I see that many people still don't believe...

Answer 1

Yes, I think they should. Fortunately, there are intellectuals nowadays in Turkey who also think so, but there are not many, and things are not easy for them. I hope that things change in the future in that country.

I am French, and many people here in France support this position.

Answer 2

Yes, they shouldn't hide those pages of their history that they don't like. More than 1.5 million people were killed, many have left their homes, they have left the land which they were living there for thousands of years, this is what just happened in 1915, let alone what was going on before that ( during sultan abdolhamid II ). And they say those have never happened...
They ( government ) should stop telling lies to their people and children. They should stop the discriminations against ethnic minorities in Turkey. The government is a supporter of racism against non-Turks, specially against Armenians. They don't even let TURKISH writers to talk about that. There is even lots of discrimination against Kurds, they were even once saying that there isn't anything named Kurd!!!
ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS EXIST BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST.

Answer 3

The Armenian Genocide did happen, and Turkey is too much of a coward to admit that it happened. They don't want the world to know how they murdered 1.5 million people on the basis of being simply Armenian and Christian.

Answer 4

I hope and pray that the turks will admit the genocide, but as a few people said, facts and figures are covered.. everything from that era is shady and everyone has different theory.. even though i believe from the bottom of my heart that it happened.. i don't know if the turks will admit their crime, b/c they know they'd have to pay for it...

Answer 5

It happened, and we've got the PROOFS.
Not only turks should admitt what they've done, but they gotta PAY for it;)
Because there are some doors that can’t be closed once they’re opened...
Impatience is such a pathetic human trait., bt i hope am gonna be alive to see that day;)

Answer 6

Yes it is a fact, and it is matter of time before everything finishes for our favor, our leaders are working on it, and making sure of it.
And if you can post a site near your Q (add details) about ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, that would be fantastic.

Answer 7

Armenian Genocide is a fact and its been proven consistently. Turkey opening archives.....lol Do you guys read news at all???


Writer Elif Shafak prosecuted.
Nobel prise winner Orhan Pamuk prosecuted.
Journalist Hrant Dink prosecuted and killed, (he was Armenian).
more than 300 historians, journalists, writers, and thinkers have been arrested, prosecuted and jailed because they mentioned the Armenian genocide publicly.

"Turkey opened its archives for historians to debate..." All the documents have been "washed" already. The so-called historians in turkey are lawyers for the criminal Ottoman Empire not historians as they call it..

Answer 8

yes.
there are many documents, pictures proofing that Armenian Genocide took place in period between 1889-1915. Turkey will accept in what they've done because it is a crime against humanity.

Answer 9

WE the Turks slaughtered and butchered the Greeks, the british, the italian, the French, the Armenians and many other people who attacked TURKEY. They were all assailants... We had to defend our country ... So we had to butcher them... There was no other choice... Otherwise they would butcher us... But of all the nations we butchered, only the Armenians claim that we genocided them.... Everybody in the world laugh at armenians with their buttocks

Answer 10

do u think why all views are in favour of armenians in the west?

because;

Even Turkish archieves are open (Armenians dont open their archieves!), many people believe in the genocide so that in their country, Armenians talk about a so-called genocide so much and for all over the years, Turks have not taken these claims seriously.

please just be fair and think!

The genocide contract signed in the United Nations at the date of 9.12.1948, went into effect at the date of 12.01.1951 in accordance with 13. section of this law.

Armenian genocide has not been accepted in that time, therefore, Armenians have no right to want anything like land or indemnity from Turkish side. i dont know why the sounds have increased for the name of the Armenian genocide in recent years. Where were these people many years ago? Maybe, they want to create a political pressure against Turks and cause Turkiye to open their borders to Armenians and break the embargo of Turkiye on Armenia... However, we will never open our boundaries to them, as they dont apologize from us because of their lies!

Why some European countries accept this nonsense thing by their courts or laws and dont let historians talk about it?

However, if someone talks too much, that doesnt mean s/he tells the truth. Everybody has to be unprejudiced and make their comments after they read the history from every source.

And if someone claims the genocide, they have to prove it first, not the others have to prove there is no genocide.

Armenia continues to make propaganda against Tukey, says that there are lots of proofs, documents etc. but do not accept establishing an international committee which can finally come out with certain results. If you are so sure, why to hide then ?

The claimed genocide was in a time of a civil war that Armenians, Azeris, Turks and Kurds involved. Turkey accepts that thousands of Armenians was killed by Turkish gangs, militas but thousands of Azeris, Kurds and Turks were killed by Armenians also in the same period. So it is not so easy to name it as a genocide.

