>>>All you have to do to see evidence is to read the links I posted above. Btw, the consistent denial of genoicde has now borne fruit and Turkiye is again accused of participating in a modern genocide, that of the Yazidi people: https://www.theguardian.com/law/2022/jul/05/turkey-should-fa... This is what happens when you deny history.

I disagree. I'm not sure you know how Wikipedia works. Unfortunately, it is not a reliable source.

The Armenian Genocide really happened and there is strong historical evidence for it. See the links I posted above.

I wonder for how long you are going to continue denying it. My guess is we'll be here for a few more months, or even years.

That should be really interesting to watch.

Hey,

I disagree. The G word has never happened. There is no such thing called historical evidence. Please refer the following fact sheet [0].

I’m not denying it as it never happened. But, yeah, I will be standing by my nation till the last spill of my blood.

Your source is the Turkiye ministry of foreign affairs. They are not an impartial source.

Impartial parties like e.g. the United States recognise the historicity of the Armenian Genocide:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_recognition_of_t...

And of course there is plenty of historical evidence for it. I point you again to the wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide

Wikipedia is not a reliable source for citations elsewhere on Wikipedia. As a user-generated source, it can be edited by anyone at any time, and any information it contains at a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or simply incorrect.

You also perpetuated a hellish nationalistic flamewar in this thread. I know how easy it is to get provoked by provocative comments, but it's totally unacceptable and against the site guidelines for people who disagree to keep going at each other like this—regardless of how wrong the other person is or you feel it is.

I'm not going to ban you because you don't have a history of doing this and you make good contributions in other areas. But for heaven's sake please don't do it again.

(In case anyone's worried about bias, the reason for banning one account and not another has nothing to do with which side of a flamewar they were on. It's because of the history of the two accounts, not just in this thread but in other threads, and previous warnings.)

I'm sorry, and I'm an idiot, and there is no excuse in being provoked. It's a personal failing. And I'm guilty of provoking the other poster also, it takes two to tango.

I want to make excuses now, but I won't. I'm an idiot. Sorry sorry sorry.

We've banned this account for taking HN threads into nationalistic flamewar as well as breaking the site guidelines badly in other ways (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32012266).

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
