Will Armenians always hold a hatred towards the Turks?

Re: Will Armenians always hold a hatred towards the Turks?

Yes, but it is up to Turks and Turkey to bring such a thing into existence.

How? If you mean it will have to wait until Turkey officially recognises the genocide then you will have a long wait. It might take decades, it might take centuries - then again it might never even happen.

Is this what your waiting for? I mean there are individual Turks that do recognise the Armenian genocide. They maybe small in number but they are growing. As Anonymouse was saying it is hard for Turks to voice their opinions and views a sensitive issue such as this one. What makes it even harder is the official position of the Turkish government. After it lied to the nation for 90 years how do you expect it to suddenly turn around and admit to the genocide just like that? I have the feeling that the Turkish government is going to let the people decide (as well as the government itself starting to "look more deeply" into the issue).

Yes, on a national scale I cannot see how friendship between Armenia and Turkey (and Armenians and Turks) is possible without closure in terms of the genocide and it's recognition.
That said, I don't see why an Armenian and a Turk cannot be friends provided they are both on the same level of thinking in terms of what happened in 1915.
Personally I have nothing but respect and admiration for people like Taner Akcam, and him being a Turk has no negative impact on my opinion, in fact his opinions and views combined with the fact that he is in fact Turkish form the basis of my feelings. And that is the key. The hope for any form of positive interaction, or whatever you wish to call it, between us, lies with the Turkish people, not the Turkish government. Armenians share an equal responsibility. Will we be willing to forgive and move on eventually? What will happen if and when Turkey accepts it's past?
Ultimately it's up to the younger generations on both sides and I believe, sadly, the youth on both sides are being brought up with too much hate.

Can any Armenians understand why genocide recognition amongst the Turkish population is going to be a VERY slow process?

Wowzers.

Re: Will Armenians always hold a hatred towards the Turks?

I think Armenians will not dislike Turks as much if the genocide is recognized. There is still the issue of hurting generations of Armenians after the genocide with denial. We are suffering still.

And remember, we are the victims... not you. So we can change our attitude and like of Turks whenever we are ready.

Re: Will Armenians always hold a hatred towards the Turks?

Well considering I am a barska-hye (from Iran), I'm not really a victim of anything. My only hatered (or dislike) is towards those that act like idiots and repeat everything they have heard from their government and other idiots like them without thinking a bit or reading something other than what is force fed to them.
