A beautiful site-my grandfathers came from Urfa (one in 1895, 1 in 1915)-both taught me that not all Turks were evil but that some evil people were Turks-and that every nationality and religion has horrible people as well as good people. For Turkey to be a great nation, it must acknowledge its past, apologize for a terrible part of its history (and not just to Armenians but to Assyrians and others), and then move forward. Hate cures nothing but to paraphrase, the truth shall set us all free.

I would like to correct, historical, your statement that the armenian genocide was the first in the 20th century---the first was against the african people "HEREROS" in then German South-West Africa (today NAMIBIA) by Germany between 1904 - 1907.

Armenian problem is an artificial subject and maintained by diaspora Armenians in an inciting way. Armenians have never accepted the offers of Turkey concerning the searches of historical affairs. This automatically means that Armenian claims are out of reality and just serve to the interests of diaspora. Finally these nonsenses will never harm Türkiye, however will always leave Armenia a "lonely" country.

To “erhan”: Thank you for signing our guestbook and turkish views are also welcomed here. But I have to mention some points: First of all Turks in 1071 has no empire in Anatoia and were not powerful. They occupied Constantinapole in 1453 AD. And at that time Turks ruled just in small area around that city (As you can see in this map, which is published by Oxford university). The most powerful and most biggest time of ottoman empire was about 1550s. From that years ottoman Turks started to rule in all over the Anatolia. Thus, before that time they couldn’t massacre people, who were not under their control. Secondly, in spite of during whole the time, when Turks have been ruling on Armenians, Armenians lived in Anatoia, in their ancestral lands, as slaves of Turks. But since the middle times of 19-th century, when Turks started to lose their lands in Africa and the western part of Ottoman empire, such as European parts of empire, Bulgaria, Balkan, Romenia and Hungari, Libia and Algeria and…., then they started to think and fear that may be Ottoman Armenia and armenians would be independent too. So they gradually started massacre of Armenians and settle Armenian lands by Kurds and Turks. The first big massacre of Armenians brutally was organized by Sultan Abdul Hamid in 1894-1896 (more than 300,000 Armenians were killed), then in 1909 by Young Turks in Adana (30,000 Armenians were killed) and during World War One, in 1915-1923 , one and half milion armenians were massacred and the the others, about 500,000 Armenians deported from Ottoman Armenia and Anatolia forever. Thirdly, Armenians were killed not only in eastern part of Turkey, but in all over the Ottoman empire, In Istanbul, Izmit, Angora, Adana,…And at last, Today Turks have the same problem with Kurds. Turks were so fashist that they called Kurds as “ mountainous Turks”…

In fact what happened on April 24,1915 was a Genocide and no one has a tiny right to debate or deny that turning them into massacre, desposition or into other words. Ask the Armenians survived after all what was it. As for Sumgayit ,Baku , it was a slaughter... a painful evidence of most live Armenians who could escape or leave the place in time. Yet the Turks build monuments as if commemorating something called Turkish Genocide( by Armenians) .. Latest news said that the stones are flowing down from and the monuments are being ruined by themselves, as they are stones built for fake events... Patience and Wisdom to our Wise People, You armenians, God is witness, you will see the Justice. Mount Ararat is an Armeenian Mountain, no one has a right to share it with the Armenians.

It's very interesting to read Turks say; "Genocide didn't happen". I just read a comment (I don't remember who it was) and it said something like this "Turks never lived in the Area where Armenians were killed, It was kurds who killed them" It's a very easy thing to put the blame on somebody else. I agree that kurds had their own fault, but it was just because there were so scared of Turks to stand on Armenian side. The statement that the Turks didn't live in the places were Armenians were killed is just a rubbish. Armenians were killed all over the Turkey including Sasun, Van, Azizia, Adana, Zeytun If the person who wrote that comment ment the desert of Der el Zor than they are right about that, It wasn't a Turkish teretory and it Isn't But the killing action was done by Turkish. There were the ones who had the plan with Armabs to drive armenian nation to Der el Zor and kill them there, Because it would be much harder to do it in Turkey. WHY? Because if Armenians would know what was going to happen to them they would never stay still and let Turkish kill them. They would fight, but Turkish lied that they are rescuing Armenians from the World War. I agree that there is some of Armenian fault to. We Armenians are tempt to belive and trust everybody and that's the same story with Turkish. I just want to tell ALL THE ARMENIANS WHO WILL EVER READ THIS. GENOCIDE HAPPENED AND IT'S A FACT. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE WHOLE WORLD RECOGNIZES IT. WE SHOULD NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! DON'T LET THIS TURKS TO PUT YOU DOWN. BE INFORMED. READ AND PROVE THEM WHO ARE ARMENIANS. HOW STRONG THE ARMENIAN NATION COULD BE.

