No Hitite I was just pointing out numeourus lies that was told th Turkish people and the edge of the "needed" lies touch the AG,so if one minimizes this lie and that lie it opens the door to more lies.
Today Turkey has qualities of a multinational soceity that cannot be denied and its admirable (given the great genepool)in terms of sane people you are in the majority (you two)most of my rage is against that 7-8 percent and your goverment for external political reasons that go back to 19th century try to appease them.Us Armenians were once accused of seeing special treatment back then so they eliminated us but it seems like the accusers took their place and I'm not too sure of their alliances.Who does it benefit keeping Armenians and Turks enemys?
Why hasnt this issue been solved for 91 years?

The issue has not be solved because we did not adress the issue. I dont blame Turkey much about this, being a young republic and being weak both in terms of intellectual level and militarily, Turkey probably saw no reason to deal with the problem as the affects of the problem were minor to Turkey. Not to mention the world was much different back then. People did not give a damn about other nations. The Diaspora Armenians being driven from their homes, naturally became bitter and formed lobbies in order to keep their identity and to keep away from assimilation. In their anger and fury though powerless practically, they were able to form a nation under exile which would be effective in future. Turkey, not being very far-sighted at those times could not forsee this new vawe of democratic power. Meanwhile, Turkey was trying to convert its old people of old times to new people of new times. Fighting communism, fighting capitalism, fighting extereme nationalism and figthing seperatism, fighting fundemantalism and praising religion Turkey was at least to say confused about how to deal with population it had. The clash of ideologies and economic politics were harsh sometimes even bloody. That left many darkprints in history of republic itself, but that is another issue. Simply to say Turkey had too much in hand and no solid reason to deal with Armenian issue. Forth came Asala then, taking out our diplomats, to make its sound to the world, though a terrorist organization it reached its aim, world once again began to discuss Armenian issue. But Turkey was nowhere near ready, extreme nationalism was at its peak and the only issue they had an agreement with left-winged people was that Armenian issue was a grand-play to sabotate Turkey for the benefit of Imperialist powers. You know the issues of military intervention so I wont go into detail. Simply once again Turkey has chosen not to hear the claims of Armenians, not that people had come to a level to debate or argue about this. After Asala Armenian's popularity in Turkey decreased to such level, it was used as an insult in fights, when a grandma got angry with her grandson, you could hear shouting "Ermeni, Yezidi". Anyway as Turkey got more democratic, and Diaspora Armenians got stronger to influence other state's parliaments Turkey slowly realized that it wil have to deal with the issue for the sake of show to the rest of the world if not the issue itself. Therefore in the wake of EU membership talks Turkey is acting as if it is trying to argue about this.
