Hi everyone,
I found this forum while I was searching for the latest petition in Turkey and had a chance to see what Armenians think about it. It is nice to see things are working, and Armenian people are willing to reach to the hand that their neighbors extend. People in Turkey are not risking their lives for nothing. More closer to what Hrant was dreaming about... A dialogue instead of a fruitless monologues... We'll get there my brothers, sooner or later... So far, so good...
I also looked for other posts, but it's just been 1 hour, so I could only read few. What I saw was, there is inclination to misunderstand the "other". Actually I may prove a minute later for such a case as well. But still, for two nations not being in dialogue for a long time and having a painful history, I think that is normal, especially on forums where you don't see any gestures but only words that do not necessarily convey the "feeling" in a non-native language.
Just now, I deleted bunch of paragraphs because it was getting out of hand to talk about everything at the same time. So I will stick with one of the things mentioned and bothered me a lot.
Originally posted by SacoOne Armenian, I’m not saying this is in a bad way or anything, was equal to many Turks sometimes.
Back to the discussion: This sentence is followed by explanations too. As a matter of fact, Eti questioned this "view" and the similarities of what is said in Mein Kampf by Nazis for Jews too. Eti refrained from saying fascist or nationalist, but I won't do it.
Quoting is tricky, I know, takes a sentence out of context, but the quoted sentence, said in whatever context, could be the first sentence of a fascist manifesto. As I read many times in this forum, facing the truth is important. And we may not need to look far away to find fascism.
Equations do not hold even in physics (they abandoned Newtonian physics in last century and they still cannot explain many things with quantum physics). It is most likely that it won't hold for societies as well. As I said, nation names could change, but does not matter. Actually we do not need nation names, a fascist may argue a vote of a peasant not being equal to a, say, educated landlord. They will not be saying this in bad way or anything. Just because educated one reads newspapers, knows the world, the government and the peasant only knows how to harvest etc. etc. Nonsense can be justified by very logical facts, actually that's what fascist leaders are famous for.
Sorry for my bitter ending to my sweet starting first post. I always believe fascism is very close to us than we think. Hearing "one Turk equals that many of this and half of the other" kind of equations makes me sick, maybe more than equations of one Armenian (not in a bad way of course) to a number of Turks. However, to this equation, only one response came, and in a way softer tone than mine. And it was dismissed by -in my perception- in a rude way accusing the person by reading only Turkish history, and reading not enough, knowing not enough etc. And yet, nobody questioned it...
Just like an Armenian shaking a Turkish to face facts, please take my comments in the same manner. I would really love to continue the tone that I started this post, but I cannot because just like my friend Saco, when it comes to serious issues, being sentimental is not my suit. Fascism is one of the most serious issues I can think of.
Gule gule.

Welcome May, nice post, a bit confusing here and there but nice overall.
AN IMPORTANT AND SINCERE REMARK: Delete Armenian and Turkish, write two other nations, or swap the nation names, and let one Turkish equal to many Armenians (not in a bad way of course), what I wrote below would not change.
