  • Innocent Until Proven Guilty

    Turks feel their ancestors are innocent of perpetrating a genocide against the Armenians. Armenians feel the Young Turks are guilty of crimes of Genocide against their ancestors.

    Innocent UNTIL Proven Guilty.

    Set up a international research/investigation committee. Make sure it has people from Turkey, Armenia but most importantly composed of people who are neutral on the Genocide and are committed to their objectivity.

    Thats it.

    The process has to be accepted by BOTH Armenians and Turks. Then and only then will you have this issue resolved.

      Have you even tried to read about all the trials in Istambul, and Malta, and other international courts? How many times do they have to be proven guilty?

        Look up the International Military Tribunal of 1919 in Istanbul. Turkish generals and Turkish governors admitted that orders had come from the top leadership to exterminate Armenians. Just a few examples, since the book was next to me already:

        Mustafa Arif, Interior Minister 1918-1919:

        "They decided to exterminate the Armenians, and they did exterminate them. This decision was taken by the Central Committee of the Young Turks and was implemented by the government."


        Ali Kemal, Interior Minister 1919:

        "In fact, it has already been demonstrated that this tragedy was planned on the basis of a decision reached by the Central Committee of Ittihad."

        Ali Kemal also said: "Don't let us try to throw the blame on the Armenians; we must not flatter ourselves that the world is peopled by idiots."


        I can quote dozens of more people, and this is only from the Turkish side. There are also thousands of pages of testimony and eye-witness accounts from British, French, American, German and Austrian sources.

          I think Timetells means to say "innocent until and after proven guilty"

            I was being sincere. This is not a laughing matter for Armenians or Turks.

            I have read about those trials, they were at best incomplete and inconclusive.

            As for the quotes, I have read them from both the Armenians Perspective and the Turkish and it is very difficult to sort through it all to get at the truth.

            This is an issue that is very complicated and requires the kind of research and study that most people do not have. Objective people from both sides and from all parts of the world need to converge and research this until there is no doubt in anyone's mind as to the events that transpired almost a century ago.

            If you seek a lasting solution, a peace and new understanding between Turks & Armenians then this approach is the only one that will work. Why? Because there are many people out there, that do not equate one race, one religion has higher than others. They see all life as important and all human history to be vital and important as a way to learn and move forward together.

              look, everybody knows the genocide happened even the so called "skeptics" evidence is so overwhellming that denying the Armenian genocide is just being ignorant and just plain stupit. Why should we be paying so much money and using so much effort to have a gencoide that happened be recognized. Its our societies courrupt way of thinking that makes this happen, the corrupt and immoral politicians that show no respect towards history and suffuring of other people. And politicians have the guts to deny the Armenian genocide in front of old, frail, women who survived it and witnessed their families being massacared. Friendship and deals viewed higher than the death of 1.5 million Armenians. Humanity is at its lowest point

                  Timetells = genocide denier.

                  Yeah, murderers were tried in absentia because they were cowards. No incompleteness or inconclusiveness about it. The historical record is certain, its a genocide.

                  Its a matter of judicial notice.

                    I wonder if you tried to use the same excuse on your math test in school when teacher asked you 2+2

                    It probably didn't work then and it sure as hell is not going to work now. There is nothing to debate. Everything has been established and documented VERY clearly and you just have to open your eyes to see it.
