  1. When are these folks going to devise and implement a plan for land reparations and monetary restitution for our long lost family assets that were stolen from our forefathers by the descendants of unrepentant Turkey? When are these lawyers going to put the indisputable facts of the Armenian Genocide behind them and start talking about what really matters: our rights to our land and assets. Wheres’ the plan? What’s the timeline? Who’s leading the effort? For how much longer will our community remain sound asleep re-acknowledging the Armenian Genocide?

  2. Indisputable facts?  Then how come they are being disputed so successfully?  How come there is no shred of evidence for this indisputable fact?  How come then this myth requires so much legal and constitutional protection?

  3. Uh Mark,

    You seem to only see one aspect of things (albiet incorrect). What you really should be asking are the realistic questions: “When are these folks going to devise and implement a plan for Armenians to come clean in front of the UN, with their addmitance that they perpetrated a century-old con job upon the Christian nations of the world?”. This should then be followed up by “When are these lawyers and dashnak hard-liners going to put the bogus claims of an alleged Armenian genocide behind them and start talking about what really matters: The establishment and advancement of relations between Armenian and Turkey and Azerbaijan, with the withdrawl of all Armenian troops from NK, leading to further positive recognition by all nations, as well as all Moslem nations, with the resultant economic agreements to follow (which will surely improve Armenia’s desperate economic situation)?”. “Where’s the plan?”. What’s the timeline?”. “Who’s leading the effort?”. “For how much longer will our community remain sound asleep in acknowledging that what we did as Armenians was wrong, and that we must now drop this selfishness and child-like whinning and share the forward-looking vision of President Sarkissian and do what is right and best for Armenia?”! Do you get it now?!!

  4. Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnot poem by Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
    This is very famous poem for pope.
    I need expert analysis of this line.

    ‘Bear, like the Turk, no brother near throne.’

    Did Pope mean that, the Turkish sultan’s use to kill their other sons leaving only the elderly alive to stay on the throne!
    Is there such story in Armenian History  ‘killing the sons’!

  5. Where are the facts murat? where are the armenians that have lived in anatolia for the last 3000 years? either murdered or in the diaspora.  My family was murdered and converted to islam that is a fact.  your ignorance and your inability to be open to the truth is for me incomprehensible.

  6. Sylva,

    No, he does not mean sons, they are needed to carry on the dynasty.  He says “brothers”.  Yes it was made legal around 15th century to take the life of your siblings for the sake of stability of the state.  A civil war that broke out among the Sultan’s sons after the death of Sultan Beyazit in the hands of Mongols, almost brought an end to the young Ottoman Empire and this was a solution.  Leter they were kept under house arrest or under close guard.  Being royalty was not always a blessing.

    Arek,

    When I say no evidence what I mean is there was no official or unofficial Ottoman policy of physical extermination, no such decisions, records or evidence, no such orders, no concentration camps, no gas chambers, no mass graves, no 1.5M Armenians dead or alive,  but millions of descendants all around today. 

    There are very few Armenians today in Turkey, because they were ethnically cleansed from Eastern Turkey, and where they were forcibly moved at the time is not within Turkey’s border’s today.  As you know, having lost their very bloody war against the Ottomans many escaped back to Russia with the withdrawing Russian armies, their nominal ally, and many also immigrated after the War of Independence, as life was already hard there even without being Armenian.  As you also know some stayed and mixed with the Muslim population, and yes, many also died of famine, disease and plain murder in the hands of brigands, Kurds or vengeful civilians. 

    As Ottoman empire collapsed and nationalism spread, millions of Muslims (both my grand parents famililes) were ethnically cleansed from their ancestoral homes throughout Caucuses, Crimea, Balkans, Middle East and Aegean and poured into Turkey, and similarly, millions of non-Muslims poured out.  In some cases this was orchestrated by home states in the form of population exchanges.  That was the cost of having a nation-state.  Ottomans did not invent it, they were the victim of it.

  7. Murat and Robert represent your typical misinformed Turks that the majority of Armenians feel sorry for when they open their mouths. Taking pride and much effort in espousing their backwards revisionist propaganda to anyone that can stand their hate filled rhetoric at the expense of their time and every one elses patience, we entertain them. They are convinced that by monitoring this website day in and day out they will prove something to the world. At the end of the day however, what they repeatedly prove to the world is that ignorance has no limits.

  8. Hye Sevag, abrees.  We know the Turks’ stances, their leaderships over the years, their convoluted education of their students about Turks’ own history, and their treatments of their own  enlightened
    citizens  – which says it all.  Turkey is all glitter on the outside, decayed and decaying from within…
    In their desparations the leaders jump from one PLOY to another Ploy, bullying,  allied with ‘allies’/just as quickly “disallied” with ‘allies’ – over and over.  And, the need for the Turk leaders to teach their citizens to hate Armenians – as though the Armenians had committed a genocide against the Turk!
    It was the Armenians who were the victims for generations of the Turkish tyranny – into the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian nation 1918-1923!  But strangely, the Turks’ need to continue to pursue their policiy of ‘eliminating’ Armenians… 1890s into today 2010… still in ancient Ottoman bullying mentality.
    As the world watches – asking… WHY?
    Manooshag

  9. This is great. To hear  the truth about a great cause, as the Arm. Genocide, gives us some hope that after all, justice can, one day prevail.

    As a direct result of this horrible act ( Genocide) 1.5 million perished. There is another way of  destruction. Today there are thousands of kurds & arabs in Syria, of Armenian origin.  They are the descendents of boys lost during the deportations of 1915. They even have their own tribe: The  Armenian Moslem tribe! I found about this last may. I have already raised a special report about this issue to poliotical & religeous authorities. These people,  lead a marginal life. They remember their fotefathers’ epics! Actually they endure eternal martyerdom, from generation to generation.  These people deserve much attention!

  10. Murat, stop blaming this and that peoples for the wholesale murder of Armenians in 1915. Your elementary and mediocre reasoning blaming anything and everything on th Kurds is absurd, to say the least. It was the Turkish government that devised and implemented the Armenian Genocide, period. And no matter how much false information you feed your Western friends, bear in mind that they have no love for your Genocidal tendencies, all they are interested is OIL my friend.
    Ferhat
