misakz Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 The Boycott of Turkish Products will help Armenia more then it hurts Turkey! Turks are very nationalistic (even more so than Armenians) to the point of being chauvinists. Turks get pissed very easily when somebody says anything anti Turkish, and as often been the case they implicate themselves even more. So the boycott will have more of a psychological impact then an economical impact in Turkey. More so, as someone pointed out earlier, the benefit of providing alternatives (Made in Armenia) can benefit Armenians economy significantly. BTY Somebody had suggested to boycott GAZOZ, GAZOZ is not a Turkish company, nor is it a product of Turkey. It is bottled in California, by an Armenian. I don’t know why he named it GAZOZ, the Turkish word for “soft drink”. If anyone has any suggestions for the BOYCOTT TURKEY Campaign, or you would like to help, please send an email to info@boycott-turkey.org your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, Misak Zetilyan Executive Director BOYCOTT TURKEY Campaign www.boycott-turkey.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Misak , please revise your linguistics. When did “gazoz”, gaseous//gazeoz , to mean “airy/gaseous/Full of (hot) air" become a Turkish word? Do we know Armenian? Do we know what “otasoun” means?

Arpa, it is not a question of knowing Armenian or not. Open up a Turkish dictionary and you will find the word "Gazoz" in there; it means "soft drink" in turkish. Now the word may have it's origins from Armenian but that does not make it an Armenian word, when it is no longer used in Armenian. Boycott Turkish products!

Please read my post again. Besides the fact that I am basically lazy, sometimes I also assume too much. Sometime I take it for granted that most correspondents here know as much Armenian, English, French, Latin/Italian,Turkish, Arabic.... etc. as I do. Mea culpa**, my bad, my bad! You saw that I said the word is the English “gaseous“, and the French “gazeuse”. I never said the word was Armenian, and I gave the literal Armenian translation, not a real Armenian word-”otasoun”, i.e full of air/gas. As to the Turkish dictionary, they have many Latin words masquerading as Turkish, many, just off the top, no I actually checked in my miniscule Turkish dictionary , the word for “cement” is “cimento/chimento” from the Italian “chimento/cimento”. Does that make that word of Turkish origin? Please, once again read carefully, I said "Turkish origin". Once again. Welcome, but do read my post more carefully as often I assume too much. BTW, In Arabic slang carbonated beverages are also known as “kazoz”, there is no G in Arabicunless one is speaking in the Egyptian dialect who pronounce the J as G, as in Jamaal Abdelnasser/Gamal…In most provincial Arabic te camel is known as “jamal”, in Egypt it ids “gamal”. Do you see the connection between “gamal” and camel”? Now, if you think this post is too gaseous/gazeuse/full of (hot) air/gas” don’t blame me. Blame the close to 100F temperatures we are having in the NE. : ** "culpa", Latin, means sin/guilt, as in the English "culpable", and Armenian "meghavor".

Which brings to mind the story of this very proper Bostonian missionary lady who upon witnessing a Turk rape and murder an Armenian maiden told the Turk to ; "PLEASE not do it, as it was 'shameful' and 'sinful', amot yev meghq".

gamavor Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 http://www.tradeturkey.com/search/browseme...&objtype=IF Very useful site!!! Scroll down and pick a list of companies that do business with turks and boycott them too. Mostly they are from USA, Israel, but also Saudi Arabia, UAE, Thailand, Zair, India, Italy, Pakistan, Tanzania, etc. The site is very usefull in that that goes by industry with information of the foreign buyers. Boycott the bastards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
