Following my anti-Turkish State criticisms, i would discuss why the Turkish Republic's denial of the Armenian genocide is a mortal sin and not recognizing it means not recognizing this Turkish state did when the Young Turks(by Kemal Ataturk himself) ordered the killing of not just 1.5 million Armenians but also Greeks, Syriacs, and others that are Christians, for the sake of a Turkey for the Turks.
Here are excerpts from Wikipedia about the genocide:
As allies during the war, the Imperial German mission in the Ottoman
Empire included both military and civilian components. Germany had
brokered a deal with the
Sublime Porte to commission the building of a railroad called the
Baghdad Railway
that would stretch from Berlin to the Middle East. At the beginning of
1915, Germany's diplomatic mission was led by Ambassador
Hans Freiherr von Wangenheim who, upon his death in 1915, was succeeded by Count
Paul Wolff Metternich.
Like Morgenthau, von Wangenheim began receiving many disturbing
messages from consular officials around the Ottoman Empire that detailed
the massacres of Armenians. From the province of
Adana, Consul Eugene Buge reported that the CUP chief had sworn to massacre any Armenians who had survived the deportation marches.
[30]:186
In June 1915, von Wangenheim sent a cable to Berlin reporting that
Talaat had admitted that the deportations were not "being carried out
because of 'military considerations alone'". One month later, he came to
the conclusion that there "no longer was doubt that the Porte was
trying to exterminate the Armenian race in the Turkish Empire".
The Russian Empire's response to the bombardment of its Black Sea naval
ports was primarily a land campaign through the Caucasus. Early
victories against the Ottoman Empire from the winter of 1914 to the
spring 1915 saw significant gains of territory, including relieving the
Armenian bastion resisting in the city of Van in May 1915. The Russians
also reported encountering the bodies of unarmed civilian Armenians as
they advanced.
[115] In March 1916, the scenes they saw in the city of
Erzurum
led the Russians to retaliate against the Ottoman III Army whom they
held responsible for the massacres, destroying it in its entirety.
On the Middle Eastern front, the British military was engaged fighting the Ottoman forces in southern Syria and
Mesopotamia. British diplomat
Gertrude Bell filed the following report after hearing the account from a captured Ottoman soldier:
The battalion left Aleppo on 3 February and reached Ras al-Ain in
twelve hours ... some 12,000 Armenians were concentrated under the
guardianship of some hundred Kurds ...
These Kurds were called gendarmes, but in reality mere butchers; bands
of them were publicly ordered to take parties of Armenians, of both
sexes, to various destinations, but had secret instructions to destroy
the males, children and old women ... One of these gendarmes confessed
to killing 100 Armenian men himself ... the empty desert cisterns and
caves were also filled with corpses ...[45]:327
Winston Churchill
described the massacres as an "administrative holocaust" and noted that
"the clearance of the race from Asia Minor was about as complete as
such an act, on a scale so great, could well be. ... There is no
reasonable doubt that this crime was planned and executed for political
reasons. The opportunity presented itself for clearing Turkish soil of a
Christian race opposed to all Turkish ambitions, cherishing national
ambitions that could only be satisfied at the expense of Turkey, and
planted geographically between Turkish and Caucasian Moslems".
The countries that recognized the genocide are the following:
- Argentina
- Armenia
- Belgium
- Canada
- Chile
- Cyprus
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Lithuania
- Lebanon
- Netherlands
- Poland
- Russia
- Slovakia
- Sweden
- Switzerland
- Uruguay
- Vatican City
- Venenzuela
Well, the genocide is one thing that even politicians should do and put the shame on the state that Ataturk build. Building that state from the blood of the Christian minority from the Armenian genocide, forced conversion of the Serbs during the Ottoman times, the 1956 Constantinople pogrom and the continuing racism by the Turkish state against the Greeks, Armenians and the Syriacs to this day.
Shame on Turkey for they want to be known in the world, trying to convert people to Sunni Muslim before marrying, being abusive and just want to be a naturalized citizen. Here in Japan, Turks just want VISA from divorced Filipinas. I am not scared to say this because i hate that Turkish state for denying the genocide and expose their garbaged packed idealism. Turkish men can do what they want trying to assimilate non-Turkish people into their own or brainwashing the Bosniaks and Albanians or trying to seduce some nationalities(including Filipinas) for their masculine body or their money but when the whole world recognizes the genocide, let's have a requiem for the Turkish State's demise and the destruction of racism.
