See, you are a self-admitted liar. During the First World War and 
the ensuing years - 1914-1920, the Armenian Dictatorship through a 
premeditated and systematic genocide, tried to complete its centuries-old 
policy of annihilation against the Turks and Kurds by savagely murdering 
2.5 million Muslims and deporting the rest from their 1,000 year 
homeland.

The attempt at genocide is justly regarded as the first instance
of Genocide in the 20th Century acted upon an entire people.

and international political leaders, such as U.S. Ambassador Mark 
Bristol, William Langer, Ambassador Layard, James Barton, Stanford

Where is your non-existent list, Mr. Revisionist? 

Furthermore, numerous articles in major newspapers (London Times) 
and periodicals (Newsweek) during the war, had suggested the existence 
of a significant collaboration between Armenians and the Nazis. Arthur 
Derounian deserves credit for being the first person to deal with this 
issue extensively. Derounian's motives were twofold: his deeply held
democratic convictions gave him a sense of duty and he felt obliged
to shed light on this yet another dark chapter of Armenian history.
Concurrently, Derounian embarked on what one would call 'crisis
control' or face-saving. In order to forestall any potential attacks
on the larger Armenian community in the United States, he marginalized
collaboration as deplorable but insignificant.[1]

                      We closed the roads and mountain passes that might 
                      serve as ways of escape for the Tartars [Turks] and 
                      then proceeded in the work of extermination.'
