DominO123 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Alterior motives!!!!! Job opportunities at the university and be worshiped by turks. I don't believe for one minute that he did it only for freedom of speech. Doesn't make sense, like I said, he is not a historian. I think he is just an old eccentric artist who wanted attention.

Does it have to be a historian to have a say about the French genocide bill? Politicians are not historians and yet they make or break lots of issues nowadays. Turks will use any person historian or not to push their agenda, this guy whom you call old eccentric is a smart person who knows how to milk the naive turks and get what he wants by using the Armenian suffering just like the others.

Hellektor Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 No, it's because of people like Stanford Shaw. Bernard Lewis. Bruce Fein. Shimon Peres. Rivka Kohen. Cheryl Kagan. Bruce Ramer. The jewish lobbies. The state of israel, all of whom lend their total support and resources to turkish denialism. Add Daniel Fried, Brenda Shaffer, Ariel Cohen and his "Heritage" Foundation or indeed all those "foundations" with humanitarian names such as "Human" Rights This, "Human" Rights That, "Freedom" House Here, Strategic "Studies" There, all those George Soros founded whorehouses such as "International" Crisis Group and all his "offices" in the ex-Union of Soviet Sionist "Republics", that are responsible for those colorful Yiddish "revolutions", etc. to the list. And it's very unfortunate that Israelis and Israel is against our Genocidal acceptance. It's sheer shame when I always have sympathized with them for their misfortunes; but they are not at all sympathyzing for us now. Dear Anahid Takouhi, Personally, I don't give a damn for any state to recognize the AG or anyone to shed crocodile tears for us. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm ungrateful to those who have done so. And contrary to QueBeceR's view I wouldn't complain about the French law and I hope it will be adopted. There's a beautiful saying in Persian that goes "You do not count the teeth of a horse offered to you". I think Armenians nagging against this law just make themselves ridiculous in the eyes of the world. We complain when no one is giving us anything and we complain when someone does. For instance Aznavour had protested that the law should be for all genocides but Mr. Aznavour, which other genocide is being denied besides that of the Armenians? The only other one is already protected by an exclusive law passed in different European countries. I don't care whether they had an interest in doing so. We have lost 90% of our homeland as the result of genocide. A timid "recognition" and a fake apology don't cut it AT ALL. The perpetrator must be punished. Retribution dear, retribution! The problem however is that the state of Israel officially denies the Armenian genocide. That's where it hurts. I don't expect them to feel for us as another poster is questioning why they should. If they could just as much as refrain from screwing us over, I would have no problem whatsoever regarding the YHWH's "chosen". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were Turkey, I would spend money on some professional historian than an artist that made his time. He got the academic position and citizenship just like that. Thibaux accepted an academic position offered by Turkey's Akdeniz University and declared he would become a Turkish citizen in response to the Armenian genocide bill approved in the French Parliament in October 2005.

DominO123 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 He got the academic position and citizenship just like that. Yes! But the offer only happened after he requested citizenship, there is no evidences that he was proposed for this position before his decision. It would not make sense, Turkey hire professional historians to do the job, and this is what they need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well aware that Israel now is denying our rights of Genocidal acceptance. Do you think for a minute that it doesn't make my blood boil or doesn't make me very unhappy? Of cours it does; but at the same time I try to act like a sane woman and try to compromise and try to workout, discuss and dispute with them our differences, rather than to come head on fighting fiercely and lose a great deal in doing so. And I also don't wish to create hard times and annoyances to our Administrators. But when it comes to talks about retribution; of course I totally agree that the enemy must pay and plenty.

He had a Turkish wife and landed in Turkey to make a documentary. Not everyone who support Turkey are first hired. Some get hired after their initial position, eccentricity in this cases from a rotten artist is what seems to be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anahid Takouhi jan, You sound angry. It was in no way my intention to make you mad. I quoted you just as an example of what all the others are saying namely, why we should sympathize with certain people and why certain people don't sympathize with us. What I meant was, I for my part am not looking for crocodile tears but a bit of decency and humanity which I don't see anywhere in the "civilized" world. That's all!

No Hellektor, I'm not angry, but at the same token I don't wish my intentions not to be understood either. As a matter of fact I understand you entirely. It is not important to have anyone's sympathy now after so many years; but some action is required. You are right, and I also agree with you that I don't wish to stand between the French law's passing. For haven's sake we struggled now for over 90 years to have those turks to accept our Genocide and they fought against us with every which way they could; bribery, venality, corruption, you name it they did it, then why? why should we stand on the way of France's passing that law now in favor for us and our just cause?

