So any chance is exploited in a way as political pressure on Turkey, which is a continuation longing from the Medieval times. I was simply shocked that we had even massacred Assyrians according to a website, once when Kaiser and I were debating over Armenians. The internet is a trash bin as much as it is an info source.
The Turks are simply the last ethnic group to conquer and settle Anatolia. The Greeks are just as guilty of conquering and settling Greece. And of "genocide" (a gross miss-use of the term BTW) against the Lycians, Carians, Capadocians, and others in Anatolia. Turkey has just as much right to exist in Anatolia as any nation on earth has to exist where it does.

However if you can stop for a moment and clear fogs in your mind assuming that you relaly want to learn about something without prejudice, I think you'll be able to judge between "war" and "genocide" more easily.
The problem with the Armeians is that they need someone to blame for 600,000-1 million dead. So with it being true that the Ottomans ordered them out and that Turks did the killing they blame you, in perpetuity through out the universe. They just leave out that they started it.

Too ture, again sadly.
