All captive audiences are lectured time and again on the subject of a variety of cataclysms which allegedly occurred to their poor down­trodden Armenian relatives. Never mind the fact that the Armenians were the favorites of the Turkish Sultans.

One thing is certain, though; the dates of these horrible events may constantly be changing. They could be referred to, at times, as having happened between the years of 1915 and 1916, at other times between 1914 and 1922. The most popular of them lately, has been the one of 1915 to 1923.

However, this tedious, monotonous and definitely confusing work, is a labor of love for these unwavering, obdurate Armenians. Their work is believed to be generating from ghetto-like enclaves of Southern California. In ‘Silicon Valley’ alone 200,000 of them live, and many of them infiltrate the local computer-age cyber companies where they unload their one-sided views on the mythology of “genocide.” Unknown to these captive audiences is the fact that the “disinformatsia” the Armenians are passing on to their listeners, is worse than its original form employed by the Soviet Union’s KGB apparatchiks.

The product these people are disseminating comes from their “mental rumination.” because they feed each other constantly stories of the distant past, most of them are, the purposefully-embellished semi-fictional stories depicting vague events allegedly taken place in geographically untraceable locales, with funny sounding Armenian names having replaced the original ethnic Turkish ones. Armenians make out of all this, a lucrative propaganda Industry. By collecting, packaging and peddling around these mythical fables passed on from generation to generation, rehashed by semi-senile grandmoth­ers with their characteristically confused memories, they score success after success and thus recruit new turcophobes.

The well-known French writer, and member of the “Academie Francaise,” Pierre Loti, despised the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire when he lived there and had dealings with them intimately on a personal basis. He is rumored to have said once: “…their vociferous blabber is the only claim to fame.”

Actually, there could be no objection to what they’re saying and writing among themselves. But this is not the case at all. With great deliberation and determination, they use every cunning methodology and ‘modus operandi’ to disseminate these venomous views of theirs, and shove them down the throats of the uninterested American public and Media. This is the saddest part of the whole story, because, in most cases the same Media accepts their drivel without further research or verification of authenticity. And the newspapers represented by the members of the Press, publish them verbatim, swallowing hook, line and sinker, every falsehood provided to them by the Armenian organizations. However, there seems to be an awakening observed of late. Some of the members of state legislatures are speaking up, saying:

“Resolutions dealing with 85 year old political events which may or may have not occurred, at another part of the world should have no relevance to the affairs of the state we represent in this country today.”

 

What Adolph Hitler Did Not Say! The oft referred to infamous “quotation” of Adolph Hitler: “Who still speaks today of the extermination of the Armenians” etc… is as phony as a three dollar bill. Hitler had never uttered those words. However, he is reputed to have used frequently the following quotation, which sounds like it was borrowed from his Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels:

“The more you repeat a lie, the more it becomes the truth.” To be able to give a more authoritative answer to the above Hitler quotation, let us read a short passage from Prof. Dr. Turkkaya Ataov, Chairman, International Relations Division, Ankara, Turkey. Professor Ataov categorically refutes the quotation and says in part:

“As a matter of fact, Hitler had probably made only one reference to the Armenians in a talk delivered on December 12, 1942, in which he described them as unreliable (unzuverlassig) and dangerous (gefahrlich.).”

Adolph Hitler was not the only one who had negative feelings about the Armenians. It was Pierre Loti, the French novelist and world traveler, whose name was mentioned above proudly defended the Turkish position, when others sided with the Armenians because they were closer to their religious feelings and beliefs. Loti knew the Turks intimately for having lived in Turkey and written books about his friends, the Turks, about whom he once said the following: “Their loyalty… unblemished honesty...endless hospitality... religious tolerance ...moral elegance and natural tact, do give affectionately deposition for the Turks in front of great Tribunal of Humanity. Letters continue to arrive to me everyday, from officers, soldiers, even Catholic priests, who were able to know them closely at the Dardanelles and who remain amazed to have found the Turks to be as I had described them.

