Was There Really Such as Thing as the 1915 Armenian “Genocide?”

This column created a firestorm when I first wrote and published it.  I lost friends and even received threats.  Nonetheless, I stand by the conclusions herein.  Until it can be shown an orchestrated and deliberate “genocide” occurred, I remain convinced the horrific episode known as the attempt to exterminate Armenians was one of many terrible outcomes of World War I and unbridled nationalism.
