Also how you brush off the massacres Armenians committed and all the muslims died during these years that goes to numbers that make the armenian losses fall short shows how driven you are through propaganda.
What in God's has this to do with anything again? No one has been brushing anything off. You're the only one who has brought dead muslims into this. Your basic arguments against calling the disappearance of Armenians as genocide is that Armenians (among others) killed muslims too. That's how a fucking 5-year-old argues. "He has ice cream, so I can have ice cream too". Even if a billion muslims had died in those 300 years, it doesn't justify harsh actions against people, most of whom had nothing to with it.
And unlike you I have direct contact and understanding of the days turkish language, and this was not a hate crime but a problematic way to solve an administrative issue, Ottoman Empire was not entitled to give up any territory back then
Of course, why on earth would Turkish sources be in anyway biased towards the Turkish side. That's like a Russian guy citing Russia Today as an unbiased source. Let me quote you some contemporary sources of the time:
"
An appeal for relief of Armenian Christians in Turkey, following reported massacres and threatened further outrages, was made to the Turkish Government today by the United States." - New York Times, 28th of April 1915
"
It was learned, in connection with the conferences held here today, that general representations have from time to time been made to the Ottoman Government by Ambassador Morgenthau for humane treatment of Armenians. Despite these representations, the slaughter of Armenians has continued. --- Reports reaching Washington indicate that about 500,000 Armenians have been slaughtered or lost their lives as a result of the Turkish deportation order and the resulting war of extinction Turkish authorities drove the Gregorian Armenians out of their homes, ordered them to proceed to distant towns in the direction of Bagdad, which could only be reached by crossing long stretches of desert. During the exodus of Armenians across the deserts they have been fallen upon by Kurds and slaughtered, but some of the Armenian women and girls, in considerable numbers, have been carried off into captivity by the Kurds." - New York Times, 24th of September 1915
"
The Armenian race numbered over 4,000,000, of whom 2,000,000 were Turkish Armenians, and of these perhaps 1,000,000 have been deported and 500,000 massacred. Only 200,000 escaped into the mountains, and so across to Russian soil. There are some hundreds of thousands in concentration camps between Aleppo and Mosul and in the neighboring regions of Mesopotamia, where Turkey continues to be supreme over their fate." - New York Times 21st of August 1915, quoting the Rev. Harold Buxton, Secretary of the Armenian Refugees Fund.
"
The trial of those responsible for the Armenian massacres by the Turks has begun in Constantinople. The leader of the Turkish officials being tried at present is Keimal Bey, Governor of Diarbekir.
The prosecutor, in opening the trial, said it was necessary to punish the authors of the massacres which had filled the whole world with a feeling of horror." - New York Times, 12th of February 1919
Do I need to continue?
The two documents that bring closure to this talk. I'm not sorry that the northeastern anaolia's fate was sealed to being homogenous.
I really don't understand the point of this. So there's a political party that claims most of Eastern Turkey as Armenian, and the best and justified solution is to tell the Armenians living there to fuck off? I think your last sentence there kind of tells whose side you're on.
