link is absolutely Turkish propaganda! Same propaganda that Turks have used to cover up their Salonica atrocities where they were responsible for decapitating, raping and pillaging villages with Jewish, Greek or Armenian inhabitants.

This piece of Turkish Propaganda by ‘HISTORIANS FOR HIRE’ is laughable. Get your sources checked up. You are doing a disservice to History by refusing to face the ugly facts.

Thank god Sarkozy’s France does not want to admit 50 milllion Turks into Europe! He should know…his family suffered enough in WWII

Which History facts are you looking at?

do some digging sonic turtle – the truth is barely scratched on surface. The GENOCIDE is close to 2.5 million and not 1.5. They forgot

1922 – see the movie. I saw it with the Haddasah Chapter 20 years ago. It’s still relevnat. Lest we forget…Turkish atrocities!

But you surely don’t imply that you have to be an Historian to appreciate that this GENOCIDE by the Turkish Army brutes did not occur! There are 1.5 million graves and names are dug up.
Or, Ninja, you think that 6 million Jews did not endure the Holocaust. After all, you and I are not historians, right?

What’s your point in defending Obama’s reversal? Agreeing with official Turkish government propaganda that Turkish atrocities against Armenians did not occur does not make the GENOCIDE’s well-recorded documents non-existent!!!!

Are Armenians just another ‘interest group’ for you? And the Jewish community…and the Greek Community?
All 3 were brutalized by the Turkish hordes.

There are mini-holocaust (in comparison with the 6 million Jews in WWII) but really, do you want to play comparison games with Genocide? What are you protecting…

You are making a rather serious error here. That is precisely what the Armenians are saying. Leave this to the Historians! It is historians that have recorded the brutal rapes, decapitations, dismberments, live burnings and atrocities of the TURKISH BRUTAL ARMY. The figure of 1.5 million is way too low when you count the Armenians and Greeks in Asia Minor and the Jewish families of Salonica in northern Greece.

I agree. Leave this to the Historians. Not Hussein Obummer! And make Hussein accountable for his words. Action gives words meaning. Right now, it looks like a well-greased Teleprompter is Commander-in-Chief. No brains, no morals, no sense of history, geography. Just a keen sense of Marketing his sorry self…

If you forget History, then you’re likely to repeat it with dire consequences Ninja! The holocaust is over. But the trauma and memories live on. Don’t let B.H. Obama fool you.

Lest we forget….

THANK you for this important post…We must NEVER FORGET, so history will not be allowed to repeat itself!

Thank you for your article. Over 2 million Armenians and Greeks (1922) were slaughtered by the blood-thirsty Turkish hordes and Obama’s nerdy FLIP-FLOP on this significant issue should cost him votes. I viewed a film with Jewish holocaust survivor friends and members of the Armenian and Greek communities entitled 1922. It was incredibly beautiful and horrific. No one but no one can equal the TURKS for their woman-hating and brutal rape-and-pillage tactics.

No other army was so brutal so as to have the Nazis admit that the Turks were far worse than they were to JEWISH, ARMENIAN and GREEK familieis in WWI and WWII. Hundreds of Arrmenians and Greeks were uprooted from Constaninople, Smyrna and the Asia Minor coast in l922 and had their hands, legs and heads cut off. You can visit the museum of horrors of the Turkish Army’s brutal legacy. Millions not thousands. To date it is approximately 2.6 million Armenian, Greek and Jewish victims of Turkish brutality, rape and pillaging in Asia Minor (Ephesus,Smyrna, etc.)

HUSSEIN OBAMA is making a big mistake by reversing his stand on the GENOCIDE of ARMENIANS, GREEKS AND JEWS by TURKISH BRUTES.

Pres. Sarkozy’s family (grandfather) is from the Northern Greek City of SALONICA. The Nazis and the Turks decimated the city’s Greek, Armenian and Jewish citizens…many fleeing south where their lives were saved by Athenians under the Nazis’ noses.. 6 million Jews, and 2.5 million Armenians and Greeks…too much blood on Turkish hands….and their desecreation of St. Sophia’s Byzantine Orthodox Church in Istanbul (Constaninople). Who can forget their ATROCITIES?

No, Hussein’s flip-flop will not be forgotten!

In both WWI and WWII Turkey fought on the side of the Nazis and Japan! Did Hussein Obama ever study or learn from History? Of course he flunked Geography…57 states and all….what a racist, misogynist Flip-Flopper-in-Chief!

Fascists considered the economy to be of little importance, and did not have clear economic views. One significant fascist economic belief was that prosperity would naturally follow once the nation has achieved a cultural and spiritual re-awakening. Often, different members of a fascist party would make completely opposite statements about the economic policies they supported. Once in power, fascists usually adopted whatever economic program they believed to be most suitable for their political goals.

He’s exactly what PUMAs said he was. A totalitarian.

This is supposed to be the “wink, wink” understanding “between politicians”. Not that I agree with politicians lying, but by saying it out loud, it’s like he thinks that WE’RE going to find it acceptable, too.

Well, we don’t.

If you think about the political continuum being a straight line from hard right to hard left and then put each end together, That One is at the junction between the two ends. He’s represents a new type of autocrat.

He’s everything and nothing at all. Socialist, neo-liberal, neo-con, fascist, totalitarian. What a mess.

I agree that he lies for votes. It just turns out that this reversal puts him in the correct position.

What’s wrong with wanting to leave history to historians? Nancy Pelosi has many Armenians in her district. Cha-ching. I’m sure there are Turkish lobbyists working against it, too. I have a problem with all lobbyists. Whose country is this anyway?

I read a lot, thank you.

If you would read the history, our Ambassador Morgenthau (sp) reported the Genocide of the Armenian population by the Turks as it was happening. Lobbyists you mention are all TURKISH.
They spend many dollars and have the Israel lobby helping them block the Resolutions that are introduced each year in Congress to recognize the Armenian Massacre/Genocide at the hands of the Turkish government. You either work for the Turks, or you are not very well informed. I don’t wish to insult you, but please read the history before making such statements.
