 

How silly, How can any one expect muslims to ever own up to any genocide that they do?

It is only "non muslims" how do all genocide….....

Darfur, Armenian genicide, Indian genocide, Iranian Genocide , genocide in Iraq by sunnis etc etc.. History is filled with genocide by muslims.

all they do is either deny it or say they are not "real" muslims. 

Muslims expect others to shut up and live under Islamic rule. while they justify killing of every one for thier pseudo freedom of religion.
