This is done by signs, blogs, letters, talks, films, panels, exhibitions, indoctrination summer camps, and\/or a combination of these and other vehicles.  Why?<\/p>\n<p>If the Armenian claims are so truth, so watertight, so slam dunk, why such passionate, radical, sometimes even fanatic behavior, which is known in the past, to have led to Armenian terrorism victimizing ordinary citizens?  <\/p>\n<p>Do you see the Irish going around and bombing British facilities to have the potato famine acknowledged?  <\/p>\n<p>Do you see the Jews going around and bombing German installations to have the Holocaust recognized?<\/p>\n<p>Do you see Japanese bombing American owned buildings to have the Japanese internment admitted?  <\/p>\n<p>What is wrong with Armenians?  Especially those who still revere Armenian terrorists (like the notorious Lisbon Five ?)  <\/p>\n<p>And those who never condemn Armenian terrorism of the past 40+ years victimizing 70+ innocent men, women, and children, mostly of Turkish heritage, but some non-Turkish ones, too?<\/p>\n<p>ARMENIAN HYPOCRISY IN SUPPORTING TERRORISM<\/p>\n<p>What can one say in the face of an incredible hypocrisy that while all Armenians mourn the assassination of Hrant Dink in 2007 by a Turkish teenager, no Armenian will remember, much less mourn, the assassination in 1982 of the Turkish consul general, Kemal Arikan, by an Armenian teenager?  Both victims were 52 years old, married, had teenage daughters, and killed by a teenager filled with hate by his elders.  Why this double standard in the Armenian community?  Why would they now acknowledge, much less condemn, more than 2000 acts of terrorism committed by brainwashed and fanatic Armenian youth?<\/p>\n<p>Armenian love to hate all things Turkish. So much so, that they even falsify the record of one of the most accomplished Turkish historians, Prof. Esat Uras, the founder of Turkish Armenianology.  His 1000+ plus book \u201cArmenians in History and The Armenian Question\u201d still shines the brightest light into a dark  chapter of history that is the Turkish-Armenian conflict.   You know what Armenian propagandists call him?  Pan-Turkish ideology and former Turkish secret service agent.  Give me a break!<\/p>\n<p>If it were this simple to defame a man\u2019s personality, character, and lifelong career, then the Armenian lobby would have nothing to do today, as there is not anyone in the contra-genocide camp, yours truly included, that the Armenian did not call Turkish government agent, someone paid by Turkish interests, lobbyist, propagandist, or similar.  Such intimidation, harassment, and even veiled threats by Armenians, though, only help create only a bitter smile on our faces and more research, publications, and public education in return.  <\/p>\n<p>Why do Armenian attack the doyen of Turkish historians, Prof. Esat Uras, so viciously?  Because of many of his books?  Yes.  But perhaps more for what he wrote about Armenia and the Armenian identity:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArmenia cannot be anything other than simple memory based on geography, a region without political boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>IS ARMENIAN HISTORY MOSTLY PROPAGANDA MADE IN GLENDALE ?The <\/p>\n<p>Armenians prefer to call mountainous eastern Anatolia Armenia but they only lived there, scattered over a very wide territory and were always a small minority in the areas they lived.  If communities can claim the right to every place they lived, then there would be thousands of countries as members of the United Nations today. Can Armenians claim California as their own just because they number 20% of Glendale and 10% of Fresno?  Or Massachusetts because 5 % of some town there is Armenian?  <\/p>\n<p>Armenians were also furious with what Center for Strategic Research, a think tank in Ankara that is similar to Hudson Institute in Washington DC, wrote in \u201cArmenian Claims &amp; Historical Facts\u201d:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is certain that the Armenians did not originate in Armenia (Eastern Anatolia highlands) not did they live there for three to four thousand years as claimed.  They put forward these ideas merely to support their claim that the Turks drove them out of a homeland in which they lived for thousands of years.  But these claims cannot stand up the facts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Armenians still think they can humiliate Turks and destroy Turkish history with falsifications, fabrications, and deception.    They still think they can implement an apartheid on Turkish soil, where a tiny minority would be allowed (by the powers east and west) to rule over a majority of non-Armenians.  They still think they can pressure, harass, and eventually destroy Turkey.  Then again, Armenians are not exactly known for their sound thinking.  They also think that a tail can wag the dog.  <\/p>\n<p>The most shocking of all is that some American institutions of higher education would allow themselves to become a vehicle used by directly\/indirectly-paid-Armenian-agents and\/or direct\/indirect beneficiaries of the Armenian-financed-genocide-industry (Akcam, Gocek, et.al.) to promote Armenian version of history.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026Armenians further claim that they were the people of Urartu which existed in Anatolia starting about 3000 BC.  This claim has no basis in fact.  No form of the name Armenian was found in any inscription in Anatolia dating from that period, nor was any similarity at all between the Armenian language and that of Urartu, the former being a satem group of Indo-European languages while the latter was similar to Ural-Altaic languages.  Nor were there any similarities between their cultures.  There is, therefore, absolutely no evidence at all to support the claim that the people of Urartu were Armenian\u2026\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Source:  \u201cArmenian Claims &amp; Historical Facts\u201d, Center for Strategic Research, Ankara (A think-tank like Hudson Institute in Washington DC.)