Turkey Up in Arms Over House Resolution Against Armenian ‘Genocide'
in response to reader comment: So called Armenian Genocide

Submitted by Savas Blix Sun, Feb 22, 2007 05:48

Mr. Mark Takman is absolutly right. I have been reading alot about the so called "genocide" and I can not find any good evidence to call it a genocide. There were alot of killings and victims on both sides, surely not a masskiling in the same way it happened in germany 1933-45. I have many armenian friends in turkey and they do not in any way agree with their fellow diaspora armenians, who through their fanatical views try to convince the world about their historical past. Afterall, we should not forget that MANY innocent diplomats and victims where murdered by armenian terrorists in the 1970-80s on European and American soil. Can anyone defend these actions for the armenian cause? It seems so me that these politicians in USA, accept such killings on their own soil, by passing this resolution. I also find it silly, that some people are so obsessed with this incident. How long do we need to go back in history? 200, 300 or 500years? Was the killing of the north-american Indians genocide? The killing of people in Stalinist era, the crusader wars in the middle ages?

I hope some people will come to reason.

Thank you.
