  • I think the case of this thread, that wholesale destruction of Armenian cultural monuments has taken place over the years, has already been settled. There is nothing left to debate here, and all that's left is constant bickering and childish behavior. I don't think anyone is going to tolerate denial or justification any further.

    • I think we're done here.

      • I agree. Enough name calling!

          I may not hate Turks to the degree of Hellektor and perhaps Turks on this forum may be insulted by his stance but let us remind you that you joined an Armenian Genocide forum. What did you expect? This is not a neutral place. If you don't like what is said, you can leave.
          I know this and won't leave as long as insults are continuing.

          • Conclusion:

            Turks began to make agriculture in the times of Seljuks Empire. Therefore we can certainly say that Turks passed over the Agricultural Revolution. Of course there were some Turk populations to mantain the nomadic way of life in those times, that is passing to established life was not in the whole. While Turks were entering to Anatolia, Armenians had already had the established (agricultural) life style. The Turks entering the Anatolia were generally nomadic ones. Those ones began to settle down especially after the conquest of Istanbul but there were still remaining of nomadics on the mountains of Anatolia. But this doesn’t show that the way of life of Turks were still nomadic and primitive.

            The conquest of Istanbul did not only provide the established life to Turks. After the conquest, Turks started to learn The Culture of Byzantine (East Rome). That is why, the Ottoman Empire has been accepted by many historians as Inheritor of the culture. Ottomans inherited the music, architecture etc. of Byzantine Culture. For architecture, the Ayasofia Church was a prototype. If one looks at Ayasofia Church and then Mosques of Istanbul, it will be easly understood of how this Church affected the Ottoman architecture. So Armenian Architects, such as Mimar Sinan, didn’t teach the architecturel techniques to Turks. They also learned it from Byzantine Culture. But they had their own architecturel style in building the Chuches.

            Today’s Turkey is more developed then its Islamic neighbours. This is supplied by Ataturk’s Revolutionary Reforms. We generally succeded not to be affected from the impediments of Islam after 1923.

            • How does that justify, or even relate to, the destruction of artifacts? We're not really interested in a pedantic lesson on sociology, and neither are we concerned with specific terms as much as we are concerned with the observed difference in past and present and the Turkish actions that caused it.

              I may point out to you that many times the damage done to these artifacts is evidence of bulletholes, specific defacing of Armenian decals, and "restoration" to give a Turkish flair. This is not including using churchs as garbage dumps and Turkified institutions. Earthquakes don't cause those types of damage, now do they?

                Again, cosmos2, enlighten us as to how what you said relates to the destruction of these cultural monuments.

                That's "bullxxxx", not "bullxxxxs".

                    • I don't recall insulting you. I gave you the definition of a word you do not understand, and now I'm asking you to prove that what you said relates, in any way, to the destruction of Armenian atrifacts.
