Avustralya ABC Radyosunda yer alan Saturday Breakfast isimli programin 21 Haziran 2008 tarihli yayininda, Giles Milton isimli bir yazarin “Paradise Lost: Smyrna 1922: The destruction of Islam’s City of Tolerance” isimli kitabinin tanitimi yapilmis, programa konuk olan yazar; “Mustafa Kemal’in askerlerinin 9 Eylul’de İzmir’i dusman isgalinden kurtardiktan sonra sehri yakip yiktigi, Hiristiyan ahaliyi katlettigi, kadinlara tecavuz ettigi,” gibi asilsiz iddialara yer vermistir. Ayni programin 28 Haziran 2008 tarihli yayininda bu defa adigecen “sozkonusu kitabi herkesin okumasi ve boylece Turklerin Hiristiyanlari nasil katlettiginin ogrenilmesi gerektigini” dile getirmistir.
Sozkonusu programin 21 Haziran 2008 tarihli yayinina adresinden ulasilabilmesi mumkundur.
Tarihsel gerceklerin carpitilmasindan ibaret olan anilan kitabin tanitimini gerceklestiren sozkonusu program nedeniyle, anilan yayin kurulusu nezdinde Kanberra Buyukelciligimizce gerekli resmi girisimler yapilmakta ise de, bu konuda degerli vatandaslarimizin da gereken hassasiyeti gostereceklerinden suphe duyulmamaktadir.
Saygı ile duyurulur

COMPLAINT LETTER TO THE ABD RADIO NATIONAL MANAGER
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to you in relation to the Saturday Breakfast program that was aired on 21 June and 28 June 2008 on ABC Radio National. Author Giles Milton was the guest of these programmes and he spoke about his recent book “Paradise Lost: Smyrna 1922: The Destruction of Islam’s City of Tolerance”. During the program, he uttered groundless and biased allegations about the march of Turkish army to Izmir in 1922 to rightfully save the city from enemy occupation.
I would like to point out that fabricating such blackening and one-sided stories about a nation’s history does not conform to scientific objectivity which seems to be totally lacking in the author’s book Furthermore, airing such biased views on a national broadcasting service does not comply with the spirit of harmonious relations among different societies successfully established by the multicultural character of Australia.
I therefore underline my deep disappointment and strongly protest the ABC Radio National for airing one week after another, such a biased interviews full of fabricated and slanderous propaganda. By the way, it was the Greek occupation army which had destroyed and burnt the beautiful Turkish city of Izmir and committed heinous crimes as they fled.
With the sincere hope of listening to programmes reflecting not only fabrications but also the objective truths of a story.
