Armenians claim that up to 1.5 million Armenians were victims of a genocide between 1915 and 1917. The Turks claim they were "ordinary" deaths from World War 1.

Some of the "intellectual leaders" of the Armenians were killed in public by hanging.



So what? Why should we care if they died from a genocide or from a war?


Because.... if we classify their deaths as a genocide, that leads us to the question, "Who within the Turkish government devised and supervised this genocide?"


And that could lead us to an answer!    Eric Hufschmid, 23 Oct 2007
