One half of the story is missing, and I find that placing blame on the Turks totally is misleading and WRONG.

THe Greeks and Armenians burned the city, NOT the Turks.

They swore to burn the city if the Turks took it, and they did.

The genoicide etc, I believe has been way overblown, and I think the Greeks, Armenians, etc have just as much blood on their hands. To cry that they are guiltless Lily white virgins is ridiculous in the extreme.

To hate the Turks for a "genocide" and destruction of the city is revisionist history at it's worst.

Learn from it and MOVE on, the hatred that some of you people are spouting is sad to say the least.

It is history, the people, ALL the people, Greek, Armenian, Turkish, etc, that perpetrated all of these, are all safely dead. Now learn from it and move on.

But this continued hatred of one race of people, shows the same attitude that you all seem to despise so much.

I feel bad for you guys, I really do.

It's like when I go south and some southerner calls me a Yankee. Excuse me? I didn't kill anybody in the civil war, I didn't do any atrocities personally. TO blame ME for someone elses actions, who are now ALL dead, is a little insane.

This bloodlust you guys have is shameful.

The Turkish genocide denial is to charge that the Greeks and Amrenians killed themselves off. Kemal took the coty August 30th, 1922--the fire did nt take place until September - after the Greek forces were gone. There was no fighting in the city when the 4,000 year old city was set alight.
