"The immigrants will be provided with housing and furniture, they will be helped to learn the English language and to complete formalities needed for residence in the US, which is especially important, and have been promised life-long welfare allowances for pensioners and the disabled."

Meanwhile, we lowly natives have been promised that social security will be broke by the time most of us currently paying into it are old enough to collect it.

All of which begs answere to this question: What in the sam hell have the Ahiska Muslims done for the United States to merit this special treatment? Couldn't the oil-rich sparsely settled fellow Muslim country of Saudi Arabia give them visas? Couldn't President Bush with all his oil connections pressure them to take these people and employ them in just a few of the hundreds of thousands of jobs for which Saudi Arabia is currently importing non-Muslim foreign workers?

These people are coming here as legal immigrants, the same as my grandparents did. Read the article, they will assimilate far better than most of the illegals who are coming in today.

These are people who have little chance of making it in the country they are in now but could end up being great citizens of this country. That's what America is, a nation of (LEGAL) immigrants.

I see it as the cost us Americans must pay to drive.

It's part of a oil deal with the Russians!

Just think of our new friends as Pennsylvania "KINDA" Dutch and hope the melt into the melting pot.

Azerbaijani Oil

I had to find out...

So who are the AHISKA TURKS/Mulsims?

A DEPORTED NATIONALITY: THE AHISKA TURKS*

The end of the report has the oil twist!

SNIP: Southern Georgia is the ideal route for the oil pipeline from Baku to Ceyhan to transport Azerbaijani oil to the West.

Thus, the strategic importance of the region because of the pipeline issue, and its ethnic composition–Akhalsikhe (Ahýska) and Akhalkalaki (Ahýlkelek) are mainly inhabited by Armenians—are factors that render critical the return of the Ahýska Turks to their original villages.

Considering the above mentioned factors, it is possible to argue that, the region is one of potential conflict, and since peace and stability in the region is very important for Georgia, Turkey and other neighbouring countries, the issue of Ahýska Turks is very significant in the analysis of the region.

BIG SNIP: The Sad Story of ancient cultures.

Accused of posing a threat to national security, Stalin deported the Ahýska Turks in 1944 and, since then they have not been able to return to their homeland.

In fact, they have suffered from cultural oppression starting from the end of 1920s. Until the deportation, some of them had run away secretly across the frontier to Turkey and a number of them had been killed or exiled.

The oppression reached its apogee with the deportation in 1944, which was done according to a decision of the Committee of State under the pretext of ‘frontier security’.

2. Ahýska Turks were not the only ones to be deported as Stalin organised a ‘cleansing operation’ along the Turkish border.

Eight Soviet nationalities, Volga Germans, Karachai, Chechen, Ingush, Kalmyks, Balkars, Crimean Tatars and the Ahýska Turks were deported to Central Asia and Siberia.

All these nationalities except the Ahýska Turks had their own autonomous territory within the Russian Republic, established by the Soviet regime.

It was because the Ahýska Turks lacked their own territory that their deportation remained unknown to the outside world for a long time.

SNIP:

The Ahıska Turks were always on the side of the Ottoman Empire and, later, of Turkey. At the end of the First World War, during the Batoum Conference, they demanded to be left to the Ottoman Empire.

However, the region was finally given to Georgia in 1921, and the Soviet government treated the Ahıska Turks as untrustworthy people, as potential enemies of the regime, and as a dangerous group close to the Turkish border.

This attitude played a significant role in the development of the ethnic sentiment of the Ahıska Turks and later became the basic reason for their deportation.
