just come out and call the real live Historians that say there was never an "Armenian Genocide" liars and dishonest ? The likes of Professors Justin McCarthy, Norman Stone, Guenter Lewy, Andrew Mango, etc etc (these are the names off the top of my head of the living historians) I was inspired in asking this question after I saw Istanbulboagzi's question with the Chicago Tribune article link ?

1. You drop your laptop and destroy all of your work.
2. You get into your car, just to discover it is not working. You take a taxi to the work.
3. When you get to work, you face unjust and fierce comments about your work.
4. You get a deep papercut on your finger. It bleeds.
5. The data recovery person says that it will take weeks to recover your data.

What would you do if this all happened within 4 hours?

The Armenian Lobby in the US spent Millions upon Millions of Dollars in buying US Congressmen and Women who promised to pass the fallacious Genocide resolution, the Foriegn Affairs Committee passed the resolution opening the path for a full vote in Congress. However, when push came to shove 11 Co Sponors have withdrawn their support and it looks like if it was voted on the Resolution HR 106 would NOT pass Congress. Have a look at this link and I will also post up another article my question is was the money the Armenians spent worth it ?

I need ideas... The money chasers gave up green land again. And today I watched an interview on tv. The minister was telling how harmless the gold diggers will be. This government has told so many lies that I find it hard to believe. Can you point to me some web site that shows gold digging can really be harmless?

These people need public pressure again to be directed to the right way. NGOs are preparing for a big demonstration. What else can be done?

I'm not here looking for trouble. I am American, my parents are both born in the US, my grandparents come from Turkey-after the Armenian Genocide, so I'm 2nd generation Armenian-American.

Growing up I lived in a non-Armenian area, just regular Americans, ironically at the age of 12 I made best friends with a girl who was Turkish- American, we ended our friendship but had nothing to do with her being Turkish- we just faded as friends. She even dated my brother.
I have friends who are Turkish as well, they wont discuss the Genocide with me at all. But were still friends.

So my question is Do Turkish people recognize there was an Armenian Genocide?
Do Turkish-Americans do?

And why do some Turks deny there was a genocide?

Thanks/

A friends question made me think again. Russia has a military base in Armenia, but there are 350,000+ Armenians in USA. USA wants to have Azerbeycan as an ally, but Armenia occupies Azeri land and massacres thousands. USA wants Turkey to remain an ally, but diaspora Armenians cause a rift between USA and Turkey to open.

I am confused. Whose friend is Armenia and Armenians? (Other than themselves, of course.)

Turkish genocide resolution? Are you kidding me? The completely ineffectual morons in congress are trying to politicize any damn thing they can. Are they going to pass a resolution that we -the Americans - committed genocide against the Native Americans when we stole this country from them? The Turkish people are our closest ally in the Islamic world and a member of NATO. For political standpoint we are going to ruin that relationship? While they are rearranging the deck chairs our beautiful ship of state is sinking.

Because we should talk about the genocide LIES! :DDD

And the question is, do diaspora Armenians feel threatened that the bill is losing support in US Parliament? Do they expect us to shut up to prevent that?

15.10.2007 PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia’s representative in the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, Karen Mirzoyan (residence in Istanbul), confirmed that Armenian citizens are being arrested in Turkey. “I have got information proving this fact. However, I am not competent for such kind of issues and cannot furnish a more precise information,” Karen Mirzoyan said, RFE/RL reports.

Irish Times newspaper reported that some 100 Armenians - illegal migrants - were detained in Turkey for further deportation to the homeland. “Their deportation is viewed as revenge to adoption of the Armenian Genocide resolution by the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee,” the newspaper said.

Meanwhile, Karen Mirzoyan said that Armenians who illegally resided in Turkey were detained “with a purpose of deportation over violation of visa regime.”

Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia declare war on Ottoman Turkey.

The First Balkan War began on October 8, 1912 when Montenegro declared war on Ottoman Turkey. Ten days later, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Greece, the other members of the Balkan League, then followed Montenegro in declaring war against Turkey. The First Balkan War was fought to decide the fate of Macedonia, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey in Europe.

That is almost 100 years ago, can we just let it be history, and move on to the real issues, facing the world today.

The Washington Post says no... Read news below...

[The Washington Post]
Armenians who need help today
Fred Hiatt from the Washington Post suggested that if the Armenian Diaspora had worked as hard for democracy in Armenia as it did for congressional recognition of the genocide Armenians suffered nearly a century ago, modern Armenia would be as democratic as modern Turkey.

There are passionate arguments on both sides of this fight: the urgency of facing history honestly, on one hand; unease over attempting to resolve such matters by political declaration, on the other, he explained. “ But what is sad, when members of Congress are hailing the vote as a victory for human rights, is how poorly human rights fare in Armenia today. The heads of both US organizations told me that their groups have worked, sometimes quietly, to promote human rights and civil society in Armenia. Undoubtedly their influence would be limited, no matter how hard they tried.
