Today, Armenians claim they were victims of an Ottoman genocide committed in 1915. The Armenians blame Turkey even though Turkey didn't become a republic until 8 years after the "fake" Armenian claims. The real historical truth is that there was no Armenian genocide and the following historical facts are absolute proof that the self-claimed Armenian genocide is nothing more than the figment of their rich and vivid imaginations to try to get something for nothing. The Armenians have created a "genocide industry" for one very simple and basic reason--to deceive, fleece and scam the Christian world out of billions of dollars.

What nonsense. His site basically says that because they didn't do to the armenians exactly what Germany did to the Jews, it doesn't qualify as 'genocide'. This is his 'real historical truth' - they didn't make them wear stars like jews so it wasn't genocide. Not even smart lies, just obvious,stupid lies.
Is it bad that it's a bit refreshing to see a genocide denier who ISN'T fixated on the Holocaust or Darfur? Even if it's bad attention, it's good that the Armenian genocide is getting any attention as these days it tends to be forgotten.
That being said, Samuel, you're a racist piece of shit. The way I see it, if an entire group of people believe they were brutalized and the Armenian people suddenly lost 1,800,000 people that they had before, chances are pretty good that they were fucking brutalized.
Entire cultures don't come up with scams the way you think they do you moron, but everyone in a single culture doesn't share some sort of hive mind.
There are a few pro-Turkish nuts out there without Mr Weems being a Turk himself.
1) The Armenians were the victims of a genocide between 1915 and 1917 and, had the war lasted longer, it is likely the Kurds would have been next on the list.
2) Not only was the Turkish Republic the successor state to the Ottoman Empire which, as cdcdrr rightly points out, had an army whose generals went on to lead Turkey. However, the government of the Ottoman Empire after 1908 consisted of military men who rejected the old Ottoman multinational dynastic empire in favor of pan-Turkish nationalism encouraged by the Kaiser in Berlin. Turkey is responsible because the Armenians were slaughtered in the name of the Turkish nation.
3) Mr Weems is a racist toerag.

I frequently find denialists of genocide in Bosnia and Kosovo and, occasionally, Rwanda. Strange that many of them seem to be on the far left.
@jsonitsac
You're right, I'd forgotten about them. Perhaps the most extreme case was the Marxist writer Malcolm Caldwell, who denied the genocide in Cambodia. His career ended, suddenly and ironically, when he was murdered on the orders of Pol Pot.

Let's not forget those who deny the reality of the Cultural Revolution, the Roman persecutions of Christians, the Japanese actions in China, the white settler's mistreatment of Amerindians, the German war crimes in Namibia...
Warren, Armenians present, as a pivotal piece of evidence for an organised genocide carried out by Turks in World War 1, a supposed link between Nazi ideolgy and the Nazi programme of industrial mass murder carried out against Jews and others. It would be reasonable therefore to look at this claim: it is in the preamble of every formal statement regarding the accusation of genocide against the Turks by Armenians. If a claim that is demonstrably false is made as the opening gambit then it is not unreasonable to question that claim and then the veracity of the evidence that follows
Confused?
