For Armenians of Diaspora. No Turkish\ Greek comments please.?

Question

I've taken consideration of Turkish sides' arguments. I want to have the comments of the other side.

Judging by the answers given in the Turkish section, I take it that, formally and officially due to unanimous consensus, Armenians are accused as provocative inventors of their Genocide, a fact which they back it up with a lot of evidence.
So far,only the Turkish side has come up with questionable evidence and facts of the event.
I'd like to hear the other side with hard evidence. No hearsay please!

I will appreciate no comments or thumbs by Greek\Turkish members of Answers.I want to judge after having heard and examine both sides.And so you should do.

MY INTENTION WAS, TO BE ABLE IN MY OWN MIND, TO DECIDE THAT THE EVIDENCE OFFERED BY THE TURKISH SIDE WAS UNBIASED AND THAT IT COULD BE REFUTED BY EVIDENCE OF THE ARMENIAN SIDE.
I AM NOBODY'S JUDGE ,BUT NEITHER CAN BE SENTIMENTAL WITH AN ISSUE WITHOUT EVIDENCE.
I WAS BORN ON A SMALL COMMUNITY WITH A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF ARMENIAN REFUGES OF SECOND AND THIRD GENERATION, THAT TO OUR STANDARDS HAVE BECOME EMINENT PEOPLE OF OUR SOCIETY.

Answer 1

Armenian Genocide is 92 years old. During the Armenian Genocide 1.5 million Armenians died, also 300,000 Greeks, and 150,000 Assyrians.

It all started with Sultan Hamid, during 1890's Hamidian massacres 30,000 Armenians were killed, because they were Christians. The issue was boiling the following years. Then the Ottoman Empire lost its 70% or European lands to th Balkans, and thought that they no longer can live peacefully with the Christians. Armenian Genocide was planned ahead of time. When the WW1 started it was an oppurtunity for them. All the Armenians were ordered to give at least one firearm to the government those who had one gave it, and those who didnt have one had to buy one and give it to the government. Then all men were sent to "army" they were given shovels to dig big whole without knowing that was their own grave, they were then killed and buried in the mass graves. The towns and the villages were left with no men, and no weapons. Then the killings started, followed by "deportation" in the Syrian deserts. They were raped, tortured, killed, some starved to death. This was between 1915 to 1920's.

Armenians have 4000 years of history in that region, Anatolia, Eurasia. Armenia was the first country to accept Christianity as a national religion in 301 AD. Armenia was surrounded with Muslim countries like Syria, Iran most of them were muslim at the time. Armenia had many Holy wars.

War is when men on both sides fight, one will win the other will lose. But killing women children and elderly is GENOCIDE.

Some questions you might want to search for the answers...

Why where 250 politicians arrested in the Ottoman parliament, then killed in april 24 1915?
Why did these people just leave their wealth, families, and the ancestral homeland of thousands of years and run to neighboring countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Greece, Georgia?
If it was not a Genocide why weren't they given back the lands after Ottoman Empire collapsed and Ataturk founded modern Turkey.
If it was not a Genocide why were the top politicians prosecuted for the killings of the Armenians.
Talat Pasha was shot in Germany by an Armenian who lost everyone in his family. Sister was raped then killed, brother was tortured then killed, parents were killed. The German court found the guy not guilty and let him go.
Today Orhan Pamuk, Elif Shafak, Taner Akcam, Hrant Dink
and many others that are not known well are being prosecuted, threatened, harassed, and even killed.

REMEMBER It was the government plan and was handled by government officials. Many Armenians were saved by their Turkish friends and relatives. To this day it still is the government that these two groups of people can not live peacefully.

Answer 2

Today about half the world's Armenians live outside Armenia. Armenian communities have emerged in the Middle East, Russia, Poland, Western Europe, India, and North America, where Armenians have gained a reputation for their skill in crafts and in business. Although accurate statistics are not available, the Armenian diaspora is about equally divided between the 1.5 million Armenians in the other republics of the former Soviet Union and a similar number in the rest of the world. The postcommunist Republic of Armenia has officially defined the Armenian nation to include the far-flung diaspora, a policy in accord with the feelings of many diaspora Armenians

Answer 3

Mr. Beemer answered you....Well done my dear friend.

BUT I have a Q for you....?....

Why do you have to judge, Who are you to judge in such serious issue.

I don't think we need a judge here.(I am not being rude or anything, just realistic)

We just need to inform the truth to people who have no knowledge about it.

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE is a fact, soon will be recognized by the whole world.

Now I will give you some links to people who actually lived true Armenian Genocide and were witness.......
My grand ma is a victim of ARMENIAN GENOCIDE so I know it first hand.

Answer 4

I am a British national working with a group investigating the so called but unproven Armenian genocide.
The Armenian genocide is brain child of French/American/English past Goverments for the benefit of splitting Turkey and gaining the support of the countries who has interest in Middle east. Turkey has offered many times to Armenian governments to investigate this by opening their archives to the world. So far Armenia refused.
Books written by first Armenian Prime Minister Ovanes Kacaznuni clearly states that there was no Genocide. And in fact more Turks were killed by Armenians who were egged on By the French and the Italians during the invasion of the eastern Anatolia. You can also read the book Armenian Nationalist movement written by another Armenian A.B. Karinyan who accuses Tasnak Party for the killings off innocent people on both sides. Also try one other book by another Armenian B.A.Boryan and another Armenian A.A.Lalayan who all accuses French and Americans for creating the Armenian genocide not for the benefit of Armenians but benefit of themselves in the hope that with troubled Turkey it will be easier for them to manipulate Middle East. With Petrol reserves in those lands no neighbours of them country should be powerful to fight the west’s interests. If their were another country neighbouring Turkey where Armenia is Today we were going to talk about their genocide. And why there wasn’t any genocide talk during the first and Second World War about the Armenians. Was all the brains dead then or did all the dead send messages years after this was supposed to happen...
