On the “Armenian Resolutions”,
“Discriminations” and the ongoing “Threats” to the Turkish-Americans… - Open Letter as Pdf file

Dear Mr. President:

I am writing this letter for below three requests using my first individual and defense rights that secured by the “First Amendment of the Constitutional” for “freedom of expression” and “every human being has a right to live in dignity and prosperity.”

My three Requests are:
1) Ratification of the Republic of Turkey by the U.S. Senate.
2) Withdrawing of the Armenian Resolution from the U.S. House and Senate considerations forever.
3) The Annual U.S. President’s Speech on the Armenian Claims in reference to the 1915 should not continue or equally should represent the loses of the Ottomans and Turks as well as all to respect and include all other major casualties within the related date/s that were caused by the U.S. and other imperial powers throughout the 20th Century, and up today.

Sukru Server Aya

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Thank you for sharing this time with me in your busy daily lives. A Turkish proverb says “for friendship, animals sniff but humans talk to each other”! As you may know, I am a listener, a reader, an average concerned decent person like you. I am no teacher, preacher, and not even a speaker and you can see it from reading my speech I prepared as a conversation with you. I will make my introduction as short as possible so I or we can hear your questions and try to uncover truth.

To acquaint you with my principles, let me quote a sentence from page 43 of the e-book < Reconstruction in Turkey: A Series of Reports Compiled for the American Committee of Armenian and Syrian Relief (1918) William H. Hall (Editor). “American schools have aimed very decidedly at high standard of scholarship but their primary aim has been character building. Their training in morality and control has been their drawing card. >

Bilgi Universitesi

Another controversial conference took place at the Bilgi University where several foreign Professors spoke about their yearnings for the Sevr Agreement, ignoring the accomplishments of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk who prevented the establishment of a Kurdistan and Ermenistan, the dream of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson. Among those who sent messages to the Conference were Egemen Bagıs, Faruk Nafiz Ozak and İstanbul Mayor Kadir Topbas.

The star attraction was Rachel Dink, the wife of late Hrant Dink, who had spoken at the same hall during the infamous September 24-25, 2005 Conference. She stated that discrimination based on ethnic or religious background still persists and claimed that the Turks owe an apology to the Armenians for the events of 1915, forgetting that the Armenian rebels started the massacres and were the cause of the Armenian re-locations. Perhaps, a collective apology, including all the Western powers who instigated the issue plus the Armenians together with the Turks should apologise for all the wrongdoings, as was suggested earlier.

Sukru Aya

At about this time every year the Turkish government engages in political antics, the purpose of which is to counter any incremental success Armenians have achieved in their quest for recognition of the Turkish genocide of 1.5 million Armenians.

The Governments for the past 40 years have not taken this fabricated accusation (without any legal or documented foundation)…nor the absurdity of killing 1.5 millions out of a total of 1.3  or 1.4 millionsl population but leaving a balance of 1.4 millions living at the end of 1921. Somebody is deliberately lying!

During April 1915, under the guise of World War I, the Turkish government condemned the entire Armenian citizenry under its jurisdiction, and some of the neighboring lands, to extermination. The crime and denial of genocide isn’t a game, but international relations is a contest. [Read more...]
