\ngovernments have held the Turkish nation and the Turkish
\nRepublic responsible for the bloody
\nArmenian-Turkish conflicts which were incited, particularly by Russia, Britain,
\nFrance and America, in the East and South Anatolian regions
\nduring the final years of the Ottoman
\nState. Further, they have
\nconcurred in the presentation of these events as a \u201cgenocide carried out by the
\nTurks against the Armenians\u201d. Ignoring the requirements of objectivity and
\nconsistency, they have approved parliamentary resolutions to this effect, and
\neven enacted laws punishing those who do not defend this position! Together
\nwith the Armenian government, these Western states close their ears to Turkey\u2019s
\nappeals for proposals to examine the issue in a scientific atmosphere according
\nto objective criteria.<\/p>\n
\nrequirement of international peace and democracy. It is also one of the foundations
\nof the Turkish Republic. As Atat\u00fcrk warned, \u201cWriting
\nhistory is just as important as making history. If the writer is not loyal to
\nthe history-maker, then the unchangeable truth turns into something surprising
\nfor humanity.\u201d With respect to the Armenian genocide allegations, a significant
\nnumber of French scientists last month stressed that it was wrong for the
\nFrench Parliament to convert its political views on historical issues into laws
\nand resolutions, and argued that writing history should be left to researchers.
\nThis statement is pleasing. As a sociologist, I would like to add my own
\nobservations and remarks on the issue – not as rigid assertions, but as
\nsuggestions which are open to criticism.<\/p>\n
\non the part of Ottoman nationals as a result of conflicts of interest among the
\nindustrialised Western states in their search for natural resources and
\nmarkets. The greatest anguish was experienced by the Turkish section of
\nsociety, which had borne most of the burden of the Ottoman State,
\nbut been left out of all progress.<\/p>\n
\nProfessor Justin McCarthy sets out in his research on migration in the region,
\nOttomans of Turkish origin were cast out of homes which they had occupied in
\nRumelia (Southeast Europe) for 500 years.
\nSimilarly, an attempt was made to form a region deprived of Turkish population
\nin the East, in order artificially to create an Armenia. Armenian gangs, set up and
\narmed with the support of the British, Russians and French, launched an
\ninitiative to massacre Turks, including women, the elderly and children, and to
\nforce them to flee the region. The majority of the Armenian population could
\nnot or did not rebel against these murders. However, although attacks on Turks
\nwere successful in the western provinces of the Ottoman State,
\nthey did not succeed in the East. The Ottoman
\nState obliged the population of
\nArmenian origin in this region \u2013 and this region only \u2013 to migrate southward, in
\norder to protect the Turkish population and prevent them from being stabbed in
\nthe back while fighting against Russia.<\/p>\n
\nArmenians in French military uniform were used to attack Turks in Adana, Mara\u015f and Gaziantep.
\nThis made it even more impossible for the Armenians who had been subject to
\ndeportation to return to their homelands upon the foundation of the Republic.
\nIn short, the Armenian people in Eastern Anatolia
\nlost their opportunity to live in peace together with their Turkish neighbors
\nbecause they could not or did not refuse to serve as a vehicle for the
\ninterests of the Western states. They had been present in the region for over a
\nthousand years. They ended their existence in the region by their own hands.<\/p>\n
\npoliticians backed by the political West began to turn the incidents upside
\ndown. Making no mention of the attacks on the Turks, they let it be known that
\nthe Ottoman State and Turkish nation had carried out
\na genocide against the Armenians, just as others had sought to annihilate the
\nJews. The Republic
\nof Turkey had attached
\ngreat importance to preventing the past from poisoning the present, and chosen
\nnot to put the responsibility of the political West for the painful incidents
\nmentioned above onto the international agenda. But this noble policy was
\nregarded as an indication of weakness and used against Turkey as a
\nweapon.<\/p>\n
\nkind of genocide attempt. The inaccuracy of the propaganda has been proven many
\ntimes. Some of the convincing arguments used to debunk the smear campaign are
\nas follows:<\/p>\n
\nWorld War I as a result of the efforts of Enver Pasha and similar state
\nadministrators under the control of Germany. The whole Ottoman Army was
\nunder the direct command of the German generals who constituted the \u201cGerman
\nMilitary Training Council\u201d. Liman von Sanders and Falkenhein are the best-known
\nexamples. If the Ottoman
\nState were to commit
\ngenocide against Armenian nationals, the German government would have ample
\nopportunity to document it. But no such document has been found in the German
\narchives.<\/p>\n
\nAgreement, surrendered the entire administration to the British, French and
\nItalian occupiers. The war criminals were delivered to the courts and exiled to
\nMalta.
