This is a sad video, what's even sadder is that no one ever talks about it, and gives all the attention to the popular genocides that happened

Talaat wrote, "It is important that, to save appearances, a show of gentle dealing shall be made for a time, and the usual measures be taken in suitable places." A month later, angry that foreigners had obtained photographs of corpses along the road, Talaat recommended that these corpses be "burried at once," or at least hidden from view." -A Problem From Hell, p.10

@MegaHAYTXA Thanks for your comment. To be honest, I have studied engineering at my bachelor. Additionally, I've read so many books about my countries history including native and foreign authors sources. So, I believe that I know what I am talking about. I am sorry for the person you've mentioned who couldn't research the ottoman empire documents. But I can give you plenty of names from different countries (Germany, England, US, Japan) who were able to do research at library with permission.

BBC News Istanbul 22 Sept 2005 .Sarah Rainsford A Turkish court has ruled that a controversial meeting of historians on the mass killing of Armenians living under the Ottoman Empire should be suspended. The first attempt to stage the meeting, in May, was abandoned after Turkey's Justice Minister accused organizers of stabbing Turkey in the back. Two meetings canceled the second by a group of nationalist lawyers petitioned court at the last minute and once again the conference is off.

In June 2005, Turkey introduced a new penal code including Article 301, which states: "A person who, being a Turk, explicitly insults the Republic or Turkish Grand National Assembly, shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months to three years.

"The Ottoman Empire should be cleaned up of the Armenians and the Lebanese. We have destroyed the former by the sword, we shall destroy the latter through starvation." Enver Pasha (one of the triumvirate Ottoman rulers) publicly declared on 19 May 1916

When Kemal Ataturk Recited Shema Yisrael "It's My Secret Prayer, Too," He Confessed

I as an Armenian would never stay in turkey unless I had the right to carry a gun.

1.TIMES magazine from Oct 29 , 07 - " Honesty is the best policy: Recognizing Armenian Genocide may seem risky , but keeping quiet is the bigger damage". by Samantha Power 2. US NEWS and WORLD REPORT from sunday Oct. 21, 07 - " An Ugly truth - The challenges of confronting the Armenian Genocide". by Jay Tolson

From "A Shameful Act", dedication page. "I would like to dedicate this book to the memory of Haji Halil, a devout Muslim Turk, who saved the members of an Armenian family from deportation and death by keeping them safely hidden for over half a year, risking his own life." Now, if there was no Armenian Genocide, why would this Turkish man take such a rare action? Think about it denialists!

"One provincial governor wrote to Sultan Abdul Hamit: "50,000 Armenians fled across the border, 30,000 are still hiding in the woods, 45,000 have converted to Islam and 10,000 probably died. Thanks to Your Majesty's wise measures the Muslims are now everywhere in the majority." The Sultan declared in 1897 that 'the Armenian question' was now 'closed'. Unfortunately, it wasn't. --p.400, "Blood and Soil"

The total death toll for TURKISH TROOPS was 300,000. TROOPS died with guns pointed at enemies. CIVILIANS died unarmed, for the most part! Most Armenian males were forcibly and voluntarily conscripted in the Ottoman army.

So true. "Debate" is a victory for the DENIER, since it suggests there is doubt AND it gives them pleasure to deny and make the survivors' children and grandchildren upset.

The Turkish author Kâzım Kadri writes, "During the reign of Abdul Hamid we lowered the population figures of the Armenians..." He adds, "By the order of Abdul Hamid the number of the Armenians deliberately had been put in low figures."

I join you, members of the Armenian community, on your Memorial Day, as you mark the eighty-fifth anniversary of your genocide. I am here, with you, as a human being, as a Jew, as an Israeli, and as education minister of the State of Israel. --Israeli Minister of Education, Yossi Sarid, April 24, 2000.

Report of Wangenheim, German ambassador in the Ottoman Empire on June 17, 1915 - " Deportation of the Armenians from their homes in the vilayets of Eastern Anatolia, and their resettlement in other regions is implemented cruelly it becomes obvious that deportation of the Armenians arises not only from military necessity." Talaat said: "The Sublime Porte intends to make use of the world war for cleaning the whole country from local Christians".

Director Andrew Goldberg's documentary entitled "The Armenian Genocide" will be broadcast on Washington based PBS Channel August 5. The film produced by "Two Cats Productions" tells about the first genocide of the 20th century. The New York Times has characterized it as a "powerful" film, "which pays tribute to the victims of the Armenian Genocide"...

