It does not matter how many scholars say this was NOT a genocide&#8230;for only the ones who believe it was genocide are heard! \u00a0It does not matter, how many documents have been found forged by Armenians, and how exagerrated their \u00a0stories are , nor how many Ambassadors their terror groups\u00a0have killed to bring attention to their cause&#8230;.the fact remains that\u00a0as human beings, an \u00a0average person is ready to condemn and hang any person who is accused of murder, even without any determinations made by a court or jury&#8230;.legal or not!! \u00a0In your book, you have collected hundreds of non-Turkish sources that have contradicted the events as being genocide, yet no pro-Armenian Historian has taken this into account or consideration&#8230;..These lies, propogandas and the greatest cover up in history by Armenians&#8217; atrocities against the Muslim and Turkish population will remain unnoticed, and &#8216;unproven&#8217; for generations, because no one in American Politics,and elsewhere in the world, \u00a0nor the Liberal Media,\u00a0has\u00a0 the guts to publically demand a fair investigation to the past!\u00a0 But \u00a0for this to happen, something else must take place first&#8230;Turks in the diaspora must learn to organize rallies and protests and be aggressive enough and LOUD enough \u00a0to bring attention to their views&#8230;..Only then,20will there be an\u00a0opportunity \u00a0to\u00a0receive \u00a0any kind of platform\u00a0 to speak their minds, present their views and point out the facts, &#8230;enough so, where Political leaders will be pressured to support and endorse an investigation of the past events.<\/p>\n<p>April 24th is approaching, where are the Turks?

The book was the result of some 50.000 pages of scanning in some 4-5 years!\u00a0 After its print, new documents have been discovered, (which you can all view at this blog site in the section of <em>Free-E-Books<\/em> or <em>Innocent Armenians<\/em>) and everything that has come up anew from <strong>Armenian, American and other anti-Turkish sources, <\/strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">reaffirm my first findings and comments in the book.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>My respected mentor Ara Baliozian, in one of his many most ironic essays, said: &#8220;<em>You cannot reason with the unreasonable&#8221;!<\/em> I believe that &#8220;most of the Genocide addicts&#8221; take a great satisfaction by this &#8220;victimization episode, which covers up the several errors of the past leaders&#8221; and gives the joy of being RIGHT!<\/p>\n<p>Well, unfortunately the &#8220;genocide brain washing&#8221; has been so successful that no one needs to ask his own conscience, &#8220;WHAT,\u00a0 IF I\u00a0 AM\u00a0 WRONG&#8221;?\u00a0 The cheers, shouting and writings are so many that the individual does not ask these simple questions:\u00a0 Any murder needs a cause or end benefit!\u00a0 Why should th e Turks kill Armenians who were in charge of some of the state offices, and almost all other professions, doctors, pharmacy, builders, tailors, groceries, traders and practically everything that makes money and superior?\u00a0 Were the Turks able to fill up all these professions all of the sudden if they had eliminated them? Therefore, the element of &#8220;cause&#8221; has no explanation. Likewise, any murder investigation needs few fundamentals such as:\u00a0 Date, time, place, numbers killed, murder tools, corpses, documents to prove such large-scale killings or at least neutral eyewitnesses with too many similar incidents at the same time, to arrive to such a conclusion. And after all these<\/p>\n<p>evidences are collected, we need a trial by an authorized tribunal, which is empowered with such an investigation, hearing the accusations and the defenses in the public.
