| #6 end of ww1, you're army was defeated. Your response was to murder anyone in any village you passed through on your retreat. History! deal with it turks, then perhaps we will allow you into the civilised club but not until you get over your denial |

| #3 Its akin to holocaust denial. In fact, they even say THEY were the victims of a genocide; whenever french armenians (no issues about their loyalty or assimilation, they're a very integrated, productive part of the french population) demonstrate about the turkish denial... there is a counter demonstration by turks-living-in-France, holding signs blaming the armenians for the "3 millions turks genocided" (that and desacrating memorials and the occasional bomb threat or physical assault). This is particularly rich given turkey's propension for ethnic cleasing or bona fide genocide, chaldeans, greeks, armenians, kurds (though they are responsible for much of the armenian killing and atrocities),... having reduced the non-muslim minorities, which used to be very important, to practically nothing nowadays. |

| #2 Not siding with anyone - but the Turks are still lying their asses off as a matter of LAW in denying the genocide they comitted. You can go to jail in Turkey if you teach about thier genocidal putsches against the Armenians. Its akin to holocaust denial. So for that, I side against the turks. |
