Re: Armenian Race and Cultural Background

Common idea: Turks are evil and can't be dealt with.

Currently, the intermarriage rate of Armenians living in Turkey is over 40%. I guarantee you their decendents will not identify themselves as Armenian.

Just a point. Our predocessors were much more racist than we are trained to be today. When that hoard of barbarians rode in, our ancestors did not view them as anything other than non-human daemons for hell. I don't see why I should be disrespectful to our ancestors and consider the offspring of that as something acceptable. No matter if they had absorbed local genes, all those people get assimilated and become turks if not genetically then certainly memetically.

what are you talking about? How racist can you be? Disrespectful to our ancestors? Turks are not bad people but people who spew hate and then other people follow your example. Your logic is awful.

First That is history what happened 100 years ago and although our history is very important and we were treated unfairly you don't hate people of this generation who are Turkish. They are not Responible. Just as Germans in this generation are not responsible for the massacre of the xxxs.

Armen, the difference between the contemporary generation of Turks and Germans is that the German government has recognised the Holocaust.

^Շիտակ, բայց կան թիւ մը թուրքեր որ կը նկատեն Հայ Ցեղասպանութիւնը, ուրեմն Արմէնը ամբողջութեամ սխալ չէ:

True, but there is a number of Turks that recognize the Armenian Genocide, so Armen isn't completely wrong...

Re: Armenian Race and Cultural Background

Armen is either a Bolsahye that has been brainwashed in Turkey or a Turk acting as an Armenian. They want us to succum to the Turkish governements propaganda. Turks want the Armenian issue to disappear so they don't have legal recourse against them. Some stupid Bolsahye's don't see what they are doing and want to mend fences. Armen, if you had relatives that were raped and murdered by Turks, you would not be as ignorant as you are.

What would you do if you had relatives that were raped and murdered by xxs.

The same as any murder victims family would. You would be vigelent in order to hold the perpetrators of the crimes accountable. I wouldn't send them christmas cards and hope they would one day confess to their crimes. Acknowledging the genocide is not even a consideration in Turkey. Under article 301, you could be jailed for just bringing it up. Since Turkey is unbending their approach, Armenians must put as much pressure on foreign countries to accept the genocide as an historical fact in order to legally force Turkeys stance.

Հա, ես լսած եմ որ Թուրքիան մարդ մը մեռցուց միայն որովհետեւ ան Հայոց Ցեղասպանութեան մասին գիրք կը գրէր: Եւ ես կը համաձայնիմ որ մենք պէտք է թուրքերուն ցուցնենք որ մենք շատ վճռակամութիւն ունինք ստուքելու որ ցեղասպանութիւնը գոյութիւն ունի, բայց ես կը յուսամ որ ասի պէտք չունինք ընել ատելութեամբ:

Ya, I've heard that Turkey killed someone just because he wrote a book about the Armenian Genocide. And I agree that we need to show the Turks that we have a lot of determination to prove the genocide exists, but I hope that we don't need to do this with hatred.
