Why are there piles of bones due to the Armenian genocide in Turkey unprotected and disgraced?  It was a massacre at the hands of Muslims and its not only denied but the graves are not even cared for or even acknowledged in some cases.  wtf?  I mean this was the same thing that hitler did.  It has been claimed hitler used this example as a blueprint for what he did to the jews.  The US is just as bad for not calling it genocide also.  Even Obama is hiding under the blanket.

1. the US doesn;t want to upset relations (which is a bogus excuse, but Turkey is an important strategic partner and stuff)
2. It wasn't perpetrated by a government related to modern Turkey. It'd be like blaming Sarkozy for the massacre of the Huguenots on St. Bart's eve, or the Mongolian government for Attila and Genghis. Or the British for thei actions against the Afrikaners...the list goes on, so who would you blame?

well, it was not the same thing that hitler did. it was also genocide but the shoah, the industrial, technically perfected mass murder of 6 mio jews is still another level.

and i strongly doubt that hitler used the armenian genocide as a blueprint for the holocaust. i've never heard of this connection

but still, it's a shame turkey doesn't acknowledge the genocide

The CUP was responsible for the genocide.   The CUP is still a part of Turkish politics today under a different name

I was all ready with a stuffing recipe.


I agree with the OP and also am curious why we get little thanks for stopping the slaughter in Albania.

Ataturk came afterwards, in a revolution against the Ottomans. As such, there is no direct succession between the two regimes.
That being said, I still believe that Turkey should accept the fact that its people committed the atrocities.

@ATG: what does Albania have to do with this?

It doesn't matter what government currently runs Turkey.  It was still a genocide, and the fact that you can be prosecuted there for declaring it as such proves that the Turks still don't have a clue about free speech or human rights for that matter.

Of course, their human rights issues are most obvious when looking at how they treat Kurds.

Those aren't Muslims, in case you didn't know. Bosniaks are the Balkan Muslim people, and NATO/US/the West failed miserably at protecting them. Ever heard of Srebrenica?

No, it's mostly ended. Otpor's actions against Milosevic in 2000 ended persecution of the Albanians. The USA, conversely, bombed Serbia. Which made about as much sense as invading Afghanistan to stop al-Qaeda.

The Bosniak genocide, for its part, ended because the Serbs were beaten by the Croats and northern Bosnians. The Dayton accords only stopped the vengeful slaughter of Serbs. Nobody from the West ever intervened in that conflict itself. Actually, that's a lie. A french helicopter and a US F-18 were shot down, and a Dutch brigade were forced out of the UNDPAs.

I say his justification for war was only barely stronger than Bush's re: Iraq. I think he was more misguided than lying, to be honest. His spearheading of Dayton accords proves that. However, you have to consider that he didn't actually go to war per se; it was mostly an aerial campaign for the US, followed by an interminable peacekeeping mission.
