*urks, Faithful To Their Traditions, Continue To Loot Armenia

[bell-the-cat]

I have the "Okyanus encyclopedia of Turkish dictionary" by Pars Tuglaci and I have to admit that Mr. Tuglaciyan is one of the most important lexicolog of Turkish language.

Was, not is. He died a couple of years ago.

He wrote lots of books on art and architecture as well. And literary hstory.

I have his Turkish-English dictionary: personally I think the Oxford one is better.

There are printed books of great value and considered to to be of great cultural value! What's your point?
Also, how the fact that it was not printed in Armenia would change their value?

These books were in private ownership, not state ownership. I suppose that since the Armenian State thinks it can do what it likes with Armenian land and its population, it can also do what it likes with the populations' possessions.

I believe that the person who should own a book is the person that will make the most use of it.

As I know, he was the write of the first and only Turkish medical dictionary as I remember from my uncle who is doctor.
And he looks as Dracula with long whiskers and harsh looking eyes. Nice guy he was.

Firstly, he most likely did not know what he was taking out nor did he know the law, that is the precise reason the Prosecuter's office will not be seeking a jail term for him.
Secondly, the Armenian government has every right to guard its historical and cultural treasures from looters and vagabonds and rightfully does so.

TURKEY OFFICIALLY APPEALS TO ARMENIA TO RELEASE TURKISH SMUGGLER

On June 17, Armenian National Security Service detained Turkish citizen Yeqta Turkyimaz for an attempt to export a large number of books dated 17-20 centuries. The same day Turkish public television responded to the arrest.

On June 21, Milliyet newspaper wrote, "Turkey takes steps to release Turkish scientist Yeqta Turkyimaz detained in Armenian capital of Yerevan. Owing to the absence of diplomatic relations between the two countries, Turkish ambassador to Georgia, Ertan Tezgyoz, passed the demand for release to the Armenian ambassador to the country. The sources of Foreign Ministry confirmed that Tezgyoz issued official appeal to the Armenian authorities. Turkyimaz is the first researcher who got official permission to study the Armenian archives. He was detained in Yerevan on suspicion of 'exporting ancient Armenian books' but there was no statement as to developments".

It seems to me that you *rmenians cannot distinguish betwen facts and fiction. This guy is (not surprisingly) innocent - he is being framed by the armenian police and politicians - another move in the great defamation plan you guys have been executing the last 100 years or so.

Really... if we were framing him, why not just put him in jail and go the whole way instead of simply giving him a fine?
