April 24, 1915 - Remember the Genocide
TraceOneInfinite:
My Turkish friend told me that it was the Ottomans who accepted the Armenians into their territory after they were run out of Russia. Then, some generations later the Armenians stabbed the Ottomans in the back by collaborating with Russia and trying to sabatoge the Ottoman Empire. So the Ottoman Chaliph decided that the Armenians should have to go back to the Russians and many died along the way.

Modern day Eastern Turkey was historically Western Armenia until the Turks conquered it in the 18th century. Armenians lived within their historical homeland in relative peace with the Turks until WWI. Turks never "accepted" Armenians into their territory because Armenians were already there, it was their land. The thing with Russia is complicated... The Russian Empire in the 1820's fought a war with Turkey and claimed some of the land (which is now the Republic of Armenia) and made it into Russian Empire's Armenian Province. If Russia hadn't done that, the Ottomans would have probably succeeded in killing all of the Armenians. The thing is, Turks are taught lies in their schools, and most of them don't deny the Genocide out of malice ,but because they're misinformed by their goverment and their teachers. Most Turks i've met here at UCSB hardly know anything about the Genocide, their government is trying to wipe it out of history

That's an interesting perspective. If the Turks wanted to send the Armenians to Russia, they didn't have to escort them on brutal death marches towards the Syrian deserts, south of Russia, raping my ancestors' women and starving them on the way there.

Yo man, I was just saying what my friend said about it, I don't know much about the subject. One thing I do know was that I saw a documentary on PBS about the genocide and at the end of the program I looked at the names of the writer, producer and director and they were all 3 Jewish names. Jews have a stake in making the Ottoman Empire look bad because the Ottoman Empire was the one thing that stood in their way for 400 years and kept them from harming the Palestinians and stealing their land. Once the Ottoman Empire was out of the picture, it wasn't long before the Jews began occupying Palestine and renamed it Isreal.
