Firstly im new here so hello everybody
(turk karde$lerime londradan selamlar)
I was just browsing through the forum and I come across this thread and it actually made me laugh....
I love it when Greeks talk about genocide, ok, lets talk about Genocide
Firstly, since when the hell have greeks had anything to do with armenians? STOP LIVING IN THE PAST, we took Istanbul off you fair and square :-P
Right now, on a serious note, not taking notice of the Turkey flag up there ^^ im actually Turkish CYPRIOT, meaning im from CYPRUS. So, my idiotic greco friend lets talk about Genocide, since we're on this topic, lets move on 50 or so years from whenever the hell these horrible evil turks raped and murdered thousands of defenceless and innocent Armenians, why dont we talk about talk about Cyprus 1962? Hell, lets fast forward 12 more years to 1974 when things really became heated. How about the thousands of Turkish Cypriots who were rounded up, raped, tortured and then murdered by Greek Cypriots incited and armed by Greek Nationalists from Athens? Hmm, im sure plenty of the UK London users on this forum will no doubt agree with me that theres a hell of a lot of Turks in london, but why is this? Its because many turks (including my parents, who, at the age of 16 running away from their homes were shot at by Greek militia; and how about my Mums cousin, who was tortured by a Greek "police officer" for the mere fact hes Turkish.

ANYWAY, lets go back to whenever the hell it was my Turkish mainland brothers murdered this Armenians, you do realise that at the time Turkey was being on its West Coast by ANZAC and British Forces, on its East Coast by Arab Rebels led by Lawrence of Arabia and in its North by Russia, do you really think they had time to deal with Greek and Armenian rebels who chose THIS SPECIFIC time to start causing trouble in Turkeys interior? No. Thats why Mustafa Kemal ordered Turkish soldiers to round up these rebels and FORCE (yes force, lets not sugar cloud it now) them to move out of Turkeys borders, yes its unfortunate that many died but I assure you none of these fatalities was caused by "evil Neo-Turks just killing for the fun of it." Then again, these rebels shouldn't have been causing trouble, should they? They could have atleast waited until the war was over and had their say at the Treaty of Lorraine (which was actually quite harsh on the Turks anyway)
Thankyou for taking your time to read, oh and i look forward to your response
p.s. sorry to all you members who really couldn't give a f**k but Greeks in general are looking for reasons to hate
