Hello to everyone. I am Turkish and today is the remembrance day of the Armenian genocide. I know it’s a delicate subject that causes a lot of mistrust on both parties for each others’ rhetoric.

I really want to ask for sources that can be considered as proof past the point of he said, she said. We, as Turkish people, get told a lot of times that the parties that claim the genocide had happened are keeping the historical archives and ‘proof’ knowingly secluded and essentially turning the argument to Turkey to prove a negative.

I am trying to hear a lot from the Armenian side of the events and most of what I can find are the arguments which are past the point of accepting it happened, and at the point of what should be done.

When I hear number of casualties they tend to get exaggerated each time by both parties. Turks seem to reduce it each time Armenians seem to increase it each time.

Can someone provide some evidence or historical records of this organized mass eradication? I really want to know if we are getting indoctrinated with a nationalist lie or are the events are getting embellished to have a hold on global political gain.
