A lot of Turks and other muslims died during and especially after the Genocyde.

There is a statue in Turkey to Talaat Pasha and the other Founding fathers of the modern Turkish state. The inscriptions don' say so, but the Turks know what these people did. They got rid of all those bad Armenians, and other Cristian scum. So, they deserve adoration. And of course, the Turks can point to massive Muslim population losses about the same time as the caravans were being robbed and butchered. They say that the Armenians must have killed them.

Even an inexperienced forensic investigator can tell you that it is untrue. The Armenians were already dead and destroyed. When the Turkis authorities decided to exterminate the Christian population in order to rob it and finance their campaign to take over Turkey, they did not realize that by eliminating the merchants and the producers of food stuff, that a general famine would occur all over Anatolia. There heroes killed more good innocent Muslims then the Christians that they were after. Now why deny this. Because great wealth that was stolen was not distributed evenly among the population, it was kept by the few leading families leading the operation. If freedom was ever to come back to Turkey, and someone were to do a study, they would realize this. Therefore the Article 301 to stop all discussion.

What is even worse, is that if the genocide was to be admitted, and Armenians were allowed to return, Turkey would be "lucky" to get 50,000 to return. If 50,000 entrepreneurs were to return, each with a million dollars in assets and capital, Turkey would have such an infusion of capital, that would not have to beg for dimmi money every ear, and kiss Western butt for it, as its people suffer. These people who force a regimen of hate on the country towards it's Armenian people, are the real traitors to Turkish State and economic welfare. Lastly, Armenians love the land. The land that you now inhabit is big enough for all Armenians in the world to come back to, and you still would not notice. We love the land. Three generations later, and my family still speaks Turkish and dreams of returning. Not to punish or recover, but to work and build. Let your children come home, we would all be better off from it.
