Cengiz Aktar : Today, three patterns emerge in Turkeys - TopicsExpress



          

Cengiz Aktar : Today, three patterns emerge in Turkeys traditional policy towards the events of 1915. First, denialist lobbying activities abroad and efforts to influence the lawmakers, especially in the US are now co-sponsored by Azeris. Secondly, denials cloaked in scientific covers aimed at persuading the Western academic world have become prominent, replacing the vulgar denialism. And thirdly, there is a clear attempt to substitute other events for 1915. Dardanelles battle victory in the west and the military debacle of Sarikamis in the east, are being flogged in the official narrative as the historical substitutes to what occurred to Armenians in 1915. Despite these endeavours, Turkey has long lost the battle of truth. The destruction of the Armenian population on its ancestral land is a sheer fact, whatever else you might call it. aljazeera/indepth/opinion/2014/04/armenian-genocide-turkey-lost-b-201441772048318940.html
