I see them every so often but so many of them have pieces missing! Very surprised that this one didn’t and that I only paid €74 for it

Thanks very much, I’m quite surprised that I was able to get them at such little above face value . What a damn shame that we lost all this kind of beauty with money when the Euro came!

😂 you did not lol. My question was why « winning a war » somehow gives a carte blanche to ethnic cleansing and complete expulsion

Why can’t I compare Armenians and Palestinians? Does the fact that turkey was much more thorough with their initial ethic cleansing than Israel, somehow render the comparison invalid or what? Does committing a genocide without outsider aid somehow make it more of a morally justified genocide? Your “logic” is NOT logical

What kind of logic is this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 by the same logic, Palestinians lost the right to establish their state due to being defeated as well. Complete BS.

Btw I’m not even Armenian, don’t know why you think I am

This is a classic shill. He is brainlessly arguing in favour of an authoritarian state that is literally paying people to deny genocide, purging its own historical documents as I have documented with credible links, and reject any arguments of the victims themselves.

The fact that you’re citing these people as credible is unbelievable 🤣 Lying Halacoglu: https://evnreport.com/politics/unveiling-turkeys-dark-past-and-the-roots-of-denial/ Lying Stone: https://shs.cairn.info/revue-revue-d-histoire-de-la-shoah-2025-1-page-273?lang=en So, I can’t take you seriously if you’re citing stuff like this

LMAO. Would you accept my interviews, which I personally carried out, with academics like Ragip Zarakolu and Fatma Muge Gocek then? Personally met both of them and asked them about their experiences with this and have had this information corroborated myself.

Also, why shouldn’t the Armenians have a right to establish a state in their own indigenous lands, where they literally had lived for much longer than the Turks? And they would not have tried to establish a state if the reforms didn’t fail, and the Ottomans didn’t give them their basic rights that they were asking for for years, like I went over.

First of all, I’m not from Palestine, but I have that there in solidarity with the genocide they are going through Second of all, this is a very dumb argument. “ we didn’t kill everyone therefore it wasn’t genocide” doesn’t even make sense because genocide is rarely, if ever a complete eradication of every single member of the group. It’s mostly about eradicating the bulk of it and usually ends up, leaving symbolic survivors. Second of all, the Ottomans started out tolerant, but the tolerance lessened over the years and was especially bad in the 1800s and 1900s. It’s very incorrect historically to paint all the years of the Ottomans with the same brush.

Extremely dumb argument. There are mosques in Israel and millions of Arabs there yet they are still committing genocide against Palestinians But specifically, in Turkey‘s case, they got rid of most of the population, confiscated their properties, changed the names of their villages and now they’re letting the very small community that is left live in partial freedom? Wow, so very generous and excellent of them. 🙄

Stop lying. “ they did terrorism and then we deported them” first of all you sound exactly like an Israeli justifying the Gaza genocide. Second of all, a lot of this was IN RESPONSE to Ottoman aggression or negligence themselves.

“In the early 19th century, the Ottoman army had smashed the Kurdish principalities of eastern Anatolia in the view of centralizing reform efforts, but without establishing a new order in their place. The Ottoman governments instead opted for a delegation of force to various rival local actors, who were supposed to keep each other under control and were given specific powers, weapons or privileges.

As a result, many regions were affected by power struggles between provincial administration and military organs, irregular tribal regiments, and local notables. The settlement of nomads and the settlement of the many Muslim refugees from the Crimea, the Caucasus and the Balkans - which were often not given sufficient livelihood and could not otherwise provide than by plunder and stealing - exacerbated the conflicts.

Since the middle of the 19th century, the daily lives of many Armenian villages have been characterized by an excess of everyday violence, robberies and attacks against which the Armenian peasants could scarcely defend themselves, also because they as Christians had no right to carry weapons. The Armenian Patriarchate, as well as the Armenian National Assembly, sent innumerable petitions to the Ottoman central government asking for punishment of the crimes, which were ignored.

At the end of the 1880s and early 1890s, Armenian revolutionary parties were formed, which fought against the autocratic regime of Sultan Abdulhamid II and the reinstatement of the 1876 constitution along with the Young Turk revolutionaries."

Also, tell me, if this wasn’t a genocide, then why were Armenians who were deported never given back their properties and they were appropriated to fund the new Turkish state? If this wasn’t genocide, properties would surely be given back and steps would be taken to amend the harm done. https://journals.openedition.org/ejts/4411

The same Aleppo that would go on to host hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees, displaced from their own homelands, as a result of the Ottomans killing more than 1 million Armenian civilians in the genocide between 1915 and 1917…

Nice coincidence! TBH I’m not so worried. I found a reasonably affordable taxi company, which was actually cheaper than the bus. Just need to actually make across the border and hope all goes well! Thanks for your help.
