TURKIC SPEAKING AMERICANS HOLD BEFORE WHITE HOUSE PROTEST ACTION
[April 25, 2005, 22:12:14]

Living in various states of USA more than thousand representatives of Turkish, Azerbaijan, Uzbek, Tatar and other Turkic speaking communities, having gathered on April 24 before the White House, have made a protest against attempts to recognize occurred in 1915 in Ottoman Empire events as “genocide of Armenians”. The Turkic speaking citizens of America, holding in hands of photo of victims of the Armenian terror and crying out slogans “Armenia, open the archives!”, “Sufferings of Turks should not be forgotten!”, “Remember the Khojali genocide! Armenia is guilty of this genocide!”, have passed before the White House, on one of the central streets of Washington and came to embassy of Armenia.

Participants of the action have called on the President the USA and members of the Congress not to give in on false campaign of the Armenians and give to historians the right to assess historical events. In the statement, adopted on behalf of participants of protest action, it was emphasized, that before to accuse the Turkish people of the crime which it did not make, it is necessary to familiarize with resolution of the United Nations on the said question and corresponding documents of the Maltese tribunal of 1919. The Turkic speaking Americans have demanded from Armenia to release the seized Azerbaijan lands, to create conditions for returning of one million of refugees and IDPs to native houses.

On behalf of our compatriots who have taken part in procession, has acted the president of the Azerbaijan society of America Tomris Azeri. She has emphasized, that the Armenians who are talking plentifully about events of 90-years before, have overlooked about the Khojali genocide accomplished by them only 13 years ago.

In interview to correspondent of AzerTAj, Ms. Tomris Azeri has told: “Taking part in the today's procession, Azerbaijanis living in America aspire to put an end to the Armenian lie. We came to tell to American people not lie about events of 90-years prescription, and about not healing wound received by us 13 years ago. Procession taken place on April 24 does not become last action spent together with the Turkic speaking communities. We shall continue our correspondence with legislators and other governmental organizations of America, and we shall distribute together truthful information on the Armenian terror”.

Quote: "one with a Turkish perspective"

Genocide denialist propaganda should not be called a "Turkish perspective", any more than statements affirming the Genocide should be called an "Armenian perspective".

Are you kidding me? That makes me SICK.... I'm gonna go throw up now.
So American Turks are as dirty and ignorant as the ones back home.
This is as disrespectful as it gets, I'm not surprised, they're the descendants of young turks...
I can't get over the Armenians and Greeks killed 3 mill. Turks sign! How did they come up with these lies?

What on earth do the Turks mean by this:

Kirlikovali said the Turkish people are particularly upset with Schwarzenegger, whom they believed was "one of our guys," because of his Austrian ancestry.



"Austrian Ancestry" is usually used a a hint phrase meaning someone is a Fascist. Is this a bit of unusal honesty from Turkish lobbyists perhaps, in their expectation of the type of people who would support their lies.

All we need now is to get Steven Segal and Jean Claude VanDamn to admit to the fact of the Armenian Genocide and the video rental business in Turkey will collapse.
