It has been some time since I last updated the Armenian Genocide Archival section and I sincerely apologize for the lack of new archival material due to time constraints.
Recently, I've added a new German Archives section with reports from German consul Walter Rossler and the Ambassador to Constantinople.

The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law that infringes on the freedom of speech or freedom of the press. This is an important rule that restricts the government from suppression of ideas. However, the constitution can only control the government and speech continues to be restricted in society under the guise of political correctness. For some reason, people assume that other people are not allowed to offend them or disagree with them.

The Russian archives are an invaluable source of information regarding the events in 1915 labeled as the Armenian Genocide. However, the story of Armenia can only be understood if one looks at it in context of World War I. In this time, many nations rebelled and established their kingdoms. Austria-Hungary lost many territories, the Ottoman Empire lost so much territory that 50+ countries were formed out of its lands. Russia was instrumental in reshaping territories in the east as part of the Triple Entente (Russia, France, Great Britain), which Russia joined in 1907.

Turkish historians have been interviewing villagers in Turkey and researching historical archives of the Ottoman Empire for decades. Their investigation currently suggests that the event labeled as the Armenian Genocide is not a genocide as defined by the United Nations.

Armenians are a proud people, and if you aren't Turkish and you don't deny their unproven genocide, they are also a very friendly people. I've met many Armenians over the years, since I am American, they are extremely friendly to me, and for that reason, I do not discuss this topic with them. That is of course, until they google my name and read some of my articles that disagree with the notion of an Armenian Genocide. After which, they will either disassociate themselves with me, or they will come by and either try to convince me or argue with me. I'm sure many of you, no matter where you are from, have encountered Armenians who try to convince you of the genocide.

The idea of politicians debating, discussing, and explaining history was once thought to be a career killer. However, thanks to the powerful Armenian lobbies in the United States, congressmen face very little consequences because of the large Armenian-American population in the United States supporting them.
The Armenian Genocide was once again used to take advantage of Armenian voters in the event at the Capitol Hill's Cannon Caucus Room.
