The Turks will never admit what they did to the Armenians, just the fact that this guy can sit here and say the Turks have no blood on their hands is a joke.
Maybe we can take turns: you post a photo of Armenians being brutalized by Turks, then I post a photo of Southern Americans lynching a Black man.
Then, of course, it would be your turn again.
Fun game, don't you think?
America has admitted what they done wrong in regards to blacks, slavery is documented in history as well as these lychings. Turkey refuses to acknowledge what they did to the Armenians, go ahead and ask the Turk posters on here like Ekrem, according to them nothing has happened. Turkey needs to grow the fuck up, admit to what happened and apologize and move on. Stop making excuses for them.
I am not making excuses for them, and the Turkish people have to come to terms with their past actions.
It was a genocide against the Armenians living in Turkey. But you cannot judge their actions against today's standards and definitions.
In fact, the very word 'genocide' was only coined in 1943, to describe the Turkish/Armenian massacre.
In 1915, there was no international or even societal stigma attached to mass killings of your enemies.
By using today's definitions and moral outrage, it could be argued successfully that there was a U.S. genocide against Native Americans.
Have we admitted that officially? No.
