Just unbelievable...
the deportations took place before this period btw... and no one .. not even your Armenian buddies accuses kazim karabekir of deporting anyone... armenians taht left .. left of their own accord... just like turks in the balkans left after the 1880s
get this in your head:
that land was owned and held and in the ottoman empire and the republic of turkey .. thats how it was "taken back"
noone cares for petty and prehistoric claims to ownership based on ancient kingdoms.. you want to challenge it.. then why doesnt Armenia attack turkey...
stop talking about that.. its out of the realm of historical or geopolitical debate
the majority there were turks
even in big armenian centers like arapkir.. majority was still turks.. at most it was 40-50 in turkish favor.. i shud know.. im from arapkir

not true.. there were no deportations under abdulhamid II... the so called killings were merely security reactions to armenian nationalist movements.. people didnt run around killing armenians.. but armenians with sympathies to the armenian nationalist movement were arrested and in most cases killed? why you ask? ottoman empire was an empire.. they disliked all rebels.. turk or armenian
and so what?????!!?!
kazim karabekir had his campaign in 1920s.. no one accuses him of anything... and yes.. there were many armenians that stayed until the 50s 0r 60s.. they left because they were rich and could afford to .. who the hell wants to stay in their ancestorial homeland when there is no economic or real reason to.. turks would have left it they could.. and armenians also left in the 20s to go to armenia.. since gues what?! that was their state.. like how xxxs moved to israel
and so what?????!!?!

IT WAS OTTOMAN/TURKISH LAND.. but ARMENIANS LIVED IN IT... BECAUSE ARMENIANS RULED THAT LAND THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO IN PRE ROMAN TIMES DOES NOT MEAN THEY CAN SAY ITS OUR LAND... ITS BEEN RULED AND CONTROLLED AND OWNED BY OTTOMANS/TURKS FOR THE ENTIRETY OF MODERN HISTORY
If Armenians were really attached to those lands that much then they would of course get back to their lands when their property was offered to them. Pretty much all of the Turks are not aware of the fact that Turks issued a government order to call back for those Armenians to get back to their homes, where their property would be returned to them even if they were occupied by Kurds or Turks, all in the expense of the Turkish government. And, no one denies that those lands used to be historically Armenian. Stop making stupid and baseless claims.
I would expect any people that have been driven out of their homes to return back to their homes at any given chance if the attachment is as strong as you make it to be. Also, your analogy is rather invalid as xxxs do not have such an attachment to Germany but they did develop that attachment to the Levant which they in fact did go back at a high cost. I also explicitly told you that the expenses would be met by the government where the properties of Armenians would be returned to them regardless of who uses those properties or if they were razed a compensation would be due. This is the point where you acknowledge that you were in fact wrong. But why start now when you never managed to do that?
