NOW, HERE’s WHY THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT DENIES THAT THE TERM “GENOCIDE” APPLIES TO WHAT WAS DONE:

They claim there was NO DELIBERATE ATTEMPT to wipe out the Armenian population, that the move to deport them was a DEFENSIVE position after Armenians sided with Russians in the war, and that as many Turks and other Muslims as Armenian Christians died in the fighting.

Some historians, including western historians, agree, pointing to a recent history of Armenian nationalist and Marxist terrorism against the Ottoman Empire, in which numerous Ottoman officials and even Armenians who sided with the state were killed. They also claim that Russia expelled Turks from areas it conquered - and that many Muslims had also been killed and expelled in the Balkans as the Ottoman empire lost its European possessions like Greece and Bulgaria over the course of the 19th Century.

Everyone on earth has blood on their hands. It’s best to repent and ask for God’s forgiveness and “go and sin no more”.

e.g.

Indians
Blankets
Small pox
