Are Armenian dead more important than Turkish dead?

.....but freedom of expression is not the point. Ok, it may be a law of any country, and noone foreigner can change the laws of a state theoretically. We've got to accept everything as it is. But the point is the image of Switzerland's or any European country's best-selling image of "freedom", while performing this kind of legislation: Using a non-illuminated historical issue as a political attitude with ruling not to claim on the issue with denials or any other comments.

I beleive in freedom of expression, but...

Holocaust deniers are also punished in Europe. Why should it be any different for Armenian Genocide deniers? Soon, Germany will pass a motion officially recognizing the Genocide, and the Turkish Prime Minister is threatening Schroder.

By the way, Yusuf Halacoglu is not just some Genocide denier. He is the ''leader'' of all deniers...

Alparslan edit that post or translate it you could get banned.Anyway we did answer to switzerland.It is probable that the new TCK will contain a law that forbids saying that there was an armenian genocide under any economical proof.(which is anything)

and alparslan for you the exact translation would be;

bu sefer g�t�n� sikecez millet d��man�n

Freedom of expression !!!!!

We are asking them to reconsider their stance on the issue.

There was not an Armenian genocide. There is not an authority in Turkey to accept this. People will never accept it. Mission impossible.

Adamlarin Avrupa'ya girecegiz diye kicina girersek olacagi bu. Bu devlet satilmis adamlarin elinde onlar ne derse kabul mu edecek? Olan Turk milletine olacak.... Allah belalarini versin.

Bu Isvicre'ye hemen missilemede bulunmamiz lazim.

Turkish historian Yusuf Halacoglou is wanted by the Swiss justice because while giving a lecture in Switzerland, he refused that the Armenian Genocide ever happened.

According to Swiss law, refusal, or justification of Genocide or crimes against humanity are punishable with imprisonment of 1-3 years or by monetary fine.

The Swiss national assembly has recognized the Armenian Genocide in 2003. The Swiss district attorney has resembled the denial as similar to the denial of the Jewish Genocide.

Halacoglou has asked in the past to re-open the issue, fearing it may cause trouble in the future EU-Turkish relations. Recently, France and Holland have asked again from Turkey to reconsider its stance on the issue.

Artaxiad's whole point, from what i understand, was that you couldnt tell apart most Turks and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire because they dressed very similar. Therefore it would be difficult to differenciate between a dead Turk and a dead Armenian.

No, I said that one can not be able to differenciate... but who knows. 

After all I wrote, you are still convinced that a genocide didn't happen? What am I talking... You are a proud Turkish nationalist. And as we say it in Armenian, ''kayli avedaran ge gartam'' (I'm reciting the Bible to a wolf)

Are there any real differences between Turkish and Armenian bodies or bones? Turks, Kurds and Armenians used to wear similarly and looked alike. Armenian women back then did not look Christian at all. The Ottoman Empire had heavy Islamic influences, so the ''chador'' was imposed in the Asiatic part of Turkey. This means that if the body of a woman wearing a chador was found in a mass grave, one can not conclude that the body is from a Muslim... I can go on and on.

We cannot deny that the huge quantity of bones found around Deir Zor in Syria (which was a ''destination point'' for the Armenians who took part in the death marches) were Armenian. Even Bedouin Arabs remember all this.

Here are some other pictures of the Turkish protest in Washington. http://www.sarkissianmason.com/denial/
