Melvyl:
Kurdish bandits? And for the rest, a small admissison that mistakes were made? That's better than nothing, I guess. In a part of the world where Armenians had been for over two thousand years, they were wiped off the map. It doesn't matter why. And as to whether it was Genocide, you have no better authority than Adolph Hitler, who claimed the Turkish massacres of Armenians as his model for the Shoah.
Compare this to the section you were commenting on:
Broker:
I disagree with Elli's claim that the Armenian genocide is just an Armenian fabrication. There is a real, tragic historic event. A combination of Ottoman military and Kurdish bandits (acc. to most sources I have read, happy to share) brutally killed many Armnenians.
Is there a disconnect here? Broker clearly didn't say that there was no genocide; it seems to me to be quite the opposite. The same with your "mistakes were made" comment. Have I walked into a more-indignant-than-thou contest? If so, then you win.
Yay!
