I know that the genocide denier has been banned, but it is important to note that the genocidaires were very open about their goal to eliminate the Armenian people. The war minister Enver Pasha proclaimed, "The Ottoman Empire should be cleaned up of the Armenians and the Lebanese. We have destroyed the former by the sword, we shall destroy the latter through starvation". When, in 1918, the Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha was asked about the Armenian Question, he stated, "Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention. What on earth do you want? The question is settled. There are no more Armenians". To deny the Armenian Genocide requires ignoring the explicit words of the leadership of the Ottoman state of the era.
