NOW, HERE’s WHY THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT DENIES THAT THE TERM “GENOCIDE” APPLIES TO WHAT WAS DONE:

They claim there was NO DELIBERATE ATTEMPT to wipe out the Armenian population, that the move to deport them was a DEFENSIVE position after Armenians sided with Russians in the war, and that as many Turks and other Muslims as Armenian Christians died in the fighting.

Some historians, including western historians, agree, pointing to a recent history of Armenian nationalist and Marxist terrorism against the Ottoman Empire, in which numerous Ottoman officials and even Armenians who sided with the state were killed. They also claim that Russia expelled Turks from areas it conquered - and that many Muslims had also been killed and expelled in the Balkans as the Ottoman empire lost its European possessions like Greece and Bulgaria over the course of the 19th Century.

Asked later how as a doctor he justified his policies, Reshid said: “My Turkish identity won out over my profession. I thought: we must destroy them before they destroy us. If you ask me how I as a doctor could commit murder, my answer is simple: the Armenians had become dangerous microbes in the body of this country. And surely it is a doctor’s duty to kill bacteria?”

Dangerous microbes in the body of this country. Hmm.

Does anyone else remember when the Armenian genocide was a cause pushed by leftists (most Armenian nationalist organizations being Communist at the time) and opposed by American conservatives? And the same conservatives supported the Turks against the Greeks and the Arabs against Israel.

It's heartening to see that things can change, but it would be nice if a little memory of how things used to be were the catalyst to some soul-searching by the Right.

PBS runs a show out here about the Armenian killings about every month. They have yet to do a show on the communists killing 100 million+ people.
