'ARMENIANS TRUST USA BECAUSE IT DID NOT SIGN THE LAUSANNE TREATY, THUS DOES

NOT RECOGNIZE TURKEY'

 

This is a sentence from the first volume of "The History of Genocides:

The Crime Against Humanity Committed by the West" book by Turkish

anthropologist Sefa M. Yuruqel who lives in Denmark since 1981. He got

higher education in Denmark and wrote a number of books on history

and anthropology. His latest work, as the author believes, will be

assembled in 20 volumes.

 

The Turkish Public Television touched upon Yuruqel's work on June

14, citing the following sentence, "The Armenians trust more not

the Western states but the USA because the latter did not sign the

Lausanne Treaty, thus it officially does not recognize the Turkish

Republic. Perhaps that is the reason why they organize reparation

lawsuits in Los Angeles".

 

On June 15, Jumhurriyet newspaper published an interview with Yuruqel

on the first page. Answering the journalist's questions, Yuruqel

considers the UN Convention on Genocides a ploy of the United States

and the West, accuses them of genocide, describes deportation as

"genocides-aimed" and as a necessary measure and puts the Armenian

deportation in this group emphasizing, "The UN Convention does not

view the events before 1948 as genocide".

 

The only new thing in these statements is Turkey's scientific and

political circles' condemnation of the US in "not recognizing Turkey's

territorial wholeness", as America did not sign the Lausanne Treaty.

 

Yuruqel might well accuse all other states of the world of failing

to recognize Turkey, as the Lausanne Treaty of July 24, 1923, was

signed only by England, France, Italy, Greece, Romania, Hungary and

Japan. But instead he goes on calling the US a colonizer and does

not forget about the Armenian Diaspora.

 

Asked about the activities of Diaspora Armenians to get Armenian

Genocide internationally recognized, Yuruqel says, "In fact, it is not

the Diaspora that heads those activities but the international powers

that has been using Armenians since 1856 and are now using PKK. They

once employed the Greeks to take Eastern Anatolia over. The instigators

are the 4 powers that top the UN. Those powers make decisions in their

countries. That is not Armenians' decision. The Armenians simply show

willingness but those states take decisions. Those states, particularly

the USA, did not sign the Lausanne Treaty. Consequently they do not

recognize the Turkish Republic. The Lausanne is the legitimate bases of

Turkey; it has officially set the boundaries of the state. Even if the

US President does recognize, a document that was not ratified by the

Senate will still remain forceless. For that reason, America's decision

to recognize Turkey is merely of administrative character, like the

one of Palestine Liberation Organization. The USA's attitude towards

Turkey is one of a colonizer. The US does not recognize Turkey's

territorial wholeness. I turned to diplomats for clarification and

they confirmed my words. The second country that does not recognize

Turkey's territorial wholeness is Armenia. Before 1921, the US had

promised to create Armenia and a state of Pontos in Anatolia but it

failed. But there is a map called the "principles of Wilson" outlining

the promised land. Turkey has to put before the US signing of the

Lausanne Treaty as a precondition. The history provides examples of

the US and England grabbing other states with deceit. Turkey has to

demand from the US and Armenia the recognition of the Lausanne Treaty".

 

As we do not have "The History of Genocides: The Crime Against

Humanity Committed by the West", it is useless to draw conclusions. As

to the interview, besides backing Turkey's official thesis on the

Armenian Genocide, it is thick with unbalanced thoughts that follow no

logic. The unbalanced approach and lack of logic are the symptoms of

fear. Yuruqel is apparently at a loss at the thought that the Sevres

Treaty will break Turkey up.

indeed. how do they allow themselves to say such foolish things? especially someone who has education?

doesn't this belong to the humor section?

Nothing here surprises me. Turkey is a nation living in self-delusion. Just think about what transpired when it was revealed that Ataturk's adopted aughter was an Armenian.

 

This guy can get away with this in Turkey because true scholarship does not exist in a state where thought is contolled from the top.
