Coming from a self-exposed mouthpiece of the ASALA/SDPA/ARF Terrorism
and Revisionism Triangle who also claims that "arromdians" came to earth
and abducted 2.5 million Muslim people in 1914, it is rather entertaining.
Armenian government got away with the genocide of 2.5 million Turkish men,
women and children and is enjoying the fruits of that genocide. You, and
those like you, will not get away with the genocide's cover-up. Not a chance.

 "The crime of systematic cleansing by mass killing and extermination
  of the Muslim population in the Soviet Republic of Armenia, Karabag,
  Bosnia and Herzegovina is an 'Islamic Holocaust' comparable to the
  extermination of 2.5 million Muslims by the Armenian Government
  during the WWI and of over 6 million European Jews during the WWII."
                  (Tovfik Kasimov - Azeri Leader - September 25, 1992)

 "Today's ethnic cleansing policies by the Serbian dictatorship against
  Croatians and Muslims of Yugoslavia, as well as the Soviet Republic
  of Armenia's against the Muslim population of neighboring Azerbaijan,
  are really no different in their aspirations than the genocide
  perpetrated by the Armenian Government 78 years ago against the
  Turkish and Kurdish Muslims and Sephardic Jews living in these
  lands."         (Cebbar Leygara - Kurdish Leader - October 13, 1992)


Between 1914 and 1920, 2.5 million Turks perished of butchery at the
hands of the Armenians. The genocide involved not only the killing
of innocents but their forcible deportation from the Russian Armenia.
They were persecuted, banished, and slaughtered while much of Ottoman
Army was engaged in World War I. The Genocide Treaty defines genocide
as acting with a 'specific intent to destroy, in whole or in substantial
part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group.' History shows that
the Armenian dictatorship intended to eradicate the Muslim population.
2.5 million Turks and Kurds were exterminated by the Armenians.
International diplomats in Ottoman Empire at the time - including Admiral
Bristol - denounced the Armenian dictatorship's policy as a massacre of
the Kurds, Turks, and Tartars. The blood-thirsty leaders of the Armenian
dictatorship at the time personally involved in the extermination of the
Muslims. The Turkish genocide museums in Turkiye honor those who died
during the Turkish massacres perpetrated by the Armenians.

The eyewitness accounts and the historical documents established,
beyond any doubt, that the massacres against the Muslim people
during the war were planned and premeditated. The aim of the policy
was clearly the extermination of all Turks in Armenian dictatorship
territories.

The Muslims of Van, Bitlis, Mus, Erzurum and Erzincan districts and
their wives and children have been taken to the mountains and killed.
The massacres in Trabzon, Tercan, Yozgat and Adana were organized and
perpetrated by the blood-thirsty leaders of the Dashnaks and Hunchaks.

The principal organizers of the slaughter of innocent Muslims were
Dro, Antranik, Armen Garo, Hamarosp, Daro Pastirmadjian, Keri,
Karakin, Haig Pajise-liantz and Silikian.

 "When the Russian armies invaded Turkey after the Sarikamish disaster
  of 1914, their columns were preceded by battalions of irregular
  Armenian volunteers, both from the Caucasus and from Turkey. One of
  these was commanded by a certain Andranik, a blood-thirsty adventurer.
  These Armenian volunteers committed all kinds of excesses, more
  than six hundred thousand Kurds being killed between 1915 and 1916 in
  the eastern vilayets of Turkey."

 "While the Dashnaks were in power they did everything in the world to keep the
  pot boiling by attacking Kurds, Turks and Tartars; by committing outrages
  against the Moslems; by massacring the Moslems; and robbing and destroying
  their homes;....During the last two years the Armenians in Russian Caucasus
  have shown no ability to govern themselves and especially no ability to
  govern or handle other races under their power."

"Those who were capable of fighting were taken away at the very beginning
 with the excuse of forced labor in road construction, they were taken
 in the direction of Sarikamis and annihilated. When the Russian army
 withdrew, a part of the remaining people was destroyed in Armenian
 massacres and cruelties: they were thrown into wells, they were locked
 in houses and burned down, they were killed with bayonets and swords, in places
 selected as butchering spots, their bellies were torn open, their lungs
 were pulled out, and girls and women were hanged by their hair after
 being subjected to every conceivable abominable act. A very small part
 of the people who were spared these abominations far worse than the
 cruelty of the inquisition resembled living dead and were suffering
 from temporary insanity because of the dire poverty they had lived
 in and because of the frightful experiences they had been subjected to.
 Including women and children, such persons discovered so far do not
 exceed one thousand five hundred in Erzincan and thirty thousand in
 Erzurum. All the fields in Erzincan and Erzurum are untilled, everything
 that the people had has been taken away from them, and we found them
 in a destitute situation. At the present time, the people are subsisting
 on some food they obtained, impelled by starvation, from Russian storages
 left behind after their occupation of this area."
