Armenia's 1st Prime Minister Ovanes Kacaznuni's answer to Armenian Genocide

"We rebelled against the Turks. We were in the same camp with the other states that were at the time enemies of the Turks. From Turkey, we wanted from sea to sea Armenia. We died and killed. The decision of 'forced emigration' was correct. We couldn't see the truth, and we were the reason for these tragic events. Turk's national fight was rightful. During the summer and fall of 1915, the Armenians in Turkey were forced to emigrate. Turks knew what they were doing, and there was nothing wrong for what they did that would require them to regret. The method used by the Turks was the most definite and appropriate.

It is really sad to complain about the fate and search for reasons for our demise at places other than us. This is a characteristic of our sickly national psychology, and Tasnaksutyun Party couldn't escape that."
