  1. Forced deportation and I had a turk earlier today telling me it wasn’t a genocide because many of the Armenians migrated.

  5. “It didnt happened but they deserved it” genocide deniers.

  6. but but but armenians are so innocent they are like babies they killed and beated but they are so good they are angels🥹🥹🥹

  7. World War 1 is going on and Armenians who live in the Ottoman Empire’s land start to co-operate with Russia to invade Ottoman Empire from the North East.

    Ottoman Empire takes action against these rebels. And bam, it’s called genocide?

    How is it called genocide if a country is defending their land against rebels who are killing their villagers and babies, burning the whole villages along the way. But no one talks about these Armenian aggression against Turkish civilians before the alleged genocide.

    Sounds like what everyone wanted was Ottoman Empire just letting Armenians take over east of their land with Russia. Yea fuck that noise.

  9. Friendly reminder to anyone going “it wasn’t a genocide” that in developing the term genocide Raphael Lemkin literally used the Armenian Genocide as the first basis for his description of genocide that would go on to be put into the genocide convention.

  10. Yesterday Erdogan indirectly said they will open borders and peace can only be achieved between us if Armenia drops the genocide case, in fact he blamed the diaspora (the genocide victims) for bad Turkish-Armenian relations.

    Before you deem this fake because it’s an Armenian source, i can’t search it in Turkish and no other news agency covers small talks like this.

  12. Why dont Turkish goverment just accept it and move on. Nearly every nation committed atrocities and massacares in their history but they also accepted what they did and they were wrong. An apology shouldn’t be that hard man. Im a Turk and cannot still understand what we are gaining by rejecting such shame

    Edit : Didn’t think i will get death threats over this but here we are…

  13. Oh boy, prepare for the comment section to be brigaded by Turks.

  14. And 🦃 is still so proud about it privately, while denying it in public.

  15. Yet the Modern Turkish State doesn’t recognize this. But they are our allies so it’s all good :)))

  17. To anyone interested to the topic of why it happened and why normal turks fell for this genocidal policy, I recommend the book of Taner Akcam “A shameful act”.

    He explores not only how things unfolded politically within the Ottoman empire, but also how the long century pressure of the Great Powers contributed to the feeling of hate towards christians in otherwise the rather peacefull empire (this is huge generalisation Im doing here, I know, I myself can point thousand exceptions).

    In modern times we have a lot of books on the nazi regime from historical and psychological perspective, but for the armenian genocide, not quite so. Akcam is a turkish proffesor (ofc he do not live in Turkey), maybe the best historian to deal with the topic.

    PS: may God save the souls of all who died during that years. I still remember myself reading Gregory Balakian’s memories called “Armenian Golgotha” and crying in the library. What happened then and overall in the 20c. we shall never repeat again!

  18. Genocide should be be remembered in horror.
    The modern day Hamas apologist should be ashamed for the clueless fuckwits they are.

  20. It’s always a fucking Russian or simp that denies, but this is the real genocide that is happening now.

  22. They did not disappear, vast majority moved to US ,france etc.

  23. May there be peace and a hopeful future for the Armenian nation. And may this horrific tragedy never be forgotten.

  24. I can see that the it never happened but they deserved folks are out in full force in the comment section. What amuses me is that they don’t realize how they come off and look outside of their country/social circles.

  26. Inb4 the thread gets brigaded to oblivion.

    The modern turkish state was established upon the blood of minorities, lest the Turks acknowledge the crimes of their fathers, and they will continue discriminating against them.

    It’s pathetic to see this absolute denial of history and facts, and the resort to childish whataboutism when cornered. The descendants of those victims still live today in Los Angeles, France, and those who escaped the marches across the Syrian desert live today within the Levant.

    How anyone could deny or downplay such a shameful act in history with such pride and arrogance is beyond me and disgusting.

    My heart goes out to the Armenian people and nation 🇦🇲❤️

  28. If woke people ruled Europe back then, armenian genocide would have been anti terror operation, not genocide.

  29. A very educational movie/documentary about the Armenian Genocide if you haven’t seen it:
