Guest Fadi Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Has someone read this ? http://www.eraren.org/eng/articles/Armenia...hScepticism.htm Is that what the "Institute for Armenian Research" call actually research ? This "work"(if we can call it a work), is just an example of pseudo-intellectualism, selectivally quoting works, when these works conclude the compleat opposit of what the author here try to make us conclude. He goes even as far as quoting Yair Auron, without indicating that the quoted taken from his book was a critic of the Israeli politic not to agree with it. What is even more ironic is that Sedat Laciner( a PhD ) even refer to Israel Charny, and start his work by refering the Standford Shaw, an individual that is even less credinle then Turkish diplomats. And then, an important part of his references are based on the incident with Peres, trying to extract the maximum over it, and try to picture it as anti-semitism... After reading what he wrote, one wonder if his PhD is supposed to prove his credential, or to hide his ignorance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sen_Vahan Posted October 3, 2002 Report Share Posted October 3, 2002 Is it possible that the author bought his PhD? The problem is that if nobody attacks this stupid author and criticises him then later one may say that ok,no critics,silence and consequently all is true. Masses tend to believe anti-intellectual works rather tha intellectual ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that´s the way Turkey intends to do "research", they better think of something else. But a good employment opportunity for self-described "scholars".
