Even Mehemt II al-ghazi was half Armenian!

>Dhimi No More's take on who the Turks are is simplistic. In Turkey you meet many who are ethnically Turkish right back to Central Asian roots, and many who are converts to Islam or to Turkishness, from Balkan, Cretan, Circasian, Jewish Kurdish and Arab roots, as well as Syrian, Armenian and Greek

I'm not saying that you will not find Turks in Turkey whose ancestors came from Central Asia but what I'm saying is that today's Turks are the decendants of the Turkish invaders and the Greeks and the Armenians and the Syrians that were brutalized by Turkey and Muslim Turks and that islam in Turkey is no more than another way for those delusional Turks to distance themselves from their past

Otherwise how can you explain the crime of the Armenian Genocide and the denial of such crime by the likes of Havas the propagandist? I do believe that it was self hate and a way for the Turks to detach themselves from who they really are

A good start for Turkey would be to admit that the Armenian Genocide was a real crime but would this ever happen? I doubt it very much
