Genocides have happened be it the holocaust or the one in question or in the balkans /Rawanda and may happen in the future too.
What I do not understand is the need to make laws to establish their having happened or the resistance to the laws.
How can we ever move on if we remain stuck in the past ?
That's a good point, I think what's horrible about passing a law like the one the french senate passed is that they're only looking at it from one point of view, and completely ignoring the suffering of Turks in the hands of Armenian and the russian warband/army. They're pretending it doesn't exist, maybe it's because the allied west had declared war on the ottomans that they choose to ignore that fact. Perhaps that is also why Rwanda and Algeria isn't categorized as a genocide.
I see this as a good opportunity to limit the amount of import from France by playing this card right, and at the same time maintaining or raise export to France. It'd be very nice to have the turkish people feel that a national cause for an objective evaluation of a historic event has been politicized and abused, so they boycot french things.
At the same time we (azerbaijan) could pressure France out of the Minsk group because of this law as well, since Azerbaijan are Turkic descendants, they'll be more hellbent on this. We should also focus efforts to have other Turkic nations starte recognizing international attrocities committed by colonial powers.
Because I believe that it'll help keep some companies out and open the doors for others. (mostly ours).
Forummurat... dude slow down the propaganda machine.
