Who cares what people want? Erdogan certainly doesnt. His ambitions to transfer more power to his role as president are part of his wider plan to reverse all the progress that has been made towards Republicanism in Turkey over the past 100 years.

You people need to look up the definition of "genocide." Just because a great many people die in war doesn't make it genocide. Germany lost nearly two million people in WW I but nobody says that the British committed genocide upon them. The Removal Act wasn't designed to remove Indians from the face of the earth, but to transport them west of the Mississippi. This was an instance of eminent domain. The five tribes were given what is now the entire state of Oklahoma. The "Trail of Tears" was as much the fault of the Cherokee's leader, John Ross, as anything because he kept farting around rejecting offers and telling his people to stay put when he should have been outfitting them for the move.

Gee, isnt it strange how the media organizations of the democratic, civilized world portray him badly? Maybe if Western countries had press censorship and a culture of political intimidation like in Turkey things would be different. Guess we cant all be impartial in our views.

The Removal Act was signed by Jackson with him knowing from his cabinet that many Indians would be killed, he had intent of genocide, which is much the same when he tried to remove Seminoles by Florida but was denied by John Marshall and the supreme court to which he famously said "John Marshall has made his decision: now let him enforce it!"
Jackson had a deep hatred for the natives and intentionally wanted to kill them.

Can''t blame him, I haven''t done my research but iirc the land they were settled on belonged to them from a previous treaty, and John Marshal (supreme court judge) even ruled in favor of the indians but andrew idiot jackson didn''t care at all and challenged Marshal to "enforce" his decision. The history of Americans and Europeans not respecting their treaties with natives is very long.

I hope I''m not mixing up facts, I haven''t done my research recently this is just what I remember.

You do have a point, but what has to be considered in the differences in the societal and personal expectations that people had back then. Today, we are more likely to hold people accountable for their actions simply because we have less to fear than we did back in the mid 1800''s. Denying that the Indian removal act was not a an act of Genocide is ignorant. The act, in writing and direct affect, no so much intention, was very much like ones imposed by Nazi''s to move Jews into Ghettos in Warsaw and other places. While congress did not continue passing legislation to rid the states of Indians, like the Nazis did, the affects of the bill were still severe and horrible and shameful. Look at the American Indian community today: rampant crime and alcoholism. While we did not wipe the face of the earth of Indians, we did screw them for hundreds of years to come.

Today's crime and alcoholism on Indian reservations isn't the fault of the US government but of the reservation Indians themselves. I once spent a summer doing field research on and around Indian reservations and talked to several if the Indian farmers and ranchers there. Without exception they all said that if the alcoholics and drug users would get of their lazy butts and actually do something with their lives that they would do just fine. I also went to college with several Indians who said the same thing. The best thing that happened to the five tribes was to disband the reservation system in Oklahoma and split the land into individual allotments. My grandpa's dad didn't go get his allotment because he already had a thriving business but most of his cousins got theirs. My grandpa's mother's and father's family names are represented 40 times on the Dawes rolls. One cousin married a daughter of Jackson McCurtain. Look him up if you want to know who he was.

The US culture if not government directly introduced crime and alcoholism onto Indian settlement population. Before colonists arrived alcohol was scarcely used among Indians, and was never as strong as European brews. The natives initially hated the introduction of European alcoholism into their society' this was one of the major reasons the natives sided with the French against the British ( the British pushed alcohol on the Indians as the French felt a duty to not enslave nor intoxicate natives).

Armenians where fighting for separating "Armenia" from the Ottomans. Armenian freedomfighters also massercerd ppl and destroyed villages. The "genocise" happend in the end of Ottoman empire with enemies all over. The biggest enemy was England and the allies who devided the Ottoman empire into randomly new countries after ww1.
From Turkeys viewpoint it could look as protecting theyr borders. Im not saying it wasnt genocide - but there are more points to concider before making harsh dugdements

Tobacco was introduced to Europeans by Native Americans. Tobacco kills six million people a year, more than war.

http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs339/en/

Native Americans are more genetically predisposed to alcoholism though, this is a scientific fact.



Native Americans and Alaskan Natives are five times more likely than other ethnicities in the United States to die of alcohol-related causes. Native Americans are predisposed to alcoholism because of differences in the way they metabolize alcohol. http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh301/3-4.htm

However, alcohol was not unknown to Pre-Columbian America.

Alcohol beverages prior to White contact originated with the Mayan and the Aztec Nations and spread to the American Indians of the Southwest. Surprisingly, there are a number of accounts of alcohol use among other American Indians and Alaska Natives. Beverages were limited to wine and beer, and included: balche, pulque, and "haren a pitahaya" wines, tulpi beer and other beverages.

http://www.ucdenver.edu/academics/colle ... me%207/7(2)_Abbott_Use_of_Alcohol_1-13.pdf

Personally, I can attest to the fact that Native Americans have problems handling alcohol. The stereotype of the "drunk Indian" has a strong basis in truth. I once picked a dead drunk Indian up off of the highway near Winslow and took him to the Navaho Reservation so that he wouldnt get run over. When I finally found a place to drop him off, it happened to be a bar. I asked the girl at the counter if anyone knew the guy and she said, "Oh, thats my Dad, was he passed out on the highway again?"

It''s true though. I have some more stories from when I was in Arizona studying desert habitats too.

Once, I was driving down an almost unused road when I came upon a little old Indian man walking along carrying a suitcase. He wasn''t hitch hiking as he never indicated that he wanted a ride. I stopped and offered him one anyway. He was walking to a town 40 miles away, which he did every week to visit his daughter.

Another time, I ran across two Swiss 16-year-olds, a twin brother and sister, who were standing at a crossroads on the Indian reservation who knows how far from the nearest town. They had a little paper sign that read "Flagstaff." I asked them what they were doing literally in the middle of nowhere and they said that an Indian had offered them a ride from the Grand Canyon but then just left them there when he decided that Flagstaff was too far to drive. I drove them 80 miles to the Flagstaff airport. They had some type of Swiss-sponsored air pass that allowed them to fly anywhere they wanted to in the US for a month. I lectured them a bit on the differences between hitchhiking in America versus Europe. They invited me to visit their family in Switzerland but I lost the address.

The Armenian genocide per se is of interest only to a very few, the topic of genocide in general is relevant to all.

Does tobacco have anything to do with alcoholism or anything about Europeans pushing it on the natives? No. Digression.

Also, I had previously stated that the natives used weak alcohol, but, not in excess as European tradition taught them. They reserved it for special occasions.

Your personal stories you have been humoring is with for the past 10 posts have no place in a factual debate.

If everyone stuck strictly to the title topic, threads here would average about three posts. Remember that this isnt a technical, philosophy, history, political or science forum where people may wish threads to remain on topic for research purposes. The main purpose of an off topic section on a gaming forum is for cordial conversation. In conversations, the topic of discussion oftentimes changes.