Do you have the full video? It appears to be cut short. Where was it aired on?

Gerald Ford Addressing the US House of Representatives. Mr. Speaker, with mixed emotions we mark the 50th anniversary of the Turkish genocide of the Armenian people. In taking notice of the shocking events in 1915, we observe this anniversary with sorrow in recalling the massacres of Armenians and with pride in saluting those brave patriots who survived to fight on the side of freedom during World War I. - Congressional Record, pg. 8890

Yes. Not a single government representative denied the Genocide. The Armenian massacres were covered in all media, TV, newspapers, etc. And millions of dollars could not buy that sort of re-exposure of Turkey's Genocide Denial policy. The resolution was put on the schedule for later this year or early 2008. It will be approved later, not today. Turkey lost again. Liars lost despite brines, threats, and Gephart and Livingston!

In July of the same year, a Swiss journalist, Emile Hilderbrand, interviewed Kemal, who openly blamed the Young Turks for the massacre of "millions of our Christian subjects." The interview originally appeared in the August 1, 1926 issue of the Los Angeles Examiner. This newspaper interview is an important document, since, in the ninth paragraph, Kemal Ataturk admits the reality of the Armenian Genocide.

The first upsurge of Armenian nationalism starting in the 1880s had caused both the Ottoman and the Russian Empires to be increasingly suspicious of the loyalty of their Armenian subjects. Thus, in retaliation for an 1894 uprising in the old Armenian heartland of eastern Anatolia, the Ottoman government organized a series of massacres over the course of two years with, according to Armenian sources, hundreds of thousands of Armenian deaths the result.

on April 6, 2002-if it was not sad, it could have been funny-the Turkish prime minister, Bulent Ecevit, told the Democratic Left Party (DSP) deputies that Israel was committing an act of genocide against the Palestinians. It is quite interesting to hear such a statement coming from the prime minister of a country that is so sensitive to the word "genocide".

Henry Morgenthau Sr When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations, they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race; they understood this well, and they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact. . . . I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1915.

Oufuk Ouras - left wing member of Turkish parlament - " The pain and sorrow resulting from the big tragedy of 1915 are very evident. It's not important what to call this tragedy - Genocide , Ethnic Cleansing... the important aspect is a Crime has been commited and this cannot be denied. We haven't gotten anywhere through our denialist policy".

Orhan Pamuk Famous Turkish author stated (and was put on trial for making this statement) in February, 2005... one million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it.

There is the book "Inner Folds of the Ottoman Revolution" written by Mevlan Zadeh Rifat in Turkish and published in 1929, the author, a pro-sultan Turk, claims that the "Armenian genocide was decided in August 1910 and October 1911, by a Young Turk committee composed entirely of displaced Balkan Jews in the format of a syncretist Jewish-Muslim sect which included Talaat, Enver, Behaeddin Shakir, Jemal, and Nizam posting as Muslims.

Yossi Beilin Israeli Deputy Foreign Minister. April 27, 1994 on the floor of the Knesset in response to a TV interview of the Turkish Ambassador It was not war. It was most certainly massacre and genocide, something the world must remember... We will always reject any attempt to erase its record, even for some political advantage

"Cool, in denial We're the cruel regulators smoking CIGARO CIGARO CIGAR..."

On August 3, 1914, i.e. three months before Turkey precipitated the war with Russia, all able-bodied Armenian men in the 20-45 age categories, and later in sequences those in the 18-20 and 45-60 categories, were conscripted in the Ottoman army. What was left behind in the Armenian community was a mass of frightened, if not terrorized, old men, women and children still haunted by the memories of the cycle of the massacres that were committed in the decades preceding World War I.

The Armenian Genocide is very real as several of my ancestors were killed in Turkey in Karabash in 1915. Their surviving children told the story.

vanaarmenya....you totaly agree with you

" the Armenian Genocide is not an allegation, a personal opinion, or a point of view, but rather a widely documented fact supported by an overwhelming body of historical evidence." BARAC OBAMA "As a senator, I strongly support passage of the Armenian Genocide resolution, and as President I will recognize the Armenian genocide."

For statistics, importance, go to wikipedia and type in "List of wars and disasters by death toll"...all the genocides are listed there as well.

