Okay atouraya, I will try to be humane in this discussion, I am holding back from saying things I might regret doing so later.

Now, Armenians did not pick a fight, they just wanted independence, nothing wrong with that, they had wanted it for generations before WW1, and Iran and Russia played a big part in that situation for a few generations or more. The Armenian "genocide" was not a tragedy, it was SOP, standard operating procedure, and although certainly tragic, it is unfortunately the way of life- where some people die, and some people don't, and I don't see why they should make it seem like such a bigger deal than what it is. I certainly like Armenians, and I agree with them that many were killed, but what else do you want? Do you want Turks to say 'sorry?' What would that accomplish? Is Armenia not content with the land in Armenia that they have now? Why are they pushing for more land, indirectly, in 'Greater Armenia'- now, dont get me wrong, I wouldnt mind that, Im just saying how some Armenians feel politically- and also, why are Armenians in Azerbaidzan continuing their aggression there? Was a country for themselves not enough? So they are not innocent, and although tragic what happened with the genocide, it is certainly not akin to a big tough evil man hatching off an Armenian baby's head, it is more like aggressive, young-fanatical Turks fearing for extra civil strife- political woes and taking the initiative to decapitate the problem they 'perceive' at its root- and unfortunately many Armenians, mostly innocent, died. But, that is war, and we cannot keep on crying about it forever, since many people die, and while I feel for their cause, they are not alone in that problem, nor are Assyrians or Kurds or Greeks, the whole world is in constant strife, and Armenians or others should not be myopic enough to think their suffering is any greater than anyone else's, that is hubris.
