Drawing parallels between the sufferings of the Jews living in
Germany during the second world war and that of the warring Armenians
with in the Ottoman territories is baseless and contrary to the
historical facts (although it could be convenient for some).The so
called thousands of pictures,films,testimonials and other irrefutable
proofs mentioned in Mr.Chaoud ‘s letter are allegations and most of
them have been proven to be fake.
The resolution of the American congress is meant only for internal
consumption.
Ebbing Ottoman Turkey was at war with Russia at the time and is being
stabbed in the back by Armenians instigated by the western missionaries
operating within the Ottoman territories .
Relocation of Armenians within the Ottoman borders was an action of
self defence. Blaming Ottoman Turkey for defending herself instead
of blaming the instigating missionaries and the Armenian militants
(tashnak) for sufferings of the relocation is not fair.
Turkey has offered the Ottoman archives to historians from all
countries and has nothing to hide. There is no empire in the history
of the world with such a clean record despite the fact that it was one
of the longest lasting ones. Middle East lived its longest period of
peace under the administration of the Ottomans and this was not done
done by "shameful butchery" as put by Mr.Chaoud.
Please do not carry your obsessions to your next generations. Let them
leave in peace. Support the initiatives to open the border between
Armenia and Turkey for the benefit of both countries (Already 70
thousand Armenians from Armenia are illegally working in Turkey) .
Support the idea of allowing the historians to all available archives
including the ones in Armenia.
Thinking too much in the lines of racial conflicts of the past only
helps to prepare ground for future sufferings.
