I dont know your nationality but wonder where you get that feeling that Turks have killed armenians or kurds.
Just for info: The total pop. of armenians in Anatolia back in 1915 was aroung 650.000(this is official armenian record) After ww1 the pop was reduced to 500.000. while Turkish pop reduced to 7.500.000 from 11.000.000
That was war, we fought all together and some died.

About kurds, do you know that: Since 1990 we lost more than 30.000 soldiers under kurdish terrorism? What kind of genocide is that, are we trying to kill ourselves?
