Turkey demands back its "cultural heritage"

[ArmSurvival]

In an apparent move to further falsify history by claiming the history of Asia Minor as their own, Turkey has demanded that historical artifacts which were originally from Asia Minor to be "returned" to Turkey. The funny part is they are claiming Christian artifacts which existed centuries before Turks set foot in Asia Minor, while their state denies their genocide of the Christian population of Asia Minor. Apologies if this has been posted somewhere already.

It can demand all it likes, but if they try to claim they are older than Greeks, Armenians and Persians they have just increased their insanity by 100%.

Not just that, a Turkish once told me: "every single person in the world comes from Turkic origins and has Turkic blood", and have it even studied by their """""scientists""""" who consider it as a true fact and teach it on their education system. God forbid they get bad relationships with the Chinese people, they will start claiming they invented the gunpowder and the paper.

Agriculture in short (in Turkish) means - culture: according to Turkish sanetists. Alas there are just a few sane tists. I appreciate the tists.

There`s another problem too. Greek monuments in Turkey are often defined as "Roman".

I am not surprised by all this. For 94 years turkey demolished every monument or a sign that had Armenian writings and monuments. Why should they change their warped tactics when they are getting away with murder; thanks to the big powers of the world. They are a lucky bunch. Every big country kisses to them because of the huge land they stole.

Don't worry the Kurds will soon outnumber the Turks, and the Turks will lose everything and become a tiny minority in 'their country' just wait and see, soon it will be a nation to be divided up.

I didn't know that. This makes sense though, considering Armenian churches are frequently referred to as "Christian Cathedrals". Turkish logic says that if the ancient people of Asia minor were Christians, and the modern people of Asia minor are now Turks, therefore those Christian monuments are Turkish.

Nonsense... Alexandros as usual is just being facetious. He very well knows that the word 'Rum' i.e. Roman used in Turkish is commonly identified with the Greeks. This association due to the Byzantium empire being known at one point in history as the Eastern Roman Empire.