There are lots of people who disagreed with the bill, show me another person who wanted to be a Turkish citizen and change their names into Turkish name move to Turkey and get an academic job. I wonder where was he when the same law about holocaust passed? Why did he not ask for German citizenship and change his name in order to protest the unjust law in his opinion.

Dear Anahid Takouhi, Good to see we agree on some points. I have to repeat myself, and I think this is very important, the recognition of the AG is not ինքնանպատակ. What if Jurkey accepted and apologized? So what? After the Recognition, comes Restoration and Retribution, the three Rs we should never forget for one second. What I'm saying is, even in a case where Genocideland does not recognize the AG, and sometime in the future when Armenia becomes strong enough, we have to do anything we can to get the other Rs at any price. I'm saying this, because the Turks refuse to recognize exactly for this reason. Can we wait a thousand years until the savages lick up the crap they put us through or shouldn't we, when we get the chance, shove it down their muzzles? why should we stand on the way of France's passing that law now in favor for us and our just cause? It wouldn't make sense as far as I am concerned, it wouldn't make sense at all. Dear, I also said I'm 100% behind the law and I even cited a Persian proverb and put a question to Mr. Aznavour to rebuke those who criticize it.

Hellektor jan: I understood everything you said the first time and I have always been in agreement to everything you said and say. Again, when I said for certain nationalities having feelings for us; I thought you understood "lerelyayn" that I am asking them to redeem themselves and start acting like human beings and really act democratically for the love of God, and not just by words democratically but by deeds. I am basically and mostly speaking about Israel's and Brittain's stand and also U.S.A.'s. All three claim that as if they are democratic but they are not acting it? They are kissing the turks' behind always, in the past and until today, and that's disturbing for all of us (Armenians); not just you and me; but all the patriotic Armenians throughout the world. And I am well aware the turks' games about the acceptance of the AG from the ghethgo. Of course; they have always been afraid to accept it as you justly put it out. First comes Recognition, then comes Restoration and then Retribution. But that's exactly what they are afraid of and that's why they give all kinds of threats to U.S.'s High Officials, to Britain and basically to the European countries. They are afraid that we'll want our lands back. Oh boy they are afraid of that. Well that's just too bad. When the time comes we will get it. We will get our lands back one by one. Dear, I also said I'm 100% behind the law and I even cited a Persian proverb and put a question to Mr. Aznavour to rebuke those who criticize it. I know Hellektor. On this subject I wasn't referring about you as I am in full agreement with you. I was referring to other people in here that you said that they were against it. Not you.

phantom22 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Verginne, Although I don't like the tone of your comment, I believe that you are 100% CORRECT. My hunch is also that this Thibaux is of the extraction that you allude to. You see, since I have an odar surname and not an Armenian one, I am more attuned to recognizing Jews who have surnames and identities that one would not suspect for a person of Jewish background. I remember being surprised that the blond Anglo-Saxon appearing fresman college roomate who was assigned to me was a Reform Jew. He had a very Anglo-Saxon surname. For some Jews the Armenian Genocide is an affront. They seem to view it as somehow diminishing their Holocaust. Clearly the views of a sick mind, diminishing one genocide to obstensibly elevate another. Where was he? Actively PROMOTING the law about the jewish adventures of WWII.

irlandahay Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Racism?????? Pure BS. Just stating facts. Ninety-nine percent of the AG deniers who aren't turks are jews. Nothing "racist" about stating FACTS. Also, in truth, there was nothing "racist" about the Armenian Genocide either. It had to do with geopolitical ambititions in regard to world resources, eliminating the competition and zionist land grabbing. ru dumb?! nothing racist bout the armenian genocide? how can ANY genocide not be about racism?! "the attempt to exterminate in whole or in part an ethnic group" you spit out filth about jews and then you say your not a racist? alot of jews have been very supportive of armenians and have done everything in their power to help us. look them up before talking moron. you need to figure yourself out!

No, not A LOT, but a FEW and they have not done EVERYTHING in their power either, as I stated many times, I don't see them making their lobbies stop or the state of israel stop what they're doing, so NO they have not done everything in their power. BTW, since when is the truth FILTH??? look them up before talking moron. Ad hominems and name calling don't make your case at all. I now the names, I know the cirucmstances entirely. I am quite informed, unlike you.

hanoumaki Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 It's a lot more beautiful in its English equivalent - "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth". The Turkish equivalent is "Bahshish verdigi atin dishine", BTW. The actual Turkish saying is: "Bahshish [verildigi] atin dishine bakilmaz."
