You wrote: "Not only was this "gentilemen's agreement/harsh confrontation" ignored, but less than forty years later did the Turks begin their campaign of terror and mass murder against the Armenian Christians, followed by the Syrian Christians, Greek and Italian Christians, Nestorians and Jews. This Islamic-Turkish blood lust has yet to end. Turkish murderous riots against the Greek people continue. The unprovoked invasion of Cypress in 1974 against non-moslems. Not to mention the attempt to assasinate the last pope by a moslem

But the question is do we learn anything from history? It has been well known Muslims cannot be trusted. So why do we keep on hoping they will keep their words. Aren't we all doomed to repeat history, unless we learn from it and do something about it !!
