GENOCIDE CLAIM DENIES ARMENIAN CRIMES, DISMISSES TURKISH SUFFERING, AND STIFLES FREE SPEECH

The unearthed mass graves in Zeve, Erzurum and Erzincan of Turks killed by Armenians during WWI is a testimony to the fact that Turkish-Armenian conflict cannot be genocide. Armenians were no innocent bystanders in this conflict . In fact, they were extremely brutal belligerents in a very bloody war. This aspect was confessed to and documented by Armenian leaders like Boghos Nubar (Letter published in London Times, 1919) and Hovhannes Katchaznouni (Address to ARF Congress in Bucarest, 1923.) Then, of course, there is the US Congressional Report “American Military Mission to Armenia” 1920 and the Annex Report Nat. Archives 184.021/175 which refers to “…refinements of cruelty by Armenians to Muslims…”.

Turks do recognize what happened in 1915; they just do not think it is genocide. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) was correct in its landmark verdict of Dec 17, 2013, on Perincek vs Switzerland, that "[t]he existence of a 'genocide', which was a precisely defined legal concept, was not easy to prove… (ECHR) doubted that there could be a general consensus… given that historical research was, by definition, open to discussion and a matter of debate, without necessarily giving rise to final conclusions or to the assertion of objective and absolute truths".

Peace.

GENOCIDE CLAIM DENIES ARMENIAN COMPLICITY IN THE TRAGEDY, DISMISSES THE RESULTING TURKISH SUFFERING, AND STIFLES FREE EXPRESSION

In a landmark decision, The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) unequivocally supported the above position in its Dec 17, 2013 verdict on Perincek vs Switzerland that "[t]he existence of a 'genocide', which was a precisely defined legal concept, was not easy to prove". The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) added: "doubted that there could be a general consensus… given that historical research was, by definition, open to discussion and a matter of debate, without necessarily giving rise to final conclusions or to the assertion of objective and absolute truths". Thus, the ECHR created a legal precedent of inadmissibility of any comparison between the Holocaust and the Armenian claims; the latter lacks what the former clearly has: concrete historical facts, clear legal basis, and existence of the "acts had been found by an international court to be clearly established". Let the facts speak for themselves.

The Jewish Holocaust is a court-proven genocide; where is the Armenians' Nuremberg? To call 1915 a genocide would be to equate much-discredited Armenian narrative to factual Jewish traged. How can any decent human being measure the two events by the same yardstick? The UN, the US, the UK, Australia, Israel, Sweden and many other countries do not accept the use of the term genocide to describe the Turkish-Armenian conflict.
