I tried commenting on A Disputed Genocide. Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during the Nineteenth Century as posted on Vestnik Kavkaza. I discovered that the Azerbaijani-centric Vestnik Kavkaza, purposely pushes comments on "selected topics" to a totally different article in a different section. Since off-topic, it would never be approved. In my case it was to be posted under Iranian business enters Turkmenistan. What a nice trick. So, I have posted my comment here:
David Davidian • 5 minutes ago Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Vestnik Kavkaza.
Vestnik Kavkaza is providing a disservice to its readership by blindly posting chapters from a known genocide denier, Guenter Lewy. Clearly, the choice of posting his work was not random as his text also appears on the Foreign Ministry of Turkey's web site
Lewy also claims Native Americans were not subject to genocide and would have us believe the only real genocide was the Holocaust.
We must conclude that Vestnik Kavkaza is not interested in the objectivity of the articles on its site.
Yerevan, Armenia
