/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Erdogan Criticizes Turkey’s Past and Accuses the Kemalists of Ethnic Cleansing.
On May 23 2009, during a congress of Turkey’s ruling Party; Justice and Development Party, in Duzce, Eastern Turkey, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan made an important announcement.
He criticized Turkish nationalism and called the Kemalist foundation of the Republic of Turkey “fascist”, because of the ethnic cleansing of the Armenian and Greek minorities.
Erdogan said, “For many years Turkey has been ethnically cleansed of its minorities because of their cultural and ethnic difference vis-à-vis the Turkish identity. This was the result of fascism and we as the Justice and Development Party have been trapped in this wrong political approach and have committed similar errors.”
The President of the Armenian National Committee of Canada “Dr. Girair Basmadjian” considers Erdogan’s announcement as an improvement in the domestic politics of Turkey, after a continuous denialist politics adopted by the deep state. “Since the creation of modern Turkey, successive governments have adopted a policy of Turkification, and have mistreated its minorities. Erdogan’s announcement is canceled, because it was the first announcement made by a Turk Prime Minister accepting Turkey’s past mistakes, and may be considered as a first step for an eventual apology to the Armenian population for its extermination by the Ottoman government in 1915. However, we should not be too optimistic, because the current Turkish government and academia includes numerous influential “fascists”, and it is not clear if Erdogan’s real intent is to oppose them. Only a few months ago Professor Turkaya Ataov delivered a “fascist” speech calling the West racist and denying the Armenian Genocide.”
Finally, the Turkish public is faced with an unprecedented choice to decide which version of history leads to its future, is it the version adopted by the deep state, unfair and unethical people like Ataov and prosecutors, who deny the events of 1915 and try to mislead their own people by penalizing the open discussion of the Armenian Genocide with the adoption of article 301 of the penal code? Or the true version that Erdogan referred to, which leads to a peaceful coexistence with neighbors and regional actors and brings Turkey closer to democratic Europe?
Only time will show if the true version will finally succeed to lead Turkey to European integration. However, if the version adopted by the deep state prevails, Turkey risks its isolation in the eyes of Europe and the international community.

Obama Breaks Pledge to Recognize Armenian Genocide:
Despite a clear pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide as president of the United States, President Obama, on April 24, used euphemistic language to describe the murder of over 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Turkish government from 1915-1923.
We must express strongly our Deep disappointment to President Obama in anyways, but it is a HUGE MUST.

(This text will be included in your message)
I am writing to share my sharp disappointment with your failure to honor your pledge to recognize the Armenian Genocide.
In falling short of your repeated and crystal clear promises, which reflected a thorough knowledge of the facts, the practical implications, and the moral dimension of Armenian Genocide recognition, your Administration has chosen, as a matter of policy, to allow our nation’s stand against genocide to remain a hostage to Turkey's threats. Rather than caving in to Ankara’s raw and open threats, our government should have publicly and proudly rejected Turkey’s cynical manipulation of U.S. policy on genocide.
Genocide must be confronted unconditionally at the level of American values and our common humanity. We should never allow its prevention or recognition to be reduced to a political issue that can be traded away, retreated from under threats and pressure, or used to advance a political agenda, of any kind.
I urge you to act quickly to redeem your Administration’s stand on the Armenian Genocide by clearly condemning and commemorating this crime, removing Turkey’s gag-rule on its recognition, and working publicly toward the adoption of the Armenian Genocide Resolution before Congress.”

On 30 September 2006, The French President Jacques Chirac, his wife Bernadette, and French Foreign Minister visited "Dsidsernagapert," the Memorial of the Armenian Genocide, in Yerevan.
That day, the French President Jacques Chirac said, “Turkey should recognize the Massacre of Armenians during World War I as Genocide before its possible accession to the European Union.”
When he was asked at a press conference if Turkey should recognize the 1915-1917 Massacres at the hands of Ottoman Turks as Genocide to enter the European Union (EU), he replied: "Honestly, I believe so."
The following is a picture, where the French President (in the center of the picture), his wife Bernadette (dressed white coat, beside him, on his right), and French Foreign Minister (on the Left of President Chirac) stand in front of the Memorial to the Armenian Genocide, in Yerevan.

