    Bassoy’s Answer to Baydar’s Article

    Turkey will once more mark the great
    Armenian tragedy of 1915 — last century’s archetypal ethnic cleansing,
    with systematic acts of genocide — in a mix of shame and shamelessness,
    confusion and clarity, ignorance and awareness, denial and admission” is per se shamelessnes and ignorance turning a blind eye to the judgements of ICJ’s, and that of ECHR’s together with the Spanish and French Constitutional Courts’ verdicts on the non-occurred Armenian genocide! Events of 1915 were tragedies for both the Ottoman Muslims and the Armenians, initiated by Armenian killings of Muslims in Van and elsewhere , collaborating with the invading Tsarist Russian troops boastingly, as it was revealed in Paris by Bogos Nubar. Such Armenian brutalities are well known and detailed by the Dashnak terrorists themselves. Speaking in that article only of Armenian tragedy turns it into a hate statement against our Ottoman-muslim ancestors.

    If the grand parents of the writer shamelessly committed genocide on Armenian subjects of the then Ottoman state, then they should be tried by a competent court in their absence, yet in his grand son’s presence, and must be duly punished, post mortem.
    His article is a hate article of slander to my grand parents and to the Ottoman Muslim subjects- grand parents of millions of Turkish citizens which I fiercefulluy repudiate.

    Yes, this is a hate article against our ancesters who have been intentionally and systematicle killed by the Armenian terrorists which were organized from İstanbul’s elite Armenians.

    ATAA Capital Forum Program proudly presents:
    A film screening at the U.S. Congress: THE ARMENIAN REVOLT (1894-1920)

    To date, the United States legislature has considered 11 legislative initiatives opining on the history of the late Ottoman Empire, five that failed because they characterized the events of 1915 as genocide, and six that passed because they did not. The 12th initiative, H.Res. 252, which narrowly passed the House Foreign Affairs Committee 23-22 on March 4, 2010, looks to be the sixth to fail. Regardless, Turkish Americans are facing their ancient history, and so should Armenians Americans, as there are always two sides of a story.
    Accordingly, on Wednesday, July 28, 2010, the ATAA Capital Forum program will host a screening of the film, “The Armenian Revolt”, regarding the armed Armenian Independence Movement (1880-1919) which sought to create a politically, ethnically, and religiously homogenous Armenian state in the eastern region of the Ottoman Empire, and failed. Legal expert, Bruce Fein, will provide opening remarks.
    The producer of the film, Marty Callaghan, is a war documentarian, who recently produced, “Blood, Sand and Oil” regarding WWI in the Middle East and Allied use of micronationalism from the Caucasus to the Arabian Peninsula to destroy the multi-ethnic, multi-cultural Ottoman Empire, and replace it with states servile to western empires. “The Armenian Revolt”, which appeared on Bloomington PBS, takes a look at WWI designs for the Caucasus.

    The ATAA will continue to host experts on the Ottoman Armenian matter with a view toward reconciliation based on truth.
