"Immoral wrong of their ignorant denial". Holy shit idiot, there has never been genocide by the turks. And ottoman is OLD TURKEY, its a big difference between new and old turkey, like new germany and old germany. Is all germans nazis? No.

I don't see that happening much, if it happens it's because they are the offspring of survivors of the genocide/s.

No one is accusing today's PEOPLE of "Turk"ey they are accussing the their ancestors actions against those who where killed or starved to death. THat's not what is called accusing, that's what is called factually convicting.

it doesnt make sense if we hated christians we would have killed them in the very begining u beleive we did genocide in 1915 becuase the victims were christians first of all i have yet to see concrete proof we did genocide

You speak in a way which says the Ottoman Empire had acted harshly towards what they hated, and that does make sense becuase that is completely parallel to how THE Ottoman government treated their Christian subjects. Christians in the ottoman empire numbered nearly 40%, so was it possible to hurt the friendly regions which belonged to the Christians whith out force and violence? that would be NO. Even though those regions where not yet subjugated as countries, the land divides where very unfair.

I mean to say down ,,the ottoman empire didn't help anyone, nor feed anyone, they didn't protect them their helpfull neighbours like armenia and greece, which never fully belonged to them. they even attacked people in those states at times even killed. you don't sound settled with what you've said because somewhere deep inside you you know that what happened to the genocided countries really,, factually happened, it's your choice to believe it.

look your so confident the armenians are right but im so confident the armenians are wrong and i have just as much as proof as you do if not more for no armenian genocide

There are many historians and many more genocide survivors for the the genocide from all the genocides, so if you're going to pick your proof to suit your side and only tame teh genocide issue then it's totally a wrong approach.
