1. OVER THE YEARS, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES HAS DEMONSTRATED A CALLOUS DISREGARD FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, FOR DIGNITY AND HUMANITY WHEN THE ISSUE HAS BEEN THE ARMENIAN PEOPLE, THEIR HISTORY AND THEIR CAUSE. SHAME ON THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, FOUR OF MY GRANDPARENTS WERE ORPHANTS AS A RESULT OF THE TURKISH GENOCIDE OF 1915, I DO NOT NEED THE LOS ANGELES TIMES TO TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED TO MY GRANDPARENTS. I KNOW THAT THEY LOST THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR LAND, THEIR NATIONHOOD. HISTORY CANNOT BE POLITICISED, IT CAN BE RESPECTED SO THAT LESSONS ARE LEARNED. THE LOS ANGELES TIMES DISRESPECTS HISTORY TO PLAY POLITICS. SHAME ON THIS DISREPUTABLE PAPER.

2. 'We are few but we are Armenians." Any people with self-respect should defend their rights and we Armenians will remain tenacious in our fight for justice and reparations. We do not care that 100 years have passed - that makes it an even more disgraceful stain on mankind created by Turkey. Our martyrs' bones are strewn all over the lands of Turkey brought to their premeditated grave by the ancestors of the barbaric invading horde who emanate from the same gene pool. Turks, protest all you want. We WILL get justice.

3. What about the 300,000 Armenians massacred by Abdul Hamid in 1894? And the 30,000 Armenians the Turks slaughtered in Adana in 1909? And the thousands of young Armenian girls and boys smatched from their villages to end up in harems and the Turkish army, Moslemized and then "peprished?" Armenians will get justice. Out there still exists a civilized world. Armenians endured hideous injustice at the hand of the Turks for centuries. There is no need to debate or to fact find. LA Times give it a rest or start debating the Holocaust too.

4. Talaat said of the Armenians he only wanted one to remain and that was to be in a museum. Turkey was designated the "The sick man of Europe" long ago and shall remain so until they stop denying their responsibility of the Genocide. Turkey for Turkey only was their mantra before they began their premeditated killing fields of the Armenians. The Armenian Revolutionary Movement was a necessary action to end the tyrrany under which the Armenian minority was subjected. Turks continue to use the guise of WWI as a tool for their guilt.

5. What we have here is a case of mistaken definitions. Terrorism (as was conducted by Armenian militiamen against innocent Turks and Azeris) is when civilians form to kill other civilians, but Genocide is more serious matter altogether. As we know, genocide is when the State kills its own civilians. There is an obvious difference here, and this is what is not being addressed by Turks or Genocide deniers. Saying "Armenians" killed Turks and Azeris and Azeris is like saying all Muslims are terrorists. S

6. The denialist ploy by the U.S. surrogates of Turkish neo-cons has given a platform for the Armenian demands for Justice. Sassounian harnessed that opportunity by boldly presenting the important issues of the Armenian Case. He presents a modern-day quasi-manifesto for the Armenians and the Turks for lasting peace. By giving platform to the denialists, The Times had caused substantial damage to the Cause of Justice. The Times has partially mitigated that damage by giving Sassounian an opportunity to present the side of the Truth. The world has spoken out! Now it's Turkey's turn to speak the Truth and make amends to the Armenians.

7. You are so funny Mr. Mehmet Kaan! Nobody is denying that it is all right for the Turks to have been killed by the Dashnak millitia. Those were terrible terroristic acts, but not systematic ethnical clensing which your government of the time did during WW1. The reason why your present government(a) have been denying the Armenian Genocide committed by the Young Turks, is because they know that if they do, then they will have to compensate billlions of dollars to the Armenians from whose grand parents valuable lands were confiscated. This will be disastrous to the Turkish treasury!

8. Tell me Mr. F. James, where did you get your 2.2 million killings of the Azari Turks by the Armenians? Do you know any history at all? If Armenians had killed that many Turks, today they would be sitting on a big chunk of Azari Tukish land the way Turks are sitting on the western section of Armenia by just massacring l.5 million Armenians. Nobody denies that there have not been revenge killings, but come on Mr. get your facts clear! Of course some hot headed young Armenians killed a few Turkish heads or maybe their neibors for retaliation of their families being butchered by the Turks.

9. I hope that one day all our Friends in Turkey will wake up like there scholars did, and realize that the history of the world written in all over the world it does not exist in their history books. There must be something wrong in that, the world history books against Turkish history books.

10. My aunt's husband told me the story of their family. He was a two year old boy,hidden behind a pile of sleeping matresses of their turk neighbors'home while if the government fount out about it would kill turk neighbors also and they had eskaped turkey.I wonder if the turk nation was against what was going on in their country at that period of time why should they deny it continuously now,I wonder if the purpose was not genocide why should they send out women and children from their homes and walk them barefooted and hungey and thirsty to the heart of wildenes? .
