Can Turkey Learn Tolerance?

What a foul looking monument! A true visual and structural obscenity.

It looks like an enormous fibreglass football trophy. And for the plinth, all fake marble cladding, cut wafer thin (like the stuff used for cheap kitchen worktops?). And what is that paving meant to be - poured concrete (?) with a pattern painted on it to mimic hexagonal bricks. The graphitti is the only thing it has going for it - having it there indicates there is more meaning to the monument than just being a suburban eyesore.

That was cruel. The Assyrian community is even smaller than ours, especially in Australia and probably do not have the means to cover the costs of a more elaborate memorial. I do somewhat agree with your last sentence and do hope that the community at large gets the chance to see what was done. I hope this reflects the true magnitude of Turkish malice to ordinary Australians.

If the Assyrians built it the monument must mean something to them as we have ours and many people say the same , when you get up in the morning and look in the mirror are you happy with what you see or do you say man why did God do this to me

Frankly, It isn't easy to guess what will be the result.People's minds are confused due to politicans' words but most of people chose their side ( according to their parties).Dilemma will be stayed till the last day but one thing is clear : Change is necessary.

In my opinion, the level of Nationist chauvinism emanating from Turkey is complete unacceptable. The Turkish government and establishment are one thing and the Turkish people are quite another.

Kids with spray paint, almost certainly born, educated and citizens of Australia.

But don't let that minor point get in the way of your ad hominem fallacy....

And all most certainly raised in Turkish homes. I'll bet the Aussies just love them

More like hyenas. The citizens of Australia can see the true nature of the Turks.

The only dogs here are those Turks who did this.

Assyrian Genocide Monument in Australia Vandalized

8-30-2010


Fairfield, Australia (AINA) -- The Assyrian Genocide Monument, which was
installed on August 7, has been vandalized. According to Fairfield police,
the vandalism occurred around 4 AM. The police have no leads on the
perpetrators. The vandals painted a Turkish crescent and star on the
monument's globe, which sits on a pedestal resembling a hand, as well as
writing "xxxx Assyrian dogs" and "xxxx Assyria" on the left and forward
sides of the base of the monument. The plaque at the front of the monument
was removed.

According to the Fairfield City Champion, a local newspaper, a war memorial
in Fairfield Park, dedicated to Australian and Assyrian soldiers who fought
together, was also vandalized with a mixture of concrete and paint.

This act of vandalism comes as no surprise. After the dedication of the
monument, Assyrian community leaders had privately expressed concerns about
the safety of the monument.

The monument is dedicated to the 750,000 Assyrians that were killed by Turks
in World War One, between 1915 and 1918.
