/www.interfax-religion.com/Russian archival documents show that not only Turks committed no genocide of Armenians in the Turkish Empire in 1915, but they themselves were subject to genocide by Armenian armed troops," Turkish scientist Mekhmet Perinchek stated.
"The Russian archives keep a lot of evidence which destroys the wide spread idea of the "genocide" of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 and at the same time testify genocide of Turkish population by Armenians," Mehmet Perinchek, author of the book Armenian Question in 120 Documents from Russian State Archives said at a press conference held in Baku.
He said he had found many documents, including reports of the Russian Tsar's army officers, evidencing genocide of Muslim population in Turkey and the Southern Caucasus, including Nagorno-Karabakh committed by the Armenian volunteer troops.
"I have collected 286 pages of court martial records on judgments related to members of such troops fighting as part of the Russian army and their acts of atrocity against Turkish people. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that such judgments were taken not by the court of Turkey or any Muslim counties and not even by the courts of Germany, a Turkish ally at the time, those were judgments by court martial of the tsarist Russia, an ally of Armenia," Perinchek stressed.
