Letter: AK Party Founding Member’s Statement Hypocritical
Dear Editor,
Regarding your article, “AK Party Founding Member Apologizes for Deportations” (Armenian Weekly, April 28, 2012): It was unbelievable that such a hypocritical statement was made. The hypocrisy stems from Ysmet Uema’s comment that if Turkey wanted to commit genocide against the Armenians, they would have employed methods that the Americans used against Native Americans. He is accusing the United States of genocide against Native Americans. Why should our politicians, includi




The United States, Great Britain and Israel have consistently denied the genocide.
Who needs their “recognition”? Who recognizes them? Who are they…God?
The whole world knows that the anglo-Americans and AIPAC think the Armenians are a “diminishing” and “dying” race. The anglo-saxons subscribe to the old adage: “survival of the fittest”. The Turks survived and the Armenians are anything but the “fittest”. We missed the boat. Here it is, the 100th Anniversary is almost upon us….and we’ve done nothing. I, among others, have been hollering out that the Turks have allotted millions of dollars toward films, books, pamph-lets, programs, campaigns, demonstrations, “gentle Turk” agents…etc. The Armenians are counting nickels and dimes…and expect that corrupt, money grubbing politicians are going to “recognize” a Genocide? “RECOGNIZE”???….what on earth does that mean?????
