hi jerky, if you are as beautiful as your avatar then you shouldn't have any problems with boys. lol (joking)
By the way, I like your hairstyle and your eyes too. Unfortunately, I am too old for you and married. Therefore, I leave it to young Turks to woo you in a gentle manner, the way you deserve it lady.
In the meantime, why don't you spend a holiday on the Turkish Aegean or Mediterranean coast? There are more than 1000 5star hotels,most of which are on all inclusive basis. You can swim, get a suntan, and enjoy the delicious Turkish and international cuisines in the restaurants. Be careful when you drink raki. If you are not used to it, it will hit you hard!
Have a nice time.

"Attack on a mosque by Armenians"

A French Newspaper Honestly Looks at Armenians (1895)

The following is from the illustrated supplement of Le Petit Journal (Nov. 24, 1895,no. 262, page 375; the circulation was one million a day), a modest newspaper of eight pages.

The back page featured another picture, depicting a scene of a mob massacring others in front of a mosque; the title: "Events of the East - Attack on a Mosque byArmenians."
Perhaps this was the only time in the Western press where Armenians were shown as the massacrers! (And how remarkable the newspaper was from... France.) Yet this was their whole schtick; the terrorist Dashnaks or Hunchaks would fire the first shot, as usual, in hopes of inciting the Muslims to massacre Armenians; such would in turn provide European imperialists the excuse to intervene. The strategy proved unsuccessful, and the later tactic became to ally themselves with an Ottoman enemy, preferably during war.

"Attack on a mosque by Armenians"
The translation into English (from the Turkish) comes courtesy of Sukru Aya,The front page of this publication featured an engraved picture of three Ottoman Officers standing near the palace of Sultan Abdulhamid II; the title: THE OTTOMAN ARMY. (See below.)
1. Sadik Bey, infantry colonel, aide-de-camp
2. Riza bey , cavalry commander, aide-de-camp
3. Chefket Bey, Lt. Colonel, Artillery

Events of the East
Those who expect personal benefits would not hesitate to create a storm within a glass of water, and in particular would exaggerate the incidents in the East.
Treaties authorize many nations of Europe to intervene in Turkish affairs, when the necessity is demonstrated. Those who have good intentions pay great care when using this right. Others who would stand to benefit would take even the smallest incident and exaggerate it, or may even create such an incident to take advantage.

This is also the cause of why the troubles in Armenia are given more importance than in the past.
Regarding reprisals, the Ottoman consulate in Paris has issued the following note:
“For quite some time, the correspondents of the foreign press are reporting the news concerning the situation in Turkey in the most somber colors; sometimes they are plots, imprisonments, executions which feed the inventive spirit of these correspondents; sometimes they are massacres of Christians of which the proportions vary according to the individual appreciation of each one, and which they claim, that took place.
In the presence of this voluntarily biased campaign, the Paris embassy of the Ottoman Empire finds it necessary to inform the public, in response to all of these sensational rumors. As it is the case in all other countries of the world, some local disturbances which were intended to be related to the general situation of the empire, but could not provide expected new effects in public disorder, have been suppressed The administration will not hesitate to punish those who disturb the public order.
The generous intentions of his highness the Sultan for all his subjects, without distinction of race or religion, are well known all over the world and inspire all administration officials, for the tranquility and progress of the people.
The Turkish government is sufficiently armed to put down the seditions of the Armenians. Our director, M. Marinoni, had the occasion of being assured of all of this personally.
In his voyage to Constantinople, he was received by the Sultan who is extremely open to progress and had a very sincere and warm conversation. Thereafter the Sultan appointed one of his adjutants to show him the military possibilities they possess.
Mr. Marinoni saw in maneuvers these admirable soldiers who at Plevna made a heroic resistance which is immortalized, the marvelously disciplined men and their officers who would follow their Sultan up to death, and which would assure them the eternal happiness, when dying in fight with the enemy.
Our director visited the arsenal of Top-Hane, one of the best in the world, and their production of the most perfect arms, in considerable quantities.
He talked with officers such as you see in the front page for long periods, and was highly impressed of their military education, their knowledge of combat and their love for the army as a soldier.
The situation in Armenia, we repeat, does not present any serious danger; but if the incidents, although it seems impossible, develop for the worse, the Sultan with his wide knowledge and sharp intelligence, will surely triumph.
In other words, there is no need to worry for this little spark, which is being spoken of in Europe for much more that called for; If this is to be left to the authority of the Sultan, he will surely know how to handle the few insurgents.

NONE. Since there hasn't been ANY Armenian genocide whatsoever, NONE OF US sees any reason to apologize to nobody.
