The Armenian Genocide - My Perspective

Re: The Armenian Genocide - My Perspective

Generalizing is a trait of the simple minded. If you truly want to resolve issues then you must go into detail. I see intense hatred in these forums based on nothing more than race.

Is it right to judge people by this alone? What about the content of their character? Doesn't their viewpoints matter? Shouldn't one consider it prior to judging them?

Firstly, feel free to leave. No one asked you to come here.

Second, the "content of the character" of the Turk is exactly the reason why I posted this information.

Third, the Armenian Genocide will not be debated with Turks, you can not debate reality.

Fourth, good relations between Turks and Armenians will never develope as long as you occupy historic Armenian lands and withhold our stolen wealth.

So forget it Turkoglu, go bark somewhere else.

While we recognize it is important to be mindful of the exceptions, but when things come down to it, how much does that matter? How many Turks are even willing to have an open mind? It is simply impossible because the two peoples are trapped in two distinct paradigms. That is the way it goes. There are no middle roads or shades of grey or any other gobbledygook we have been taught about 'shades of grey'.

We have 'gone into details' many times, but what is the use of it if it falls on deaf ears?

I have tried the cordial and calm approach to discussing with Turks. It's simply impossible 99% of the time. Unless they accept the fact of guilt and responsibility, the 'calm and cordial' road is as useless as a chocolate teapot.

Furthermore, what viewpoints do you want to matter? The fact that Turkey still denies what it committed? Do you seriously think we have to consider that prior to judging them?

And if you are worried about being judged, you are too late, as your nation has been judged since your ancestors' scimitar met the neck of mine. And it's not just Armenians who have formed a judgement of Turks, it is pretty much all those peoples from Bulgars to Serbs to Greeks, etc., that have been occupied by Turks. This isn't some vague 'judgement' we formed. First impressions matter, and that is what people always go off of. Have you been to a job interview and you horribly screwed yourself in that initial interview? Well, if you have experienced that, it is akin to that.

Unlike the Bible states, the strong will inherit the earth, not the meek.

Face the facts.

Yours/ours is a lost cause.

Well, I actually entirely agree with this statement.

Yours/ours is a lost cause.

I think you ought to keep that comment to "yours" and then it wouldn't really be your business.

If you make it "ours", I don't care for defeatism either. Its a question of quantity vs quality. Yes someone has to lose eventually.

Re: The Armenian Genocide - My Perspective

The audacity, aegeo, for you to post all that here. Isn't revisionist history fun? One doesn't have to look at the facts when there is an agenda to consider. The only thing is, no matter what history books might say trying desperately to cover this up, we here all know better. How can you honestly believe this when we still have grandparent's/great-grandparent's who were alive at this time and saw what was happening to their families. AND, as long as we have those personal histories (and, we all have them, and they match up quite well, despite mabye not knowing each other), fiction & half-truths like you just provided will NEVER be accepted by anybody worth their degree in history. As a matter of fact, what would you say to those Turks who HAVE done independant research & found that their country really DID massacre 1.5 million Armenians?

AND, before I go, you asked why not the Greeks? Oh yeah, because the Greeks & the Turks have been best friends throughout the ages...
