The translation is completely wrong… he does not say any of those things nor do the other members of parliament, including the speaker…
Mr. Sassounian, I remember this video when it came out. People were very interested in this video but it was soon realized that a significant portion of the translation doesn’t exist or is manipulated (for fun), however, the essence of the speech is about Kurdish rights in Turkey.
The mentions of kebab, Armenians, him being a dead man, etc.. are entirely made up.
The translations are deliberately incorrect. That’s not what the speaker is saying.
I agree, BS translation. I listened twice, no Armenian or Greeks mentioned.
The Kurds are not our friends, my ancestors were SLAUGHTERED BY KURDS. more Kurds killed Armenians than Turks. Today they claim our ancient lands they claim OUR HOLY MOUNTAIN ARARAT. They have taken western Armenia and now label is “Kurdistan” now since they don’t get along with Turks they suddenly become our friends? No. The places where historically was populated by Armenians is now populated by Kurds. I wonder how that happened. Kurds historically were never in that region. They didn’t live in the Armenian highlands, they are an Iranian people who were always in the Iranian plateau. Now they are tying to claim our lands after committing genocide on us.
When you call Armenians and talk about Armenia, you definitely limit yourself to a specific period of time, I mean just the arrival of Christ. If so, it means before the Christ, this term “armani and Armenians” didn’t exist ,and consequently Armenians didn’t exist and didn’t have any land there. Answer my question?.But according to our sources Armenians were just a flock of Iranian descendants changing their religion from zoroastrian to christian that’s why there were numerous fighting between Iranians and Romans.
I copied the translation from YouTube. I understand that some of the translation was incorrect.
Translations are accurate…you’re just a Turkish bot to spread disinformation.
The Kurds are the most deserving people in history. Compared to the Kurds, the Turks are nothing but cheap terrorists and thieves. As a European who believes in peace, democracy and the rule of law, I am proud to support the heroic PKK against these barbaric ISIS-supporting Mongols. The invasion of Turkey is coming. One looks forward to the day of Erdogan’s end and utter humiliation, live on CNN. It will be like Gadaffi all over again, and we will cheer and laugh at the terror in that little man’s eyes as the rope is placed around his little neck.
