Turkey

Apparently according to you guys Turkish history books don't teach the right things. "You are soooo cultured and apparently made a lot of researches"!!!! (or watch TV and read wikipedia a lot)
How come you are sure that your history facts are not based on lies? Because for me this is the answer you give when you can not find answer to certain questions.
Are you all historians or working with historians? Have you read all the history books existing to decide what is right or wrong?

Say the democrats pulled through the genocide lie to push Bush into the corner. Bush is likely to go in November 2008. Do the democrats really think Turkey is that stupid to be misused for the internal political issues in the U.S. and will
support U.S. interests in the Middle East after the democrats come in power? Do they really think Turkey would forget a betrayal as such? Do they think Turkey doesn´´t know about the secret plans of Pentagon to invade a series of Muslim countries in the region and finally Turkey at the end of that?
Do the democrats not realize that the Muslims hate the republicans for what they have been doing in Iraq, Afganistan and Gantanamo and the loss of democrats would mark the ultimate break up with the U.S. ?

How can answer an American " Does the vote by certain members of our Congress does not reflect the positive feelings we in America have about Turkey and its peoples? "

Members of the US House of Representatives passed a measure condemning Turkey for genocide against the Armenians during World War I. As an American, I beg you not to be offended. The condemnation has little to do with Turkey or its peoples.

The US is approaching its presidential elections. The opposing party, the Democrat Party, is attempting to disrupt our country’s friendship with Turkey in order to embarrass President Bush. By undertaking this measure, the Democrats hope to strain our relationship in order to encourage the Turkish government to halt its assistance to the war on terror and to the US in particular.

Don’t be fooled or offended. THE VOTE BY CERTAIN MEMBERS OF OUR CONGRESS DOES NOT REFLECT THE POSITIVE FEELINGS WE IN AMERICA HAVE ABOUT TURKEY AND ITS PEOPLES.

Broken Angel.
The movie that many Turkish-Americans have been waiting for over a year now is in its last stages of editing before it hits the theaters in late December or early January.
Adapted by Leslie Bates-Buyukturkoglu from the novel by Tulay Pirlant and directed by Aclan Bates-Buyukturkoglu, Executive Produced by Kevin Corchiani and produced by Leslie Bates-Buyukturkoglu, Chris Moore and John Safyurtlu. The quality of the acting and directing in Broken Angel has exceeded expectations so much so that it is currently being submitted to Sundance for its US premiere.
Starring Nehir Erdogan, Aysenil Arda, Nilufer Acikalin and Hollywood heartthrob Patrick Muldoon, Broken Angel benefits from American cinematography techniques and carries the European artistic sensibility, all the while passionately moving and bonding with its audience in a typical Turkish style.

When the terror is actual, we say what it is. Is it OK when it is intellectual?

Diaspora Armenians are threatening historians who oppose their claims.

Diaspora Armenians threaten newspapers that have the nerve to publish any article that show that there may be another side to the story.

They threaten PMs that donot speak like they want them to.

They threaten ambassadors that deny using the terms they would like used.

When it is actual, we call this fascism. Why don't we say it for what it is when intellectual?

What the diaspora Armenians is doing is intellectual terrorism. It kills free speech.

Ideas, please, based on a little intellect. And no insulting and slandering.

seeing that it had never committed anything as such in its entire history of over 600 years. Why would an empire need to do that, while fighting against British, French, Russians, Greeks and many more at the same time (WW1) ? If it was because of any logical reason, why not earlier, when it had all the power and resources to do so? Why at the peak of its weakest time in the history, just a couple of years before it ceased to exist? What conflicts in the history of 600 years before 1915 can you name between the Ottoman Empire and Armenians that could build up to a genocide?
Hard to find an explaination isn´t it?

Turks, I think here’s the hottest discussion ever; may I ask your opinion about independent Kurdistan? I think the public opinion in Turkey should be prepared to the idea of giving Turkish Kurdistan complete independence; my reasons:
1) separating from Kurdistan will increase Turkish mono-ethnicity and stability;
2) it’s better to have a friendly or neutral (or even unfriendly) neighbour than an enemy inside;
3) no nation was ruined because of losing some territory with foreign population, e.g. GB, France, Russia; there’s nothing essentially valuable in Kurdistan; let them solve their own problems themselves, or sooner or later the whole Turkey will work for them to bribe their loyalty;
4) history says: all nations grow out of their cradles sooner or later, unless they are assimilated on their own good will; (very few examples though);

Who thinks that the USA jeapordized their position in Turkey (Bush certainly does) by saying the Armenians died with the Genocide.
I am American and personally I have never met an honest Armenian and I live in Watertown MA home of most Armenians in the USA. They are usually drug dealers and their women are sleazy and all have this chip on their shoulders about this so called Genocide. Turks are genuinely nice people and the Ottoman Empire was good to everyone even giving the Jews religious freedom.
Personally I think the House had no reason to make this stupid decision (regardless how I feel) only because NOW Turkey, America's ONLY Muslim ally in the Middle East is now compromised. The Armenians offer the USA nothing but spicy good where the Turks offered us their airbases and ports. BIG mistake today!

We all know that the issue of the slaughter of Armenians at the beginning of the 20th century is currently in the news. The US is discussing it in terms of "genocide"- see statements from W before he was elected calling it a genocide. Turkey maintains that the slaughter was not systematic and to eradicate the Armenian people, and is extremely offended by the actions of the US.

So, people in Turkey today (esp young people)- what are your thoughts on:
a. This current issue
b. The slaughter of Armenians. Was it or was it not a genocide, and should it be labeled as such?
c. The responsibility of the CURRENT Turkish gov't

I'm really interested to hear your thoughts

You, me, and the rest of the Yahoo Turkey community was never alive when the "supposed" genocide occured, so why should we have to discuss this issue if the US can't even discuss their issues?
