Genocide - the only reason forcing Armenians to quit their homeland

PanARMENIAN.Net - Making Armenian and world scientists supporters of their insensible ideas and theories is just an extreme manifestation of impudence, David Davtyan expert-analyst of ANALITIKA.at.ua center said. By characterizing Armenians as emigrants, Turkish historian Kemal Karat contradicts himself, because the only reason that could force people to quit their homeland was persecution and extermination, i.e. Genocide.



"It is certainly difficult to discuss anything with a professor who makes such blunders, admitting in advance that he knows absolutely nothing about the matter concerned. It's hard to guess what goal he pursued, but the result is obvious. Any professor or specialist respecting himself should first of all realize what he is speaking about before proposing any theory or paradigm. Wartime resettlement of 1 million people should not be confused with a Wisconsin-Istanbul charter flight. Secondly, the professor didn't take pains to consider why Armenians had to quit their homeland which had been liberated of Islamic-Turkish yoke. Thus, Islamic history expert Kemal Kamar admits that there were mass killings of Armenians during World War I. But he lacked the courage to voice the matter and thus take sides with his colleagues recognizing Genocide," Davtyan stressed.





"In 1917, millions of Armenians emigrated from Ottoman Empire together with the Russian Army," University Professor and Ottoman history expert Kemal Karpat finds. The fact, according to him, is recognized by Armenian historians. "The exact number of migrants was calculated based on the total number of Armenians living in Anatolia," Turkish Milliyet daily quotes him as saying during a conference dedicated to 1915 events.
