The professor is claiming then that those genocidal Armenians, outnumbered 6:1 by Turks, succeeded in killing almost twice as many Turks as the Turks killed Armenians?

The Armenian holocaust occurred in the midst of a typical war in the region, this time between Russia and Turkey. Your "historian" is essentially making the ludicrous claim that the Armenians, not the Russian army, were the killers of the Turks in the area. Apparently, the Russians were some sort of innocent bystanders in all this Armenian murder of local Turks.

Dismissing the professor's silly notions, it remains the position of credible scholarship throughout the world and the position of the EU and America and Russia and Israel that, during the war period, the Turks massacred hundreds of thousands of Armenians in cold blood. And huge numbers of the murdered were women and children.

You may want to re-read the post a little bit more slowly.

How many unarmed people can you kill with one pistol or rifle? Your unarmed and innocent Armenians:

Second Company of the Armenian Voluntary Hinchak Regiment "Yerissart Hayastan" (Young Armenia) 20th July 1915.

Men and the Commanders of the first peloton of the 8th Company of the Armenian Hinchak Regiment and the staff of the Red Cross Society.

A few of the Arms seized in the Central Sandjak of Sivas, also gendarmary uniforms, made specially by Armenians, together with military trumpets and bombs.

Arms taken from the Armenians of Amasya.

Prohibited arms confiscated from the Armenians at the Sandjak of Marash.
