Don't pander to Turkey
EDITOR: The brutal violence by Turkish presidential guards in
front of the Turkish embassy in Washington -- against a peaceful
demonstration of Americans on their own soil -- is consistent with
past experiences with Turkey.
The present purported Turkish war against the Islamic State is a
camouflage to destroy Kurdish freedom fighters.
Let us not be blackmailed into believing that the United States
needs Turkey more than Turkey needs the U.S. Witness Germany,
which accepted the truth of the doings of the Nazi regime and
became better human beings by doing so. We can help the Turks into
civilization by standing on the truth of history -- the truth
about the Armenian genocide.
Let's not give up on morality and truth just because Turkey
provides us the Incirlik Air Base. Recall that many American lives
were lost unnecessarily in the May 2003 invasion of Iraq because
Turkey did not allow us to invade Iraq through the north.
As an Armenian whose grandparents, several uncles and aunts and a
multitude of family friends died at the hands of Ottoman Turks in
the Armenian Genocide of 1915-23, I consider it an abomination
that Turkey still denies the slaughter.
Moorad Alexanian, Wilmington