There's no irony in this it's simply the truth and yes truth hurts but until the turkish government accepts their wrong doing and comes out of denial we will fight and will make sure this never happens again!! There are lots of proof in form of documents, pictures, and even video documents that the turks used the opportunity through the world war to clear out the Armenian race (genocide). It's unfortunate that the new generation of turks has not been thought the truth about their history, not only with the Armenian, but with other nationalities such as the Greeks, French,.... the list is long. It's a known fact that turkey cannot be trusted in anyform or matter.

If you look at our history we turks had never performed genocide. we started invading Anatolia at 1071 completed 12th century. İf we had been massacrers, we could have done it 700 years ago when we had the most powerful empire on earth. I accept, bad things happened before and during ww1. Strange thing is, Turks do not live in the area Armenians were forced to walk. it is Kurds who massacred them. Irony is, Armenians and Kurds are united against Turks now.

As APRIL 24 is approaching again and we will again make the world hear us. I will continue walking the path with my kids and hope for the "NEW" turks will open their minds and eyes and realize what their history holds is nothing but dark, wrong doings and inhumane acts. Nothing will ever bring down our voices nor will we stop from fighting for our rights and belongings. The term "what goes around comes around" applies well to the turks and they will get the boomerang reaction if not today will tomorrow. For all those turks who wrote on this page w/full of anger and bull %&#, you and I know that your anger stems from the fact that you are aware of your wrong doing and do not want to admit to the ARMENIAN GENOCIDE, but it's ok because there will come a day that your government will admit and my kids will live more peacefully. Until then, Long live Armenia, and eshe%&* milet turk milet.

It is very true that both Turks and Armenians were killed in the events that took place early in the 20th century. However, what makes slaughtering of Armenians something we call Genocide is the fact that this manslaughter was orchestrated by the Turkish government. There are many honest people in the world who regardless of their nationality or religion recognize this Genocide - and there are Turks among them. I am very much against nourishing Genocide. However, it must be remembered and acknowledged in order for the whole world to move forward and to never repeat anything like that again. Sadly, it is not about people's attitude - it is all political and political only. The Turkish influential politicians are now playing the Jewish card in their attempt to influence the American politicians' decision on recognition of Genocide. They made it all very clear: unless the leaders of Israel and the leaders of international Jewish communities influence the U.S., the life of Jewish people in Turkey will be far from pleasant. So, what we see now is a kind of a love/hate triangle with Turkey, Israel and the U.S. being equally involved around the Genocide issue. You all should know the saying: "Guns don't kill people - people do". I would allow myself to re-phrase it by saying that people don't kill people - politicians do. We all know many examples of Turkish and Armenian families living as peaceful neighbors, we also know many examples of Turkish families saving Armenians from being slaughtered. Deepest respect from the bottom of our hearts to these people. Sadly, we also know some well-educated chauvinist, who shamelessly forgot about professional ethics of medical doctors and raising their voice against recognition of Genocide: http://www.petitiononline.com/ag022108/petition.html I wish all of you here prosperity and happiness - regardless of your nationality and religion.

Dear Mr. Borak BOzali, Can you even understand wat you are saying? GEnocide didn't happen. Armenians killed Turkish too. That's a big, fat lie. Well in some cases I agree with this, But I really don't think that genocide never happened. You are trying to deny the fact that You Turkish people killed millions of people without paying back for that. I agree, That we Armenians tried to defend ourselves, but that was such a small defence compared with your bloody armies. If you have ever opened the history books, or read how the war happens, As you declared everybody that genocide was a war, You probably know that war is when one side declares about it to the other side, or there are reasonable reasons for starting a war,so both sides know it is going to happen. In this case not a single Armeninan knew what was going to happen, because your Young Turk Party gave only good heaven's promises. "Armenians and Turkish are friends. We will live together like brothers. There will be no war!!!!" And now you say that Armenians killed you too. Can you even try to imagine what you are saying. Which smart person in his right mind would not defend him/herself when others are trying to kill his/her family. Yes, I agree that in some places armenians stood up against your murderers,(Sasun, Zeytun) But that was just because you were a little late in this places and they tried to get ready for your(Turkish) attack in their lands. So after all this can you still think that Poor Turkish got killed By those "blood thirsty Armenians." Or it was a war. With full respect Sona

