Do you recognize the "Armenian" Genocide by the Ottoman Empire in 1915?

[AngelOfLight258]

1.5 Armenians

I put "Armenian" in quotes because they weren't the only victims.

900,00 Pontic Greeks

750,000 Assyrians

400,000 Yazidis

100,000 Lebanese

Insofar as "Assyria" hasn't existed for almost 3,000 years, the Turks couldn't've killed them without a time machine, and Yazidis are a RELIGION, not a nationality or an ethnicity, so there could be a lot of overlap there. My main question, however, is how do you kill half an Armenian?

[AngelOfLight258]

The Assyrian people didn't have a state for 2,600 years but we're still here ;)

[NamerOfStars]

Not unless you're immortal, no- you may *descendants* of the Assyrians, but you'd gone through several other nations in the meantime. I mean, you wouldn't call them all Africans, would you?

[Sandeeppingping]

Turkey is guilty obviously, I'm half Lebanese too and I know many Armenians in Lebanon there is a reason why we have over a million Armenians here, but the game's the game, it ain't right but in times of war I understand turkey doing it

[LazerBean]

I'm not going to claim to know a lot about it, but the way you say it kinda sounds like calling the Holocaust the "Jewish" genocide because Jews weren't the only victims.

[AngelOfLight258]

Fair enough. But I wasn't trying to downplay the horror suffered by Armenians in any way. I guess that kind of came out wrong.

[JamesDiaz11]

I recognize it, but I don't care about it. Every nation is responsible for some level of genocide, unless you think we all had this exact land, and nobody else ever lived here.

This is what human tribes do: we grow, fight others, and eventually push them out, kill them (genocide), or breed them out until we're the sole possessors of the land.

[Berethor]

Yea, also turkey is going back to it ottoman and islamic roots anyway.

Armenians rebelled and tried to ethnic cleanse Turks off anatolia by getting imperialist support on their back and Turks as expected rightfully deported them out.

What do you expect actually? Should we give flowers to blood thirsty armenians with guns on their hands.

Only genocide here was the one that armenians commited against Turks in the first place. There was no genocide commited by Turks but I wish we did that so we won't have to deal with your baseless lies today.

[Nintendo-64]

You are a disgusting nation by the way

[jshm2]

Nope.

As despite all the assertion, not a shred of conclusive evidence has been presented to any court to prove it happened.

In fact it wasn't until Churchill invented "The Blue Book," to effectively ban the Ottoman Empire from The Allies side of the war, that anyone (even Armenians) even spoke of it.

Most evidence points to it being a hoax invented by the British to stain the Ottoman Empire to justify it's cutting up.

[Agagagagaga]

Interesting because I feel that way about some other holocausts that allegedly occurred throughout history.

😉

[Phoenix98]

I do it was perpetrated by a group known as the young Turks. And while Armenians were not the only victims they were the most numerous hence the name.

but yeah I recognize it, it was the first genocide of the twentieth century.

[RolandCuthbert]

I don't know much about it. This site is run by Turkish owners. So I think they look upon this incident in a different light.

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

A country like turkey that fails to see it as a genocide is evil. muslims never fail to amaze me.

[AngryCarl]

Of course, but what are you going to do? Those people are dead now.

[Nintendo-64]

What are they going to do?
Well , they will demand land (whole eastern Turkey ) plus billions of dollars from Turkey as consempation.
Armenia is one irredentist and expansionist nation. Not a small innocent nation trying to survive as how they sell their propaganda to left wingers all around the world out there.
Even to this day they refer eastern turkey as western armenia. Those people dying inside to take Turkish lands and ethnically cleanse Turks off the planet.
Armenians are no innocent nation when it comes to genocide.
Armenian rebels during late ottoman era had commited many crimes against civillians of turkish descent back in the day. I am talking about real ethnic cleansing here.
Even where modern day armenia located today used to be turkish majority 100 years ago. Search for khanate of yerevan...
Turks there was ethnically cleansed in order to build a pure homogeneous armenian state.

Modern day armenian genocide claims are nothing but history revisionism serving their expansionist, irredentists, anti turkist, ethnic cleansing agenda.
Straw man fallacy here ...

A better question would be, “Do I care?”

Nope. 🤷‍♂️

[QuietRunner]

I believe the Ottoman's are guilty and not Turkey

[OddBeMe]

Yeah, genocide. Dont listen to Turkey’s excuses.
