There are numerous similarities between the Turkish authorities'
ideology during the First World War, and the German authorities'
ideology during the Second World War.
The aforesaid topic was discussed at a conference, which was held
recently in Paris, and among historians who had arrived from Armenia,
Turkey, several other European countries, and the US, Le Monde
reported.
"We have responded to Turkish President, Mr. [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan's
instructions, and set up a commission of historians to study the
Armenian Genocide," French Armenian researcher and historian Raymond
Kévorkian noted with ridicule.
As per the historians, the same inhuman logic of social Darwinism--that
is, the creation of a human race that is "free from the Armenian and
Jewish bacteria"--was applied by both the Young Turks and the German
Nazis.
In addition, there is a lot in common between the executioners of the
Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in the early 1900s, and the
extermination of the Tutsis in Rwanda. Accordingly, large numbers of
people living in rural areas were exterminated in a short period of
time in both cases, the scholars also noted.
