Few words from a Turk

Submitted by a guy (Turkey), Mar 5, 2010 at 20:07

Hello Mr.Writter.

I'm a Turk and i know Turks have a bloody history.But Ataturk was trying to change this.He knows one party system was wrong and tried to create more party.One of them was created by one of his best friends "Kazım Karabekir".But party become a "Fans of Religionism Party".His best friend organized an assassination in izmir to kill Ataturk.Then party is closed.And created one more, this become religionist/fascist and this is failed too.And didnt wanted to try again, cuz he saw whats happened.And he was a real "Socialist" who brought turkey democracy.He was a freedom fighter.

And one more thing, armenian genocide is a lie.I cant say anything to others you wrote.They're mostly right.We did so many wrongs.And still doing wrongs.But all of Turks are not same.Some of us are really humanists.Ataturk was one of them.Please read a little more about Ataturk.

Thanks for your time.
