My family was murdered by Armenian mercenaries in 1914. I read detailed views from all sources. Armenian sources seemed to be not based on facts. Infact, they do not mention any Turkish deaths at all and for their casualties of up to 300,000(mostly famine), they claim a number of casualties, higher then the total Armenian population. It was very clear that the Armenians were very well off in the Ottoman Turkish Empire and had many high positions. They maintained their culture, language and religion in tact and perhaps stronger, under Turkish rule for 1,000 years. During the late 19th century, missionaries from the West formed schools in Ottoman Turkiye, attended mostly by Armenians. It was here that the Armenians were encouraged to rebel. Many joined terror groups, blowing up targets throughout Turkiye. Note, this is before WW1. By the late 1890s, they had an Army of 100,000 armed mainly by Russia to ethnically cleanse the Caucasus of Turks so that they can reach Bagdad oilfields.

Turks have always been a problem in the history of the Balkans, in Cyprus, in Germany and many other countries. Turks are trouble makers with infantile psychology who always put the blame on others. They strike first but when the enemy retaliates, they are cry babies. Grow up you people and stop whining!

That was war! 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 their 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 one by one, and taking their homes and lands is GENOCIDE!
