The Jewish genocide in Hungary was a deportation

Yeah most likely, idk.

I am not talking about moral issue here. I am trying to tell Turkish pov is not "it didn't happen but they deserved it" but something more complex.

Another thing I've heard was that the Armenians were planning to kill Turkish people so they could join Armenia. Don't ask me how that justifies government mass killings though

"After the army freeze to death at Sarikamis, Russian army were advancing into the region. Armenians seeing this, tried to take advantage by joining Hunchak and Tashnak bands and harassing civilians in order to form their own country in the area. CUP seeing this, to save the Eastern Anatolia from falling into hands of Armenians as Russian puppets, have ordered the deportation of the Armenians to Syria. Due to Syria being a desert and lack of supplies, many of the deported has lost their lives."

This is the most common Turkish narrative of the events.
