Re: I am,as a Turk,really sorry for the genocide
Too unkind
We Turks are always grateful for those Armenians who helped us.As you said there must be a reason other than pure hatred.
Then you see the reason.Empire did nothing just out of hatred,unlike some Armenians claim.
Empire did not try to externinate Armenians,it was nothing but a disorganized seperation of rebellious Armenians from innocent Turkish women and children(During that period,most of Turks were on millitary service)
There had been many rebellions like that of the Armenians.If she had tried to destroy every nation that had rebelled,there would not have been an empire concept.Nor did she exile every rebel.But the intricate fuss during which Armenian rebellion happened required some quick solution.Exiled Armenians that died during 'tehcir',unfortunately died,not because of the aim of genocide,but because of the disorganized execution of the bill,due to the fuss.
The bill that had Armenians exiled during that period is known as 'Tehcir Kanunu'.I suggest that you look for what 'techir' means.
It seems that you don't speak of a genocide.You are right.What happened there was not also a genocide,as the reaction to the rebellion of Armenians was not a genocide,whether for pure hatred or not
