Professors arguments unsupported
By Tigran Kesayan | Feb. 10, 2008Last Friday there was an extremely biased, highly misrepresentative and clearly false argument presented by Professor McCarthy as he denied the genocide of Armenians in 1915.

If you don't even know somebody's real name, how can you question his scientific work?
