It takes an especially incompetent Walt Disney Company executive to come up with a movie project that enrages both Armenians and Turks alike. That employee should be fired for damaging the coffers as well as the company’s reputation.

Once again, Armenian ultra-nationalists manage to stay on the wrong side of history. Kudos.
Murat, you are on the side of oppressors, dictators, fascists, and those who have committed mass murders, massacres and genocide. You are on the wrong side of history and humanity. Shame!
Atatürk never committed the Armenian Genocide.
Ataturk says:
“Şüphe edilmemek gerekirdi ki, Ermeni katliamı konusundaki sözler gerçeğe uygun değildi. Aksine, güney bölgelerinde, yabancı kuvvetler tarafından silahlandırılan Ermeniler, gördükleri koruyuculuktan cür’et alarak bulundukları yerlerdeki Müslümanlara saldırmakta idiler. İntikam düşüncesiyle her tarafta insafsız bir şekilde öldürme ve yok etme siyaseti gütmekte idiler.
… Canını ve bağımsızlığını korumaktan başka bir şey istemeyen Müslümanlara karşı uygulanan bu kıyım ve yok etme politikası, uygar insanlığın dikkatini çekecek, acıma duygularını uyandıracak nitelikte iken, olayların tam tersini ileri sürmek ve bundan vazgeçilmesini istemek gibi bir davranışa nasıl güvenilebilirdi?” NUTUK-1927
Serpin: If you read my column above, you will see that Ataturk admitted that the Young Turks committed mass murders (genocide) against millions of Turkey’s Christian subjects, including Armenians, Assyrians and Greeks. I also wrote that Ataturk from time to time contradicted himself. You need to do more research on Ataturk’s contradictory statements.
Here is the English translation of what you posted above in Turkish from Ataturk:
“There should be no doubt that the words about the Armenian massacre were not in line with the truth. On the contrary, in the southern regions, the Armenians, armed by the foreign forces, dared to act as a protector and attacked the Muslims in their places. With the idea of revenge, they were pursuing a policy of ruthless killing and destruction everywhere.
… While this policy of slaughter and destruction against Muslims, who wanted nothing more than to protect their lives and independence, was capable of attracting the attention of civilized humanity and arousing feelings of pity, how could it be trusted to assert the opposite of events and demand that it be abandoned?” NUTUK-1927
This is a lie!
No matter how much you put the truth in their face, they will continue to read what they know. It is quite normal for them to ignore the militias that were armed with the support of France and Russia and burned Turkish villages in the middle of Anatolia. They wanted to have a share in the independence cake that swept Europe, but they did not take into account that the Ottomans would not allow this in the Anatolian lands. What comes around goes around. You can not rewrite the history Harut, you dreamed to get back in Ağrı, now you are watching it from your NOWHERE country.
What a rich comment coming from those who stole these so called Turkish lands through multiple genocides.
Do you know that the name “Atatürk” was created by an Armenian-Turkish scholar Hagop Martayan Dilaçar in 1934. He was among the scholars assembled by Atatürk, in Ankara to work on the New Turkish Language(Türk dil kurumu) Atatürk’s signature was also designed by an Armenian-Turkish scientist. Armenians were the most educated citizens at the time.
Armenian Genocide was started by the Young Turks, like Enver Paşa. Atatürk was just a soldier at the time and he didn’t have the authority to stop it. Atatürk WAS NOT A DİCTATOR!!
