The Turks

[42diplomats]

Dont dream!

Can we really destroy Turkish economy by boycotting?
If Turkey withdraws from eastern anatolia as a result of this boycott who will take this land? It belongs to Armenians not to Kurds. There is not place for Kurdistan. First Great Armenia will be established.

Not likely. Becausue no such boycot will be supported. People are too lazy and complacent.
Take Cyprus as an example. In Britain there are 10000s of Greek Cypriots who arrived as refugees after the Turkish invasion. Yet everywhere you see adverts for holidays in "North Cyprus" and flights to "North Cyprus". I know what I'd do if I was one of those people and saw tourists buying their holidays in northern Cyprus (perhaps even going to stay in their former homes since much abandoned Greek-owned property has been confiscated and converted into holiday villas or sold as timeshare). But I don't think it has entered the tiny head of even one Greek Cypriot that maybe they should take some direct action about it.

Yes but Armenians are more decisive and better educated than Greeks.

That is a stupid statement to make. You cant generalise entire ethnic groups by saying one is more intelligent than another. Intelligence is based on the individual.

Well, the issue of where the modern Turkish people came from is not that complicated. People generally could tell as whether they are Bosniaks, Albanians or Tatars. However, I believe that such classification is not as important as in the case of Armenians. The Armenians are one native Anatolian peoples, and there are only 100-110 thousand of them living in Turkey on top of those 40-50 thousand Hemshin Armenians who are muslims. Of course, there are also the ethnic Armenians who do now bear the Turkish idenity due to mixing and converting to Islam over centuries. I hope that there would be more Armenians who would return to Turkey in the future in line with the compromise that the Armenian and the Turkish people reach over time. Finally, I am sorry that you consider me as a person who do underestimate the Armenian looses and the tragedy that fell upon them. For that reason, I shall state that I regret all the wrongful policies that the Ottoman governments or officials executed against the Ottoman Armenians.

I wish you good luck in the future.

That day may never come but I appreicate your sentiments

Perhaps he/she is, perhaps he/she is not. At this point, it does not really matter.
