Turkey Up in Arms Over House Resolution Against Armenian ‘Genocide'

Submitted by MARK TAKMAN, Feb 22, 2007 03:19

During 1914 Armenians after 1000 of years living with their Turkish neighboors, turned against them and massacared over 500.000 Turks, including women and children.just imagine during Perl Harbor Japanese people in USA doing that to Americans here, what do you think it would happen? Thats what, did happened to Turks. Armenians sided with Russsians and they started this uprising (Tashlaklar rebels).Turks won the battle, many Armenians stayed rest was forced out to south, they were security risk for the unified Turkey,it was self peservation.but it was not a systamatic killing. and many returned their homes after the Turkish Republic was formed. Can you imagine Jewish people retuning to Germany, but Armenians did, they were not affraid, killing was done from both sides it was a war.but it was not a Genocide, Armenians refuses to debate and open their Archives for the World to study,

Even today, they are the Russias best friend, unlike Turkey who is a friend of USA, reason for this to come up after 100 years is pure political and they are seeking Restututions. IT IS A SHAME.

Thank you
