Turkey faces more dangers than ever

General Yasar Buyukanit’s speech at the Turkish Embassy last night,
hosted by Turkish Ambassador to Washington, DC Nabi Sensoy, took
place amidst comments of "Save us Pasha, Turkey is secular, and will
stay secular."

General Buyukanit touched on a variety of different topics, ranging
from the Armenian claims of genocide to Cyprus to the ongoing war in
Iraq. Responding to speculation from some circles that Turkey faced a
threat of "being divided," Buyukanit said "There is no one that could
ever divide Turkey. No one would ever be that brave." Buyukanit began
his speech by warning the audience that "My visit here unfortunately
takes place during a very criticial period of time…..Today Turkey,
since its formation as the Turkish Republic in 1923, has never faced
as many risks and threats as it now faces."

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
