On this day...

December 17, 1980 - Sydney, Australia:

Two Armenian gunmen assassinate Turkish Consul General, Sarik Ariyak, and his security guard, Engin Sever, as the Turkish officials are walking toward their vehicle. Ariyak dies instantly and the security guard dies on the way to the hospital. A spokesperson for the Australian Ministry of Foreign Affairs states, "We deplore this violent and criminal incident and hope those responsible are brought to justice." A statement by the U.S. Department of State referred to the killings as "brutal murders" and added, "The inviolability of diplomatic and consular personnel and their premises is fundamental to the conduct of foreign relations, and to the maintenance of international order. We condemn all acts of violence and we hope the guilty parties will soon be brought to justice." JCAG claims responsibility, stating the killings were "in retaliation for the injustices done to Armenians by the Turks in 1915." No arrests were ever made.

Asala finished then PKK started, no need to worry if PKK somehow finish, another one is on way. They are all related to eachother, a plan of forces. Civilian Kurds and Turks were killed and villages were burned by terrorists who were wearing Turkish military uniforms which were made in Armenia.

There is so much disinformation about Turco-Armenian relations we don't know what happened really. I hope the crimes attributed to the Ottomans were never committed. As common people, we don't know anything beyond that. As common people again, we do not support ethnic hatred, ethnic cleansing and racial discrimination. If claims about this are proven, or even if there is the possibility of fewer people getting killed at the hands of our soldiers and locals, we should officially apoligize and take reparatory action. If claims about Armenians slaughtering Turks during those incidents are proven the same applies to them as well.

As for ASALA, as a terrorist organization whose ultimate purpose was taking revenge, they murdered innocent people who could not protect themselves. What that proved is a question mark. You cannot cure hatred with murder. As civilized people, we should try to prevent further catastrophies and guilts.

offf yaaaaw offffffff!

i wont write here what is on my mind due to two reasons!

1- the racists full of hatred against every other race and living being (plants, stones, animals included) except for turks will get honored when they see they can still cause uproar somewhere and that they have a venue where they can write and where such ideas are still read!

2- I am almost sure the admins will delete it...



go on!

sonnet 3958660468235:
oh victims,
oh poor turkish victims,
thou art innocent victims
who have always been subject
to torture and injustice
by all living beings,
may peace spread from thy pure mind and heart
to every little corner of the earth!


böööööööööööö

Quoting vineyards:

Do you have a problem Gernas? Why don't you write like everyone else? What is your problem with the admins? Do you think you don't sound prejudiced too? If you want to contribute by pointing out to the problems in this society do it by writing. If you have hatred in you then get it out here. Say whatever you want to say but don't accuse people in advance.


+1

What could possibly be so horrible that he cannot state it with evidence and objectivity? Yes, it looks like it's the hatred that he can't help himself with.

and catwoman, are you that ignorant about what's going on in this country?? do you still need evidences? if so just open your ears and eyes! cos i wont lose time submitting evidences for dumb clowns!


Of course you can't have a conversation with racists and dumb clowns. However, there are people who don't know what you probably know and might engage in a conversation with you. Also, for most people you look weird when you are arguing this way never having actually presented any good reasons. You are only turning people against you and your cause.

'The monk walked down the street,he met a man who insulted and belittled him, after listening to the man's comments the Monk asked the man, 'if you offer a gift to someone, and the person declines, to whom then does the gift belong? The man said 'it belongs to the person who offered it' the Monk said ' I decline your gift of words' and strolled on'
