• Are you aware of any Turkish sufferings? Both sides suffered losses during the intercommunal warfare, which were worsened by the contagious diseases prevalent at the time and the scarcity of food and medicine.

• Do you know about the role of Armenian church in cultivating and financing terrorism?

• Do you know the roles of imperialist powers of the time to ethnically cleans the Turks, using Armenian nationalists?

• Do you know of Armenian rebellions?

• Are you aware of Armenian atrocities committed under Russian uniforms? They had collaborated with the invading Russian troops and perpetrated acts of violence against the Turkish villages in Southeastern Turkey during the World War I.

• Are you aware of Armenian atrocities committed under French uniforms?

• Did you know that the courts took place (Malta & Istanbul) and the Ottoman officials were found not guilty? English courts worked hard to find a guilty but no one was found

Yes si++ I am aware of all of that, I am not an ignorant little country girl that is not aware of what is going on around her and around the world.

I think si++ may have said "so called" because there is no proof either way. It is like saying that some thing is "alleged" or someone is "suspect." Anyway...lets just agree to disagree.  

Have a nice day everyone!!

then alleged would have been more appropriate than so called in this case

Well I guess its in how you interpret things, stumpy.  Some of us are more willing than others to jump all over fellow classmates for syntax. 

and I am one of the first ones that has been jumped all over when I ever dare post anything

GUEST SPEAKER
Prof Justin McCarthy
“Prejudice, Deception, and the Armenian Question”

For those who study the troubled history of relations between Turks and Armenians,
the question naturally arises, “How could so many have been so wrong?” Why did Europeans
and Americans at the time, and still today, believe a story of persecution that is demonstrably wrong?
The answer lies in ignorance, prejudice, and deception. Ignorance made politicians and
editors, then and today, believe whatever fit their prejudices. And prejudice caused them
to ignore the facts before them. Instead, they accepted the often deliberate falsehoods
spread by Armenian rebels and their supporters. This presentation offers examples of
the deceptions that lie behind what is commonly believed of the Armenian Question.

ICG warns of war risk between Armenia, Azerbaijan

Escalating front-line clashes, a spiraling arms race, vitriolic rhetoric and a virtual breakdown in peace talks increase the chance Armenia and Azerbaijan will go back to war over Nagorno-Karabakh, with devastating regional consequences, the International Crisis Group, or ICG, warned Tuesday.

The Brussels-based group’s report, “Armenia and Azerbaijan: Preventing War,” highlights the deterioration of the situation in the past year. “Increased military capabilities on both sides would make a new armed conflict in the South Caucasus far more deadly than the 1992-1994 one that ended with a shaky truce,” the ICG warned.

“Neither side would be likely to win easily or quickly,” the report said. Even if neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan is planning an immediate all-out offensive, “skirmishes could easily spiral out of control,” it warned.

I expect a war between Azerbaijan and Armenia will break out inevitably unless Armenia stop to occupy Azeri territory. Azerbaijani army are getting strong and they fell confident to get back their lands by force if not by peace.

Turkey´s New York cab bid painted as ´Iranian´ plot

An advertising campaign targeting Nissan and Turkish company Karsan in their bids to supply the “taxis of tomorrow” for New York City alleges the two companies have business ties with Iran. The campaign, sponsored by an Iran-focused coalition, calls on New Yorkers to petition the mayor to not choose either company.

The group claims Karsan exports vans to Iran in cooperation with the local Sanat Khuorda Kamau company and does business with the National Iranian Gas Company.

Karsan told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review in an official statement that it has no current business relations with Iran, admitting that the company has traded with companies within the Islamic Republic in the past.

The oldest swinger in town? Milly, 96, makes £50,000 a year... as an escort

Times have changed: Milly Cooper says these days girls have ´vast boobs and skinny bodies´ (posed by model)

A woman who has worked as an escort since the end of the Second World War is still earning £50,000 pounds a year from her sex services - at the age of 96.

Milly Cooper was swept off her feet by a wealthy American at the age of 27, and moved from London´s East End to Las Vegas.

But he died in action in 1945, leaving her with a baby daughter and no regular means of support.

Milly, who had worked as a showgirl, was coaxed into becoming a high-class escort - and was soon earning a small fortune in the United States, where she has lived for most of her life.

She moved onto become a madam, handling bookings for ten girls, and continued in this line when she married her second husband, an accountant, in 1955.

He left her £100,000 in his will but she continued her work as a madam to make sure she never ran out of money.

In 1979, after nearly a 25-year break from providing personal sex services, she resumed that part of her life - and has continued as an escort ever since.

Milly, who has slept with 3,500 men, says her clients range in age from 29 to 92.

She currently sees two clients a week, earning up to £800 each time.
