For some reason the words "Anti-Semitism" being associated with Jews makes me laugh. If anything Anti-Semitism should mean discrimination against Arabs.

Its a fact of life that some people support Adolf Hitler, hate Jews or agreed with the Holocaust, could be Turkish, could be Russian Jewish immigrants in Israel, could be Europeans, could be Chinese or Africans. In free societies people need to accept that people might like people, groups or things that others would not and would find completely reprehensible. We shouldn't be prosecuting someone just because he or she likes a person that we might not like. We should bear in mind that this person is just a kid. Kids say stupid things sometimes.

I think if they want to be harsh they should only consider prosecution if he is actively encouraging the murder of people in Holland. Although I don't fully agree with that because its just words, he should only be prosecuted if he is actually planning the murder of people. Not for just saying a few words.

And we apologized for it and I have called those Kurds traitors to our people. Me and you are little different, we both are Hurrians with a different mother tongue.

We still live together and we have forged alliances recently such as ASALA and the PKK. Unfortunately, ASALA was dissolved.

Besides, why are you only blaming Kurds when the Kurds were the ones who were ordered by the Ottoman Emperor(s) to carry out their dirty work?

.

And I recognize that apology. It's better than nothing. Though our relations have been stained because of those "traitors" you talk of, though I think it was also more widespread, than just a few traitors, but a good portion of the population participating.

Well genetically, Kurds and Armenians don't cluster together, Kurds are closer to Iranians than to Armenians. Obviously, given we have been neighbours for some time there are similarities, but also Kurds have always lived south of Armenian Homeland, but in some point in history began to migrate more north towards Armenian lands.

I don't only blame Kurds. I think Kurds did a lot of the "dirty work" during the Armenian Genocide, and took opportunity to steal and kill many Armenians. Of course, I still hold Turks responsible for the crime, but that's not to say there were other actors in the crime that are too be blamed also.

So who gets awarded the Lake Van area? The Kurds or the Armenians?

Who are Armenians closest to? I've never read an answer to that question on forums, at least.

Hemsin if you count that as an other ethnicity.
