now you want to try to say that Armenians participated in the ottoman Empires massacres of other people? Dude are you serious?


Um yeah I'm saying EXACTLY that brockton...The Dadian family...ever hear tell of them? Oh they only supplied munitions for the entire Ottoman Empire. Calouste Gulbenkian was a key advisor for the National Bank of Turkey & the Turkish Petroleum Company. Artin Dadyan Pasha, who served as minister of foreign affairs from 1876 to 1901. In the 19th century, various Armenian families became the Sultan's goldsmiths, Sultan's architects and took over the currency reserves and the reserves of gold and silver, including customs duty. Sixteen of the eighteen most important bankers in the Ottoman Empire were Armenian.


So guns & ammo, oil & banking, oh and more banking....what else did the Ottoman Empire need to carry out atrocities?



And again I ask....who ended the Ottoman Empire? What armies stopped them? Hmm?