Jimmy Carter May 16, 1978, White House ceremony It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people, probably one of the greatest tragedies that ever befell any group. And there weren't any Nuremberg trials

The Redundancy of the Argument of Armenian Rebelliousness The four instances of uprising were not only isolated, local, and disconnected incidents but, above all, they were improvised, last-ditch acts of desperation to resist imminent deportation and thereby avert annihilation. Being strictly defensive undertakings, practically all of the insurgents involved perished in the course of the operations regular Turkish army units launched against them to suppress the self-defenses.

"The Turkish denial [of the Armenian Genocide] is probably the foremost example of historical perversion. With a mix of academic sophistication and diplomatic thuggery -- of which we at Macquarie University have been targets -- the Turks have put both memory and history into reverse gear." -- Prof. Colin Tatz, Director, Centre for Comparative Genocide Studies (Centre for Genocide Studies Newsletter, (December 1995-January 1996))

i wanna watch this full documentary..:s is there a website for it or smthn? thanks

The ad was to make a point--to show the reality

Enver Pasha - declared on 19 May 1916 The Ottoman Empire should be cleaned up of the Armenians and the Lebanese. We have destroyed the former by the sword, we shall destroy the latter through starvation. In reply to US Ambassador Morgenthau who was deploring the massacres against Armenians - Enver's reply was : I have no desire to shift the blame onto our underlings and I am entirely willing to accept the responsibility myself for everything that has taken place

FIGHT ARMENIA, TILL YOU HAVE NATIONAL CONSCIENCE!!! FIGHT, AND REMEMBER YOUR PAST! then you won't dissappear! the world knows, you payed a great price...many try to lie against you, but KEEP THE FAITH!

Prof. Colin Tatz, Director, Centre for Comparative Genocide Studies1/1/1996 - "The Turkish denial [of the Armenian Genocide] is probably the foremost example of historical perversion. With a mix of academic sophistication and diplomatic thuggery -- of which we at Macquarie University have been targets -- the Turks have put both memory and history into reverse gear."

spoken like a real 16 year old male. bravo.

I agree.

I strongly agree

NO Genocide !!!!! lies lies and lies. NE MUTLU TÜRK'ÜM DİYENE

p.405, "Blood and Soil": Enver Pasha would later claim that his young turk army had drawn "all its strength from the rural class", adding that "all who seek to enrich those who do not work should be destroyed." Before WWI, the workd Turk itself, meaning "Muslim" in the west, had a connotation in Turkey of "rural" or "mountain people." By contrast, as we have seen, the Ottoman cities of Istanbul and Izmir comprised non-Turkish majorities of Armenians, Greeks, and Jews."

Voltaire characterised the Turks as: "tyrants of the women and enemies of arts". He also spoke of the need: "to chase away from Europe these barbaric usurpers"

I storngly agree

Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Founder of the modern Turkish Republic in 1923 and revered throughout Turkey, in an interview published on August 1, 1926 in The Los Angeles Examiner, talking about former Young Turks in his country... These left-overs from the former Young Turk Party, who should have been made to account for the millions of our Christian subjects who were ruthlessly driven en masse, from their homes and massacred, have been restive under the Republican rule

The Burning Tigris, p.385 "At its annual meeting in June 1998, the Association of Genocide Scholars--the definitive body of scholars of genocide--passed an Armenian Genocide Resolution. Another petition in the New York Times on June 9, 2000, read "126 Holocaust Scholars Affirm the Incontestable Fact of the Armenian Genocide and Urge Western Democracies to Officially Recognize It."

A Shameful Act, p.88: "Anti-Armenian agitation was coordinated by the War Ministry's 'Second Department', the Department of Intelligence. After the 1918 armistice, the daily Sabah reported that, as the officer responsible for the political department in Ottoman military headquarters, in collaboration with the Special Organization and in close coordination with Unionist Bahaettin Sakir, he had been among those who had devised the plan for the murder of the Armenians."

.."The alphabet reform of 1928, which changed Turkish script from Arabic to latin letters, served to compound the problem. With the stroke of a pen, the Turkish people lost their connection to written history. Turkey is a society that cannot read its own newspapers, letters, and diaries if they were written before 1928..." --p. 11, "A Shameful Act"

For more, see "Mahound Dog" on youtube!

