The Armenians were privileged to be invited to the West due to their Christian faith. This proves to be a very effective demonization campaign, but unfortunately, the Armenians still rely on those documents as evidence. They were deported to other regions of the Ottoman Empire, because they would have been killed by their neighbors that looked at them as traitors and killers not to be trusted. The Armenians have first alleged that 300,000 died, this number moved up to 600,000 in the 1960s, to over 1 million in the 80s and recently, they have been pushing a 2.5 million number. I predict that they may shoot for 7 million to surpass the Jewish suffering.
Genocide is the new term.
For a long time, the Turks simply thought the Armenians were crazy to be pushing this 85 year old feud, now new revelations prove that they have 200 lawyers on this issue, and they are eventually seeking reparations. This of course is impossible, because then every Turk would want reparations and land and it would be a nightmare. For example, my family possessed over several hundred acres for several hundred years during Ottoman times and perhaps Seljuk times, but spent several decades trying to claim rights to 2-3 acres from the government. The sadness of this whole event is, Armenian kids for decades been bought up with hatred against a people they never really knew or met. Now, the massive Armenian hate campaigns are creating a backlash in Turkey, and the Turks are now digging into their old wounds, and realizing what the Armenians and Greeks had really committed.
