Some guys say go to Greece or Italy for their vacations instead of Turkey. Their choice, it's their loss.
      Bell the cat says that there is nothing to see except scarred by power lines etc. Maybe it is just of his jealousy or his nationalist feelings. Again I say that it is his loss. As Turkish Pride says, Turkey and its abundance of historical sites and its natural beauty is a known fact for many people. Secondly instead of paying money to these unuseless boycott stickers, save your money and buy something else you would like. I didn't come here to talk about the genocide's reality so don't argue in this topic. Now, this is for Asala. In the previous pages he told that his American friend returned a Turkish made frame to the shop where he bought it and told the keeper that he returned it because the violance of human rights in Turkey . Then I suddenly remembered what America had done in Iraq, and what Armenia did in Nagorno-Karabakh, and I decided that Asala's friend was right (!)
      Afterwards probobaly the goverment will have to pay compensation. I'll really wonder if those boycotters will also boycott that money.
      Show me the moneyyyy!!!!
      Hohoho!

        Finally a little bit of sanity. (We should at least show some resoect and conprhension of Dink's views). And while I very much understand why an Armenian would boycott Turkish products - and I would never suggest that anyone violate their convictions in this matter - in general I am not a fan of such boycotts for a variety of reasons. And specifically in regard to our approach to Turks I think that it is important that Armenians reach out to Turks and be less personally confrontational. I can't blame all the Turks of today for the Armenian Genocide or even for the policies of the Turkish government. And more can be gained by communication and teaching then negative rhetoric IMO. Anyway thats just me - but I understand why other Armenians feel differently....
        I've been spreading the word to as many non-Armenians as I can. This could work...it may snowball. I support boycotts as a political message. The end result will probably not have much of an effect on the Turkish economy but it will continue to show that Turkey is a pariah state and an enemy of human rights and decency.