\nHowever, although the states which had won the war seized all the archives of
\nthe Ottoman state, they found no proof to indicate that genocide had been
\nimplemented against the Armenians, and they were able to make no such
\nallegation. If any proof had been found in the British, French, Russian and
\nItalian archives up until now, it would have been declared to the whole world
\nmany times over.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nof Independence, the American administration assigned General Mosley and
\nGeneral Harbord to research the Armenian allegations. They stated that there
\nhad been no genocide – only \u201cmutual killings\u201d – and noted that Turks had
\nsuffered the greater losses during the clashes. They did not pass judgement as
\nto who started the killings: had it been the Turks, one doubts whether they
\nwould have remained silent.<\/span><\/p>\n
\ninterests, was opposed to any attack to be launched by Russia on the Ottoman State
\non the pretext of protecting the Armenians from oppression. Britain
\nassigned a Royalty captain to observe the situation on the spot. According to
\nCaptain Peebody\u2019s report, \u2018Five Hundred Miles on Horseback in Asia
\nMinor\u2019, the Armenians were not subject to pressure. Indeed, he
\nfound them to be the most prosperous and richest section of society. However he
\nnoted that they might not be entirely loyal to the Ottoman State.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nattacked their Turkish neighbors in French uniforms in the Adana-Mara\u015f region.
\nSubsequently, French Prime Minister Clemenceau did not refrain from arguing
\nthat the Armenians had nobody to blame but themselves.<\/p>\n
\ngenocide were never voiced during the time of Atat\u00fcrk. Turkey received a special invitation to join the
\nLeague of Nations, and not a word was said
\nabout the allegations.<\/p>\n
\nsubjected to genocide in Turkey, the hundreds of Jews who escaped from Nazi
\nGermany, like the German scientists, artists and intellectuals who revolted
\nagainst the regime, would not have wanted to live in Atat\u00fcrk\u2019s Turkey rather
\nthan the US, Switzerland or Canada. They would not have felt that they could
\nlive in a fully free atmosphere in Turkey.<\/p>\n
\nthe Armenians as its \u2018Teb\u2019a-i sad\u0131ka\u2019 \u2013 or most loyal citizens. For many
\ngenerations, the palace architects (such as the Balyan family) had been chosen
\nfrom among the Armenians, and Armenians had been appointed to the highest
\nofficial positions. The Armenians had become very close to the Turks in every
\naspect of culture. They printed books in Turkish using the Armenian alphabet
\nand widely spoke Turkish even in their homes.<\/p>\n
\nin many countries throughout the world frequently speak Turkish in their homes
\nand among themselves. If they had been obliged to emigrate due to genocide in Anatolia, which was their homeland for thousands of
\nyears, they would scarcely want to continue speaking Turkish.<\/p>\n
\nnation can follow is to possess a contemporary culture. A democratic
\nadministration, freedom in philosophy, science and arts, an economy based on
\nadvanced industry and technology, and a developed written language provide a
\nnation with the greatest possible security. However, following World War II,
\nTurkish politicians failed to pursue the enlightening revolutions which Atat\u00fcrk
\nhad begun. They sought easy ways of staying in power and served selfish
\ninterests, leaving the vast rural population largely uneducated, and weakening
\nthe Republic. In these circumstances, the political West, which has yet to
\ncondemn colonialism, renewed its attacks on the Turkish
\nRepublic and the Turkish nation, so as
\nto prevent the Atat\u00fcrk model from becoming an example for the Islamic world and
\nthe exploited nations, and to reduce Turkey to the level of a colony
\nonce again. This was done sometimes under the guide of assistance; sometimes
\nwith the aid of ignorant and\/or self-seeking writers and academics, Turkish or
\nforeign. The Armenian genocide allegations have to be seen in this context.<\/p>\n
\nslanders and prevent their use as blackmail for the achievement of political
\nand economic goals vis-a-vis Turkey, Turkish governments must express the
\nabove-mentioned facts with a loud voice, and make quite clear that the behaviour
\nof governments which put this issue before their parliaments, raise it on
\ninternational platforms or enact laws infringing the freedom of thought and
\nforbidding any questioning of the genocide allegations will be regarded as
\nhostile and will meet with an appropriate response.<\/p>\n
\nthe above observation that Turkey
\nneeds strong, democratic \u00a0governments conscious of their accountability to
\nthe nation. Officials outside and inside the country should be appointed not on
\npartisan lines but among people who are capable of safeguarding the nation\u2019s
\ninterests. And academics and intellectuals should lend their support within an
\nunderstanding of democratic citizenship.<\/p>\n