Hello, oke let's see.. First of all, Thank you very very much for making this site. Respect. 2. It is true, The turkisch people have killed armenians. 3. The turkisch people are only denying, BUT they are always telling different stories that they didn't killed armenians, Thas really strange, But if you interview 2 armenians who dont know each other they will tell you the same story.. Here in Holland, we have always a dutch document on tv about april 24. And you see interviews of armenian people who have gone true the genocide, and young Turks who deny the armenian genocide, and they are all telling weard storries, like:'We didn't kill the armenians, they were killed by the bad wether'. Really weard.. But if thats so true, how can you explain pictures of armenian people who's heads were cut of there bodies.. 4. The 'young turks' are teaching the new generation at school, that they didn't kill armenian people. And if you put your mouth open in Turkey and say, there was an armenian genocide, they will execute you. 5. But I know there are people in Turkey who reconize the armenian genocide, And i really got respect for them, that they are saying Yes we did it, And we're Sorry! I love God and it will happen like God wants it. Peace and love for everybody. I hope One day we all can go allong with each other.

First to DOGAN: We Armenians are thankful that Turkey has not attacked on Armenia and committed a new Genocide to exterminate the remainder Armenians who are still alive. Thank You for Turks who saved us from civilized Byzantins in order to slaugther us together. SECOND TO Bozkurt: Every nation has right to live independent and manage his life. Every nation has right to fight for his freedom AS Irish and Indians from England, Algerians from France, Libyans from Italy and also Armenians from Ottoman Turks. But the governments of England, France and Italy have not massacred them, what Turkish government did. On the other hand, Armenians were not fight against Turkish governement in 1915 and Thousends of young men of Armenians were in Turkish Army who all were also massacred in Turkish army. But if some few of Armenians for their freedom were fighting against Turks, this matter does not give Turks the right to massacre the whole Armenian nation including, men, women, childs and old people. Why Turkey dont open his archives to internaional historians. The governemt of modern Turkey say to Armenia "come to create a commision to debate this tirible Genocide", But every one in Turkey who speak aBOUT aRMENIAN Genocide is condemned and face in front of court, prison and a lots of threats, such as Turkish historian khalil berktay, Taner Akcham, Orhan Pamouk and Hrand Dink who was killed in 19 Feb 2007, just because he dare to talk about Armenian Genocide. Bozkurt, if you bother yourself you can find many many proves about this Genocide. See what "NewYorkTimes" has written in 1915, look at the reports of USA embassador in Turkey 1915 Henry Morgenthau to State secretary of USA in Washington, look at what Iranian Newspapers in 1915 has said about Armenian Genocide, look at to the observations of Iranian famous writer Seyed Mohammad Ali JAMALZADEH who in 1915 , the year of Armenian mass murder were in Turkey, and many many documents. you can find many of them in this website. You have to just bother yourself.

I hate christian missionaries working against muslims. 1. who cares if usa recognizes so called genocide or not. 1 minus or 1 plus doesnt change the lie. So what???? TURKIYE will end this war by taking armenia and making it a part of the country. Fuck Armenians who are bloddy murderers of Turks in Ottoman Empire and Azeris.

I really appreciate all the information and proof of the Armenian genocide on this website. I find it really sad how strong the hatred is still for the Armenians by the Turks. All the Armenians want is for the Turkish government to admit thier atrocities and to apologize. How else can things be healed between the people. For the the Turks to say that a genocide never happened is preposterous in face of all the evidence and witnesses. I am Armenian and truly try to judge people on an individual basis not just by their race or nationality but i find it amazing at the level of hate when one does not even know the person. Genocide should NEVER be condidered acceptable. I pray for peace between the religions...i believe there is good in all religions and i pray to God that their are Muslims out there without intent to kill all the Christians and Jews. Can't we be tolerant of each others beliefs? God is love isn't he or does Allah not teach love...i would hope that he does. PEACE!

I have heard of the Armenian genocide but I knew nothing of it. Today, when I heard about the protests in Turkey against the resolution passed in US parliament, I decided to learn some more. I will not sleep tonight. My heart is torn and I can hardly see what I'm typing as my eyes are so full of tears. What makes one man hate another so much? What is it about Islam that makes its followers deny the right to existence of any other faith? I pray for the souls of the dead and that nothing like this should ever happen again.
