My grandfather having to be dressed up as a little girl and smuggled out of the country is proof enough for me. They killed the men and forced the women to march until they died, in case you didn't know.

And my grandfather believed that an invisible man was watching our every move. But despite my grandfather, I don't believe such invisible man exists. People tend to easily believe in stories that are told over and over, but some people prefer the stories that sit on some kind of solid proof. Is there any kind of solid proof an so-called genocide, other than sad stories heard from relatives? Look for hodjali massacre: Armenian love bugs massacred the azerbaijanis. You can easily find solid proofs on hodjali massacre. But is there anything on so-called armenian genocide other than heart breaking stories? Long story short: armenians tried to take advantage of the world war and conquer the eastern anatolia by assaulting on kurdish and turkish villages. Von schellendorf ordered deportation of armenians. Kurds tried to take revenge of the assaults. Please do find solid proofs for your story, other than "my grandfather was this and that".

  At least 300,000 - but probably more than a million - Armenians were killed. > There is general agreement that hundreds of thousands of Armenians died when the Ottoman Turks deported them en masse from eastern Anatolia to the Syrian desert and elsewhere in 1915-16. They were killed or died from starvation or disease. The total number of Armenian dead is disputed. Armenians say 1.5 million died. The Republic of Turkey estimates the total to be 300,000. > According to the International Association of Genocide Scholars, the death toll was "more than a million". http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6045182.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6045182.stm So what are you saying? That people were not killed, or that they were not killed as part of a genocide?

  Where are your "solid proofs?" I have my family and my existence (I wouldn't be here if my grandfather wasn't forced to leave the country) to prove what I'm saying. You're just trying to cover up what the Turks did. A lot of people say the Nazis didn't do anything either. They're wrong, just as you are.
