Do your own research Mr "Historian", but don't expect me to respect propaganda sites. You can start educating yourself by reading:

Balakian's The Burning Tigris

or Dr, Papazian's remarks here:

Hey I don't have a argument with you personally I just question your motives. Let me quote someone really quickly:

"They told the stories at times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country." (1 - 2)


Oooh ooh wait a minute he was lying.

Oh and wait one second could it be that Dr Papazians lying as well.

And then it comes down to "Do I really care"

Balakian is a literature professor and anti-Turk activist whose historical claims are way out there beyond what even most Armenians would argue.

Methinks you need some more balance in your own view. I've studied both sides and I gotta say nothing has impressed me as much as the hypocrisy with which Turk-haters denounce the Turks in the harshest terms for downplaying the killings of Armenians while promoting their own false version of history in its place.

Is it too much to ask that people consider the TRUTH? and not some propoganda position?
