joseph parikian Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 United Human Rights Council http://www.UnitedHumanRights.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ URGENT ACTION ALERT +++ URGENT ACTION ALERT +++ Please distribute/forward Monday, October 20, 2003 Send an email to the Los Angeles Music Center(Dorothy Chandler Pavilion) =================================================================== Situation – 80th Anniversary of the Turkish Republic in Los Angeles =================================================================== The Turkish American Association of Southern California (member of the Assembly of Turkish American Associations) will be celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Turkish Republic on Saturday, November 1, 2003 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. According to its website, this organization has as its primary objective, “the presentation of a more balanced view of Turkish culture and Turkish people.” In laymen’s terms, this translates into the denial and/or undermining of Turkey’s continued human rights violations, including the Genocide of the Armenians and Greek Cypriots, inhumane treatment and massacre of the Kurds, vile treatment of prisoners, and torture of its citizens. The 80th anniversary celebration of a government that does not feel any sense of accountability for these violations creates a major problem among the multi-ethnic communities of Los Angeles. In other words, the Republic of Turkey was founded, but in the process millions of Armenians and Greeks perished. Because the Turkish government neither admitted to nor repented its crimes such inhumane acts are mirrored in Turkey’s treatment of the Kurds today. We ask that all activists who believe in the preservation of basic human rights to write to the management of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, urging them to cancel this disgraceful celebration, which can only be viable after the Turkish government takes responsibility for its actions and begins to make serious attempts at improvement. In the meantime, our communities should not support organizations that try to rewrite or create a “balanced view” of history. ------------------------------------------------------------ SAMPLE EMAIL/FAX/PHONE/LETTER SCRIPT - BELOW ------------------------------------------------------------ - Emails should be sent to general@musiccenter.org - Faxes should be sent to (213) 972-7323 - Phone calls should be made to (213) 972-7211 or (213) 972-7478 - Letters should be mailed to: Howard Sherman VP of Operations 135 N Grand Ave Los Angeles CA 90012 - Please copy and paste the following text to an E-mail message. - Please copy and paste the following into the subject field of the email: November 1 – Turkish Independence Day - Please fill in your full name and email address/address at the end of the E-mail. ------------------------------------------------------------ Howard Sherman VP of Operations 135 N Grand Ave Los Angeles CA 90012 October 21, 2003 Dear Mr. Howard Sherman: I am writing to you in order to express my deep concern for the 80th anniversary celebration of the Turkish Republic to be held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on Saturday, November 1, 2003. According to its website, the host organization strives to present “a more balanced view of Turkish culture and Turkish people.” In laymen’s terms this translates into the denial and/or undermining of Turkey’s continued human rights violations, including the Genocide of the Armenians and Greek Cypriots, inhumane treatment and massacre of the Kurds, vile treatment of prisoners, and torture of its citizens. The 80th anniversary celebration of a government that does not feel any sense of accountability for these violations creates a major problem among the multi-ethnic communities of Los Angeles. In other words, the Republic of Turkey was founded, but in the process, millions of Armenians and Greeks perished. Because the Turkish government neither admitted to nor repented its crimes such inhumane acts are mirrored in Turkey’s treatment of the Kurds today. Bearing the atrocities perpetrated by the Turkish government in mind, I urge the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion to cancel this disgraceful celebration, which can only be viable after the Turkish government takes responsibility for its actions and begins to make serious attempts at improvement. In the meantime, our communities should not support organizations that try to rewrite or create a “balanced view” of history. I thank you for your time, appreciate your attention to this matter, and kindly await your response regarding this issue. Sincerely, (Your Name & Address/Email) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 For goodness' sake, what country on earth is expected to outline their vices on their national day celebrated on their soil or on any other periphery? Can you imagine that? France, Britain, U.S., China, Russia, Belgium (yes, they have skeletons in their closet, too - in Africa!) among a host of others, talking skulls and bones on days when they're supposed to celebrate the beginning of their existence, which every country can and should do? How much more warped up are people's brains supposed to get? Denial and distortion my arse... Are Armenians supposed to talk about the darker parts of their history on their celebration days? NO!!! No wonder you get "opponents'" websites hacked every other day. It's this warped mentality.PATHETIC!!! Mind your own business and work on your own celebrations. Derrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormig Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 By "darker parts," I meant the genocide and massacres up to it... If you're supposed to be joyous and not talk all the time about your pain, how do you expect the inflicters of that pain to talk about it? WTF! Get a clue already...

America-Hye Posted October 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I thought that we had ALL agreed not to continue discussing sexual orientation issues in THIS thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
