    Phantom, how do you see Turkey accepting the A.G.? As somebody who has lived in Turkey can you please tell us what steps the Armenian Diaspora are taking to have this accomplished. What sort of reaction is the Diaspora expecting and how will this bring Turkey closer to recognition?

      hitite, how long do you think Turkey will be able to hold its policy of denial?

      These are loaded questions, aren't they?

        It's up to Turkey to grow up. Nobody can make them do that. It's Turkey's responsibility to open dialog with us, not the other way around. It is Turkey's responsibility to grow up and decide to conduct an honest review of its history rather than taking the immature knee jerk reaction to every statement or paper that comes out calling this thing a Genocide.

          No, not really. It does not matter one bit whether or not turkey recognizes the AG, in fact, it's better if they don't. turkey will soon disappear as a bad memory, just like the ottoman empire. What turkey and its friends have been doing are going to come back on them like a boomerang.

              Turkey will hold to its policy of denial until its people are educated and are convinced, just like you, that there was an A.G. You see as someone living in Turkey I can clearly see that this will never happen as long as it comes from above; i.e. from other 'super'powers or European countries or from what is perceived as some 'foreign' Armenians. It just wont happen this way. When Armenians applaud some foreign parliaments desiciion to acknowledge the Armenian Genoicide the reaction of even many educated Turks (and dont give me any 'educated Turk' smilies crap) is well "screw them". And the next day it is forgotten and the only thing left is a little more hatred towards Europe, Americans, "Armenians of the ASALA kind", "American Armenians" etc. Nobody cares... and beleive me I'm not trying to depreciate your cause, I'm just trying to tell you how people feel here. When Fuji recognizes the A.G. it is only going to add more ultra-nationalists to the alredy growing number. And when the time comes when turkey has more freedoms and people can talk freely (hopefully in the next century or so ) you may just find a monolith of nationalist extremists of all sorts before you.


              Phantom thanks for the response. Of course its up to Turkey to open dialogue but this word in itself implies that there are two parties involved, otherwise it would be a monologue so this means Armenians are part of the cake too. I still think the whole thing shold be depolitisized. So when you say Turkey should grow up I assume you are talking about the government, but IMHO that is not the way to a solution... if there is a problem of course since for some or many Turkey is at the verge of becoming a "bad memory" before it evaporates into thin air and joins their ancient masters of the Dark Side.

                    Re thats posted allready in the beginning of this thread also read opinion of chomsky following that post.
                    "All truth passes through three stages:
                    First, it is ridiculed;
                    Second, it is violently opposed; and
                    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

                    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
