"Although it is not directly related to our research topic, we saw that #Armenians perpetrated atrocities against #Turks at every point we passed from Bitlis to Trabzon." ImageImage
"Although we were skeptical of the stories told to us at first, we were convinced after seeing the agreement in the statements of the eyewitnesses and the concrete evidence."

"After the Turkish army advanced in Erzincan, Erzurum and Van, all the soldiers who formed the regular and irregular units of the #Armenian army, which dispersed, damaged the property of the #Muslim people in the region and persecuted the people of the region." ImageImage

The Turkish Genocide of the Greeks in the Peloponnese begins...

When asked if the 1.5 million figure is accurate for the number of Armenians killed, Hovannisian said that numbers were not important. He said, "a whole nation died." He asserted that Armenians were moved and lost their way of life in their homeland forever.