How the Genocide happened:
World War One gave the Young Turk government the cover and the excuse to carry out their plan. The plan was simple and its goal was clear. On April 24th 1915, hundreds of Armenian leaders were murdered in Istanbul after being summoned and gathered. So because there were no leaders anymore, leaderless Armenian people were to follow. Across the Ottoman Empire (with the exception of Constantinople, presumably due to a large foreign presence), the same events transpired from village to village, from province to province.
The remarkable thing about the following events is the virtually complete cooperation of the Armenians. For a number of reasons they did not know what was planned for them and went along with "their" government's plan to "relocate them for their own good." First, the Armenians were asked to turn in hunting weapons for the war effort. Communities were often given quotas and would have to buy additional weapons from Turks to meet their quota. Later, the government would claim these weapons were proof that Armenians were about to rebel. The able bodied men were then "drafted" to help in the wartime effort. These men were either immediately killed or were worked to death. Thus, the villages and towns, where only women, children, and elderly were left, were systematically emptied. The remaining residents would be told to gather for a temporary relocation and to only bring what they could carry. The Armenians again obediently followed instructions and were "escorted" by Turkish Gendarmes in death marches.
The death marches led across Anatolia, and the purpose was clear.
The Armenians were starved, dehydrated, raped, murdered, and kidnapped along the way. The Turkish Gendarmes either led these atrocities or turned a blind eye. Their eventual destination for resettlement was just as telling in revealing the Turkish government’s goal: the Syrian Desert, Der Zor.
Those who miraculously survived the march would arrive to this bleak desert only to be killed upon arrival or to somehow survive until a way to escape the empire was found. Usually those that survived and escaped received assistance from those who have come to be known as "good Turks," from foreign missionaries who recorded much of these events and from Arabs.

