[edit] Ordu page - mediation or help

Hi. Some editors are alledging "armenian genocide" in Ordu (Turkey) but the source they have provided is an obscure quote from an Armenian poet from his 2003 book. The unverifiable quote itself implies some people were killed according to one witness and nothing else. I read that book and the author(Balakian) got that quote from a brief speech made by another Armenian(Dardian) in 1999. But the accusing editors are concluding that "Ordu was an Armenian city prior to a genocide" among other things. Can they do that? I reported them as vandals but I got blocked instead, maybe rightfully so (but I doubt it). I don't know what to do anymore, they're accusing me of personal attacks and as a "genocide denier" because I disagree with their flimsy source. I figured serious allegations needed serious sources but I guess I was wrong. Help! Thanks! --152.216.11.5 18:30, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
