It was absolutely imperialist. To argue that it was not is senseless and to do so you would be glossing over much of the history of the Ottoman Empire and cherry-picking your information.

another barking intruder ...

to warchild37:

Hitlerin çok sevdiğim bi lafı var.Amerikalılar Avrupalı orospu çocuklarıdır...tüm amerikalılar öyle!!!

Translation: Hitler has a saying which I love a lot; Americans are Europe's prostitutes children (children of SIN) ... all Americans are!!!

My Comment to you: Adolf might have said that to make you feel better, but he also said; "Who after all speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians by Turks?" which makes me feel better, because he used Turkey and their ruthless crimes against Armenians as an excuse to his crimes against Jews...

Hope you bark in English next time...

"The Lark Farm" will be soon translated into Turkish. The author of
the book Antonia Arslan said at a press conference in the framework of
the Golden Apricot Film Festival that although Turks tried to prevent
the shooting of the movie on the basis of the book, they finally
managed to create a film, where a number of Turkish characters are
fairly presented.

Quoting the words of Taviani brothers, Antonia Arslan expressed hope
that some time the film will be shown in Turkish schools. Speaking
about the first screening of the film, she said the simultaneous
presentation of the film and the book was a great event for
her. Antonia Arslan noted that not being a historian, she tried to
objectively present a story connected with the fate f her own family
and thus tell about many other Armenian families.

It's worth mentioning that The Lark Farm" will be continued. The
author informed that half of the book is ready.

FICTION: JEREMY SEAL PRAISES AN EPIC ACCOUNT OF THE END OF THE
ARMENIAN IDYLL

Ask what happened in Turkey during 1915 and most people will suggest
Gallipoli. An Armenian will answer differently, and with good cause.
It is estimated that one million Armenians, subject peoples of the
Ottoman Empire, were murdered that year across Anatolia. This novel
recounts that genocide, something the Turkish state continues to
deny, as it was experienced

by the extended family of one descendant, Italian-Armenian Antonia
Arslan.

The events that cost the lives of so many of Arslan's relatives - the
massacre of the men and all but one of the boys at the farm which
provides the book's title, and the survivors' subsequent forced march
to Aleppo in Syria - took place some three decades before the
author's birth. Even so, she would grow up with the memories of
surviving relatives such as Aunt Henriette, herself barely an infant
when she was soaked in 'a jet of warm blood' which had 'squirted from
her father's neck' when he was decapitated at Skylark Farm.

Arslan does not flinch when it comes

to recording the horror of the genocide. She devotes the same care,
however, to evoking and exquisitely detailing the privileged place
the family had previously enjoyed in their rural Anatolian Arcadia.
Great Uncle Sempad is a trusting, prosperous chemist in the 'little
city' - never identified - awaiting the imminent visit from Italy of
his brother Yerwant, who will duly be Arslan's grandfather. Sempad
prepares by ordering 'a splendid set of croquet mallets' from England
and by planning 'a nice round gazebo for afternoon tea'. The Italians
enter the war against the Ottomans, however, forcing Yerwant to
cancel his visit just as the nationalist Young Turks make their move
against the Armenians.

So it is that picnics, tennis lawns and tureens give way, overnight,
to the murder and mutilation of the men. It is then the turn of the
women and children to endure rape and starvation as they embark on
the march out of Anatolia. Kurdish tribes descend from the hills to
fall upon the refugees. A 'priest is stripped, his eyes dug out', a
baby is 'skewered on a bayonet'.

The women remain fixed upon achieving their one objective, which is
to deliver Henriette and her two siblings to Aleppo, that ark of the
Armenians.

Epic in sweep and heartbreaking in tone, Skylark Farm is billed as a
novel transformed from the 'obscure memories' that are Arslan's
heritage. It reads rather as a dramatised family memoir, one that
remains in its essentials a factual evocation of the bestiality,
endurance and occasional heroism that attended the liquidation of
Anatolian Armenia.
