khodja Posted January 29, 2002 Report Share Posted January 29, 2002 The Turkish government wants the average American to view all Armenians as terrorists. So they will be honoring a US FBI agent, Peter Elliot,in Turkey. This was the FBI agent whose research put Murad Topalian behind bars. The hundreds of famous and the millions of not-so-famous Armenian-Americans, some of whose Armenian ancestors have been in America since before the Revolution and many of whose ancestors came to America at the turn of the 20th Century, the Turks hope to dismiss. Instead of focusing upon these millions of productive Americans, they will focus upon an Armenian-American who was convicted of involvement with violent anti-Turkish activity. They are riding high on the wave of September 11, but the wave will pass soon. Next they will be lobbying to keep Saddam Hussein in power so that the Kurds do not get any stronger. This will put them at odds with the West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
