Turkish Armenian Relations

"The Armenian issue arose due to the governments of larger states creating and supporting these centrifugal forces in Turkey in order to weaken Turkey and make the process of colonisation easier." The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia According to Bagrat Artemovic Boryan (Rushian Historian), this is a defence of ones homeland. The ones responsible for the Armenian-Muslim killings are the Western Imperialists, the Russian Tsarists and the Tasnaks.

ARMENIAN REVOLT
While the tragic fate of Armenians in the World War I era has received a substantial amount of attention in news and documentary programming, the story of the Armenian Revolt -- the struggle against the Ottoman Empire to create a new Armenian nation -- has been almost completely overlooked. The Armenian Revolt: 1894-1920, tells the story of the Armenian revolutionary movement, and how it waged a civil war against the Ottoman Empire for 26 years. This program documents the historical facts of the Armenian Revolt, based on archival sources and commentary by Turkish, European and U.S. experts (including one Armenian scholar). The documentary will reveal how the Great Powers -- France, Britain and Russia -- bear a large historical responsibility in generating strife between Armenians and Muslims. These powers supplied money, arms and encouragement to the Armenian rebels in their struggle against the Ottoman Empire. However, the Great Powers "sold out" the Armenian nationalists at the Paris Peace Conference, and withdrew their support for a new Armenian homeland. This is compelling viewing on a subject that is still not resolved today. This documentary will shed light to reveal a balanced story in the challenge to find out the truth about this buried part of western history.
