There are some questions waiting answer(to see if there is a equal/suitable/valuable/humanist approach for reaching truth in modern days) that i asked to "captured Joe". They are the questions in this subject.

From the way he is building his argument it is entirely possible.
I am not sure what the question here is... You're looking for my arguments? Well:I'm OK with carrying all arguments to universal/valuable court. If you have arguments go for it. Lets see the truth.
But, are you sure you want that? Will you do same thing for all arguments?
&
What will you do if the truth is applying the argument positively(genocide is there)?
&
Do you bring arguments to court for goodness of humanity/preventing futurewar crimes?
Joe?
The Seyfo or Sayfo (Syriac: ܣܝܦܐ [ˈsajfoʔ] lit. 'sword'; see below), also known as the Assyrian genocide or the Syriac-Aramean Genocide, was the mass slaughter and deportation of Syriac Christians (mostly belonging to the Syriac Orthodox Church, Church of the East, or Chaldean Catholic Church) in eastern regions of the Ottoman Empire, and neighbouring regions of Persia, committed by Ottoman troops and some Kurdish tribes during the World War I. Considered a genocide by several scholars, it occurred concurrently with the Armenian and Greek genocides.
According to historian David Gaunt, a primary characteristic was the total targeting of the Assyrian population, including farming villages as well as rebelling mountain tribes. The killing in rural regions was more extensive, while some survived the massacres in cities; Gaunt states that this indicates that a primary aim was the confiscation of land. The property, villages and animals of the villagers were destroyed totally to prevent their return. Gaunt states that organized troops were tasked with killing and expelling Assyrians in Hakkari and Ottoman-controlled parts of Persia, as well as resisting villages. There were also deportations of Assyrians.
Percy Sykes, a British officer in Persia, wrote that the Assyrians would have been exterminated if they had not fled to Persia. However, starvation, disease and fatigue cost the lives of 65,000 more Assyrians on their way to Persia or once they had arrived there, according to Christoph Baumer.
When even your military allies acknowledge you're commiting several genocides while still at war...According to a German military attaché, the Ottoman minister of war Ismail Enver had declared in October 1915 that he wanted to "solve the Greek problem during the war … in the same way he believe[d] he solved the Armenian problem", referring to the Armenian genocide. Germany and the Ottoman Empire were allies immediately before, and during, World War I. By 31 January 1917, the Chancellor of Germany Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg reported that:
The indications are that the Turks plan to eliminate the Greek element as enemies of the state, as they did earlier with the Armenians. The strategy implemented by the Turks is of displacing people to the interior without taking measures for their survival by exposing them to death, hunger, and illness. The abandoned homes are then looted and burnt or destroyed. Whatever was done to the Armenians is being repeated with the Greeks.

If you dont want to find truth at court(which is valuable for all), or if you onlywant to focus on one argument(which can be truth or not) > then you are also doing same.
I hope you can understand that horse goggles preventing all's goodness, and you cant find good solutions to problems just as supposed to be in modern days.
@Captured Joe questions not answered. You should read all my responds for the questions & consider the matters better with questions for the common future. I hope you get what things i tried to say from all my responds. And, thanks for the other two arguments, (as always, and everywhere, courts needed for all genocide arguments indeed), ill keep them in mind, and ilk try to see what locals say in historical videos.Btw, i think that i wrote enough about this subject. Questions' answers(each of them) important to identify problems, take lessons & make better future all together.. If you just want to stay in a side, and go behind an interest for yourself.. That's just a popular politic.
Hopefully, there will be a well prepared court that -all- sides meet & truth become clear(whatever it is + or - ).
I guess "childish" is okay? And for the poor English, "incomprehensible" would be the forum-approved word.Though I'm going to assume he is not actually a child, remember that attacking someone for their age is against the rules, as is mocking someone for their aptitude with English.
His English aptitude is not what I meant when I said "the way he is talking", I am not a native speaker myself and make mistakes all the time. I mean that his logic makes no sense whatsoever which is part of why I am getting frustrated. But point taken, and I am probably getting more worked up about this than it's worth anyway so I will see myself out now.Though I'm going to assume he is not actually a child, remember that attacking someone for their age is against the rules, as is mocking someone for their aptitude with English.
I cant tell all stuff. There are many strong evidences as i hear. I think(just my idea) the base argument is related with riot & relocation in war times. If i dont get it wrong; in the event of war, the riots encouraged by Russia in the eastern lands, and the mutual bad events occurred together with these riots, and the state moved the Armenians that made the rebellion out of the borders.I'll bite.
What do these Turkish historians have that directly disproves the Armenian genocide and why does their opinion outweigh the world, whom have a long list of evidence? What evidence could these historians have that hasn't managed to convince the world? It seems like all you want to do is deny it all without explaining why you think the Turkish government isn't lying about the genocide—except being rather insistent these historians harbor some grand evidence to prove innocence yet won't share it with the world and that no one should hold Turkey accountable unless some world court does. Which is ridiculous.
Oh for crying out loud. Here is a list of international actors that have already officially put their weight behind recognizing the genocide for what it is, and this is just a quick list from Wikipedia.
The United Nations
The Catholic Church
International Association of Genocide Scholars
International Center for Transitional Justice
European Parliament
Council of Europe
American Jewish organizations
Central Council of Jews in Germany
European People's Party
World Council of Churches
European Green Party
Mercosur Parliament
Latin American Parliament
Interparliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy
European Alliance of YMCAs
Andean Parliament
Centrist Democrat International
Central American Parliament
Global Greens
Permanent Peoples' Tribunal
Presbyterian Church (USA)
Pretty much every country in the world except for Turkey, you can see a map on Wikipedia. Kurds even admitted their role in it and officially apologized.
Who exactly do you suggest would pass judgement on Turkey in this imaginary tribunal of yours? There is not an international actor that would not recognize the genocide for what it is, because they all already have. I can not comprehend why on Earth y'all are being so stubborn about this. Like your government, I get it. You as individuals I absolutely do not. I can understand not wanting to openly admit that it happened since you could actually get in trouble over it, but why you are wasting so much time and energy defending the denialist position in this pointless discussion is beyond me.
I'm fine with lil-adjectives unless they are too heavy. You can call me child. If you go an universal court to identify if its available or not; i can see them as liar(or not).Maybe the hard part forchildrenextremely youthful persons like dijiTurk is that they'll have to accept that the authorities in their lives deliberately lied to them - the schools, their dear Leader, their historians -

Dont forget. This is not an offical respond. Only officals can answer questions.
Again, i'm not the one that has evidences. And, the place is not here.Again. Provide the evidence, whatever you do have. If you do not know what any of the evidence is, that makes your stance even more of a joke, because you are refusing to admit the Armenian genocide happened based on literally nothing.
No, not only your officials can answer these questions. Your government has mind whipped you so hard it's ridiculous.

However, this book may have some evidences:

No, because that man's work is known to be inaccurate. I wouldn't be interested in someone who is not known to produce quality nor would I find his work intriguing. On the contrary, I'd avoid it.Interesting?![]()
