Armenian writer Dabayian: I am more Turkish than most
People in the audience at a seminar on the Armenian genocide question rose
to their feet in applause when Armenian writer Levon Panos Dabayian, a guest
on the panel, said “We are all Turks here. I am more Turkish than most even.
If there were a war with Armenia today, “elhamdulillah” I would fight
against them.” The seminar’s title was “Historical Truths and the Armenian
Problem from Every Angle,” and it was held at the General Headquarters of
the Turkish Metal Industry buildings.
A Turkish citizen, Dabayian also noted that there was in fact no real
Armenian problem, but that it had been imported as an issue. The writer
ended by saying, “We are all Turks here. The pain in me is Turkish pain.”