The Armenian Genocide is True.
Here is an outline I have done about the Armenian Genocide.
General and specific purpose: To persuade my audience that the Armenian Genocide really happened.
Central idea: The main cause of the Genocide was the aim to establish a Pan-Turkic empire, and the way it happened was awful, and there are many facts and proofs about the Genocide; moreover, the Armenians never forget it.
I. Introduction
A. What would you feel or do if you lose your beloved ones in a war, massacre, or as in Armenian’s case, in a genocide? Would you just close your mouth, and be quiet, and do nothing? I doubt.
B. Did the Armenian Genocide really happen? Yes it happened and without any doubt.
C. Before beginning the Jewish Holocaust, Hitler said, “I have given orders to my Death units to exterminate without mercy or pity men, women, and children belonging to the Polish speaking race. After all who remembers today the extermination of the Armenians?”
D. It’s impossible for us the Armenians to forget what happened, and we will never lose our hope in taking back our rights and possessions.
Transition: So now I’m going to talk about the main cause of the Armenian Genocide, how it happened, and I will give you many proofs and facts about the Armenian Genocide.
II. Body
A. The main cause of the Genocide was the aim to establish a Pan-Turkic empire.
1.The Turkish leadership desired to establish a Pan-Turkic empire spreading all the way
to Turkic speaking parts of central Asia.
2.The Armenian nation was the obstacle to this expansion.
3.So, the Turk pashas Enver, Jemal, and Talat masterminded the plan to completely
eradicate the Armenian race, in a step towards fulfilling their Pan- Turkic dreams.
4. Moreover, Talat Pasha said, “I will leave just one Armenian in the world, and put him in
the Museum, so that people will know that Armenians existed in the past.”
But he didn’t reach his aim.
Transition: Now that we talked about the main cause of the Genocide, let’s talk about how the Genocide happened.
B. How did the Armenian Genocide happen?
1. First, on April, 24, 1915, the Turkish government arrested all Armenian intellectuals, politicians, doctors, community leaders, educators, etc., and deported and executed them.
2. After that, the Ottoman military uprooted Armenians from their homes and forced them to march for hundreds of miles, depriving them of food and water, to the desert “Derzor” in Syria. These conditions led to the death of many deportees.
3. Armenians didn’t know what was planned for them, and went along with their government’s plan to “relocate them for their own good.”
4. The death marches led across Anatolia, the Armenians were raped, starved, dehydrated, murdered, and kidnapped along the way.
5. Those who survived and escaped the crimes, murders, and massacres of the Turks, usually received assistance from foreign missionaries and from Arabs. My grandfather was one of the survivors.
6. My grandfather used to tell my father how he survived after being deported, he also told him that when he was in the death march, they were with bare feet , and he was crying and asking his mother for food and water, but his mother, unable to do anything, cried more and continued walking.
Transition: Now that I told you how the Genocide happened, let’s see some facts and proofs about the Genocide, and its recognition by countries.
C. There are many proofs and facts about the Armenian Genocide.
1.Deportations were done from Anatolia and Cilicia, and not from Ankara and Istanbul, where are the locations of ambassadors, so that nobody would know about it.
a. Of course at that time there were no communication means: television, radio, telephone, etc.
b.The entire world was occupied by the World War one; every country was in his own problems.
c. Fortunately, the world’s most important country’s, U.S., ambassador, Mr. Morgetaw was there and wrote many reports and sent them to his country saying, “So many ugly things are happening here, Turks are massacring Armenian minority in Anatolia violently.” These reports are yet in the hands of Armenians as proofs.
2. All the three Pashas who planned the Genocide were later executed by Armenians.
a. Talat Pasha, after three years of being investigated, was killed in Germany by Soghomon Tehlirian, who was taken to the court of Nuremberg city for judgment and he was declared and set free. He was a single survivor of all his extended family.
b. The killer of Jemal Pasha, Missak Torlakian, has visited our house in 1964 to see my grandfather as an intellectual man. When my grandfather saw him, he came onto his knees in front of him, and kissed his hands saying, “With these two hands you killed that criminal!”
3. In 1989, a U.S. Senate proposed to turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide, in the context of the publication of internal U.S. documents which laid out a State Department official’s
eyewitness report that “Thousands and thousands of Armenians, mostly innocent and helpless
women and children were butchered in the last period of the Ottoman empire.” Turkey
responded by blocking U.S. Navy visits to Turkey.
4. Even many Turkish intellectuals believe in the Genocide, and they are being threatened by the Turkish government. Example nowadays there is a plot to kill Orhan Pamuk, the Turkish Nobel laureate who was charged with “insulting Turkishness” for stating that “A million Armenians were killed in these lands.”
5. 21 countries and 42 U.S. states have recognized the Armenian Genocide. Some of these
countries are: Argentina, Canada, Lebanon, France, Russia, etc. The first country that
recognized the Armenian Genocide is Uruguay in 1965, and the last country is Chile in 2007.
And year by year, the countries recognizing the Genocide are increasing in number.
6. The most efficient and tangible proof of the Armenian Genocide is that I am here, why am I here in your opinion? Why are Armenians spread all over the world?
Transition: Now that we saw the proofs and facts about the Armenian Genocide, let’s see what does this day mean for Armenians.
D. Ninety-three years after the Armenian Genocide Armenians still remember their unforgettable tragedy. For Armenians, April 24 is a day of sorrow, reflection, and pride.
1. It is a sorrow for the uncountable lives lost, for their ancient culture that reduced to dust, as well as for their properties and wealth they lost.
2. This day is a reflection on how to deal with the past in the present for a better future.
3. This day is a pride for surviving the worst crime in this world.
Transition: In this speech I have talked about the main cause of the Armenian Genocide, how it happened, and I gave you many proofs and facts about the Armenian Genocide. So now we reached the conclusion.
II. Conclusion.
A. Those who say forget about it, it is in the past, are wrong. Unless crimes like this are faced up to and compensated for, they will be committed again by people who don’t fear persecution or justice. This is revealed in what Hitler said before beginning the Jewish Holocaust, and we mentioned it in the introduction.
B. Moreover, whoever sits quietly and doesn’t do anything about the injustice and crime is also a criminal.
C. Dear listeners, the least thing you can do:
1. Do not stay silent in front of injustice and crime, or else you are a criminal.
2. Do something about the injustice, and do not simply accept it as it is.
3. This is what the Armenians are doing till now, and they will never surrender.
4. We mustn’t surrender in front of anything.
