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.

Your mind is obviously made up, that's fine, believe your revisionist history, but I have read in many places that the citizens of the city, THEMSELVES burned it in order that the Turks would not get the city and it's supplies intact.
It would have been the ultimate in stupidity for the Turks to burn the city, and that is one thing that the Turks were not, STUPID.
And I never said that the Greeks and Armenians killed themselves off, I said that there is more then enough blame to go around.
Again, to claim that the Greeks and Armenians are lily white virgins in this whole mess, would be self delusional and revisionist.
2 and 3 can play the blame game, now quit playing it, LEARN from it and move on.
