This Is About Land

Bernard Lewis is a British-American historian who specializes on Ottoman history. He is probably the most famous and renowned historian to not label the Armenian deportations of 1915 as genocide. He has stated that to make [the so called Armenian Genocide], a parallel with the Holocaust in Germany was rather absurd.

"The deniers of Holocaust have a purpose: to prolong Nazism and to return to Nazi legislation. Nobody wants the 'Young Turks' back, and nobody wants to have back the Ottoman Law. What do the Armenians want? The Armenians want to benefit from both worlds. On the one hand, they speak with pride of their struggle against the Ottoman despotism, while on the other hand, they compare their tragedy to the Jewish Holocaust. I do not accept this. I do not say that the Armenians did not suffer terribly. But I find enough cause for me to contain their attempts to use the Armenian massacres to diminish the worth of the Jewish Holocaust and to relate to it instead as an ethnic dispute."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Lewis#Lewis.27_response_2

Why does Prof. Lewis, who has an extensive knowledge of Ottoman history, not see a parallel between the Holocaust and Armenian fiction. The reason is simple, anyone who has a simple understanding of 20'th century Ottoman history knows that a systematic genocide campaign by the Ottoman government was not carried out against the Armenians. Then why do Armenians insist on this genocide fiction? The answer is simple; Armenia is not self sustaining. It needs land to expand. That is why it has occupied its neighbour Azerbaijan and that is why it is using this genocide fiction to make Turkey give Armenia land under international pressure.

Harout Sassounian, the radical Armenian-American publisher of the California Courier stated recently, that the objective of the Armenians should be land reperations from Turkey and starts towards this radical process should be taken.http://www.tumgazeteler.com/?a=2425446

It is clear that the only desire of the Armenians is land reparations. Therefore, Turks should be made aware of this devious plot.
