Actually, I wrote that I am towards forgetting 1915 incidents instead discussing it. But it seems that everyone thinks otherwise. Then let's continue.
It is a fact that tens of thousands of Armenian citizens died because of the attacks of some clans who were seeking for a revenge during the relocation of Armenians in 1915. However, there is no evidence that proves that Turkish state committed a genocide against Armenians. The evidences that are being presented are nothing more than the intelligence activities and war propaganda of Armenian organizations and the countries which were in a war with Turkey during 1915 incidents.
Especially nowadays some of our columnists mention telgraphs of Talat Pasha as the evidences of genocide, are long ago proved to be fake. You know those telgraphs in which Talat Pasha orders "Massacre everyone you see, including women, children and old ones," written in the Armenian writer Aram Andonian's book, finds its only audience in Turkey!
There is also no proof for the allegation that all the prisoners were freed and they were urged to massacre people. These allegations are being reiterated unconsciously, not even thinking that if it is possible. Well, we have the freedom of belief in this country. You are free to believe that the Turkish state committed a genocide against Armenians. On the other hand, you cannot distort the truths.
