You guys hiding behind American citizenship, trying to charge another nation for something that you did not even visit and see by yourself and keep doing the propaganda. You might have lost your ancestors but many Turks and Kurds lost theirs due to your slaughtering, bloody Armenian ancestor gangs. When those who destroy the villages, rape women, kill babies are charged with deportation, it becomes 'genocide' in your Book. Be honest and man stop weeping at the doors of your brothers. You killed people and your people were killed/deported in return, because that was a WAR. Come to your senses and ask these questions to yourselves;1- If Ottoman was all about destroying Armanians, was there a bigger power in the world in 1600s, 1700s, 1800s? Those years, Ottoman was on the rise but Why 1915? Why wait till 1915 and then try to wipe off another nation? Why share all the streets, plates and everything with Armenian neighbours? Why keep letting daughters and sons get married with Armenians?2- Mr. Joseph wants us to check Washington DC for the issues 1915. Was there internet at the time? Direct line between Ottoman and USA? For God's sake, Ottoman has even limited connection to its own cities and you are finding those in USA papers??3- MORE IMPORTANTLY, Adelina, if you are so much after your history, why don't you push your brothers in Armenia to open the historical resources? Why don't you push your Russian brothers to open their historical papers? You all know, Turkey opened it and it is WIDE open to all of you who want to research Armenian history in Turkey. No! Instead, you are after a 'genocide bill' to get billions of dollars out of Turkey's treasury in return of your so called losses. Who should Turks sue?? Armeani? Who did massacare only 15 years ago?I am sure you will not ask or answer these questions but I am writing to the history. Hopefully admins will be enough democrat and open minded to pusblish it.

How can we forgive and move forward when the Turks and most of the world do not know our history and our difficulty in survival. It really hurts when your own history is NOT recognized.

O' civilized world let me spit on your face.
