admin: I am sick of the vulgarities and threats from people who cannot disagree civilly. From now on, whenever this kind of tripe is posted, banning will take place immediately without notice or warnings and comments will just be deleted rather than edited. None of this ilk will get the benefit of even the slightest publicity. If you can disagree without cussing people out or threatening them or accusing them of crimes, go ahead and argue your point. If you cannot, you’re done here.

Also, I agree with you that Armenia has major problems with their current government. I’m hoping they solve that…and with that said, I would hope you could come clean and admit Turkey is in a mess far beyond what Armenia is experiencing right now. Just let go of your Turkish nationist views for once and admit it.

Hahahahahaha.

That’s close to hilarious. Anyone who knows a little bit about the situation in that part of the world will be laughing their asses off.

Who do you think you’re talking to? People who don’t know anything about the region?

JudasPreist,

My hope for Turkey’s "destruction" is aimed at tearing down the corrupt institutions that have cause Turkey to be run through the intimidation of a deep state couples with the ills of islamification.

…and as far as the Armenian Genocide is concerned, I brought it up not to debate it, but to show that a nation who wants to live, cannot be die. I brought it up to give Turkey heart, that all will not be lost once things come to an ugly head in Turkey.
Edited by MvdG: nice try.

Sam you brought the geonocide into this debate, otherwise why would anyone divert the subject here to Armenians.
Read your own blogs (#12) where you are "spewing" your genocide claim first time before nobody. Talking about hatred, in your blog (#2) you said you were hoping for Turkey’s destruction.
Bring up both your "Genocide claims" and "hatred towards Turkey" in relevant discussion topics. I think I and other bloggers here have written extensively on those topics before.

Sam,

You should invite Michael to Armenia. He just might like the people and the country!

Michael, the Armenians are very hospitable, the scenery is magnificent, and the girls are very fetching.

Turkey will be able to recover. It will just be in a different (hopefully a more righteous) form. Listen, if a nation like Armenia can suffer a Genocide and regain its footing to form a new state, Turkey can do the same.

There was no genocide, that’s one. Secondly, Armenia is not a country you should be proud of. Thirdly, Turkey is already a great state, and will be a great state in the future.

Unlike Armenia, which is a country ruled by corrupt dictators and mafiosis.

Sam, why don’t you concentrate on the corruption in Armenia and Armenian politics? Remember Armenia just had an election, in which ballot box stuffing was the national sport, and after which the state blatently censored all media, killed protestors in the street and gave up all pretense of democracy.

And, may I remind all that this is nothing compared to what Turks have been through before?

We will survive this Sam because our people are resilient and strong-willed, and we will emerge from this as indpendent and more powerful, both economically and politically, than ever before. It’s what happened last time.

Yes Umit, it is the people that will suffer. Corrupt institutions always lead to that. But hopefully, the suffering that is almost sure to happen in Turkey, will not be in vain.

Turkey will be able to recover. It will just be in a different (hopefully a more righteous) form. Listen, if a nation like Armenia can suffer a Genocide and regain its footing to form a new state, Turkey can do the same.

Whenever something big like this happens poor people suffer. Sam mentioned "Kemalist institutions should be destroyed" does not make any sense in the way that it takes time and money to put something inplace of them especially the army which we don’t have now. So I can say after anykind of destruction we may not be able to recover. As a major path on oil trasport and the only stable democratic country in the region, I am worried the affect of this kind of instability. Already gas price increased to 115$ . So what could be the way to stop two sides pussing that red button that can start the total destruction?
