[edit] References and NY Times article

Aivazovsky, I have the exact article from NY Times on May 25, 1920 in PDF format. Nowhere does it use the word "genocide", it says Armenian people have suffered "reported massacres and other atrocities", and that's the claim of Woodrow Wilson. So that's what should be in the article when you reference it. Also, added another reference to "Greater Armenia" objective from 1999 article by Graham Usher. And in future, you should leave comments for edits you make, per ArbCom decision. Atabek 06:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to see that article, just out of curiosity. I'll google it. Also Aivazovsky doesn't have to leave comments for his edits. Only when he reverts. VartanM 07:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd like to mention to Atabek that the word genocide was not invented yet by Lemkin so that Mr. Wilson could start using it but this doesn't mean the concept did not exist. It is, without a shadow of a doubt, what he is referring to. - Fedayee 12:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree completely. When a people suffer from "from massacres and other atrocities" then that usually means it was a case of genocide. -- Aivazovsky 18:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

That's personal interpretation. If you refer to a source, you should quote it accurately. Grandmaster 10:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

The map shows Ganja and other regions as part of this absurd ideology and yet there is no mention of Ganja in the describtion. Why not, because there is nothing to claim their? This should be added in the article or I will add it.

Historically Ganja was called Gantsak in Armenian. There used to be an Armenian population there until the Azeris massacred and ousted them before the NK war. Search for "Kirovabad progrom". -- Davo88 02:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Baku87, I'm not sure why you added a fact tag for the word used by the Dashnaks... it's the Dashnak used term of the word "Greater Armenia". - Fedayee 22:04, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
