Quote:Duh!Oh, did they?
You're not in power now.
But your brethren did practice them when they could, e.g. the Armenian genocide.
And where did you get the idea that the ones that you blame for this so-called genocide were "nationalists" at all?
The same nationalists who have signed the treaty of Sevres, or were not around to fight when the real nationalists showed up to tear it to pieces?
They were Ottoman loyalists for the most part.
The real nationalists had taken part into the Turkish war of independence.
On the other hand, all of the armenians who had participated into the revolt against the Ottoman empire were... armenian nationalists, as one can't expect anything less.
Quote:Quel misère.Well, what a humanist you are, friend.
As I said, I never expected the likes of you to be sympathetic to our plight, and when I explained that I never trust anyone outside of my own, people tell me I speak of genocide. Of course, should I trust the likes of you to be my brother? You only mock our people and what we have went through. We are all alone, and so we were always.
Quote:Ah, persecution complex, doctor.Persecution complex? There is no complex. Just look at the Turkmen in Iraq, the Azeris in Iran, the Usbeks and Turkmens in Afghanistan, the Turkestanis in Eastern Turkestan, and see that we are some of the most persecuted people on earth.
But anyway, mehmet, you don't strike me as particularly under educated, underprivileged, or in the direst of straits so WTF are you whining about?
It is not about me. It is about my own kin who are suffering in these lands, under the yoke of the foreign.
I, thankfully, am of a family that earns somewhat well, but this is not for what I'm actually thankful. I'm thankful to live amongst my own kin, in a free, Turkish country.
I'd rather live as a poor man in the bosom of Turan, rather than a rich man in foreign lands.
Quote:Except those who slight the Turkish nation.Well, why should not we call our enemies *our enemies*.
Is it incorrect to call your enemy who he is?
Is this in order to demonize your enemy, or to recognize him?
Quote:Do you even know the meaning of the words scapegoating and demonizing?I certainly do. We only point out to our enemies, and show who they are.
Scapegoating and demonizing would be to show an innocent man or nation as the enemy, or as the perpetrator of a crime he/they did not commit.
We do not do such a thing.
We know who the perpetrators are, and we show them to our people, so they can recognize them aswell.
Quote:You lifted that from some political speech of your Führer, didn't you! Admit it!Oh, now you're being funny, eh. I have nothing more to explain to you.
You go your way, I go mine!
