We are the only muslim country who managed anti-imperialist independance war.

In Saudi Arabia,Kuveyt..millions suffer under tyrannies who direct the people under pressure of fundemental islam and clan membership.People are controlled under rule of dynasties which let the resources be exploited by Western colonialism.

When the tyranny somehow don't let Western colonialism to exploit, it becomes a case of invasion and introducing democracy. When Fahd family deals well in Saudi Arabia, they are welcome to personal farms.When others dont let exploitation, they find themselves at edge of execution.

Just like Israel-Arab thrill, some forces one earth,try to create Armenian-Turk fight. And unstabilise Caspian Sea and Middle East region.

There's no freedom of speech in Turkey, so you're just learning crap the government feeds you.

[TomServo]

So why are you one of the only Muslim countries who tears down Armenian churches and historical sites and replaces them with mosques?

My estimation inside kemalism concept is, probably when there were 1.000.000 armenians, there were 1000 churchs; when there is 50.000 armenians churchs will be reduced in the same ratio.

If there is another reason, its probably because of anti-kemalist, anti-republican government of today. Which tries to apply imperialst EU aims on the country.
