Tall Armenian Tale

Murad Gumen has been accused of being the creator of the Armenian Genocide denial web site "Tall Armenian Tale". The alleged link was discovered when historian Taner Akcam investigated a letter that the site's author claimed to have sent to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. [cite web |author=Ali Murat Guven |url=http://yenisafak.com.tr/arsiv/2005/temmuz/27/g01.html |accessdate=2008-05-17 |work=Yeni Safak |title=Ermenileri çıldırtan gizemli Amerikalı (The Mysterious American Who Drives the Armenians Mad) |date=2005-07-27|language=tr icon] The version posted on "Tall Armenian Tale" was left unsigned whereas the original, held in the museum's archives, was signed Murad Gumen.
