LOL, now that there is funny!!
He is a self described “Young Turk” -—
Young Turks.
They resented Ottoman efforts toward secularization but largely hid their agenda from Christians. First the Young Turks tricked Chistian Armenians into contributing their guns to the war effort [WWI], disarming the infidels by exploiting their trust. Then they “drafted” all able bodied Armenian men who were either betrayed by mass executions or forced into a slow death by slave labor.
After that it was easy to send one million Christian women, children, elderly, and invalids on the 1915 Death Marches, where the Young Turks’ “Special Organization” systematically beat and herded them away from water. Special Organization members tortured, looted, and kidnapped surviving Death Marchers into slavery. Conservative estimates are that 600,000 Death Marchers died. Survivers were largely looted of all their clothing. They even raped little girls and coerced surviving children to denounce Christianity and submit to Islam. Turkey has reformed and is Islam’s greatest long standing example of a successful republic, but a constitution that needs a fickled “coup trigger” to prevent a new Young Turk movement is not proof of anything good
