QUOTE: 1. Turkey is the successor of Ottoman empire. If it is not, why the emblem of the Turkish presidency carries 16 stars, 1 of which symbolizes the Ottoman empire? 2. Turkey is responsible for the Genocide of 1915, because Genocide took place in Turkey during young Turk regime, which was the path for the new Turkish Republic, as much as it was the Ottoman Empire. Ataturk was a former Ittihad and Terraki member. On the other hand, Ottoman empire is directly responsible for the Armenian massacres of 1895-96 which took place under Abdul Hamit II reign. ** REPLY: Turkey isn't the successor of Ottoman Empire, Turkish Republic was established on Ottoman lands after Ottoman died, and the people of Turkish republic got those lands making war with attackers (Englishs, Frenchs, Greeks.. ect). Those lands weren't inheritance of Ottomans to Turkish Republic. Turkish people who lived in Ottoman lands weren't satisfied by Ottoman Administrator. And Turkey Founder(Ataturk) and Ottoman administrator were strongly in disagreement in ideologies and many issues. Plus, Ittihad and Terakki groups defense Ottoman's administrator and its existance and continuousness. So ATATURK CANNOT BE THE MEMBER OF THIS GROUP AS THEIR IDEOLOGIES WERE DIFFERENT. Moreover, Ataturk says that: 'Turkey comes into existence from TURKISH PEOPLE WHO ESTABLISHED TURKISH REPUBLIC' That shows THE BIG DIFFERENCE between them (Ottomans-Turkish People in Turkey) as they both are turks. So DO NOT confuse turks who live in Turkey, with Ottomans. Because those people, were struggling against Ottomans, inside. On the other hand, they were trying to defense the lands where they live in against attackers. After all these, how can Turkey continue Ottomans? Their races sameness still doesn't show that Turkey must be accused by Ottomans issues. When this FIRST armenian issue was formed, Turkey wasn't established yet. So Turkey cannot be responsible of Ottomans epoche. Meaning, Turkey isn't involved into this so-called armenian genocide.

Well, maybe i am here to correct one thing which is known 'flatly' wrong by many ignorants like you, ha? How about this?

Well, whatever happened in the past (during Ottoman Empire epoche), genocide or not. BUT, WHY IS TURKEY BEING BROUGTH INTO THESE? I hope you all have a piece of information about this point that: Turkey DO NOT continue Ottomans! So please, have it in your mind and do not ever forget! okplzthanks!
