Shut up you dissembling liar.

Everyone knows that you are a holocaust denier because you will not recognise the premeditated massacres of Christians by the Turks as genocide.

I am perfectly happy to use the term "massacre". As Agamemnon knows, I have used this term myself. 

It was GENOCIDE.


I do not feel comfortable using the term "genocide", because I feel that this has more than an undertone of a deliberate attempt to murder an entire ethnic grouping (e.g. if it had been Turkish policy to murder every single Greek anywhere). 

Holocaust denier.
