You're welcome, Faruk. Ottoman Armenians have decided to betray their own 
government in 1914 and stab in the back by collaborating with the invading
Russian armies, hoping to establish a separate Armenian state in Eastern 
Anatolia. The Armenian leaders played a gamble that cost 2.5 million Turkish
and Kurdish lives.

The truth needs to be told over and over again. There are Armenians
who of course do know the Armenian genocide of 2.5 million Muslims
between 1914-1920 but their voices of truth are suppressed today
in the hollow din of the well-orchestrated anti-Muslim campaign
by the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism Triangle and its pathological liars 
and neo-Nazi followers.

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.
This event is incontrovertibly proven by historians, government
and international political leaders, such as U.S. Ambassador Mark 
Bristol, William Langer, Ambassador Layard, James Barton, Stanford 
Shaw, Arthur Chester, John Dewey, Robert Dunn, Papazian, Nalbandian, 
Ohanus Appressian, Jorge Blanco Villalta, General Nikolayef, General 
Bolkovitinof, General Prjevalski, General Odiselidze, Meguerditche, 
Kazimir, Motayef, Twerdokhlebof, General Hamelin, Rawlinson, Avetis

Bortnick, Halide Edip, McCarthy, W. B. Allen, Paul Muratoff and many

                      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.'
