In dreams nothing is impossible...so Turkey should keep dreaming about joining the EU.
this woman looks like a average turk. cold, always an extrem facist or islamistic, and always insist on maximum demands.
shamefull that a country whos poiltic is on the one hand so antisemitic against israel crounches before the turkey on the other hand.
Sorry, that empire died a hundred years ago and modern-day turk is no power-broker. Without economic, political or military clout, it stands alone.
Accept this reality and live with it, and then you will gain acceptance.
This is a sad spectacle made worse by the fact that the Swedish government has chosen to insult the entire Armenian nation.
Turkish ambassador who has newsly come back ,goes to ICA to buy stuff.
Some days later:
Turkish ambassador who has newly come back to Sweden, has got a cold and needs to rest!
then....
Therefore, accusing a nation and its generations as criminals of genocide requires strong historical and legal proofs and supports. Turkish historians, Turkish prime minister and Turkish Assembly several times suggested Armenia to discuss the events which occured in the WWI together with historians from both sides and even historians from other countries.
The Armenians have neither applied to international courts nor accepted to discuss these events in joint commissions made up of historians from Armenia, Turkey and other countries.
The other reason why the Turks and Turkish governments do not accept the label of genocide is that the Turkish documents and family stories the Turkish people heard from their own grandparents do not comply with an Armenian genocide.
The Turkish Archives demostrate:
that the Armenians inflicted massacres upon Turks/Muslims from the beginning of 1890's;
that when the deportation were under way, the Armenians of the big cities (and Katholic and Protestan Armenians) were exempted;
that officials who were found faulty during the deportations were court marshalled in early 1916 (out of 1673 who stood in court, 67 were given death sentences, 524 jail term, 68 row boat and monetary punishments by Talat Pasha government, before WWI ended);
that in December 1918, a new law letting the Armenians return their homes and claim their properties was issued and that many of them returned their homes,
that those who returned their homes cooperated with the French and English armies and fought in these armies individually wearing their uniforms during the Turkish Freedom War and
that the documents presented by the Armenians to support their views are full of forgeries.
