first off, why did you put the Indian Genocide in quotation marks but not the so called "armenian genocide"? The American Native Genocide was the most barbaric genocide of the History, but it`s not recognized by any country. As for giving them back a fraction of lands the Europeans stole, that`s a huge lie. I see no independent American Native country.
As for the wide recognition of the so alled armenian genocide in the west, do you think those f***ed up politicions who have recognized it even know where armenia is, let alone what happened in the ww1 or how many Turkish civilians the armenian terrorists murdered?
I love your rationale though, I bet you still believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction as well. wasn`t it recognized to be true by the west?
as for the holocoust, your argument doesn`t make any sense, because the holocaust was proven in the Nurnberg trials. Is there such a court decision about the so called armenian genocide? if armenians were so confident about their genocide fantasies they would at least sue Turkey at the Hague court. They can`t do that because there is no way they can prove this fabricated genocide at a court whereas there are tons of documents refuting it.
I don´t think your going to find to many people in my country who will DENY what happend to the Native Americans. Many of these tribes have tried to form an independant country, however without the backing of our imports and exports it has failed. I´m not even going to debate with you on what "genocide" was more barbaric...that´s just a ridiculous statement. All genocides are a crime of humanity and to what degree is human life more sacred than others is not for me to try to determine.
People want to forget about the Armenian Genocide....but there is no statue of limitations on a genocide. Do we forget about the Jews? It appears the old Ottoman empire committed these crimes, therefore Turkey has become an accomplence by it´s big campaign of denial. I don´t view it as historical truth but rather an issure of morality and acceptance of truth. By not resolving this....may have led to another misguided leader Hitler...who himself referred to what happen to the Armenians as a Genocide. What happened after World War I, could have also been a display of behavior from past history which resulted of thousands of Jews being slaughtered. Why is that historians don´t leave Hitler and the Holocaust alone? Also, if want to blame anyone for all the lives lost in World War I you can blame your own government for leading you into this war.
There has been court decisions and admissions years ago, in fact Prime Minister Damat Ferid Pasha placed the blame on the young turks. Even an interview Ataturk back in 1926 stated the Young Turks should be made to account for the lives of millions of our Christian subjects who were ruthlessly driven en mass from their homes and massacred. The United Nations Covention as well as the international community recognize it. You ask why bring it up now after all these years...well let´s see things have a way of repeating themselves and unless we acknowledge and condemn this we are once again turning a blind eye.
What´s even more bothersome is the Turkish archives aren´t even open to the public. They are only open to Turkish Scholars...which makes me believe they have alot to hide.. Oh and by the way if you believe in anyone´s judicial system fully, then you are really fullish yourself.