One of the most touching came from a soldier who had been their prisoner for a long time, to express his tender gratification of the Turks who took care of him with brotherly love. Thank God, the truth about them is beginning to make headway at home.” (France)…. He continues, “To speak ...about the Armenian race is for me more painful than one would believe, because the amount of their unfortunate ‘incidents’ rendered me almost scared; also... If I were able to claim and support that all the French who have lived in Turkey, even our monks and nuns, give the Turks their esteem and their affection, on the contrary, I believe that we would find barely one out of a hundred of us who has good memories of these ‘unfortunate’ Armenians. All who have had any relationship whatsoever with them, mundane or business — business affairs above all — were turned away with antipathy.”

There are other testimonials . The well-known student of Turkish affairs, Dr.Stephan Ronart wrote the following in his, “La Turquie d’Aujourd’hui” The Turkey of Today, Paris 1937:

Three times in the same millennium, Turks have built three intercontinental empires — the mightiest that history has ever recorded. This expansive spirit has always been the normal pattern in Turkish social life.

None of these early Turkish empires allowed the slightest religious intolerance to take hold among themselves, nor did they advance the superiority of one faith or of one sect over another.

 

Alphonse de Lamartime, in his 9 volume essay on Turks wrote long before anyone else that Turks were generous and sensitive, that their country was that of gentle, heroic people. He proclaimed that to be the foe of such a people would be like being the foe of humanity. He finished his words by saying:

“God preserve me from such a sin.”

Having remembered the injustices perpetrated on the Turkish people by the Armenians and Greeks in these United States, and having just finished reading the above unsolicited testimonials, I cannot refrain myself from asking the following question:

“Could our ancestors ever commit the crimes they are accused of’ Were the Turks of the old Ottoman Empire capable of harboring within their hearts a burning desire compelling them to annihilate a human race, the Ottoman Armenians? Invariably the answer comes up a resounding “NO,” no, no, never!

There are times when I find it impossible to comprehend the enormity of the accusation we Turks have been confronted with. To be able to endure for a long time, such a horrendous indictment, a “Genocide” we had to be totally innocent of the charges and we are. There was no such thing as a “Genocide.”

For those who ask themselves, Turks were such a fair, magnanimous, and gentle people, why then would the Armenians in Diaspora accuse them of such a horrendous crime as Genocide?” Here’s the answer which they will never accept because it runs against their profitable enterprise of GENOCIDE.COM.

They will always refute the truth. The wholesale Armenian insurgence in the Ottoman Empire for a pipe dream called Independence and the extortion of a piece of valuable Turkish real estate did not pan out ever since the Armenians have been playing the role of “bad losers” and selling a deportation/resettlement issue as plain old “Genocide.”

But why take the prejudicial words of a person like me? Why not listen to the an American, General James G, Harbord, the head of the U.S. Government’s investigative Commission, sent to Anatolia in the fall of 1919 by none other than President Woodrow Wilson? In his report to President Woodrow Wilson, and to the U.S Congress, General James G. Harbord said the following: “The Turks and the Armenians lived in peace, side by side for centuries; that the Turks suffered as much as the Armenians at the time of the deportations, that at the start of World War I and before, Armenians never had anything approaching a majority of the population in the territories they called “Armenia”; they would not have a majority even if all the deported Armenians were returned; and the claims that returning Armenians would be in danger were not justified.”

Finally as a definitive answer the accusations of the profitable Armenian Enterprise “GENOCIDE.COM” and to its tireless contributors, we have here, one more time, for every Armenian see and to learn by heart, the official words used on the declaration of the British Government from the island of Malta, where 140 high ranking Ottoman government officials suspected of having engineered the “Genocide” were incarcerated, and then let go free the end of their third year of imprisonment in 1921. From 13 July 1922: British Foreign Office Archives, 371/ 6504/8519, Mr. R.C.Craigie of American Archives in Washington, D.C. written to Lord Curzon, of England saying that:

“I regret to inform your lordship that there was nothing therein which could he used as evidence against the Turks who are presently being detained at Malta... no concrete facts being given which could constitute satisfactory incriminating evidence… the reports in question do not appear, in any case, to contain evidence against the Turks.”

I’d like to bring this essay to a close with the words one more time of the great friend of the Turks Pierre Loti who in his book : “Fantome d’Orient” (1928) wrote: “One should be blind to history not to understand the Turks.

The dignified silence of the Turks against the mounting unjustified attacks and mean slanders can only be explained by their pity for the blind.

…How beautifully this attitude of theirs answers the undignified calumnies.”