It is same every where, my friend. The actual history and national history that tought in schools,family etc. is different in every country. If you think there is an Armenian genocide, may be it is time for you to check other side of the story. For instance, you may start with the Azeris killed by Armenians.

The claimed first Azeri genocide was almost a century ago, and then again and then again. Today there are still thousands of refugees because of the conflict between Azerbaycan and Armenia. Why don't Armenia focus on your existing problem first because of which thousands of families is still suffering ????

That wikipedia and the other armenian web sites are one-sided and the thing there are not real

http://www.turkisharmenians.faithweb.com

is a web page, which was made by Armenians. Please visit it.

year: 1920s; there is nothing, but peace and agreements between turkiye and armenia and on their boundaries
year: 1950s; armenian racists claim = 300 thousands
year: 1980s; armenian racists claim = 1 million
year: 2000s; armenian racists claim = 1,5 million

so in 2050, what will these increments be? 5 million?

inside the whole ottoman boundaries, there were not even 1 million armenians. so how can these Armenians claim that 1.5 million armenians died in the east anatolia?

yes, many armenians died but not because of the genocide, they died because of the war, diseases and the cold like turkish people.

with russian incitements and commitments, some armenians burned turkish villages and those people's reaction was the same.

An investigation of Justin McCarthy (a professor of history at the University of Louisville) will help you:

"The plan of the Armenian Nationalists has not changed in more than 100 years. It is to create an Armenia in Eastern Anatolia and the Southern Caucasus, regardless of the wishes of the people who live there. The Armenian Nationalists have made their plan quite clear. First, the Turkish Republic is to state that there was an "Armenian Genocide" and to apologize for it. Second, the Turks are to pay reparations. Third, an Armenian state is to be created.
If the Armenians were to be given what they claim, and if every Armenian in the world were to come to Eastern Anatolia, their numbers would still be only half of the number of those Turkish citizens who live there now. Of course, the Armenians of California, Massachusetts, and France would never come in great numbers to Eastern Anatolia. The population of the new "Armenia" would be less than one-fourth Armenian at best. Could such a state long exist? Yes, it could exist, but only if the Turks were expelled. That was the policy of the Armenian Nationalists in 1915. It would be their policy tomorrow.
We should be very clear on Armenian claims. Their claims are not based on history, because Armenians have not ruled in Eastern Anatolia for more than 900 years. Their claims are not based on culture: Before the revolutionaries and the Russians destroyed all peace, the Armenians and Turks shared the same culture. Armenians were integrated into the Ottoman system, and most of the Armenians spoke Turkish. They ate the same food as the Turks, shared the same music, and lived in the same sorts of houses. The Armenian claims are surely not based on a belief in democracy: Armenians have not been a majority in Eastern Anatolia for centuries, and they would be a small minority there now. Their claims are based on their nationalist ideology. That ideology is unchanging. It was the same in 1895 and 1915 as it is in 2005. They believe there should be an "Armenia" in Eastern Turkey-no matter the history, no matter the rights of the people who live there.
History teaches that the Armenian Nationalists will not stop their claims if the Turks forget the truth and say there was an Armenian Genocide. They will not cease to claim Erzurum and Van because the Turks have apologized for a crime they did not commit. No. They will increase their efforts. They will say, "The Turks have admitted they did it. Now they must pay for their crimes." The same critics who now say the Turks should admit genocide will say the Turks should pay reparations. Then they will demand the Turks give Erzurum and Van and Elazig and Sivas and Bitlis and Trabzon to Armenia.
I know the Turks will not give in to this pressure. The Turks will not submit, because they know that to do so would simply be wrong. How can it be right to become a member of an organization that demands you lie as the price of admission? Would any honest man join an organization that said, "You can only join us if you first falsely say that your father was a murderer?"
I hope and trust that the European Union will reject the demands of the Armenian Nationalists. I hope they will realize that the Armenian Nationalists are not concerned with what is best for Europe. But whatever the European Union demands, I have faith in the honor of the Turks. What I know of the Turks tells me that they will never falsely say there was an Armenian Genocide. I have faith in the honesty of the Turks. I know that the Turks will resist demands to confess to a crime they did not commit, no matter the price of honesty. I have faith in the integrity of the Turks. I know that the Turks will not lie about this history. I know that the Turks will never say their fathers were murderers. I have that faith in the Turks. "

FINALLY, IF WE DEFINE WAR LOSTS AS THE GENOCIDE, THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOSE GENOCIDE THAT WAS; THESE EVENTS WERE STARTED BY ARMENIAN KILLERS. MUCH MORE TURKS HAVE BEEN KILLED BY THEM!
