Dink is sending a message to that Historian(s). That historian(s) know themselves very well. He doesnt want to contfront in public and be divisive among Armenians. He critisizes their way of approaching history.
Other than that he is not afraid or something.
Anyways, I think today I am little bit busy too, sorry about it. I just dont wanna copy and paste it.

Thanks, I appreciate it 
With whom ?
Don't you think that when someone have the guts to say 1915 was a "Genocide" while he is IN TURKEY, would be bold enough to face any confrontation ?
When he don't mind confronting the Turkish authorities for saying what he believes in , do you think that he will mind confronting some American Armenian Historian ?
I don't know, I'm not convinced ... You know why ? Because there are only a handful of American Armenian Historians, names can be easily counted ... unlike what most people think they are really few... I for one, have read works of almost all of them concerning the number of victims of the Armenian Genocide... trust me, the most notable of them DO NOT give a 100% sure number, of all what I read they use the term (estemate) and the numbers they estemate varies from 1.2 - 1.5 million.
And ALL OF THEM KNOW the fact that "as far as the International Law concerned, the number of victims DO NOT decide whether it was a Genocide or not." ... That's why I found what Dink said "Strange" !!
Because when a Historian publically in his work make it clear that he know that number of victims won't affect the fact of Genocide, there is no way that he will "privately" state that "we know the number is less but we stick to the 1.5 million thesis" or something like that !
