One of the most influential people in the U.S., lawyer Bruce Fein, who opposes against the Armenia's groundless allegations, noted that the Armenian diaspora, fearing that it would be unmasked by its own deception, avoids studying its archives and appealing to the International court, TRT Russian service reported.
Fein, a former adviser to Ronald Reagan, responded to reporters' questions.
"Misusing World War I, the Armenians, in order to create an independent nation, rebelled and began to cooperate with enemy forces, betraying the Ottoman Empire. Like other any leadership, the Ottoman Empire took action against this rebellion," said Fein.
"It is believed that during the World War I, the loss of the Muslim Turks in Eastern Anatolia was about two million, but the losses of Armenians - from 300,000 to 600,000 people. However, the Armenians periodically increased the number of their victims," - says Fein.
"What happened in the past was a shared tragedy. But the Armenians at all times protect their claims at political platforms. But the politicians do not know the history," said Fein.
"If the Armenians are sure on their claims, why do not they appeal to the International court? They do not apply to the International court because the process would have to examine the archives, and the results of this study will demonstrate that the Armenians betrayed the Ottoman Empire to attain independence, killed the Muslim Turks, committed acts of terror, " said Fein. Touching upon the discussion of so-called "Armenian genocide" at parliaments, Fein said that to assess the history and crimes or to condemn the story is firstly contrary to constitutions of countries, where the politicians make such initiatives.
