  1. Now once again the word of “what comes around goes around”
    proved that it was said truly based on experiences.
    All of these highly educated Turks who used to hold academic careers in Turkish universities were still the deniers of the facts of The very Armenian Genocide at some point of their lives and they stood by their governments dirty lies and BS propagandas against Armenians.
    Now that they become the Targets of their government Things must have changed..
    We can’t help not to ask that why that selfish ego exist in the human nature regardless of the education at all…

  2. My great-grandfathers and practically all their relatives and friends, who lived in Kharpert, were among the victims of the First Genocide of the Twentieth Century. They are mentioned in Mr. Kaloosdian’s book.

  3. To Yervant Andre:
    With respect, you are right about the majority of the Turkish bourgeoisie. However, there is a minority of academics, both professors and students, in the Turkish Republic who had begun to devote their careers to acknowledging and exposing the dark history of the Turkish Republic and its predecessor state. In a way, the development was inevitable: the contradictions in methodology between official views of history and documentary evidence are simply too great for a responsible historian to embrace the Turkish state’s historical propaganda. But sadly, it is this enlightened minority who are suffering the most, as Erdogan attempts to move the Turkish state back to a more explicitly fascist organization.

  4. I think Turkey is about to implode. Turks themselves will topple the system. Something similar to what happened in Iran about 40 years ago. Erdogan will turn it into another fanatic Islamic system like the rest of Islamic countries in that region. I believe that’s the best thing that can happen for Armenians. I believe it’s in Armenia’s best interest to see Turkey fall apart and join the ranks of the 3rd world Islamic nations. Currently the world views Turkey as a civilized and moderate Islamic country and a catalyst for change in the Islamic world, that view works against the Armenians and our cause.

  5. Lets be clear: The caption under the picture that says, “Armenian civilians escorted”, “escorted???? Really? It should read “Armenian able bodied men being taken to the outskirts of Kharpert to be MURDERED”.

    The main purpose again by the decision of the mostly Donemeh CUP, which was carried out by average Turks and Kurds, was THEFT of wealth and property. The CUP were simple criminals willing to do what ever to steal. And because of the unified mentality of Turks, were then easily able to install an amnesia state and offer a ‘counter narrative’ This meaning real academia in Turkey is a threat to Turkish national security. As turkey itself was invented off these mass murders and reparation is in order. Further, if you want to know the real actors, do a study of were the money went. It will tell you everything.

    One Armenia, Arstakh and diaspora is the answer.

  6. How amusing it is whenever those desperate Turk denialists proceed to make the claim that Armenian “mass criminals” were engaged in massacring the Turkish “civilians” of Van along with the rest of present-day eastern Turkey (Western Armenia). Well, exactly how did this occur when since the beginning of the creation of the massively criminal Ottoman Turkish Empire, the Armenian inhabitants (as well as the other Christian inhabitants) had been forbidden from owning firearms, and would be subjected to extremely severe penalties if caught?

    What’s even more amusing is when those same desperate Turk denialists proceed to claim that the few Armenians who did manage to get a hold of some firearms and rightfully kill Ottoman Turk soldiers who were exterminating and emptying out the entire Armenian population of Van as well as the other five Western Armenian provinces, had absolutely no right to do this and it was therefore the Turks who were the victims. The Turkish culture is not only a culture comprised of mass criminals, but it’s also a culture comprised of mass denialists.

    • Yerevan, the whole “Armenian rebellion” excuse is ridiculous because
      Armenians are the original inhabitants and Turks are basic invaders & occupiers justifying their rights? 2nd, both Assyrians and Greeks were murdered in the same campaign. Did they rebel? What their excuse for liqidation

  7. When will Countries and Nations that are Christian Start Supporting and helping Armenia stand on its feet both financially, militarily, and as a Country since they say they are Christian.

    People and Countries need to start helping the Country of Armenia stand on its feet so the can be ableft to protect itself from Stupid Sunning Islamic Radix5al Nations such as Turkey.

    Shame on USA and an Stupid country that. supports Turkey.

    Try helping and Support Christian Armenian’s for once since you guys believe in our Armenian religions and read our Armenian invented bibles, and put crosses on your neck like Armenian’s taught you.

    This is the thanks us Armenian’s get from other Christian people and Nation’s.

    In the time of need,pain,war or economic suffering No one helps Armenians.

    But they go around claiming that there Christian but don’t want to come and pay there dues and respect to there inventor and creator Armenia.

    Shame on the world…

    Let’s make Armenia a strong and healthy place…
