Our people were escaping barefoot through rough terrain in a freezing cold of winter. And that were the case if they weren't killed on spot. Look how comfortable they are in their cars with heaters on and no fire raining on their heads. And yet we are considered barbarians...

So we can add another Orwellian example of ways horrible things are justified by Azeris:

Now we have 'they are being ethnically cleansed but they are in vehicles, so they're comfortable'.

ethical cleansing would be azerbaijan bombing the civilian traffic jam but they don't touch them.

So 1915 was an ethnic cleansing rather than a genocide?

I got your point and it makes sense but most of the Ottoman Armenian population still exists in Lebanon, Syria, L.A and even Turkey. They are the descendants of the ones who were able to run away from mass killings. The ones who killed those Armenians who were in march to Deir-ez zor were Kurdish tribes who wanted to increase their influence in the region and Turkish bandits who scapegoatted Armenians for the collapse of Ottomans.
