Turks Decided to Encounter the Past: Gedikli victims massacred by Armenian chetes were commemorated in Iğdır

Turkey was silent for long years for the sake of peace and reconciliation. This silence was misinterpreted in the Western World by Armenian genocide allegers and their supporters. Allegers have some supporters in Turkey as well. This group who have a loud voice have caused misunderstandings too, and calls to admit that Armenians have been subjected to genocide on our lands have become stronger recently.

When you suggest this to a Turkish person from Eastern Anatolia the response you will get, accompanied by a wry smile, will usually be as follows: "They [Armenians] talk as if  whatever they have perpetrated on Muslims were perpetrated on them,"  and you will not be taken seriously. In the next sentence those who have lost their lives from the family will be named one by one. And details of mass killings will come later. There is almost no family, not affected by "Ermeni mezalimi = Armenian atrocities" as it used to be termed.

However, nowadays they have started to use the term "genocide" instead of "atrocities" or "massacres as well". Professor Michael M. Gunter says "Much confusion exists about what is meant by the term genocide because the word has come to have at least two different meanings, a precise international legal one and a non-legal popular one." According to Gunter, by the popular non-legal definition that equates genocide loosely with any large-scale killings, the Armenians suffered from large-scale killings or genocide. However, Gunter adds that "so did the Turks and other Muslims who were killed by ethnic violence during World War I. By this non-legal definition of genocide both Muslims and Armenians committed genocide against each other. To accuse only one side for this situation ignores what happened to the other and is patently unfair." Gunter concludes his article titled "The Definitional Ambiguity of Genocide: Its Implications for the Armenian Tragedy", suggesting to avoid conflating the two meanings in order not to dishonor the memory of those who so tragically died on both sides during WWI.

Are Armenians and other countries involved ready to face what they have done to Muslims?
