Here is a well respected British historian on the whole genocide claim:

"…Yet at the very time when the agreement (Sykes-Picot Agreement) was being made, I was being employed by His Majesty’s Government in a ‘Blue Book’, which was duly published and distributed as war propaganda. The French Government made use of the Armenians in a different way. They promised to erect an autonomous Armenian state, under their aegis, in the Cilician part of their Anatolian Zone and the promise brought them several thousand Armenian volunteers, most of whom were enrolled in the Legion d’Orient and served for the rest of the War” (Toynbee, Arnold J., The Western Question in Greece and Turkey, Howard Fertig, Inc. Edition, New York, 1970)."

Here is also a quote from first prime minister of Armenia:

ovhannes Katchaznouni 1923

"Are we not capable of doing in the Soviet Armenia what we did in the Turkish Armenia, for tens of years? We certainly are. We might establish a base in the Iranian Qaradağ and send people and arms to the other side of Araxe, (just as we did in Salmas once). We might establish the necessary secret relations and armed “humbas” in the Sunik and Dereleghez mountains just as we did in the Sasun mountains and the Chataq stream (in eastern Turkey). We might provoke the peasants in some far off regions to rise and then we might expel the communists there or destroy them. Later we might create great commotion even in Yerevan and occupy a state building at least for a few hours just as we occupied the Ottoman Bank or we might explode any building. We could plan assassinations and execute them just as we killed the officials of the Tsar and the Sultan…; in the same way, just as we did to Sultan Abdülhamid, we could plant a bomb under Myasnikov’s or Lukashin’s feet. …when we created a great hubbub in Turkey, we thought we would attract the attention of the great powers to the Armenian cause and would force them to mediate for us, but now we know what such mediation is worth and do not need to repeat such endeavours…”

These are just couple examples. If we accept Seyfo as evidence, should we recognise Fred Aprim and the likes as real historians? I have read articles from Tiglath and I respect him, come on now, are u serious about Seyfo? it's all lies and propaganda. And I must strongly disagree with the whole Islamisation claim because anyone that knows Turkey would be aware that this government is anything but Islamic. The young Turks never claimed Islam and Ataturk definitely didn't. Keep in mind that the same group executed many promonent Muslim Turkish scholars and closed mosques down.

There was nothing Islamic about them but that does not make them guilty of genocide nor of evil because they still tolerated minorities in the empire.
