Color me Erdogan. It is simply his nature. He has managed to insult most of Europe in a space of a week. That takes something.
The point? We appear to be at one of those points again when the word "genocide" will be again attached to The Turkish nation because of the Ego of Erdogan. He really believes he is destined to rule the remake of the Ottoman empire. Will any remember the brutality of that empire?
At what price in lives and human misery would that amount to, should it happen? Will the modern world set idly by and ignore it?
Seems like ridiculous question, but is it?
Between Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks, Turks killed maybe two million Christians. It was genocide. And they are basically proud of it.
MAKE TURKEY GREEK AGAIN!!!!;)
Would suit me.
Yes, and never ever admitted any of them. Lie, lie, lie.
They get angry when it is mentioned. It takes very little for them to get angry.
1. It never happened.
2. They deserved it.
So they tell the world.??
But it is recorded. Not by them but in the blood of their genocide victims.
Some things never change.
Yes, unfortunately.
My father saw Dachau not long after Liberation, one of his high school classmates was one of the officers who actually liberated the camp.
There was an American Indian officer who was involved with that effort. When he saw what the Germans did to those people he lost it and ended a bunch of the Germans. Only thing that saved the officer, I am told, Patton stopped the process.
I just looked up Imia/Kardak. Their total size combined is is 10 acres (4.0 ha). Do the Turks really want to start an international incident over these two very small Islands?
“the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome” - ruined by the shame that is Islam.
I was also thinking of Rwanda. The U.N. knew what was coming as well as Clinton’s state department yet they did nothing and no one knows for sure what the actual death toll was from that genocidal massacre.
Well the Turks see an obviously weak Greece. Maybe they think they can retake the islands without firing a shot. If they do retake the islands what will Greece do? The EU? Oh sure the EU will send troops from Denmark to support the deadbeat Greeks.
If they retake those Islands without a shot fired you have to wonder if Cyprus is next.
Excellent observation. A weak Greece, a Turkey ready to become the Ottoman Empire reincarnate, and a Europe that may well do nothing, yes I think Cyprus would be next.
Yes, Greeks were famous long ago. Shaped much of modern thought.
Well it certainly did, but Turkey has never ever admitted it.
Kurds on the other hand did admit the portion to be blamed on them. (not all Kurds participated some actually hid the Armenians)
Yes, same situation in Pol Pot’s Cambodia. (and Laos)
Knew, but did nothing.
