Opinions of a Turk, or two (hi from Turkey)

[TomServo]

The genocide has been brought to the attention of many countries and organizations. Therefore, ASALA is obsolete and defunct. Pity they got their message across in such a violent manner, but it had to be done.

‘’Feeling of revenge..this must exist in nations’ hearts. This is not an ordinary revenge, its something against attempts of enemies, who try to destroy their lives,comfort,richness. All world must know that, as long as such enemy stands infront of us, to forgive that enemy is impossible for us. Showing mercy to enemy ,is weakness and inabilty. This is not ‘to be human’ this is to declare end of humanity.
Our revenge is against cruelty of cruels. Until their cruelty finish, our revenge will continue’’

January31,1923 M.K.Atatürk.

Asala was cleaned up by Turkish forces, inside the activism, in late 70s,starting by 74 Cyprus operation.

I haven’t observed any kind of hostilty against Armenians in the environments i was grown too,i had probably over 1000 friends in school,etc..i haven’t met any friend or elder talking about this. until 1-2 years ago.

For this time, turkey’s eu process started and usa has come to the region; its talked in turkey now.
I define your comments about Turks and Turkey ,as myths. And i don’t think its shared by majority of Western publics. The anti-muslim reflex happening after 9-11 will calm down and the real base that Turkey stands on, will be more visible.

Yes easy for you to say this eh? Yes - brush it off....well I did not expect any more - particularly from you - who obviously completely lacks capacity to reflect or reasonin this regard - no ability to truly think on your own (and no baisis of education - and you define my [Akcam's] comments as myth?!?!?!? - HA!) - you are clearly able to only slurp the foul porridge spooned to you by the Turkish state...and see things through your particular stained looking glass...

I don't get why people like yourself get on Armenian Forums and try to convince us of being brainwashed and that the Turkish people never did anything. Don't try to rewrite history. I'd rather believe my great great grandmother who was a young woman when the Armenian Genocide happened than a person who admits it happened then suddenly changes their mind and says it didn't.

I agree, I rather believe my great grand mom who was 7yo when she witnessed her mom’s death, & turks taking her father away Just ignore that idiot.

Yes - and here the MYTH begins....thank you for verifying Akcam's claim

"...That attempt of murder against my person was organized by the members of the Young Turk 'Ittihad' party... It was that party that should answer for the life of our millions of Christian citizens, who were cruelly deported on a mass scale from their dwelling-places and were exterminated..." - Kemal Ataturk

[cemil]

armenian community is keeping itself closed and never forget what their parents tell, maybe more people suffered because of their rebellion acts but turkey is open and secular public and they forget the pains they lived.

turkey has responsibility to creat familiarity but its also their and rest of the world's responsibility to create familiarity. what we do here is trying that,but all we see are ur idiots,animals.. so our reflex becomes to find evidances about our pains.

its everyone's responsibility not Turkey's only.

my very last comment is, we can reach a deal sooner or later

because Asia has a 5000 years history. This must have taught asian people to deal , if not outer forces create an asymetry between us.

thanks for bothering my english that i learned in chat mostly. bye

Don't be so funny and fascist...

You must know something about founding a country....


Homelands are always created by sheding blood of their own.We have shed our bloods for a thousand years for this country.Not one or two million!Millions of Turks are now lying under this lands.Tens of millions of Turks have sacrificed themselves for the sake of this country...
