Why doesnt Armenia open up their historical archives. Because you have somehing to hide. Why doesnt Armenia admit their current genocide against Azeris? You are the only person (Armenian) on this forum that has asked a respectable question. That is your belief and that is fine. But did you readthe facts from both sides. Armenians ave not been able to produce a single, solid proof and they constantly refuse to open up their historical achives although the Turks have done so. WHY? look for the answer for this question first. Armenia did not even have a country between 1045 and the early 1980s. WHY? I will tell you why because they were too busy stirring things up and making terrorist acts.
I am half Greek half Italian and I am just sick of these Armenians coming here and making comments about Turks who I like very much without knowing anything about their own history.
Sorry mate, tell your government to speak the truth. And tell them to develop their own country, one of the worse GDPs in the world,. so poor and quit trying toscore free cash for events that never took place. And if it did it was the other way around. But since the Armanian government has no money Turks dont even try to claim these genocides that the Armenians committed. There is no money to score.
The way you asked this question you looked somewhat intelligent and peaceful. You wrote on another question that you hat Turkey and Turks. And many more assaults. You know what I am not even Turkish and I hate you. And everyone hates you. Nobody lieks your terrorist state. Stop killing Azeris. Do one good thing for humanity. Tell me one good thing Armenia has ever done in their history for humanity. You dispicable liars.

I think you havent read any trusted history books yet or one sided ones maybe, if i were you instead of asking on here, i would go to a city library and do a small research which is not written by both sides to have the correct idea on that maybe at that time u could see what really happened that time. Coz , i have also friends from eastern turkey and they say that their ancestors were killed by armenians, then what should i come up with turkish genocide by armenians?Doesnt make anysense, plus i just condemn the guy who thinks that all bad people are from Turkey or in Turkey, then tell me as the center of civilizations , Anatolia, How could it feed up those superior people for ages?

I'm Turkish. I know many Armenians died in 1915. And if it was a genocide Ottomans committed it.
There are many different claims. Some say both Turks and Armenians died, because it was a war. And if you know Turkish things are more different because there are tons of content about the issue in Turkish. They have documents, too.
Modern Turkey was founded in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. And since 1923 no genocide happened.
I don't feel guilty or responsible because I haven't done anything, have I?
If you say, "why doesn't your country recognize it?" I say " Our politicians try to seem friendly to the average citizens, and average citizens don't recognize any bad things about their country"
I mean there are millions of people thinking that "Turks never commit genocide because we're a perfect nation, royal nation"
Many Turks recognize the incident as a genocide any say "Yes Ottomans killed hundreds of thousands of Armenians, just like how they took children of Europeans and turned them into Janissaries"
I feel closer to the second one.
The only thing I can't stand, when some Armenians insult Turkey everywhere on internet and do nothing but swearing. It's making relations with Turks harder. For example saying "Turkey is an evil country, all people are murderers" etc.
I have no bad feelings for any nation, like every decent person.

Did you join Yahoo Answers to make Armenian Genocide propoganda? Most of your answers and your only question so far are about this issue. Moreover somebody asks "What annoys you the most?" in the Culture session and your answer was "Genocide". Come on!
There was no Armenian Genocide and that is why Turkish people and state does not admit it. This does not mean many Armenians died in 1915, but so did Turks.
There is tension here because recently a lot of people joined and were swearing to Turks non-stop. Thanks to Yahoo they are all removed now.
At least you keep a civilized manner. Please keep it that way otherwise, Yahoo is replacing users so fast that after 100 years you people can call it a genocide.

Hey I'm Assyrian, and I know that the Genocides of the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks DID happen, all Genocides occurred at the same time. Close to 3 million Christians perished simply because they were Christians living in the Ottoman Empire. Turkey knows that if it accepts the Genocide of the Armenians for example, then it must accept the Genocide of the Greeks and Assyrians which is something Turkey does not wish to do. I don't understand why Turkey is so special that it cannot accept what it did, France and Belgium accept their Genocides of Africans, why can't Turkey be the same? I know the Genocide happened, we are living proof!!
** And to that lady who said Genocide means to finish off a race of people---HELLO what about the Holocaust!?!? It was planned to exterminate all Jews but was thankfully unsuccessful. The Genocides were PLANNED to kill all Christians but did not happen, thank God. The Pope even today has to be protested by Turks by visiting Turkey, if Islam is a religion of peace the Turks should showcase Islam's characteristic for the Pope and all the world to see.

Turks prefer to look friendly, type,hospitable. The word genocide rocks the boat. yet their love of money is mythical, and so as that they might hate to spend extra on repairing a broken popularity.

Armenians dont hate muslims. Armenia was the first to accept Christianity as a national religion 300 AD. Since then there has been many wars with neighboring countries. Because most of them are muslims, but that was war, they have won and they have lost. The reason that Armenians dont like the turks is because of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, which killed about 1.5 million Armenians, and they historical lands were taken. 75% of turkish lands used to be Armenian soil. After all these 91 years ago turkey still doesnt accept responsibility, thats what makes people look at turkey with hate, not only Armenians but most of the civilized countries. Every country had wars, but war is different, soldiers fight, kill and get killed. But killing innocent women, children, elderly just because they are Armenian, dragging them in deserts, cutting body parts, starving them, leaving them with no water, and watching them as they die on by one, and taking their homes and lands is GENOCIDE!

Why do the Armenian diaspora and Armenian people use a so called genocide to cover their invasion in Azerbaijan?
Why does Armenian state still demand territory from Turkey and why are they expansionist?
The term genocide was coined during the second world war, how can we accuse someone doing which was not known on the earth?
Why does the Armenian state refuses to open their archives, while Turkey opens them? Do Armenian people want to cover the reality that Tachnak and Hıncak parties and a big part of Armenians shot the Ottoman army to help Russian and other allies armies?
Many papers from British and french archives prove that Nougar Pasha and many other Armenian leaders helped enemies of Ottoman empire; why do Armenian people ignore many historical realities?
I tried to answer you by questions... I hope you could understand, but I don not think so because so called genocide became a sort of religion in Armenian community. They believe in this religion to not be assimilated in western countries...

Also I m an Armenian living in Malta and I think you can not talk about a genocide, it was a war. Yes, we lost a lot, but our grand-grand fathers also killed lots of Turks.
Its normal for Turks not to admit the genocide and i believe there were no Armenian or Turkish genocide, it was a war.
