Only in Turkey is the identity of a citizen a matter of national security. That’s why the population registry in Ankara was until now a closed book, its details a state secret. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk’s definition of “Turkishness” was “anyone who is attached to the Turkish state as a citizen”. Turks came from a clear ethnic identity, untainted by racial minorities or doubtful lineage. That’s one reason why the Nazis lavished praise on Ataturk’s republic, their newspapers mourning his death in black-bordered front pages.
After all, as Hitler was to ask in several newspaper interviews – and to his generals before he invaded Poland – who now remembers the Armenians? Ataturk had supposedly inherited an Armenian-free Turkey, just as Hitler intended to present his followers with a Jew-free Europe. The Armenian genocide of 1915 – denied by the Turkish government today – destroyed a million and a half Christian Ottoman citizens in the first industrial holocaust of the 20th century. Almost the entire Armenian community had been liquidated. Or had it?
For the stunned reaction of Turks to the sudden and unexpected opening of population registers on an online genealogy database three weeks ago was so immediate and so vast that the system crashed within hours. Rather a lot of Turks, it turned out, were actually Armenians – or part-Armenians – or even partly Greek or Jewish. And across the mountains of eastern Anatolia – and around the cities of Istanbul, Izmir, Erzurum, Van and Gaziantep and along the haunted death convoy routes to Syria, ancient ghosts climbed out of century-old graves to reassert their Armenian presence in Turkish history. For the registry proved that many of them – through their families – were still alive.

"Turks" are a mix of Hittite/Lydian Indo-Europeans + hurrians/Georgians (Kartvelian peoples) + Celtic / Greek /Armenian /Kurdish/Persian/other Irani indo-europeans + Arabs + Albanians etc. and very little actual "Turkic" blood
What Is His Motive?
Looks like standard Nazi type stuff going on there.

Laughing as you think Trump should emulate Turkeys Erdogan in clearing our swamp. Really?
You realize this is the USA and not an Islamic dictatorship don’t you? Last I checked we’re still a Republic.
Let the man do his job according to our constitution and in it’s time.....and he’ll take them all down.... Grumbling as you’re seeming do is a wasted effort.
Just curious; is E Warren part Turkish?
Yes. The part that went over the fence last.
(Although she claims to be related to the first thanksgiving crowd)
Yes, he is an islamist. Filled with hate taught to him since birth. And each day that hate eats at what little humanity remains. It will soon extinguish him.
Yes, he has studied Hitler. And applies it still today.
Turkey’s PM carried ‘a copy of Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf’ around as a child, says former Classmate
Turks either worship Kemal or they are Islamist. (this does not include all citizens of Turkey)
This is not about reasoning, it is about a consuming hatred. A hatred of the truth which exposes their great folly.
