They are a strange breed. Most become diplomats. Being good English speakers, in Turkey they are the ones who come up and talk to you, normally quickly bringing up the "what do you think about Turkey" question - as if they expected any sort of intelligent answer back. I think a lot if them have psychological problems - they are inately suspicious of everyone and they are easily self-fooled.

Armenians in Egypt

I am pleased to be a new member of such an interesting forum. I am doing research on Egyptian politics in 1919 and would like to find out if there are any good texts in English on the Egyptian attacks against the Armenians.

I haven't been able to find any useful information on the ARmenians living in Egypt in 1919.

That's the first I've heard of such events. Tell us more, please.

No. There is no profit in it - there is nothing useful to be gained by having any contact with you. With ordinary Turks, yes there would be. With Turkish intellectuals, again yes. But with a Turkish "international relations and political science" student there never could be.

I haven't heard of Egyptians attacking Armenians but many Coptics have been attacked recently and suffer from discrimination in Egypt.

I agree , it is a disgusting idea.

Gavur, this book interests me but I can't find any reference on line. Could you give me the ISBN or some other details?