..."The turkish govt has attempted to disrupt academic conferences and public discussions of the genocide, notably a conference in Tel Aviv in 1982, with demands backed up with threats to the safety of Jews in Turkey....The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council reported similar threats over plans to include references to the Armenian Genocide within the interpretive framework of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington..." --p.47, "The Banality of Denial"

Count Wolff-Metternich German Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire July 10, 1916, cable to the German Chancellor In its attempt to carry out its purpose to resolve the Armenian question by the destruction of the Armenian race, the Turkish government has refused to be deterred neither by our representations, nor by those of the American Embassy, nor by the delegate of the Pope, nor in deference to the public opinion of the West representing one-half of the world

u guys are really scary, dude.. was only gonna watch some documentary,but i didnt expect to witness some firsthand verbal war between sides which have been in some tension for decades..im sorry cuz i dont(and may never)understand the tough things that you all are goin thru.. and hell, i suck at history, so i dunno who's rite or wrong.. peace, dude..

Israel Charny and the International Association of Genocide Scholars responded in an open letter to the Turkish prime minister: We represent the major body of scholars who study genocide in North America and Europe. We are concerned that in calling for an impartial study of the Armenian Genocide you may not be fully aware of the extent of the scholarly and intellectual record on the Armenian Genocide and how this event conforms to the definition of the United Nations Genocide Convention.

the only thing that Armenian historians are proud at is that there ancestors committed a genocide against the Hittites the second greatest civilization of Anatolian history

Exactelly that is why he is asking for an historical commission only deniers ask for such commissions in fact

Blood and Soil, p.415 "In March 1919, the sultan described the CUP's measures againsst Armenians as "crimes against the laws of humanity and state. A special Turkish military tribunal indicted the Young Turks leaders in April 1919 for crimes of "deportation and massacre" (tehcir ve taktil)...The 1919 Turkish court-martial concluded that the CUP massacres of Armenians had the characteristics of a "final solution" (hall ve fasl)."

as turks continue to dance in a circle, more countries will recognize the Armenian genocide.

there were Turks and Kurds that saved Armenians...Cherkez Hassan was a general in ottoman army who resigned when he found out about the genocide...why aren't ppl like him celebrated as hereos in Turkey? this is where change needs to start...when Armenians were "agitating" for better rights, the ottoman govt should have reacted with changes in laws and greater freedom, not a genocide...alas, they got influenced by german generals to actually carry out the genocide...

Lord Robert Cecil Under-secretary of state for foreign affairs (House of Commons, Hansard (5th series), Vol. LXXV, 16 November 1915, Cols. 1770-1776.) I think it may be said, without the least fear of exaggeration, that no more horrible crime has been committed in the history of the world... This is a premeditative crime determined on long ago... It was a long-considered, deliberate policy to destroy and wipe out of existence the Armenians in Turkey. It was systematically carried out.

God bless you Armanians God be with you my brothers.The truth will come one day soon for the genocide that was done by Turks.

ayo.... Njdeh forever!!!!!!!!

true, and there were Turks who actually saved Armenians during the genocide...why aren't their names honored? why aren't they hereos in Turkey? Cherkez Hassan (not sure of spelling) was an Ottoman general who resigned when he found out the genocidal intent. Changing the curriculum in Turkey's schools is a necessary first step to enlightenment about the truth of the genocide.

why do you think they try to make a national identity out of this mess? Simply, they do not have one.

true

king36er if you really want the truth you should look up info that is documented by the American ambassador in Turkey if you would like this is his name Henry Morgenthau maybe this would help you understand that before you make an assumption you should research your info because its not just the Armenian's that say there was a genocide you see?

@MegaHAYTXA I'll be glad to read these articles as well if you can provide. I am an open minded person, I don't stick only one idea and get stuck with. As you know, the Armenian people are advertising, paying money, and pressing media since decades. So, most of international articles are not independent written. Even now, if you apply to teach or study at most of universities in US, you must admit that armenian genocide happened. You can see here power of Armenian population. And I believe it is

@jg300gman There is the book "Inner Folds of the Ottoman Revolution" written by Mevlan Zadeh Rifat in Turkish and published in 1929, the author, a pro-sultan Turk, claims that the "Armenian genocide was decided in August 1910 and October 1911, by a Young Turk committee composed entirely of displaced Balkan Jews in the format of a syncretist Jewish-Muslim sect which included Talaat, Enver, Behaeddin Shakir, Jemal, and Nizam posting as Muslims.

