OBJECTION TO ALLEGED ARMANIAN GENOCIDE BEING IN THE HISTORY CLASS CURRICULUM OF THE STATE SCHOOLS IN WISCONSIN

Dear Ladies, Dear Gentlemen, Dear Representatives:

I am writing to register my deep objection to any mandating by the Wisconsin legislature of the alleged “Armenian genocide” as required study material of the history of the world curriculum in
State’s school.

The allegation has been hotly disputed among reputable American and other scholars, and has never been proven in a court of law or other impartial tribunal. World War I and its aftermath inflicted
terrible suffering on hundreds of thousands of both Muslims and Armeniansin a virutal civil war within an international conflict. All the victims deserve equal official mourning and respect. Further, to single out Armenians for remembrance and Ottoman Muslims for demonization will only encourage hate crimes and other forms of intimidation on United States soil as corroborated by last month’s terrorist indictment of Armenian leader Mourad Topalian whose purported motivation was revenge for
the alleged genocide. The state of Wisconsin should not lend its credibility to an unproven charge against an entire nation nor add incitement to would-be Armenian terrorists. But an official Remembrance Day would do just that. I remain,

Sincerely yours’
Capt. Onur Y. Uranli

“Genocide Lies”:

Once again Armenian lobby is pushing for their point of views in one of our state capitols. Once again they are doing so by using their well established lobbying organization throughout the nation. And once again they are presenting their version of the distorted history. It is absolutely crucial for our politicians to be able to discriminate between truth and fiction before they declare April 24th as the so-called “genocide Remembrance Day” for the Armenians.

Turkish Americans and friends of Turkey do not agree with this fabricated history. The word “genocide” is absolutely a wrong term to describe what has transpired in eastern Anatolia. But we acknowledge that Ottoman Armenians have suffered heavy losses during World War I. The events
that took place are very complex and cannot be solved in state capitols. It can only serve ill-minded politics and can cause harm to the objectivity of history.

It was a war where Ottoman Empire was fighting Western allied powers in the West but also with Czarist Russia in the East. During the Russian campaigns the revolutionary Dashnak and Hunchak Armenian organizations have led inhumane campaigns against their long time neighbors Turks
and Kurds and as a result slaughtered innumerable innocent people all under the protection of occupying Czarist armies. However, when the Russians were forced to pull back Armenian villagers were left behind unprotected. Hence, Turkish and Kurdish citizens of the empire who were literally raped by the brutalities of the Armenian anarchists striked back in vengeance. This led to
the horrors of “blood feud”.

There are in fact official documents created by the Ottoman government which explain that the state ordered and organized an involuntary exodus of Armenians to prevent further bloodshed between the involved groups. At the time it was thought that it would be easier to relocate the minority population of the region, the Armenians. No matter how honorable intentions the Ottomans intended to have this decision actually led to further losses by the Armenians. But again, it was not planned extermination of a nation.

There are absolutely no written documents proven a well calculated so-called genocide of the Ottoman Armenians. The only documents that the Armenian lobby is basing their claim on, the well known Andonian documents are nothing but fabricated documents by French Armenians as
demonstrated by the British Foreign Office. The proponents of the “genocide” are yet to produce irrefutable proof that Turks actually committed genocide.

All the prominent historians well known to Armenian lobbyists unanimously agree that there was no genocide against the Armenian nation. But as usual once these people of conscious make their statement publicly they are being threatened to submission to their silence. These tactics are
not new to the extremists.

The Dashnaks have terrorized Turks and Kurds in the early part of this century. Then more recently they helped to rape and slaughter the Azerbaijanis in the famous Karabagh conflict.

It was only couple of weeks ago when FBI has arrested Mr. Mourad Topalian for his alleged terrorist activities against the Turkish nation. As you know he is a well known Dashnak member and recent president of the major Armenian American lobby, namely ANCA. Again recent news have
illustrated the same Dashnak terrorists have raided the Armenian parliament and killed many elected officials including the prime minister and the speaker of the house to stop the Armenian government from making a concession on the Karabagh issue with the Azerbaijanis.

In short one needs to understand there were massacres that took place on both sides. It was never one-sided tragedy. Thus, the alleged history cannot be claimed as a history of a genocide. Certainly it cannot be even compared to the horrors experienced by the Jewish nation in the first half of this century.

Again, to accept the so-called Armenian genocide will serve only the ill-minded politicians and the aspirations of the terrorist Dashnak organization. While it is absurd to even blame Turkey for the
alleged events (1915) that took place before its birth (1923) it is equally absurd to claim genocide when Turks even have suffered heavier losses than Armenians did as history proves.

You should know that Turkish Americans sympathize with the Armenian survivors of the horrors of eastern Anatolia. But Armenians should do the same for the Turkish and Kurdish survivors, whose voices cannot be heard in this great land of ours.
