Minorities In The Ottoman State And Armenian Question According To Archives

III- CONCLUSION

It is obvious that history is full of unbelievable exile and massacre events. The attempt of Russia - who exiled hundred thousands of Crimean Turks to Siberia, forced hundred thousands of Muslims in Caucasians to change their religion and exiled them to Anatolia both in 1978 and in World War II and who eliminated more than three million people after 17 October Revolution- to lecture other countries on topics such as exile, massacre and genocide results in a great contradiction.

The experiences of the people killed in American Indians camps with defenseless children, women and old people and the American Indian Tribes who had been left to poverty, hunger and death in America have not been explained explicitly up to date. People were used as slaves because of their color of black, hundred thousands of civil people were eliminated with atom bomb in World War II, again hundred thousands of people were eliminated with napalm bombs and other weapons in Vietnam by the Americans. Nobody could account for the collective murdering of the South American natives. Europeans having conducted such and similar genocides claim that all had been for the purpose of providing civilization and religion to the faithless natives with privileged, wild and under developed life styles and try to justify themselves against history.

It has not been forgotten yet that Australian Native Aborigines had been systematically eliminated, English and French colonist who shared Africa among themselves changed the religious and languages of Africans by force, punished those who resisted by exiling them to other locations or collectively killing them. The same colonists had started the trade of African slaves and lead to death of hundred thousands of blacks due to traveling, bad life conditions, works of unbearable loads, rebellions, escapes and similar reasons.

All history books wrote what happened to hundred thousands of people who resisted against English in Sudan and India. Moreover, 400 000 Irish died of hunger as a consequence of the food embargo imposed on Ireland by English between 1849- 1851. Again, Irish population of 8 million had decreased a half between 1841- 1911 as a result of the oppression of England.

The whole Europe knows as mush as Italians that Italians who were running after lands of Africa that it can colonize killed the people of Abyssinia with gas bombs who resisted against them and tried to surrender them.

As the suits of the tortures and massacres by French colonist against the Algerians who were demandin'g independence are still continuing and collective burials are revealed in various locations of the country. French who try to evade this issue with ignorance. make the statement with the words of their Prime Minister Lionel Jospin "let's leave the assessment of what happened in Algeria to the historians". The number of independence demanding Muslims killed by French only in Algeria and Tunisia is more than 1 million.

Armenians have to comprehend that the countries trying to have the Armenian claims accepted by imposing oppression on Turkey in every platform are in the effort to have their liabilities of the experiences in the past forgotten , to investigate what these countries did to people living under their colonies and whom they have surrendered and how they are currently impeding the relations between Turks and Armenians and damaging Turks.

Turks are treated with prejudice on the issue of Armenian question. International promotion is so much significant in the elimination of this prejudice. The facts that archive documents are not made available to international researches in Internet media, the lobby activities are insufficient in terms of quality, low number of works on this issue and translated in several languages have led to the facts not being duly explained to the public opinion in the world. To turn all arrows towards Turkey with diverting the history is the greatest injustice of the countries claiming to be the defender of human rights. Exerting efforts to have such ungrounded Armenian claims accepted by Turkey by imposing oppression is thought- provoking. History and truths will one day interrogate those who try to divert them.
