  • Ottoman Armenians in the Collapse PEriod of the Empire...

    By 1789 and the advent of capitalism, while "nation-states" were being formed in Europe (for example Germany (1815-1871) and Italy (1861)), the multi-national and multi-ethnic Ottoman Empire could not be expected to resist the current too long. What minority in the Empire could be blamed for attempting their own nation-state? Certainly, Albanians-Romans-Serbians-Greek and Bulgarians opted for this approach. Although they were basically incited and provoked by the Western European overlords, still, all these nation-states of today decided their destiny by themselves.

    IT is very easy to make the above reasoning, TODAY, in 2005. Could the ,OTtoman Empire and her rulers of 19th century be expected to approach the same way? And, WHY????

    Do you all suppose that the OTtoman Empire should simply have handed out a good portion of Anatolia to Armenians? Are you all out of your minds?

    QUESTION: If the affairs of 1800-1919 that transpired upon Ottoman happened to the France, Germany, ITalu or England of those days, what would they have done??? What was colonizing Europe doing in her colonies at the time? How were they treating rebels in their colonies?

    Also, remember, the land that Armenians tried to grab was no colony, it belonged to Turks for the past 900 years...

    It's okay, that land will become Kurdistan soon enough.

        He is right about the Kurds though. What will you do with them? They have already started taking over your cities in the west. 20 million is a large number to "deport".

          turk,
          That land didn't belong to you in the first place. Then you should have and now you should go back to where you came from. You are on land that does not belong to you.

            There was no such nation as Turkey until the beginning of the 20th century.The people that were recognising themselves as Muslims suddenly turned to ''Turks''.
            The muslims were speaking Osmanli language,not ''Turkish''.That is why it is so hard for the modern day ''Turks'' to locate their ''Turkish'' roots in their family tree.Moreover the Turkish Republic is an artificial nation and nothing can belong to the ''Turks'' ,not even Central Asia,because there was never such nation in the past.

            The Armenians managed to preserve their identity because of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

              Look - Turk who loves to parrot the latest anti-Armenian Turkish High School textbook - I want you to get one fact straight - it is very important - because you have based your entrie mythology on a false notion - (during the period of the Armenian Genocide) there was no Armenian rebellion - there was no attempt on the part of the Armenian people to create a nation state within the boundries of the Ottoman Empire - this is your myth - it is not true - period! Now please grow up and accept that the CUP were very bad (manical) people and they deserve the blame. Learn to think and not to parrot from your propoganda pieces - learn real history and not the junk you have been fed.

Just know that Mount Ararat is a vanished word, because the losers who called it as such are gone...goodbye...dwell in your new country, Armenia, and under your wonderful church...Have a good life. Wish you all the best...Leave Turkey to the Turks, and all others (Kurds, Armenians, LAz, Zaza....) who RESPECT unity and democracy.
