He/she means "The Turks should be trialed for what they have done in 1915".

I know the genocide was in 1915, what's the 'trial' referring to?

Turkcyp, I'm sorry all the same, but I'm not interested in discussing it, as I know practically nothing about the issue. I was just wondering what the word 'trial' refers to. So, I shouldn't disturb you for more than one post. :wink:


I'm completely lost now... Can you ask the question is a less challenging way, lol.

oh I get it, you're asking about my signature? Why don't you just say so and save us all the trouble... lol, I believe it speaks for itself. It pretty much means acknowledgement, recognition, justice, etc.

No, actually that's NOT what I mean... I don't believe any Turk living in Turkey (or anywhere) today is responsible for what "Young Turk"government did back in 1915. What they are responsible for however, is the recognition of something so horrible and inhumane that took place 90 years ago in Ottoman Empire... What they're responsible for is mentioning it in history books... what they're responsible for is ending the denial... and most importantly stop blaming a couple of Armenians who helped Russians or whatever they say for the death of 1.5 million innocent people....

So no, I don't mean "Turks should be trialed for what they have done", because they haven't done anything except denying what the past government has done.
