What are the primary documents that Armenians cite as being proof of a genocide?

A brief examination of these will proove that these are all false.

1 - The painting by Visili Verashagov at the Tridiyagof Museum in Russia said to depist the massacres of Armenians during WWI: The painting was about the brutality of the German-Russian War between 1871-72.

2 - The British Blue Book by Toynbee: Info on this in previous posts which you still insist on not reading. It was written entirely by Armenians and Toynbee merely edited it.

3 - 40 Days on Musa Dag - This book was written to depict Nazi Germany but due to the political situation at the time in the author's (Franz Werfel) native country Austria, he picked the Young Turks as the subject of the book. The author himself confessed this before his death and this was also documented by Austrian historian Prof. Erich Fiegel. In fact the book infuriated Turkish Armenians which burned it in front of Pangalti Armenian Church in Istanbul on December 15th, 1935.

4 - Morgernthau's Memoirs - Refuted above but since your narrow mind can not take any further information about the realities behind Armenian allegations, I doubt you have bothered to read it anyway. Besides these are not official documents. The pfficial documents on this topic were written by American an Admiral named Bristol and verify the fact that Turks were the victims of attrocities at the hands of Armenians.

5 - Interview with Mustafa Kemal Ataturk by a Swiss journalist named Emile Hildebrand for the Los Angeles Examiner. No record of this person was found in neither the Turkish foreign office or the Swiss embassy. This person does not even exist. In fact the editor of the Boston Armenian Review, James Taschiyan, warned Armenians about the use of such false documents in an editorial he wrote.

6 - The telegram by Talat Pasha supposedly constituting a proof for his genocide plans. This telegram which is on display at the Armenian Genocide Museum is a terrible forgery. The telegram does not comply with the regular Ottoman encryption scheme of the time and was dated a year before it was supposedly sent. His signature on the telegram was an obvious forfeit and the Governor of the Aleppo Province Abdulhalik Bey had not even been appointed to that position at the date of telegram.

That straw man won't even stand up so you can knock it down.

None of those documents were ever used by the Turkish court who condemned the Turkish leaders to death for the Armenian genocide. Try again.
