Is it considered "extreme

Is it considered "extreme right" to simply be proud of one's culture?

Besides, Turkey should not be surprised after denying the genocide and deportation of nearly all of its Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian populations!

Is it considered extreme to condemn them for it? Is it?

Germany has recognized its crimes and so should Turkey. Why do we have double standards?


So True. Germany (and every

So True. Germany (and every other countries) had it share with a bloody history and Turkey should NOT deny its own history genocide and deportation of Greeks and other ethnic people.

As for people who supported that Turkish Colours on Eiffel Tower: "Je suis ici pour voir Fance, pas Turquie!" >__<


Only after Turkey admits to

Only after Turkey admits to the Genocide committed against Armenians and Greeks and apologises for it ,can Turkey expect to have the honor of having the Turkish Colors on the Eiffel tower.


It looked beautiful lit up in

It looked beautiful lit up in the greatest country's national flag colours!!! WHY should we admit to something that never happened? there is NO evidence it is just a political game. When will the armenians admit to taking arms backed by russia and attacking the Turkish people and the Ottoman State? When will the greek/greek cypriots admit to the genocide against the Turkish Cypriots in 1963 December the 22nd? known as Bloody Christmas ! thats what I call double standards .


Erden, I think it is you who

Erden, I think it is you who is trying to play the political game, here.

Your words are an insult to the millions who suffered and died in the most horrific ways in the name of the red, crescented banner.

You do know that the Assyrians, who used to number in the millions now number just under a million, right?

You do know that Armenia included the northeastern corner of Turkey, right?

You do know that Haya Sophia was once a symbol for all Eastern Christians. It was "converted" into a mosque. Was it ever given back? No.

Do not forget, Erden, that millions of your Turkish countrymen live on STOLEN PROPERTY. Yes, STOLEN.

What audacity! What chutzpah!


Nikephoros Phocas, do you

Nikephoros Phocas, do you know how many Turkish Cypriots died in the hands of EOKA terrorists? in the name of Enosis? how many people were slaughtered in the nights of 1963? How many innocent Turkish Cypriot people children included were slaughtered in 1974? how Larnaca airport occupies Turkish Cypriot land? how a greek woman is living in my Nans house in Baf Koukla? (paphos) paying her £10 rent a month? £10? and you or demanding £1 millions? we are not worthless we are human beings and you treat us as no class citizens in our own country? and the greeks have the nerve to talk about human right violations? how about our rights written in the 1960 Cyprus constitution? All the aljerians killed by french people? like the french are soo innocent? like the greeks are angels? what about The right to self determination? you think you can deny people their rights and then expect them to honor your so called rights? Hagia sophia? why in heavens name would and how could we "give it back" it is not a mosque it is a Museum now! what about the crusades? All the killings of innocent Muslims. All the innocent Jews murdered by europeans that is genocide! people taking up arms and attacking a state and being moved out of trouble areas is NOT "genocide" to call it is an INSULT to the victims of the holocaust!
