Genocides from Turkey

Dear Editors;  Dear Stanley Weiss

Turkey;  A Brilliant Fraud - A Serious Genocide Discrepancy

        In your above quoted brilliant report there is a grave discrepancy.  You rightly accuse Turkey for slaughtering 1.5 millions of its Armenian inhabitants.  You state that they transported them in cattle carts;  no there would not be enough such carts for such a titanic slaughter.  Turks' favourite method was to walk their victims to nowhere and to exhaust them till dead.

        While you attribute them with that great 1.5 millions number, you commit a disservice in reporting the sordid history of Turkey.  Besides their crime concerning Armenians, you ignore their other holocaust of millennia-standing indigenous populations of over 1,4 millions Hellenes and over 900 thousands Assyrians.  Some total of 4.5 millions of Asia Minor populations were slaughtered under the orders of Mustapha Kamal and Topal Pasha.  [N.B.  "Ataturk - father of Turkey" is rather fanciful for having a non-Turk Donmeh fanatic who actually despised them, be  their "father".  By a slip of the tongue a member of the Turkish government, visiting London stated that "the genocides gave purpose for fostering the bond of Turkish nationalism";  hence their chauvinism].  The discrepancy for Turkey's crime is grossly another 3 millions Christian lives

        Likewise in its colonial years, Australia committed wholesale atrocities to eradicate the natives (inhumanly termed vermin) from their lands.  In latter years Australia as a nation repented and voiced SORRY for this gross crime.  Then made amends to the surviving natives (termed aboriginee nations).  It recognised  - their land rights under its Mabo legislation,  - their citizen rights,  - and pursues a program of reconciliation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            By this and other precedents in New Zealand's Treaty of Waitangi with its Maori natives, USA's with its Sioux natives, Canada, Germany's genocide of Namimbia, and elsewhere, Turkey ought to recognise its victim indigenous ethnicities as its rightful millennia-old natives (by comparison Turkey as a nation is only seven centuries old), and to restore their citizenship, land properties and shrines ownership, civilisations freedom of faith and culture, democratic equality and pertinent rights.  It must adapt to recognise the original ethnicities legitimately as its:  - "Hellenic Ethnicity of Turkey",  - "Armenian Ethnicity of Turkey",  - Assyrian Ethnicity of Turkey",  etc

        Dear Stanley Weiss, in pursuance of historical truth and justice it is only right to restore this discrepancy.  Not only Armenians, but also Hellenes and Assyrians are victims of the great genocide in Asia Minor.  The world should more fully and correctly get to know the facts concerning Turkey's recalcitrance and hypocrisy.  It pretends concern over Palestinians, when on the contrary it leaves open its repetitive crimes in Asia Minor (viz. 2 pogroms on Constantinople 1922 and 1955, the burning of Smyrna, the ethnic cleansing 1955 to 1980, the 1974 Attila 1, 2, massacres, still current aggression, ethnic cleansing and apartheid on Cyprus), and still slaughters the Kurds and Alowites, besides harassing the non-turkic peoples and their millennia-celebrated institutions.  Please restore these discrepancies

        Thank you, all the best
