gamavor Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Domino, could you recommend e-mail address where we can send our thank you letters to the Canadian parliament. I'm sure they will receive more thank you letters than letters urging them to vote for the motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Domino, could you recommend e-mail address where we can send our thank you letters to the Canadian parliament. I'm sure they will receive more thank you letters than letters urging them to vote for the motion. I think deputees should be thanked individually, I will post the list of those that voted for with their emails, and those that voted against... I am preparing for myself a letter for those that voted for and for those that voted against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominO123 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Turkey Harshly Condemns Motion Of Canadian House Of Commons Recognizing So-called Armenian Genocide Anadolu Agency: 4/22/2004 ANKARA - Turkey on Thursday harshly condemned attitude of Canadian House of Commons recognizing so-called Armenian genocide. Foreign Ministry issued a statement and said Canadian House of Commons adopted a decision on Wednesday and defined several tragic incidents occurred between Turks and Armenians in 1915 as ``genocide``. The statement said Canadian authorities had many times been conveyed the drawbacks which such a possible decision would lead to and noted that, ``we condemned decision of Canadian Parliament which was adopted despite all Turkey`s initiatives.`` The statement said Canadian authorities were blindly following those with marginal views. The statement said it was not up to the parliaments to reach conclusions over controversial periods in history, stating that, ``Some narrow minded Canadian politicians were not able to understand that such decisions based on prejudiced information, will awaken feelings of hatred among people of different ethnic roots and disturb social harmony.`` Pointing out that people were going through a sensitive period requiring international cooperation and solidarity against violence and hatred, and consolidation of tolerance among people having different beliefs and ethnical roots, the statement said decision of Canadian Parliament contradicted its responsibilities. Foreign Ministry said this decision would neither be beneficial to the Armenians living in Canada nor to the Armenia. It said, ``Canadian politicians will be responsible for all the negativities that would be brought forth by this decision.`` Since 1965, the Armenians have been accusing the Turks of an alleged genocide. These intrigues at last have reached its peak by blaming the entire Turkish nation with a so-called genocide. The so-called Armenian genocide allegations caused assassinations of many Turkish officials. Between 1973 and 1985, Armenian terrorist organization of ASALA staged several act of terrorism against Turkish diplomats abroad. 34 people lost their lives in these heinous acts in 19 separate countries. CANADIAN AMBASSADOR LEIR SUMMONED TO TURKISH FOREIGN MINISTRY Michael Leir, Canadian Ambassador in Ankara, was summoned to Turkish Foreign Ministry on Thursday regarding the motion of Canadian House of Commons recognizing so-called Armenian genocide. Foreign Ministry Deputy Undersecretary Nabi Sensoy conveyed Leir Ankara`s sensitivity on the issue and the concern it felt over the motion. Canadian House of Commons adopted a decision on Wednesday and defined several tragic incidents occurred between Turks and Armenians in 1915 as ``genocide``. Earlier in the day, Foreign Ministry issued a statement and said Canadian authorities had many times been conveyed the drawbacks which such a possible decision would lead to and noted that, ``we condemned decision of Canadian Parliament which was adopted despite Turkey`s all initiatives.`` (AY) 22.04.2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamavor Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Freaking turks will never change. I wonder why turks are so much concerned when it was the Ottoman Empire that massacred the Armenians? Oh, I know! Because it is the same Mehmet, Osman, Hasan and Ali that copulates with animals to improve the genetic imbalances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Turkey Harshly Condemns Motion Of Canadian House Of Commons Recognizing So-called Armenian Genocide Anadolu Agency: 4/22/2004 ANKARA - Turkey on Thursday harshly condemned attitude of Canadian House of Commons recognizing so-called Armenian genocide. ====== The statement said it was not up to the parliaments to reach conclusions over controversial periods in history, stating that, ``Some narrow minded Canadian politicians were not able to understand that such decisions based on prejudiced information, will awaken feelings of hatred among people of different ethnic roots and disturb social harmony.`` ===== Foreign Ministry said this decision would neither be beneficial to the Armenians living in Canada nor to the Armenia. It said, ``Canadian politicians will be responsible for all the negativities that would be brought forth by this decision.`` Look at those statements above. Do they not amount to open threats? What do they mean by "social harmony"? Are they threatening to cuase disturbance in Canada? And as to "not beneficial to the Armenians of Canada and Armenia". Are they going to blame the Canadian government when they start massacring Canadian Armenians and invade Armenia? We have always known what kind of dogs they are but now we also know that their bark is more vicious than their bite. Their bark is music to my ears.

DominO123 Posted April 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 (edited) After it was recognised, an idiot wearing a gray wolf Tshirt left the building of the parlement. I was quite amuzed to see that, as the idiot was exposing his mentality while believing he was doing something for the Turkish cause.

DominO123 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Zaman 04.23.2004 Canadian MPs Recognize 'So-Called Armenian Genocide' The Canadian House of Commons followed in the footsteps of France and Switzerland, reportedly approving a motion to recognize the 'so-called Armenian genocide'. Despite Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Graham's stern objections on the ground that the motion would elicit negative reactions from Turkey, which is a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally, the motion was approved by a vote of 153 to 68. True to Graham's warning, Ankara harshly condemned the passage of the motion. Ankara said that Canadian politicians are responsible for all of the negativities stemming from the decision. The Turkish Foreign Ministry issued a statement rebuking the Canadian House of Commons for classifying the tragic incidents between Turks and Armenians in 1915 as "genocide". It was emphasized that parliaments are not obliged to reach judgments about debatable periods of history. Such matters are best left to historians, not politicians. Elsewhere, Graham in a letter he sent to the representatives, voiced his concerns about the "extremely negative outcomes" the motion would cause. After the approval he reported that the Canadian government maintains its viewpoint on the issue, which Graham had made public on June 10, 1999. Graham also pointed out that motions are not binding on the government. In his letter to the Canadian deputies, Graham writes: "Our government is in consensus with the members of parliament regarding the tragic incidents that took place in 1915-1923. Canada had condemned a broad range of exile and massacres against hundreds of thousands of Armenians, had made a call for Turkish and Armenian communities to contribute to regional stability and have continued to encourage them towards reconciliation and peace." On the other side, Turkish Embassy Undersecretary in Canada, Fazli Corman, pointed out that many Canadian companies are competing to be awarded Turkish tenders. He then said, "Our relations with Canada have been deeply harmed after such a decision." 04.23.2004 aa Ottawa, Ankara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
America-Hye Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I hope that Armenia joins NATO soon. Then both Armenia and Turkey will be America's "NATO allies." Armenia can still maintain it's strategic alliances with Russia. Turkey will no longer be able to tout it's NATO membership to the West.

Turkey as a significant member of NATO is a joke because we all know it has betrayed everyone at some point or another. America has just relized that they have commited a ASS by funding them for so long because when the moment came for Turkey to pay its end of the bargin it cleaverly said "SCREW YOU, WE ARE A DEMOCRACY NOW AND THE PEOPLES WILL IS TO NOT JOIN THE COALITION", but interestingly once America had penetrated Iraq it started moving in to annex land (*cough* oil *cough*) for itself and I am sure if America wasn't a superpower it would have done so already. However, incidently their is always Canada, which was also the President's favorite line during the Vietnam War.
