A people without culture and history, except that which they have stolen from others, cannot be expected to preserve such beauty.

shoddy 50 year age dams are more important to turkey than thousands of years of history and world heritage.

Good on you for showing your true colours to the world, and staying in that time capsule of 1915-1923.

[billkota]

The Turk makes it Illegal to mention word, "genocide", for to question its past, would have to openly talk about its Genocidal tendancies of the past, which they still try to hide from the world after nearly 100 years. To entomb these artifacts in the name of progress without much care , and play down there importance to the past, is there way of trying to complete the final genocidal act of Ingnorance and denial.

[billkota]

The turk doesnt want anyone to question, or delve into its barbaric past, and in doing shows the real face of modern turkishness, which, still to this day, hasnt changed in the majority. The method and position of the beurocracy in Turkey today, is to hide , never mention, or show anything of its original founding races who had inhabited this country since pre- 800yrs BC. Solution for the Turk?? To bury, hide, and never mention any reference to the past, then deny anything else ever existed.

[billkota]

If you look at most of Turkeys famous historic monuments and sites, they were not created by the Turk, they were created by the Greeks, armenians, assyrians, Kurds etc etc. These races were the developers of all these sites. Yet Turkey never mentions, or raises that they were the true inhabitants of this land. Not one mention in any Tourist brochure or monument brochure. Because to do so, would open questioning.

[billkota]

To understand the real turk, you have to dealve into there past. Modern Turkey will not allow this to happen, because to do so, you surface its dark and barbaric past. They mention Roman artifacts and cities, mind you, all mosaics were all inscribed in the greek language, as Turks (Ottomans/Seljuks), did not exist in this land till the mid 1400's.
