The Thriller Good job teacher, I like your posts.
I'm a Turk but I'm gonna say the thing you prolly wanna hear the least. Then you can start attacking my false claims because I am a barbaric genociding Turk. Armenians were called a minority in those times. God damn politics. Naming people and ****. They were called common folk, like the Kurds of the area, before all the nationalism era hit the stage. Everyone cared for their own biz. No one killed no one because they are Muslim or non Muslim. Then some international strategic political stuff happened which included UK's and Russia's manipulation over Armenian population and all of a sudden, Armenians were starving to form their own country and state in East Anatolia. As Thriller said, Kurds were not fond of any of that, even though they were to folllow in the means of "Hey man we are a separate nation, let's bail on Turks and form our own" motto. By that time the Emprire was mainly ruled by a soldier-bureaucrat party and they were socialized and trained in parts of Europe in which they all experienced the Western thoughts of the era. That was led by nationalism. United Nation notion. So when Armenians formed their gangs, the government tried pressuring it, and it became a **** throwing battle after some point just like it is in most situations like Kurds and Turks today. You know it's really stupid to even say it, these people are not one race, they are all mixed, **** I wouldn't even tell the difference between an Armenian and a Turk they are all hairy dudes with beer bellies.
But when the forced immigration of the Armenians started, the militia started hitting the soldiers of the Empire. So it went worse. Terrible conditions, terrible events, ****ed up psychologies, countless tragedies. Since then the Armenians always had done a good job in lobbying and making sure every country sees the history as they tell them. Turkey doesn't give enough effort to change it so they are the ones to blame. Our historians just say "C'mon let's clash our sources!" but nothing happens.
I seriously hate the issue. I know that a lot of generations in Armenians descent learn to hate us. And I feel terrible for it. I wish there was a chance to wipe everyhing away and judge each other for not being Turkish or Armeanian, but as human beings, our deeds.
