A common misconception blames Turkish nationalism as the cause of Armenian massacres in Turkey; however, Turkish nationalism did not exist before the 1920s and sometimes Ottoman nationalism is confused with Turkish nationalism. Starting in the 1920s, Turkish nationalism was founded upon the determination of the Turks to survive World War I. The Sevrés Treaty and Sykes-Picot agreements were European Imperialists and Anti-Turkish Nationalist’s plans to divide the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

European Hypocrisy is a double standard on the founding democratic principals that European nations were founded upon. It is the suppression of certain view points because of the lack of knowledge of the view points. How does one value the free speech of one over the free speech of another? Will the European Human Rights Court fix the suppression of freedom in Switzerland and France?

Article 301 is a controversial article of law under the Turkish Penal Code. The article made it a crime to insult "Turkishness" before the April 30th, 2008 reform. It was introduced on June 1st, 2005 as part of law reforms. There has been more than 60 cases dealing with Article 301 violations, some of the cases were high-profile and attracted media attention. One of the most notable of cases was that of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist who had written newspaper articles criticizing Turkey as well as the Armenian diaspora.

The Toronto District School Board is still considering whether it will adopt a course teaching Armenian genocide claims to Toronto's 11th graders.

The TDSB (Toronto District School Board) made a decision to teach about the Armenian Genocide in a genocide class. There is a Genocide class introduced to the curriculum for 11th graders in Canada which will teach about the Holocaust, the Armenian Genocide, and Rwanda (For some reason, they find the Cambodian genocide and Darfur as less important). While the Canadian executive leadership has accepted the genocide, there is still some doubt in the position of the Canadian government on the issue; especially considering, that it was a political move to please Armenian-Canadians.

This was a resolution created by Democratic representative Adam Schiff, and was presented to the House of Foreign Affairs Committee who accepted it (27 vs 21 votes). It is a non-binding resolution that calls for foreign policy to recognize the Armenian Genocide as "fact" and to take necessary sensitivity precautions when discussing these events. The resolution was introduced on January 30, 2007.

Barack Obama has distanced himself from Turkey (a NATO ally since 1952, that the United States still has many bases in), Azerbaijan, Israel, and even the Iranian-Diaspora. He lost the Turkish, Azerbaijan, and Israeli votes when he tried to claim there was a U.S.-Armenian relationship and pledged to recognize a genocide that many world renowned historians such as Dr. Bernard Lewis, Dr. Stanford Shaw, Dr. Justin McCarthy, Dr. Norman Stone, Guenter Lewy and many other Western scholars dispute.

On October 27th 1999 at 5 PM, armed terrorists killed the Prime Minister and 7 other high ranking officials in an effort to eliminate political enemies of the terrorists. It is rumored that Robert Kocharyan was the mastermind of the attack.

The Armenian Genocide has a lot of misconceptions and many believe it to be true (due to propaganda), though most logical evidence suggests it wasn't a genocide but a complex vicious cycle of wars between civilian populations and turmoil in Eastern Anatolia while many Armenians died, we should acknowledge that Turks, Kurds, and other Muslims were killed as well with no involvement of the Ottoman Government. Many politicians regardless of their party have used this historical issue that's still under study by many historical researches, historians, and sociologists and is not settled yet, to grab some quick votes and receive in full the Armenian-American votes. Many debates have been proposed to Armenia by the Turkish government to once and for all settle the argument even though the Ottoman Empire had won this debate once before during 1918 in the island of Malta.