The current-day genocide happening in Darfur reminds us of the imperative to fight against genocide and strongly condemn genocide denial. So why a human rights organization like the Anti-Defamation League is abetting Turkey's campaign to deny the Armenian genocide of 1915? To find out more about the ADL's disturbingly hypocritical stance, visit noplacefordenial dot com

Herbert Hoover The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover, 1952 The association of Mount Ararat and Noah, the staunch Christians who were massacred periodically by the Mohammedan Turks, and the Sunday School collections over fifty years for alleviating their miseries-all cumulate to impress the name Armenia on the front of the American mind.

you guys really make me laugh goddamn you know I appreciate you in that regard you at least do something good and that you are the greatest clowns I have ever seen

George Bush Sr. April 20, 1990, speech in Orlando, Florida [We join] Armenians around the world [as we remember] the terrible massacres suffered in 1915--1923 at the hands of the rulers of the Ottoman Empire. The United States responded to this crime against humanity by leading diplomatic and private relief efforts.

it has already happened with USSR! with all Armenian love

Thanks. Greeks are good people.

It isn't genocide you people don't know the story. The armenians betrayed Turkey and Turkey said fine leave our country. So the armenians left and died on the streets trying to find a new home. Is that fair to turkey? That they got their own soldiers killed by the people they took care off?

I know and I have read the history about Armenians who attacked villages in north and northeast Turkey. I can not deny it cause it's a part of history anyway. But here is my question seyduna2, why that much people in purpose? 1,5 million is not a few! It's a large number of people got killed in a well organized massacre. Turk people respond and say: There was no Genocide! Some say: Turkey fought back! Some say: Armenians deserved that massacre! Now please response: Did the genocide happen?

British Viscount James Bryce October 6, 1915, speech The massacres are the result of a policy which, as far as can be ascertained, has been entertained for some considerable time by the gang of unscrupulous adventurers who are now in possession of the Government of the Turkish Empire. They hesitated to put it in practice until they thought the favorable moment had come, and that moment seems to have arrived about the month of April

@Igotangry BBC Documentary: Armenian Genocide - 'The Betrayed' - part 1/5

So why didn't anyone say anything?

JUSTICE FILES 15-3-21 - Soghomon Tehlirian assasinated talat in Berlin 25-7-22 - Artashes Gevorgyan and Petros Ter-Pogosyan assasinated jemal in Tiflis 1922 - Georgiy Agabekov and Akop Melkumov assasinated enver in Turkmenistan 19-7-20- Aram Erkanyan assasinated fatali xan xoyski in Tiflis 19-7-21 - Misak Torlakyan assasinated beybud xan jivanshir 17-4-22 - A. Shirakyan and Aram Erkanyan assasinated jemal agmin in Berlin

@MegaHAYTXA not fair to happen. However, Turkish government didn't realize the situation is going to be that serious, and didn't really defend or prep itself. Turkish government has opened its archives since 2005 and anyone can go there and do research. I would suggest you to take a look there, if possible. Moreover, if you need help, I can assist you or send friend of mine to guide you there. I still don't know why The president of Armenia was refused. Thanks

Turkey some day must recognize her past, as Germany did.The ages 1910-15 are not 1500 bc so we are not sure what crime happened then.A genocide can't hide. It's not a simple crime to be hidden,it's not rumors to be silent,it's a fact. We Greeks are also neighbour to Turkey, we know how Turkish military Goverments reacts fanatizing the people. With deadly ways to Anatolia (whatch the Asia Minor disaster, the genocide of the ancient Greek tribe of Ioanians..ΙΩΝΙΑ...A Turkish military tactic

Where are you from? Australia? Armenia? Who is barking for 80 years? "they killed us, they killed us". It is Armenia coming up with theories and we are barking when we answer?

your eyes must not be working, above you can clearly see p.405, in the book Blood and Soil.

lostpenguen comment deleted since it inverted the truth about the Armenian Genocide, claiming that the victim Armenians killed Koords. Bye bye lostpenguen

@TeslaGenius did kosovo accepted ARMENIAN GENOCIDE? with all Armenian love

Nice job of DENIAL of Genocide. By the way: forced conversion at gunpoint / sword to neck to Islam...is Genocde by current U.N. definition!!!!!!

FYI neveshalom, Armenian diaspora helps plenty, ok? you never heard of the ArmeniaFund? We're funding development of rural Armenia, so think before you speak you herretic.
