According to the Criminal Code of 1926, Article 163, there are severe penalties for those who:

"by the misuse of religion, religious sentiment, or things that are religiously considered as holy, in any way incite the people to action prejudical to the state, or form associations for that purpose... Political associations or religious sentiments many not be formed."

Most of this Armenian-Greek stuff is the wailing of those who are angry that Anatolia wasn't dismembered along ethnic and religious lines during and following World War One, and can be dismissed for empirical reasons. For example, the Turks are supposed to have killed more people than were actually living there at the time, and the numbers keep growing. The dead don't multiply themselves, despite Armenian protestations to the contrary.

No one denies the relocations, no one denies that there was dreadful human suffering, but for the sake of the memory of the dead, get the numbers right, at least.

So you're saying you don't think the Armenian genocide ever happened?
