Good for you that you deny Turks' role in the Armenian genocide, which if you do otherwise, will land you in a Turkish jail.
Good holocaust denier, like Turkey's new friends in Iran who deny the Nazi Holocaust.
The Ottomans were in non-stop war, way before WW1 even started.
The Brits wanted the oil-fields of Ottoman vilayets in Mid-East.
The Russians exponentially rising in power, wanted access in the Mediterranean for their Navy through Turkish controlled Bosphorus Straits.
Like the Brits did with Arabs, Russians (Orthodox) used Armenians (Orthodox) for revolt within Ottoman Empire.
Russia played patron for Orthodox world, this was already visible in Russian-Turkish War of 1878, when countries like Orthodox Romania gained their independence as a direct result of this war.
Russo-Turkish War (1877?1878) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Armenians were Orthodox, were working for independence with Russian assistance.
When WW1 came, Russians marched through Caucasus into Eastern Anatolia. A region populated with Ottoman-Armenians. It was a battlefield area. The Armenians of that area were relocated into Syrian desert to make the battle-zone clean of any disadvantages against the Russians.
As long as the Armenians pretend, that they are victims in similarity to what has happened to German Jews, there will be no discussion.
Turks ruled over Armenians since 1071 with Manzikert Battle against Byzantine Empire.
So, after 800 years, Turks one morning wake-up from sleep and decide to deport Armenians into Syrian Desert just for fun ?
If we were Hitler-style we would have genocide them beginning in 1071.
They (Armenians) shall admit, that during the last period of Ottoman Empire (dissolution) they chose to side with the enemy, whilst loyal Ottomans were fighting in battles from Yemen to Balkans.
German Jews did not try to revolt against Germany, nor did they collaborate with an outside enemy, nor did they seize Central Bank of Germany nor did they attack the Kaiser.
As long as they avoid to vouch for their own actions and pretend Turks have sent them to Syrian Desert just for fun, there is no real basis for discussion.
