According to another article, Spartek bought a restaurant, where a fight broke out during a memorial birthday service a couple years ago. Six people were shot in that fight, and four died.
So Spartek was trying to convince people in the Armenian community that it was safe to go back to his restaurant and they shouldn't expect anymore violence.
Spartek is going to have a tougher time making his case. As they say in Goodfellas "real greaseball shit." That's what all this is. Meatheads.
Geeze...no wonder the Turks thought it best just to exterminate them.
