Re: Armenian "genocide"

Of course!

This is why I do not agree with the term "genocide." If there was any "cide" of
anything, a better term would be "religocide," although I do not agree even
with that.

Just do an internet search to see that it is not only Armenians but also
Anotolian Greeks and Assurians who make claims to Greek or Assurian
"genocides."

What connects Armenians, Greeks and Assurians is their religion. They were all
Christians.

Look!

In my previous post, I never used the word Turk or Turkish, except in the term
"Young Turk."

There was a religous cleansing going on there at the time. It had nothing to do
with ethnicities.

And who we call Turkish are nothing but the Muslim-Ottomans who ended up living
within the borders of the country we call Turkey today.

I know this because I am one of them. I am not Turkish, I am a Muslim-Ottoman
or I was born as one.