<\/p>\n<p>ARMENIAN NARRATIVES ARE PARTI PRIS, SELECTIVE, AND UNTRUSTWORTHY<\/p>\n<p>So,  much of poses to be serious writings in academic journals about modern Armenian history, produced by academics like C.J. Walker, well known for his passionate support of the Armenian cause, are parti pris, discriminatory, and unreliable.  <\/p>\n<p>It is the Armenian-financed and\/or supported genocide scholars who have an interest in cover up, distortion, secretive reviewing of data, falsification, fabrication, and deception, and who do not seek to discover or explain the situation as it really was.    <\/p>\n<p>The Karabagh territory historically belongs to Azerbaijan.  Armenians relocated there by Tsarist Russia in accordance with the long standing Russian policy of substitution of Muslims of Caucasus (by killing or expelling) by reliable elements (Armenians and others.)  <\/p>\n<p>Armenians are newcomers and colonists even in the eastern Anatolian highlands.  The ancestors of Armenians arrived there in the 6th century BC and actually destroyed the Urartians.  The three so called 5th century historians, Buzand, Khorten, and Yeghiske, are non-existent and the works attributed to them are non-credible para-historic texts.<\/p>\n<p>Armenian propagandists are busy defaming and demonizing the Turkish identity, promoting the false Armeniological school, which corrupts and distorts Turkish history in accordance with the Armenian designs.  <\/p>\n<p>SEVEN ARMENIAN OR ARMENOPHILE SCHOLARS IN TROUBLE <\/p>\n<p>Armenians are so intolerant to dissent and responsible opposing views that if you do not tow the official Armenian  party line in telling the Armenian history,  you will be declared an enemy of the Armenians even if your career is spent in appeasing them.  If you don\u2019t believe me, ask these scholars:  Nina G. Garsoian, Ronald Grigor Suny, Robert W. Thomson, Richard G. Hovannisian, James R. Russel, Peter S. Cowe, Alina Ayvazian, Simon Payaslian, and others.  <\/p>\n<p>Can you believe the Armenian fanatics?  These seven scholars spent a life time trying to appease the Armenian propagandists but just because they question the  Armenian identity or homelands, they were \u201cnixed\u201d.  If I were any one of these seven scholars, I would definitely avoid Armenian functions in the next\u2026 uh\u2026 195 years.  Armenian fanatics are in no mood to see any of these seven scholars or the scholars will \u201cget it\u201d.  The Armenian hoodlums made derogatory videos about them and posted them in youtube.  These seven scholars are \u201cshish kebab\u201d now as far as the Armenian thugs are concerned.  You see what I mean?  <\/p>\n<p>Ronald Grigor Suny is the holder of the first Alex Manoogian chair in Modern Armenian History in the Univ. of Michigan.  In other words, he is as \u201cpartyline\u201d  as you can possibly get to the Armenian version of history.  In his book \u201cLooking Towards Ararat:  Armenians in Modern History\u201d , 1993, page 4-5, he writes this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The national consciousness of Armenians about their identity is nothing but a collection of beliefs&#8230;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now if I say this, Armenians falsifiers and their Turk-hating stooges are quick to label me Turkish-government agent, paid-lobbysist, genocide denier, blah\u2026blah\u2026blah\u2026  But look who is saying it?  <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s continue with the writings of this Armenian-propagandist-turned-instant-Armenian-enemy:  <\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The present Armenian people are a product of natural intermingling of different ethnic groups\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>The ancestors of Armenians were invaders of  Armenian (eastern Anatolian) highlands who have migrated to Armenia in the 6th century BC\u2026\u201d  <\/p>\n<p>Source:  Same book, page 7.  Wow!<\/p>\n<p>Again, if I uttered these words, columnists kissing Armenian (you know what) would walk all over each other to call me names.  Sorry to disappoint them but one cannot argue with facts, can one?<\/p>\n<p>Fasten your seatbelts for this one:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The Armenian-Turkish conflict was provoked by the Armenian nationalists in order to overtake Turkish Anatolia and the Turkish side simply reacted\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source:  Ronald Grigor Suny, \u201cNation Making, Nation Breaking: The End of the Ottoman Empire and the Armenian Community\u201d, 1996, page 3.  <\/p>\n<p>Forgive me, your honor, you majesty, your high and mighty genocide scholar of the 17th order, but isn\u2019t that exactly what I have been writing all these years?  If what I was subjected to by the Armenian falsifiers and Turk-haters is any indication, then this poor Ronald Grigor Suny is in serious trouble.  Who knows, Armenian terrorists might bomb his house, too, just like they did UCLA\u2019s Prof. Stanford Shaw\u2019s house in 1977 for saying the same things.  Ah, but in those days, who knows, people like you, Ronald Grigor Suny, ridiculed Prof Stanford Shaw and ignored his freedom of speech, didn\u2019t you?  <\/p>\n<p>Well, what do you know, now you are in the same spot as Prof Stanford Shaw was in 1977!  You are not exactly a (so called) genocide denier, but you deny worse:  you deny Armenian identity and homeland.  (Don\u2019t you love it? Does this thing get any better than this?)<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there is this:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026The Turkic-Azeris are the direct descendants of the Caucasian Albanians and the territory of Karabakh historically belonged to (Azeris)\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source:  Ronald Grigor Suny, \u201cLooking Towards Ararat:  Armenians in Modern History\u201d , 1993, page 193<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Ronald Grigor Suny, the Armenian-propagandist-turned-instant-Armenian-enemy.
