"In this movement we took with us three thousand Turkish soldiers who had been captured by the Russians and left on our hands when the Russians abandoned the struggle. During our retreat to Karaklis two thousand of these poor devils were cruelly put to death. I was sickened by the brutality displayed, but could not make any effective protest. Some, mercifully, were shot. Many of them were burned to death. The method employed was to put a quantity of straw into a hut, and then after crowding the hut with Turks, set fire to the straw."

The bottom line is, who confiscated the properties of whom? Are not the descendants of the Ittihadists enjoying the plundered wealth of the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians?....And how do the Turks treat their minorities today, Huh? My ancestor was one of the 22 Armenians they mention, why am I not just elated?

 

I doubt that the Europeans are buying their line. Perhaps the Pakistanis are, but what other nation?

You may add this to that "bibliography".

 

I came across this on a forum run by Hamshentsis in Turkey.

 

No comment necessary, except that notice the opening lines where he states to be a "Turkish citizen", he does not say he is a Turk..

 

No date or location is given . It seems like he may have written it to an April 24th committee somewhere, sometime.The letter may also be found in the internet using his name as a search criteria. I could not locate an e-mail address either. He deserves letters of our love and encouragement. Who knows! He may decide to return to his true ancestry and bring with him a whole tribe.

Forgive me!!

 

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

My name is Mehmet Deviren, and I am a Turkish citizen. My late grand mother was an Armenian but this was kept a secret from my sisters and I until one nasty argument between my mother and father, which she ended up calling my father “ son of an Armenian b…. ”. My mother was not a naturally nasty person but she was ignorant about what had had happened in 1915. In that she was not alone. 99% of the nation was with her. The remaining 1% knew the truth but it had not suited them, it still does not. We were told to hate evil Armenians by the state and why would any body should or dare to change that!

When I confronted my mother on what she had said to my father I was given a very economical explanation (in fact I do believe that was all she knew about the subject), that my paternal great grand father and his brothers were involved in killing many Armenians near the Murad River in ongoing hostilities against the Armenians by the Turkish army and local militia. After they had executed their orders they returned to their village together with three little Armenian sisters whose parents had been killed by the very same men. As you know these atrocities had happened in many other places across the country. Those young girls all over the country rescued by men like my ancestors either by due to a limited humanity they had sustained or fore a more sinister and perverted reasons. In due time the three sisters had married to the sons of the brothers. My grand mother was the youngest of the three sisters.

I have also learnt from my grand father some details of his father’s and his uncles’ so called holly duties. Those poor people had been hand tied to one another and told “Murad Baba (father Murad) is waiting for you” before they were taken to a river to be thrown in, their hands were still tied in order to save bullets. There was no remorse what so ever in his words.

My grand mother and her sisters were all criticised to hold conversations in an unknown language by us, and especially my grand mother not to shed tears in times of family tragedies. She was branded a heartless woman by most of the family. Who would have guessed that she ran out of tears at the age of four when she had being forced to watch all her loved ones slaughtered.

Years went by and all the things I have heard about what had happened to the Armenians faded away due to the fact that they had been contradicted with what I had been taught in our history lesson at school. According to our schoolbooks it was the Armenians who had murdered the innocent Turks and they were continuing to do so under the name of ASALA. Surely all these books and teachers and journalists and statesmen could not be wrong. And who was I or any one else to suspect them. Didn’t they warn us against these lies, which were spread by the enemies of our country to undermine our sovereignty?

In mid eighties I moved to UK and started a job, which involved in many trips to south east of Anatolia. During some of these trips I met elderly local people (most of them were Kurds) and one way or another without any political purpose the subject turned into what had happened in 1915. What I was hearing collaborated with my childhood memories about my grandmother and every thing I have had heard from my grandfather, ect. Everywhere I went, there was a sad story and some concrete evidences to back them up. I will not repeat to you what you already know of. Yet these unexpected revelations have started to haunt me.

I had always some suspicions of the concepts of the state regulated history books and disbelief towards our politicians, however the truth was too hard to digest.

On my last trip to the region I went to a village near the city of Diyarbakir in order to hold a report about forced relocation of the villagers to a nearby town to stop their possible support to the separatist terrorist fighters. They had been given a little bit more than a week to evacuate their homes by the state and almost all of the villagers were against it. But they were powerless and desperate to stay in the land, which they all lived in for many generations. I shall never forget the painful words of one very old man to me “son we have taken this land from the Armenians, we built our lives on their tears and blood and now we are leaving this land behind amid our tears and blood on it.”

When I saw my sisters again I told them about what I had learnt and their response was total disbelief. Their explanation for what I said was that I living in UK and working for a foreign organisation corrupted my senses. Basically according to them I was poisoned by foreign powers, which wanted to divide up our beloved country. Had I not heard that before!

I was told to shut up and not to repeat that to any one else for my sake as well as theirs. But how could I? It was like being a witness to a terrible crime and not to come forward. Now I know the truth and the truth was too painful to keep silent. Yes I was Turkish and I always loved my country but I was also a human and being a human carries certain responsibilities.

I told the same story to some of my friends and the result was almost similar plus I have lost some of their trust and friendship for good.

I had also written letters to some of the Turkish Newspapers and in return I have received either an insult or no response at all.

Today my dear grandmother and her sisters are long gone. So I do not have the opportunity to tell her how sorry I am for what happened to her and her nation or try to share her pain and sorrow, which I believe she had carried with her until the day she died. According to my religion once the soul leaves the body, forgives every wrong doings and every injustice. My ancestors who had committed these atrocities will be answering to their creator, may God show mercy on their souls.

But the earth belongs to the living and I for one beg of your forgiveness for all the pain that my ancestors had caused to your nation. Yes there was a war in 1915 and the politicians of both sides had made mistakes, but nothing can justify for the massacre of the innocent civilians.

One day I hope my beloved country will accept these historic facts and let the truth set them free.

 

Yours truly,

Mr. Mehmet Deviren

If those words awakens such emotions in you, how about transcribing their echo using musical phrases?
