Re: Turkish politician fined over genocide denial

Quote:
1. Ottoman Empire was multinational and multicultural by definition.
Debatable. Unless you mean it ruled various nations and cultures


Quote:
2. Armenians were always of special importance and were called "milleti sidika" meaning the loyal people.
You bet they were special

Quote:
3. During the collapse of Ottoman Empire, Armenians sided with Russians and started massacres in Eastern Anatolia. I do know Turks who lost their grand relatives during these massacres.
Maybe Armenians were fed up of being "special" people? Like Pashosh said provide non Turkish links. And also prove that they were on a large scale

Quote:
4. The Ottomans obviously responded to these Amerian massacres but they overkilled, literally.
Some "overkill" it was

5. Europe has always supported Armenian views, including France who harbored the Armenian terrorist organization Asala in 70's and 80's.
I personally don't think much of French history. On the same note I don't think much of Turkish history.

Btw I also don't think much of any empire! By default empires subjugate conquered lands and apply one set of values/religion/culture on others.
