Re: Armenian "genocide"

I agree wholeheartedly. What does "Armenian genocide by Turks" mean? None of
the words in this definition is appropriate. It was not just Turks who were
involved in this, although there were also ethnic Turks among the involved
parties, it was not just Armenians who were massacred, altough they made up the
majority of those who suffered, and what happened had nothing to do with
"genes."

You see, the rules of the game are set by the "winners." The task of the
"losers" should be to change the rules to their advantage as best as they can.
If you play the game according to the rules set by the "winners," it is
guaranteed that you will continue to lose.

Best,

Sabri
