Why Turkey doesn't recognize.

[elendil]

Well guess what, it will continue to haunt you and at the end, you'll realize that recognizing the genocide will actually benefit you. Were you expecting it to keep you out of the EU? An you know, being an EU member will boost your currency value and thus your economy! Not to mention, the social living conditions for your people. So there... but I guess it takes a "human" to take the "humane" step! And your government is far from it.

Thanks for your compliment about honesty..
Does Armenian genocide really stand between EU and Turkey? Or is it a stick to poke Turkish goverment from time to time? Why does especially France pushes it too strongly? Deep love for Armenians, I doubt it. To hide something of its past by blaming a country as the father of genocide issue? Yes that sounds more familiar now doesnt it? Ask them about Morocco, Ask them about Africans, they immediatly go silent. After the threat of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan regarding that Turkey will began to recognize European countries genocide claims, they pretty much went silent.
As to being a humane state, there is not such a concept in the world.

"Things the World Knew that Turkey did not Know."

A conference on Armenians, which was postponed due to sharp reactions in the media and the government, has been rescheduled for September 23-25 at Bosphorus University. The preparation committee for the conference has decided to limit its comments on the conference to strictly official ones. Likewise, the Rector of Bosphorus University, Doctor Ayse Soysal, has said she does not want to say anything in advance of the late September date.

"Ottoman Era Armenians During the Collapse of the Empire"

The conference, entitled "Ottoman Era Armenians During the Collapse of the Empire: Intellectual Responsibility and Democratic Problems," was originally supposed to run between May 25-27.

The participants in the Armenian conference will include professors from Bosphorus and Sabanci Universities, as well as Turkish academics who work at universities from prestigious universities from around the world.

Lasting two days, with 12 sessions, and featuring the participation of 38 academics, the conference will have panels like "Deportation and Massacre," "Disaster and Rescue Stories," "Memories and Witnessnes," "Things the World Knew that Turkey did not Know."

So how long will Turkey bend over only to be "poked" with the "stick" before they do something about it?

If you read the following sentence in my last post, you will see what is done about it.

Personally, I don't want any reconciliation with turkey. I don't want turkey to recognize the genocide and I don't want them to apologize either. I'm glad to see that so far the reverse psychology has been working very well and the more we push for turkey's recognition, the more they refuse and that works just fine for me.

I have noticed something that Armenians who live outside of Armenia, they are more hostile of Turkey then the others. So why? Can anyone reply?

[Hovik]

Those Armenians outside Armenia are particularly the ones who are survivors of the Turkish Governments Armenian Genocide, and perhaps equally important, the Turkish Governments 90 year-long campaign of denial. This is what fuels our commitment to justice.

what type of an insult and mockery is this? I demand that the moderators delete out that very offensive Turkish flag of "cosmos" which is soaked in the blood of our ancestors.
