The Man Bit the Dog

YouTube is online in Turkey today! After consequent court bans, the logic of the reporting YouTube stories has changed. Now it is news when YouTube is NOT banned.
As we're enjoying the YouTube connection nowadays, I would like to whisper a conspiracy theory, which can indeed be the truth: It is said that the real reason of the recent ban was not the videos that defame Ataturk.
The user who posted those videos has got other insulting videos against Turkish President Abdullah Gul and PM Tayyip Erdogan as well. The rumour is that the target of Turkish government was to avoid its people to see those clips. The cause about "protecting Ataturk" was just a pretext.
Well, I can easily believe in this theory, because Erdogan government has got a bad record when it comes to facing criticism. Sueing cartoonists, trying to prison journalists, etc...
By the way, I don't think that another YouTube ban would come into force in the near future, especially by relying on the same justification about Ataturk. Because a massive amount of Turkish users finally discovered the "Flag" option of YouTube. Just after the abolishing of the recent ban, thousands of Turkish users flagged those really disgusting videos as "inappropriate" and YouTube acted quickly to suspend the users. So there is no need for court decisions now, as long as the people keep reacting.
PS: Those YouTube users -who are sympathizing with the terrorist organization PKK- were kebab2008 and bourjhamoudkebab.

3/4/10 House panel approves Armenian genocide resolution The House Foreign Affairs Committee endorsed the resolution with a 23-22 vote Thursday, even though the Obama administration had urged Congress not to offend Turkey by approving it. The resolution now goes to the full House,...

Minutes after the vote, Turkey said it was recalling its ambassador from Washington..

@peligraso

You are right. But now Youtube is unblocked in Turkey. Welcome back to all Turkish people ! :)

@tellyoutrue

Okay, so, let me get this straight. The 'prejudiced' western accounts are right when they tell you what you want to hear, but wrong with they support me? Selective reasoning is not advisable. Also, just because it was 1.2-2 million doesn't that the midpoint is the most likely. Also, I have never said that 1.5 million died, period. The 1.5 million figure also includes Armenians who were driven out or forcibly assimilated, which outnumber those who were killed.

Tekrar hoş geldiniz! Götüne koyarim!

@Gunderson002 If the population was between 1.2-2 million, then you should have no problem with the midpoint, 1.5-1.6 million, the common consensus of the time, and of non-partisan educators today. Since genocide proponents agree 1 million Armenians survived, that means 1.5 million could not have possibly died. So is it not dishonest of you to consider this high end?

My sources are mostly Armenian & prejudiced western accounts. You are also being dishonest by saying otherwise. Don't pick sides.

[tellyoutrue]

@Surenity Before making immature and defamatory labels, get your facts straight. No, numbers ARE important. But as you indicated, what is most important are the FACTS that you need to make the charge of an "intent to destroy." So what's your evidence? If the British couldn't come up with this evidence during their 30 month Malta Tribunal investigation, I doubt you will be able to. If you have no evidence, then why insist on genocide? Why should you be a "denialist" of the truth?

[Gunderson002]

@tellyoutrue

No one knows for sure how many Armenians lived in the Ottoman Empire at the time. It varies between 1.2-2 million. Likewise, the number killed in the genocide also varies between 600,000 and 1.5 million.

Also, since you rely mostly on lobbied pseudo-intellectuals and Anti-Armenian rhetoric for your information, there is no reason for me to challenge what you said, because you think you're educated just because you treat the dictionary like the Bible or the Qur'an.

[Surenity]

@tellyoutrue Genocide isn't about numbers but about the intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a group of people. Something you denialists always forget.

@peligraso ....the first ban was in march 2007 beause of the greeks that took 3 days. Since then until January 2008 it got banned 2 other times because of bourjhamouds videos and it got decided by the turkish government to ban youtube since then,
