  2. Dear Edouard , there is no evidence about a genocide on armenians. Supported by Russians and French Armenians killed thousends of turks. They’re still continuing with genocide in caucasus.
    In the West you can find churches build by turkish Bones visited as tourist attraction. Don’t forget what happens in Syria, palestina since turks Left this Area.
