[edit] disagree
The so called "biased" information is only under scrutiny because the Turkish Government has not wanted to make concessions to the decendants of the Armenians that were systematically irradicated in the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Most of the world has by now accepted this as fact, and the U.S. government is the last remaining major power to accept this due to it's political ties with Turkey. Beyond this information, if factual reference is required, one good source would be the diaries by Ambassador Morganthou, the US Ambassador to Turkey around 1915. He had first hand accounts of Armenians being driven to the deserts outside of town, without weapons, and being killed, tortured, forced to leave loved ones behind, etc. The atrocities were unspeakable, and his accounts, as well as other historian's accounts are unrefutable, despite the efforts of the Turkish Government.
