Genocide resolution should pass

By: JIM HORN - Commentary

A brouhaha is brewing regarding the proposed resolution ---- the timing is an issue ---- to recognize the Turkish genocide directed at Armenians ninety years ago when more than 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered by Turks. During the two years I lived in Turkey, I got to know and understand the Turks and Armenians, as well as other downtrodden minority groups in that country.

The resolution is a Democratic initiative and President Bush is trying to block it, claiming the resolution will provoke the Turks to cut off routes used to supply our bases in Iraq.

The Turks are angry at Iraqi Kurds who harbor guerrillas who have been attacking Turks in support of Turkish Kurds who want independence from Turk oppression. The Turks are threatening to mount a significant incursion across the border into Iraq to attack the Kurds, the most successful of the three major Iraqi groups in self-government. In this attack, the Turks would cut those supply lines anyhow.


The resolution is driving the Turks batty because they want to control how we Americans manage our internal affairs. Their threatening to cut off routes through Turkey that we use to supply our bases ---- and Iraqi Kurds ---- if it passes is just an excuse they are using in support of their argument to attack Iraq.

While the Turks were a useful ally during the Cold War, the Cold War is over and that alliance means nothing now. The Turks needed us more than we needed them because Joe Stalin was ready to trounce them, and NATO gave the Turks protection.

The Turks sabotaged our pre-invasion plans in Iraq. They have been the most useless, costly and problematic NATO partner in the alliance, repeatedly in disputes with a more stalwart NATO partner, Greece.

If the Turks cut off our supply lines into Iraq or attack Iraq ---- the Iraqi Kurds ---- they should be booted out of NATO, and all American and European military assistance to Turkey should be cut off. They no longer need it. They are no longer threatened by the USSR.

A clarifying note: The so-called Turks garnered a reputation of incredible ferocity during the Korean war. The reality is that the "Turks" who fought so valiantly were in fact Kurdish conscripts, along with conscripted Christian Armenians, Assyrians, Bulgars and Greeks. The only contribution the Turks made was their officers and senior noncoms who stood behind the conscripts with machine guns at the ready to gun down any who faltered.

A congressional vote for the resolution would be well-deserved recognition for the significant contributions Armenian-Americans have made to America, a lot more than the Turks have contributed.

TURKS ARE NOT armenian YOU FOOL, WE ARE A OLDER TRIBE WHICH HAS NO BLOOD CONNECTIONS TO YOUR LYING BASTARDS.

WHAT ABOUT THE MILLIONS OF TURKS KILLED BY armenians AND THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF THE AZERI TURKS MORE RECENTLY, SHAME ON YOU.

DEATH TO ALL OF YOU.

[nudder62]

The (spell it like this) "Saljuq Upshot" at google shows us that sinc ebefore 1071 AD Turks (Saljuq) were stealing Armenian girls by the thousands. Armenian boys? Devshirme (blood tax). Ottoman Turks (85% Armenian at this point) sprang forth from the Saljuq-Armenized "tribes."

[nudder62]

Arabs brought Cemntral Mongolian Asia's hairless Turks as slaves/soldiers during the decadent period of Arabic Islamic world power. The TURKS indeed HAD no connection to the Indo-European, Christian Armenians, who lived on the same lands for 4 millenia before the merciless Turkish invasions and forced conversions and confiscations and 9 centuries of thievery. The Mongolian steppes housed the TRIBES of marauding thieves known as TURCO-MONGOLS. The great WALL OF CHINA was built to keep you OUT!

16ufuked THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS, YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT ALL BY YOUSELF WITH NO HELP OF MINE, ONCE IN A WHILE USE YOUR BRAIN, TURKEY POPULATION IS MUCH HIGHER THAN ANCIENT ARMENIANS WHO EXISTED WAY BEFORE TURKISH PEOPLE, YOU SLAUGHTERD THEM ALL, RAPED AND TORTURED THEM ALL, AND THAT IS WHY YOU BARBARIANS HAVE SUCH HIGH POPULATION, WE DON"T CARE ABOUT THAT, WE HAVE GEVOK CHAVUSH BLOOD PUMPING IN VEINS, TURKY IS GUILTY OF GENOCIDE.

[nudder62]

Your language is absolutely and 100% from the same origin as modern MONGOLIAN. The truth stings. Also, I'd rathe rbe Mongolian than Turkish, myself, I agree with you on that. ;P As for a heritag based on thievery and deceit (feigned friendship was Osman Ghazi's MAIN foreign policy) and the UPSHOT SALJUQ (look up UPSHOT SALJUQ on google and spell it like that) phenomenon (stealing Armenians) I'd guess you would rather make me Muslim like yourself than cut me and wear me like a hat.

Sevres Treaty! Turks are invaders ( Asian steppes) Look in mirror. Do you see a Turco-Mongol or an Armenian? Your kitchen has ARMENIAN FRUITS! You are SUCH a thief people! Face your past. LOOK! truth: Most of your ancestors were stolen Armenian girls who were forced to bear children for ugly Mongols. Face the truth. Most of your male ancestors across centuries were stolen Armenian boys. Look up DEVSHIRME. Look up JANISSARY. Look up BLOOD TAX and KISHLAK and HAREM ABDUCTION sYsTeM. Hagop Dilachar

What you should, however, do is to hit the gym and lose 4000 lbs, did you swallow a pig?

[varnastan1965]

the turkish history is full of atrocities and genocide, on the top the genocide against the armenian brothers and sisters in 1915 as well as against the bulgarians, kurds, serbians, greeks and the list of their crime goes on and on, the famous saying of their criminal kemal ataturk is happy is he who call him self murderous turk.

[GaroArmen]

fellow armenians,lets redouble our efforts for H.r.106,we never came this close,renergize,refocus to our national agenda.

[nudder62]

The criminal kills the woman, man, child and leaves a couple of kids, one is stolen and converted to another religion and then the killer's child, who kept all the GOLD and HOMES and LANDS and even F_CKED the STOLEN CHILD says: "PAST IS THE PAST." So you KEEP THE FRUITS OF GENOCIDE, THEN?

Ever hear of THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT? You Are A PRODUCT of youR PAST!

[nudder62]

"The Turkish denial [of the Armenian Genocide] is probably the foremost example of historical perversion. With a mix of academic sophistication and diplomatic thuggery -- of which we at Macquarie University have been targets -- the Turks have put both memory and history into reverse gear."

[nudder62]

In other words: TURKEY DID A GENOCIDE AND HAS DENIED JUSTICE FOR DECADES AND IT IS TIME FOR ARMENIANS TO LET GO? Nope. We will follow you and hound you till you look in the mirror and admit you are 85% Armenian -- sons and daughters of STOLEN and FORCIBLY-converted-to-Islam former CHRISTIAN boys and girls. Apologize for JANISSARY and HAREM ABDUCTION system, apologize for massacres and Genocide.
