When are the regular Turkish citizens going to realize that covering up the Genocide just helps the wealthy and powerful get away with using people for pawns in their chess game of life? QUOTE]

Perhaps when the Armenian diaspora stops:
- drawing flimsy parrallels (i.e. Nazi Germany for sympathy),
- exaggerating facts (i.e. influence of Oil and rail),
- inflating figures (deaths 1.5+ or even 2m+ for 'marketing' impact in foreign parliaments).

You keep talking about Nazi Germany, this shoes the depth of your knowledge of history............anything else you say is tainted.
Do some research before you come back.

FYI, Imperial Germany was in cahoots with the ottoman butchers.

Duhh... read between the lines genius. I'm highlighting the artificial link created by Armenians and the j. Holocaust (committed by the Nazi's) to illicit sympathy. You guys appear to have no problem throwing around this so called Hitler quote like confetti to achieve your political aims but we all know the link is fiction. Ofcourse Nazi's have no connection to the Ottomans, so stop peddling bullsh#t quotes.

fredi, why don't you just...............

So you don't think the German military was involved with the planning of the Genocide? You don't think that they were experienced in the art of Imperialism? The two events weren't all that far apart in the context of history. Except oddly enough the Nazi's were dumb enough to document everything while the conspirators in WWI were smart enough to cover everything up.

Oil and rail... I guess it's not a coincidence that Britain took mandate over Iraq after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire which was known to have massive deposits of oil. But no... oil wasn't an influence.

Inflating figures..... I'll even agree that some of the figures are exaggerated because there is no way to accurately estimate the numbers since the conspirators have done such a great job hiding the facts. There is no way that the Turkish government's ridiculous 400,000 is acceptable.

Regards population figures, it was pretty much standard practice in many places to file lower numbers than actual, to avoid taxes and military service.
Probably the only way to calculate numbers is to take an average family unit size and multiply it by the number of Armenian households. (remembering, of course, the extended family groups).
Would it be realistic to use the number of churches as a guide to population size?

One of the reasons why there was no US Mandate/Protectorate for the RoA was that Britain held Mosul, for it's oil, and the US couls see no tangible benefits for themselves, so they began to cultivate relations with the turcs, hoping to dislodge the British from the oilfield areas of Middle East.
But of course, oil had nothing to do with it.

Of course, when the British troops left the Caucasus, the French volunteered to replace them. Rather than sail to Batumi, they chose to land in Cilicia and were supposed to march inland. Well, we all know what happened then, che?
