“ There is no evidence of a decision to massacre. On the contrary, there is considerable evidence of attempts to prevent it, which were not very successful.
Yes there were tremendous massacres, the numbers are very uncertain but a million may well be likely,[24] ...[and] the issue is not whether the massacres happened or not, but rather if these massacres were as a result of a deliberate preconceived decision of the Turkish government... there is no evidence for such a decision.[25] ” Lewis thus believes that "to make [Armenian Genocide], a parallel with the Holocaust in Germany" is "rather absurd."[24]
In an interview with Haaretz he stated: “ The deniers of Holocaust have a purpose: to prolong Nazism and to return to Nazi legislation. Nobody wants the 'Young Turks' back, and nobody wants to have back the Ottoman Law.
What do the Armenians want? The Armenians want to benefit from both worlds.
On the one hand, they speak with pride of their struggle against the Ottoman despotism, while on the other hand, they compare their tragedy to the Jewish Holocaust. I do not accept this. I do not say that the Armenians did not suffer terribly. But I find enough cause for me to contain their attempts to use the Armenian massacres to diminish the worth of the Jewish Holocaust and to relate to it instead as an ethnic dispute.[26] ·
The more idiotic resolutions passed from western countries the farther Armenia and Turkey is gonna be from a real solution.
Turkey has been suffering from a terrible terror problem while it is trying to survive as a secular democracy in the middle of the most problematic geo-politic territory of the world, surrounded by Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Russia the countries that US considers threat from 7,000 miles away! Turkish public is full of anger and frustration than ever. And western world keeps pushing Turkey to the dark side of the divide everyday.
If US and Europe lose Turkey to Iran-Russia Inc this will not be the best interests of US, Turkey and Armenia. · the events in 1915 were tragic events, both for Turks and Armenians living in Turkey at the time.
