I am sorry

[Rædwald]

If I can be held responsible for the actions of my race, why can't I can't claim the accomplishments of my race as my own as well?

This sounds like some cultural marxist propaganda to me.

More and more good Turks like you are coming to terms with some of the dark pages of history. I hope more Turks can stop with the stringent denial. This has divided our people for more than 100 years or so - it's just too long. We need for our peoples and region to move forward. The people who committed this Genocide are long dead but the memories live on. Turkish War Tribunal even convicted the perpetrators for their crimes against humanity. Just a simple apology from the Turkish Government on behalf of the Young Turks that did this would do a lot for the two peoples.

Ataturk was a Donme.
You should get an apology from Israel.

[Longbowman]

Then I will say sorry to the Jews for what the German did and all of their persecutions in history too..........

Give me money.

[LightHouse89]

Are you Canadian?

Did not take any part in it, born after

Anyway, some of you live in me (literally), is all I can say

When do I get an apology? This thread is a disgrace.

[StonyArabia]

I thought you were a Tatar

You're sorry for what? You were born many many decades after the genocide and I doubt that you participated in it. If this thread is what it's about.
You can't be sorry for what your ancestors did.

I don't agree! The apology is quite appropriate, because it's a sincere gesture of goodwill and compassion. Whether ancestors are long gone doesn't diminish the statement of compassion, on behalf of those who didn't know better.

Besides, Present Day Turkey has invested hundreds of millions into a worldwide Armenian Genocide Denial Campaign, even to the point of blaming the victims for their own deaths. Genocide Denial Behavior serves to abet those whom perpetrated genocide, with fabrications and deliberate distortions of history. In an endeavor to sanitize and excuse genocidal behavior, Present Day Turkey is guilty of hiding the trails of guilt, which can unveil the Armenian Genocide (1915 - 1923). Genocide Denialism is alive and well.
