Stephen Kinzer’s March 8 commentary "Turkey should pause before a
mirror" reflects all that is wrong with so called western journalism
as it pertains to Turkey. The Turks committed Genocide against the
Armenians, this is an open and shut case not open to discussion with
the ideological heirs to the mass murderers who rule Turkey today. In
addition, the Turks committed Genocide against the Greeks and the
Assyrians also. Mr. Kinzer’s commentary is unethical owing to its
dishonest stance in favor of the Turkish dictatorship.

Mr. Kinzer mocks and ridicules the Greek communities of Constantinople
and the islands of Imbros and Tenedors, as well as the citizens of the
Republic of Cyprus by pronouncing that Turkey is a democracy. The
systematic destruction of the Greek Christian minorities, the
ongoing terrorist attacks against the Ecumenical Patriarchate, and
the closure of the Patriarchal School of Theology prove that Turkey
is no democracy. Turkey’s brutal invasions of Cyprus resulted in
the ethnic cleansing of 200,000 Greek Cypriots but these victims of
Turkish madness and terror have no value for Mr. Kinzer and other
Turkish quislings, anymore than the victims that came before them.

Turkey has no significance for the United States. That such a
preposterous claim can be put forward in the midst of overwhelming
evidence showing the deep anti-American feelings in Turkey which have
been reflected in Ankara’s refusal to assist Washington in Iraq and by
the popularity of anti-American films such as "Valley of the Wolves
Iraq" demonstrate the utterly deceitful nature of journalists and
others friendly to Turkey, who willfully overlook that Turkey is a
major threat to American security interests, as well as refusing to
admit that Turkey has been, and remains guilty of some of the most
heinous crimes against humanity that were perpetrated during the
twentieth century.
