Yazıcıoğlu is reportedly to criticize an attitude adopted of some Western countries identifying Islam with terrorism, asserting that Islam is instead a religion of peace and love.

And guess what?
He should be the last politician from Turkey to talk about this subject..phew!!

Demonstrators hold a picture of slain journalist Hrant Dink as they chant slogans during a protest near a courthouse in Istanbul, Turkey, Monday, April 28, 2008. A Turkish court resumed the trial of suspects in the killing of an ethnic Armenian journalist in a case widely seen as a test of the judiciary in investigating possible negligence by authorities. Hrant Dink, an ethnic Armenian journalist, was shot dead in daylight in front of his newspaper's office in January 2007.

Ros, do u know Talat Pasha was killed in Berlin in 1921 by an armenian terrorist.this terrorist was arrested and never judged by Germany.

so why u are so sensitive to Dink..what about Turkish ppl was killed by ASALA...

Ros
Thanks for reminding Hrant Dink again. Although it was me putting the wrong link and your post followed it.
It may seem not related at the first glance, but, there might be a relation between the guy who is making the speech today, and Hrant Dink murderer.

And also, we should never forget H Dink , his murder's association with extreme nationalism and article 301 in Turkey.

An quick info: Talat Pasha is not a character we should be proud of. He might be considered a 'war criminal'. He bears the direct responsibility of deporting ermenians in 1915.

talat pasha is the character that we proud of as i did.he did his duty to protect his community against terrorists attack of armenian during turkish ppl struggle with invasion of western countries...

persons who call talat pasha as a war criminal,is not different than murder of hrant dink.

I think, there is something wrong with the dates here.
Turkish independence war started in 1919 officially.
Enver,cemal, and Talat Pashas were in the power before that date.
They almost single handedly scraped the ottomans from the map with their mistakes!!
Even Ataturk left from the party (ittihat ve terakki) in 1907 and got rid of the rest of Ittihat ve Terakki members in 1925 and 1926.

So Ataturk himself was not proud of them!!!

Actually this subject requires more writing..I will try to compile something, in order to clear what was what; who was who; how we lost the wars; how nationalism started etc..
It might be a nice historical journey.
