Davutoglu: We Expect Turkish Americans to Counter Armenian, Jewish, Greek Lobbies

NEW YORK (Asbarez/Combined Sources)—Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who has previously stated that the Armenian Diaspora is also the diaspora of Turkey, recently urged Turks living in the United States to fight actively the efforts of the Armenian Diaspora.

Davutoglu, who is attending the 70th Regular Session of the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly in New York City, also met with representatives of Turkish non-governmental organizations in the U.S., reported Agos.

At one such meeting, Davutoglu called on those in attendance to fight against the Armenian, Jewish, Greek, and several other lobbying groups.

Davutoglu also thanked Turkish Americans for holding April 24 rallies supporting Armenian Genocide denial.

On the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session in New York, Davutoglu met with his Belgian counterpart, Charles Michel. The resolution that the Belgian Parliament adopted on the occasion of the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide was high on their agenda, reported Ermenihaber.am, quoting Turkish TRThaber.com.

According to sources, the Belgian prime minister said the bill was of political importance but does not carry with it any legal consequences.

Davutoglu, in turn, expressed his discontent with sanctions against MPs who voted against the bill, referring to former Belgian deputy Mahinur Ozdemir, who is of Turkish descent and was expelled from the Humanist Democratic Centre after refusing to call the 1915 killing of Ottoman Armenians “genocide.”

Davutoglu said he was ready to discuss any issue, including Ozdemir’s expulsion from his party.

  1. Davutoglu really needs to have a reality check. The Genocide of 1915-1923 is one thing but the affronts to human rights that were suffered by the minorities of Turkey for the last one hundred years will be addressed by the Armenian, Greek and Jewish diaspora. So he can mouth off as much as he wants but the following will
    be brought out:
    1) Twenty Categories Conscription
    2) Varlik Vergisi
    3) Istanbul Pogrom Events of September 6-7 1955
    Davutoglu is very persuasive in intimidating but there will come a time when the filthy laundry of Turkey will be on display for all the world to see and it will be sooner than later. I should mention also the illegal occupation of Cyprus.

  2. I think it is clear that this man is propagandist of the worst type. It would be the same as ignorant people living in the south of the United States making a claim that Americans never supported and/or owned slaves. Or people saying that the Holocaust never happened in Germany. I think it is time that the governments of Greece, Armenia, and Israel as well as Great Britain and other government get together and condemn turkey in a unified resolution that would be presented in the United Nations

    • “I think it is clear that this man is propagandist of the worst type” Really? You actually make such a comment on these pages? Amusing.

  3. When the fox can’t reach the grape, says it’s unripe. — One of the meanings of this proverb could be… When one who can’t achieve something downplays it. (Armenian proverb)

  4. “recently urged Turks living in the United States to fight actively the efforts of the Armenian Diaspora.”

    “Davutoglu called on those in attendance to fight against the Armenian, Jewish, Greek, and several other lobbying groups.”

    Speak for yourself dude. Some of us weren’t raised by racists.

  5. Diminishing dhimmi returns. ATAA and the daughters of glorious drunken dear leader have been demanding this of the T Diaspora for decades. Kirlikovali himself slobbered all over Erdogan in NY about five years ago.

  6. Bring it on!

    The Turkish state was powerless on the 100th anniversary to curb the public recognition of the genocide. Even in Turkey, modest events are taking place which would never have been able to take place.

    The coverage I saw in April was mostly positive.

  7. I’m not poking fun at the guy when I say this, but, Mr. Davutoglu, reminds me of a 12 years old boy scout, suffering from male hormone imbalance who thinks, arms control, is some kinda deodorant. That’s my opinion.

  8. First of all, Erdogan and Davutoglu don’t seem to (or want to) understand that, if there had not been a Genocide perpetrated against the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks, there most likely would not have been a worldwide Armenian diaspora. That fact alone proves that there was an AG. Happy, contented people do not leave their homeland in droves. And Anatolia was *Armenian* land for a good 3,000 years.

    Secondly, instead of attempting to foment ethnic discord in other countries, D and E should focus their energies on firmly establishing human rights in Turkey. But I fear that these professional Pan-Turkish megalomaniacal leaders are incapable of this indispensable policy. The biggest losers are the ordinary, decent citizens of Turkey. It’s a genuine tragedy with no good end in sight.

  9. I didn’t know that we weren’t allowed to point out how Jewish organizations have been instrumental in preventing the Armenian Genocide from being recognized in the USA, working hand-in-hand with the Turkish government. Just because there is now a ‘domestic dispute’, it does not mean truth needs to be swept under the carpet.

  10. davutoglu the denier of the truth want’s turks in AMERICA TO REPEAT HIS LIES LIKE PARROTS AND SOME WILL SAY STOP TRYING TO USE US TO SPREAD YOUR LIES WE KNOW WHAT THE REAL TRUTH IS about the Armenian GENOCIDE WHICH tURKEY COMMITED AGAINST IT’S OWN CITIZENS, AND WE REFUSE TO LIE FOR YOU!!! IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING
