Turk is a “race(?)” that was propagated during the
WWI period by the right-wing
conservative Christian media to have massacred millions upon millions, heck, zillions of Christians in order to justify the colonization attempts of the European Allied forces... Can we say “
weapons of mass destruction, anyone!?”
After WWI, Turks were found innocent of crimes against humanity in the courts of those very same Allied forces because the “obvious evidences” were proven to be nothing but forgeries and racist war time propaganda. According to the court’s findings (and this is just a mere scratch of the surface), Turkish officers would have needed to have access to some fancy time machines in order to carry out the orders of killings of Christians; obviously the
masterminds who forged those documents did not understand how the Islamic calendar worked! They also obviously did not know how to speak Turkish very well, and they most obviously misspelled every Pasha’s name who supposedly issued or received those orders... Well, anyway volumes can be written about the “obvious evidence,” and about the creative geniuses who have successfully managed to stir-up hatred of Turks to further the European colonialist agenda. Then again, volumes can be said about todays clueless European
politicians who sit on their cushy seats in the parliament, and vote “aye” on a version of history that they feel is appropriate and in cooperation with the racist construction of the Turks’ terrible “essence.”
“I was being employed by His Majesty’s
Government to compile all available documents on
the present treatment of the Armenians by the Turkish
Government in a 'Blue Book,' which was duly published and distributed as war-propaganda!”
