khodja Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Now businessmen in Istambul are organizing against recognition of the Armenian Genocide. What is the motivation here? Ali Suat claims that none of the wealth of Turkish industrialists emanted from the confiscated wealth of Armenians. Given the frenzy we see in Ankara, I would tend to disbelieve that premise.

khodja Posted January 28, 2002 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2002 Ali, I will have to search for your comments, but if my memory serves me correctly you stated that all the Armenian wealth in Istambul was lost because of the miserable economic situation Ottoman Turkey found itself in before Ataturk took charge and not because it was confiscated. I know for a fact that my family's wealth is presently in the hands of Turkish brahmins and the heads of various German and Swiss banks.
