Re: What should Turkey be proud of?
If we talk and share our opinions and knowledge with each other, we may not think in a way you don't want us to. Look at the Turks who bounce in sometimes claiming that Armenia is worthless. They don't know a thing about Armenia or it's people and when they find out about all that Armenia has accomplished throughout history and how worthless their claims were, they disappear. There are so many Armenians as well that simply talk about Turkey without knowing a thing about her. Now look at me, I kindly requested all of you to let me know more about Turkey because me and so many other people in my project have some great ideas/intentions. I don't knowr really much about Turkey and wanted to get a good impression from all of you.
Our biggest problem is that we don't talk much and when we do, it's only because someone brought up the AG issue. How many of you actually have friendly or NORMAL chats with Turks/Armenians in general in the forums or anywhere else? Show of posts. Not many I'm sure. This thread is your proof. Just look at how it got all mixed up. It isn't because we hate each other (can't talk for Hellektor), it's because we talk so infrequently with each other and mostly ONLY when a discussion is related to the AG. Am I right or wrong? Threads like this one and normal chats in general will help us all look at the bigger picture.
The AG issue must be taken forward but it shouldn't be the only reason we're talking together. It's become a sickness. It's gone so far that it's almsot unbeliavable to hear/read that Saco, Pedro, and many other members have great, friendly relations with different Turks. Let's face it, we as Armenians and Turks don't know enough and in many cases almost ANYTHING about each other. That's why we seem to look at each other in strange ways, not knowing what to expect from Turks/Armenians. Most are simply taught that Armenians/Turks are evil people and no one questions that theory mostly because we seem to be so far apart. THAT'S what needs to change before anything else. If Turkish leaders agree that the AG took place and even apologize ad give back all the land and everything, we still won't be able to talk properly with each other because we don't know much or almost anything about each other. That's one of the reasons I asked this question. I knew a fight would take place and I'm glad everything happened the way it did. Now we are more prepared to talk and with a better understanding of the current situation. Enough of the pitiful claims, their too freakin old.
