Bush Says 'Tragedy' not 'Genocide' for 1915 Events

Many Muslims also believe the Holocaust was "wildly exaggerated." Are you a Muslim, by any chance?

Is that a pathetic attempt to smear me? Grow up.

People who deny the Armenian Genocide, who were never there themselves of course and ignore the witnesses and survivors who were, are really a waste of time.

See #67.

"Wrong assumptions were also adopted by journalists of "Haaretz" in connection to the whole polemics. These are mainly two issues: a) that the massacres of the Armenians in 1915 and the extermination of the Jews of Europe are basically events of the same kind; b) any critical discourse of the Armenian massacres is similar to Neo-Nazi denial of the Shoah. "Anybody who has a minimum concept of the historical evidence will admit that these analogies have no validity. -- Bernard Lewis

But of course you have no interest in critical discourse. You just want to condemn Turks and hate hate hate.

[Fair Go]

Note no mention has been made of Armenian terrorist attacks on the Turks during the 1970s and 1980s. During this period they assassinated approximately 50 Turkish diplomatic staff and injured others. There are some blatantly racist web sites and at least one operates out of this country. The matter will not go unnoticed.
