Why are people so quick to accept the flimsiest hearsay substituting as evidence for what is called the Armenian genocide? It's not just Armenians conditioned by their parents, teachers and churches insuring that new generations will keep fighting for their rewarding and emotional enterprise, but non-Armenians as well, some of whom consider themselves honorable and intellectual, and who would never dream of making such a serious charge without ensuring the evidence is solidly in place.
Certainly anti-Turkish prejudice plays a part, but the reason why the truth plays such an alarming second fiddle lies deeper. Helping us to understand is a clip from THE INTERNATIONAL, starring Naomi Watts and Clive Owens.

You need to remember there's what people wanna hear, wanna believe ...
00:59:42,412 --> 00:59:44,871
... there's everything else,
then there's the truth.
00:59:45,039 --> 00:59:48,375
And since when is that okay?
I can't believe you're saying this to me.
00:59:48,543 --> 00:59:50,669
The truth means responsibility, Arnie.
00:59:50,837 --> 00:59:53,839
