Resolve the Issue, Stop spreading Hate


*A bit more political than on the movie per se*

LOOK, Turkey has their archives open and they have asked on countless occasions for the Armenians to prove their claims and to come to Turkey and do a joint-investigation (proof: http://www.armeniangenocidedebate.com/gallery) Armenia on the other-hand refuses to open their archives, or prove anything they say..

That to me right there says a lot more about this 'issue' than any Armenian-sponsored and produced movie with a bunch of Armenian actors.

Not to mention that there actually are a lot of historians who disagree with Armenian claims, like Norman Stone, Bernard Lewis, or Standford Shaw, who had his house bombed by Armenians because he disagreed with them.
Then there is the census conducted by Marcel Leart (an Armenian) in 1913 that states the Armenian pop to be at 1 million (as does Encylopedia Brittanica 1910), which clearly means 1.5 million ppl couldn't have been killed..What I'm trying to say is that there are two sides to this story..

armeniangenocidedebate.com is an impartial academic site run by American professors, and I suggest that anybody who wants to get real, objective information on this issue check it out as it is far more legitimate than 'wikipedia' or any movie anyone makes..

But I think in the end what it comes down to is that Armenians need to stop their hate-campaign of racism against Turks (which sadly includes this movie), and simply accept the Turkish Gov'ts offer to settle the issue with concrete evidence

I know a survivor and the family of the survivor. It happened. So should we no longer discuss Hitler and Nazi Germany in order to not spread "hate"? Should we not discuss the killings of homosexuals in order to not spread "hate"?

From what I read, there was a german historian looking at the turkish archives. He was approached and ask to leave because the turks didn't like he had to say.
I seriously doubt that turkey has much in their archives that would self incriminate them. it wouldn't make sense for the turkish government to accept blame.
As for the armenian archives, what archives? The greek, armenian, assyrian people did not store archives. They were ordinary people and have been executed.
