Turkish history anyone? Ladies and gentlemen. I want to present to everyone how Turks betrays friends and their own citizens through history. If you have some list I forgot to put here, just put it as a comment.
I want to point out a few things. Let's not be hypocrites. The downing of the Russian jet for just 17 seconds of violating Turkish airspace or should I say, moderate rebel airspace is not just the act of betrayal the Turkish nation as a whole did. There are a few instances where they actually betrayed everyone and costed the lives of innocent people. Let me proceed:
The revolt of Janissaries-Selim III, who had tried to modernize the army along Western European lines.
This modern army Selim III created was called Nizam-ı Cedid. His supporters failed to recapture power before Mustafa IV had him killed, but elevated Mahmud II to the throne in 1808.
The Janissaries killed Selim III based off their own accusations that
the Sultan failed respect the religion of Islam. When the Janissaries
threatened to oust Mahmud II, he had the captured Mustafa executed and
eventually came to a compromise with the Janissaries.
Ever mindful of the Janissary threat, the sultan spent the next years
discreetly securing his position. The Janissaries' abuse of power,
military ineffectiveness, resistance to reform and the cost of salaries
to 135,000 men, many of whom were not actually serving soldiers, had all
become intolerable.
Armenian, Greek and Assyrian genocides-was the Ottoman government's systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects inside their historic homeland, which lies within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey.
The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at
between 800,000 and 1.5 million. The starting date is conventionally
held to be 24 April 1915, the day Ottoman authorities rounded up and
arrested, subsequently executing, some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.
Greek pogrom of 1956-was organized mob attacks directed primarily at Istanbul's Greek minority on 6–7 September 1955. The riots were orchestrated by the Tactical Mobilization Group, the seat of Operation Gladio's Turkish branch; the Counter-Guerrilla, and National Security Service, the precursor of today's National Intelligence Organization.
The events were triggered by the false news that the Turkish consulate in Thessaloniki, in northern Greece—the house where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk had been born in 1881—had been bombed the day before.
A bomb planted by a Turkish usher at the consulate, who was later
arrested and confessed, incited the events. The Turkish press, conveying
the news in Turkey, was silent about the arrest and instead insinuated
that Greeks had set off the bomb.
Kurdish rally explosion-Dozens of people have been killed and scores injured in two
blasts at a peace rally in the Turkish capital, Ankara, officials said.
According to the Turkish government, the explosions appeared to be the
result of suicide bomb attacks. The death toll from the tragedy has reached 95 people, the office of Turkish Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, said. Earlier,
Health Minister, Mehmet Muezzinoglu, said that at least 186 people have
also been injured in the incident, with 28 of them in intensive care.
Downing of the Russian jet-A Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jet shot down a Russian Sukhoi Su-24M bomber aircraft near the Syria–Turkey border on 24 November 2015.
According to Turkey, the aircraft was fired upon while in Turkish airspace
because it violated the border up to a depth of 2.19 kilometres (1.36
miles) for about 17 seconds after being warned to change its heading 10
times over a period of five minutes. The Russia Defence Ministry
denied the aircraft ever left Syrian airspace, counter-claiming that
their satellite data showed that the Sukhoi was about 1,000 metres
(1,100 yd) inside Syrian airspace when it was shot down.
The U.S. State Department said that the U.S. independently confirmed
that the aircraft's flight path violated Turkish territory, and that the
Turks gave multiple warnings to the pilot, to which they received no
response. The Turkish government also said that it did not know the nationality of the aircraft at the time of the incident. Russian president Vladimir Putin
said that the U.S. knew the flight path of the Russian jet and should
have informed Turkey; two U.S. officials said that Russia did not inform
the U.S. military of its jet's flight plan.
As all of you see, I relied on websites but of course whether we saw the truth or not, it's in our hands how to see the Turks as a country of traitors.
