John,
Once again links and paragraphs :) You know on the internet one can ultimately find links to anything. If you'd believe all of them there is a possibility one could even find a link that Hitler was an angel.

OK here we go with links then :

And extraction from only one of them

LET THE HISTORIANS DECIDE*

Prof. Dr. Justin Mc Carthy**

** Professor of History, Louisville University.

Last paragraph of his long text is below :

"Whatever or not such a commission is ever named, the study of the Armenian Question must continue. This is true not only because it is always right to discover accurate history. It is true because honour demands it. Honour is a word that is not often heard today, but a concept of honour is nonetheless sorely needed. I have been told by many that the Turks should adopt a political strategy to deal with the Armenian Problem. This strategy would have the Turkish Government lie about the past for present political gain. The Government would state that the Ottomans committed genocide, but that Modern Turkey cannot be blamed, because it is a different government. This, I have been told, would cause the world to think more kindly of the Turks. I do not believe this ultimately would satisfy anyone. I believe that calls for reparations and land would quickly follow such statement. But that is not the reason to reject such easy political lies. They should be rejected purely because they are wrong. I believe the Turks are still men and women honour. They know that it can never be honourable to accept lies told of their ancestors, no matter the benefits. I also believe that someday, perhaps soon, perhaps far in the future, the truth will be recognized by the world. I believe that the accurate study of history and the honour of the Turks will bring this to pass."

If you read up till here visit also (having turkish in site name it might be seen as one sided however even if that's the case even criminals should have right to defend) :
http://www.turkishforum.com/armenian/index.html

After reading each and every document there if you still say 'Yes you did it' I'll accept w/o a single further word.

>I'm sorry to hear that, especially since the Russian, German, British and American ambassadors as well as the Ottoman administrators who investigated afterwards, all filed reports that are available for review. for example:

>"The American consul, Leslie Davis, filed this report with the State Department. It is a detailed eye-witness report from an important place: a lot of caravans of Armenians sent on death marches passed through Harpoot plain. Davis actually goes on horseback to Lake Goljuk and finds thousands of bodies in various states of decay"

>How about some foreign Relief Workers who were right there:
>
>"In May 1922, four American relief workers, Major Forrest D. Yowell, Dr. Mark Ward, Dr. Ruth Parmalee and Isabel Harely were all expelled from their posts in Turkey because they too chose to do what is right, they protested the ongoing persecutions. Major Yowell said Armenians in his district were "in a state of virtual slavery," with "no rights in the courts."
>
>Dr. Ward quoted Turkish officials. One Turk declared: "We have been too easy in the past. We shall do a thorough job this time." Another remarked: "Why do you Americans waste your time and money on these filthy Greeks and Armenians? We always thought that Americans knew how to get their money's worth. Any Greeks and Armenians who don't die here are sure to die when we send them on to Bitlis, as we always choose the worst weather in order to get rid of them quicker."
>
>How about the Germans who were Turkish allies at the time, they'd have no reason to lie:
>
>"German Ambassador Johann Bernstorff wrote about "Armenia where the Turks have been systematically trying to exterminate the Christian population."
>
>What about the Turks who were there at the time? Well: The official Turkish gazette Takvimi Vekayi published the verdict of the post-war Ottoman trials of the responsible officials. The Turkish court ruled that the intention of the Ottoman leaders was "the organization and execution" of the "crime of massacre."

>I could go on and on and on... and perhaps they are all lying. But then there is another interpretation:

>"Those who today deny the Armenian Genocide are resorting to academically unsound revisionism, in order to prevent the moral act of remembering this crime against humanity. In the process, the deniers are doing a disservice to the majority of today's Turkish people."
