>As your learned professor was not actually there at the time, I'm afraid his opinions do not counteract the reports of those who were there and had no obvious reason to lie. German diplomats had good reasons *not* to say these things, but they still protested. The American ambassador went on a horse and photographed thousands of decaying corpses. Even the Ottoman investigators concluded it really happened.

>Re the Armenians: Nobody is saying that the Armenians were snowy angels, they sided with the invading Russian army and attacked turks in towns overrun by the Russians. Not good. By the mores of the day, Turkish response was hardly unique- Russia was ruthless with those who sided with the germans during the early WWII invasion and collaborators in Scandinavia and europe were mauled. But nobody thinks the worse of Russia in 2003, or of France for shaving, raping and torturing women who had children by the dreaded germans, to say nothing for what the poor kids got: And nobody thinks the worse of 2003 Turkey, or of 2003 Italy because the Romans systematically wiped out the druids and fed christians to lions. It's history, we learn from it, we make sure we never participate and our children never have to experience it.
