WOW If anyone saw the PBS Documentary on the Armenian Genocide click here

[TurQ]

1.5 dont jump into the matter fast, slow down, that was a general comment, I dont like propoganda of any sort be it Turkish Armenian or whatever.
I told you that I hve not watched it yet, I'll see what's with it.

About the denial thing, yes I dont depict the events that the way you describe
(like Ottomans or Turks particpiated in it with all of their institutations, CUP and others were having uniform approach towards Armenians etc), as long as you keep your claims for core CUP I wont oppose you, eventhough I wouldnt prefer G word, they the core CUP is responsible, but you tell a different story that I dont accept, and I also dont accept your claims about Turks or Kurds have never been harmed by Fedayins in Van and neighbouring provinces in 1915(even though you accept/claim that in 1917-18 they did some, only the crazed renegade youth), which is a blatant denial itself. Anyways we both know our stand points, you can try to vilify me anyways if you like.
For the F words that you use, I would say in Turkish "kotu soz sahibine aittir",
meaning "ugly word belongs its possessor"

Yup also theres a clip showing Enver kissing Prussian butt,now thats funny!
and a clip of Mustafa Kemal looking very uneasy and lack of confidence when he poses in a group picture that was filmed with his unholy Muttefiks (Allys)
these never before seen clips make it memorable along with ofcoures the grandaddy of them all Mr, Lemkins rare clip describing how he came up with the term genocide for the Jews after he was inspired by witnessing the Armenian Genocide.

I always thought of Talat loking funny, no sign of a statesmen's standing.
sounds interesting how did they find that clip, may be the germans.

Did you read his conversation with his Tashnak friend right before the arrests in april?

Dude you should whatch it just to see the murderous eyes of Talat
I've seen only pictures of him up to now but in the movie theres a clip of him and it will send shivers up your spine whether your a TurQ or Armenian he is nothing like his pictures.I mean I lived in Turkey I never saw anyone with those evil eyes before anywhere.

Do you know when they re gonna air next?

Well to be honest I dont expect much to hear anything new in the documentary, problably same information was provided here, or same issues adressed here(I'll watch and see myself), may be artistically presented I dont know, proably nothing new.

I have not attacked Balakian, some posters here applauded Balakian showing that Prof. Justin Mccarty is funded by Turkish state(or working with), but the very same thing applies to the makers of this documentary
Here is the list of the sponsors.

One thing that I have not understand(may be I'll understand when I'll watch) about the discussion thing, why those Armenian groups so much opposed the airing of the discussion? Did Balakian say, OK I'll discuss but dont show it in public? If he and Akcam didnt see anything wrong to participate in that discussion why do the Armenian communities oppose it? Did they condemn Balakian in person for his participation? Anyways may be it'll be more clear when I watch the debate.

Yeah I'm waiting with baited breadth for Turq's critique on the filmakers or (repeated) attacks on Balakian or such - in his typical style - rather then addressing the issues raised in the film.

Do you know any official website for the documentary?

The letter did not say that he personally killed 300 people. The letter said that they (as a group) killed 1200 Armenians, praise be to Allah. A citation to the letter is not made, but I'm sure if you want to see the original, you can contact the director and ask for it.

Phantom I was just commenting on Balakian's accusation to Mccarthy.

I wasn't quoting you, I was quoting TurQ, who had quoted you. My point was in response to TurQ's complaint that the Goldberg documentary was funded by Armenians, i.e., reducing its credibility. And I was saying that Schindler's list, as well as documentaries on the Jewish Holocaust, were often funded by Jews, and does that mean they are not accurate.

What i was saying is Balakian's accusation is not consistent.

I have not commented on the documentary yet.

But I heard that in one part there is a letter from a Kurdish soldier saying he himself killed 300 Armenians. I was wondering if the documentary gives references to those documents.

It is consistent. Neither Balakian, nor Akcam get their funding from the Armenian government or any other Armenian group, whereas both of the other panelists do get their funding from the Turkish government.

As for the documentary, it was funded by Armenians, because who else gives a xxxx about what happened to our ancestors? Should we have waited for the Turkish govt. to fund it?
