Yes, that's correct: Most Alevi Kurds protected Armenians in their communities, even at the risk of their own lives. At some point, Armenians in those communities usually had to convert to Islam (or Alevism); it was done for their own safety, or in marital relationships.
Hadouken's ancestral hometown is in the Dersim Area. During the century old Armenian Genocide, Dersim was among the most defiant areas, in that they protected Armenians in their community, and refused to let them die, or be harmed. Dersim has been used as a highlighted example to make it clear that many Kurds didn't cooperate with the Young Turk agenda for the perpetration of genocide, despite that most of them did loot and kill.
I miss Hadouken, and I'd like to see him unbanned.
