As far as I can understand, the academical studies, scientific evaluation methods and historical state archives have no value for some. The important thing for them is to run the propaganda machine in every environment and try to create a perception by repeating the same lies and slanders constantly.
It's just a pathetic endeavor.
If there were such a crime in Turkish history, do you think that the crime committed by the state, -which was biggest defeated in a war- , could not be proven for 100 years? All archives and state institutions in whole country were seized by the occupying countries. Don't be so naive. Why is the Armenian diaspora avoiding legal confrontation? Despite such great political support...
It cannot be proven, because there is no crime mentioned. What's left? To pressure politically and to avoid academic and legal bases as much as possible. AND To forbid people who do not share your opinion from expressing it. (Countries like France and Switzerland have taken this route, but they lost the case at the ECHR. Look at the shameful situation that Switzerland fell in the Perinçek case.)
Bernard Lewis is arguably the greatest westernian middle east expert historian of the last century. The books he wrote are used as textbooks at almost all universities. He is one of the historians who conducted the most detailed research on the subject in Ottoman, French and Russian archives. His opinion on the subject is clear.
Don't you believe him? So, read the books of Levon Panos Dabagyan, one of the greatest Armenian historians who personally researched the archives, and he will tell you about the provocation of the Russians and the French. He says exactly this: Turks have never committed genocide against Armenians.
Find out what Dashnak and Hinchak are and how they massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Anatolian villages. While the Ottomans were at war, when there was not a single man in the villages: learn how children, women and old people were exterminated by crimes of humanity.
Learn how all important Armenian opinion leaders, especially the governor of Van, who opposed this civil war, were massacred by Armenian gangs.
What is meant to be sold to you as the Armenian genocide is the totality of the measures taken by the Ottomans against those who act with the same logic as the Greek, Serbian and Bulgarian revolts and preventing them who the dream of establishing the Great Hayastan.
- When the men of the families are on the front, you will attack those families when there are no men in the family.
- You will want to destroy the Turkish and Kurdish population of Eastern Anatolia so that no one but yourself can live in the dream of Great Hayastan (which is real genocide).
- Then, you will call the measures taken by the state as "genocide"! Come on!
The implementation of the measures taken was announced in 15 articles. Officials who act contrary to these articles were also punished. Educate yourself on the issues you comment on.
Even Justin McCarthy had to acknowledge this. Read this book.
So What actually happened:
Turkish Victims by Armanenian Tashnak and Hınchak (Russian and French Backed) gangs:
My family's whole village had to live as refugees in Samsun for 4 years. When they came back they saw that everything was destroyed and plundered. My family's houses was burned down by gangs.
Not only did millions of men die at the front, but our women and children died due to the Armenian Turkish massacres. We were able to fight for the war of independence later, with the help of our Asian, Uzbek Turk and Pakistani/Indian Muslim brothers.
We lost our population, wealth and our people. The deported Armenians, on the other hand, managed to survive to a great extent. Those who claim to the contrary are delusional people who could not suppress their Turkish phobia and still imagine that Anatolia could be divided.
I am part of this painful story.
I can share you the opinions of dozens of academicians (those who work directly in the archives) on the subject one by one. I can discuss these issues under a separate heading with anyone. I can share dozens of academic publications and books on the subject with anyone. Instead of looking at the internet for half an hour to defend the views you were being deceived, you can ask me for more.
But like the first words I said. Some People's aim is not to seek the right. The purpose is different.
