  • She and he have to look at the picture of the turkish polices violance against woman and children in kurdistan. In 21 of March a policman broke a hand of a kurdich child in front of the cameras just for the fun... The last prople who talk about uman rights it is the turkish regime. The genocide Armens, greeks and now they are doing the same with kurds. 20 milion Kurds in Kurdistan Turkey, have no right to talk their language, to study their language. Turks wil never join the EU until they wil not change the slogan fascist slogan which says: You have to be proud that you born like a Turk. Submitted by: Kurd

  • Now regardless of all this we as ARMENIANS still love you guys don't think we all hate you(Turks) all we want is respect for the people whom were murdered so we can set the history strait for our (Turks and Armenians) future. And I think we earned that respect. Red color of your flag doesn't just come from Turkish blood we bled with you at the canakkale, ana fartalar, and trough out our history, yes our history you might not like to here this may be but it is true. Thank you for reading.

  • 3.0 Issue of Armenians returning to their homes and lands. I am not going to say much to that. I will let you read this paragraph so you can make the conclusion on your own if you can with open mined. MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATURK said to the Turkish delegates before they leave for the Treaty of Lausanne. " When Armenian issue is brought up tell them they can come back one at a time; but if they ask for Armenians to all return, just get up and leave. And this was said not in 1915 but many years later.

  • 2.2 When ever Turkish man wanted or liked a Armenian girl they just simply raped or abducted them; and tell the families they should be proud because she is with Muslim now. Same thing with the Armenian farm lands; turks or kurds take it as they were pleased. And "above all Armenians pay "KELLE VERGISI" literally meaning,taxes for each neck at the house hall and the reason Is! They were Christian. And when they complain or asked for help they were prounced as rebel,when they try to stop abductions of their young, almost children girls, they were CALLED TERRORIST.

  • 2.1 Now then they did all this and as a result, they wear different color clothing then the turks, they couldn't go to the same courts, their was a special courts assign to them not to be nice or protecting them but, because they were not Muslims or turks. Armenians also did not count as a witness at the courts.

  • 2.0 Armenian terrorism you say. Lets talk about that; Armenians in Ottoman empire was called "SADIK MILLET" trusted nation above all the Christians and Jews. Why? you say! they died, sweet, worked, protected the land,( they were soldiers doctors,lawyers, and more) just like turks did and some times even more; only difference was they were Christians nothing more.

  • 1.1 Or are you talking about the criminals whom was released at the very same time Armenians were bean deported from their home land, those criminals were out to do what army couldn't do openly. Killed, raped, cut the heads of the priest or any man they found and put it on a stick and place it to the center of the villages or entrance of the towns to show what happens to the people who was not Muslim and asking to be treaded as "equal" to the those whom they lived with for centuries.

  • 1. Ottoman empire issued a statement to the army to move Armenians from the hidden roads and mountains; which is away from the missionary s and populated areas ( indication in it self of a plan carried out very well). Or you are talking about the HAMIDIYE ALAYLARI organized by Ottoman empire to keep the blames away from the empire it self; but put it on Kurdish soldiers whom killed and raped even the children.

  • To Semih. Unfortunately you are looking the history from one point of view. 1.What army was sign to protect Armenians? 2. What Terrorism are you talking about? 3 .And finally what return are you talking about?

  • 5. Last..Since your paper is really a platform for Genocide Denial, when is David Irving scheduled to come to the LA Times to discuss how the HOLOCAUST never happened either?
