Inciting Hatred: Turkish Protesters Call Armenians ‘Bastards’

'You are all bastards," reads a placard at anti-Armenian demonstration

‘Mount Ararat will Become Your Grave’ Chant Turkish Students

ISTANBUL—International news agencies reported that 20,000 to 50,000 people participated in the anti-Armenian protests over the weekend, with professionally printed signs that read, “You are all Armenians, You are all bastards,” and “Today Taksim, Tomorrow Yerevan: We will descend upon you suddenly in the night.” Among the speakers at the demonstration in Turkey’s famous Taksim Square was Turkish Interior Minister Idris Naim Sahin, among other leaders of Erdogan’s AK Party.

According to statements issued by the protest organizers, similar demonstrations have been planned in more than 50 cities in Turkey.

The Armenian National Committee of America, sharply criticizing the government-sanctioned anti-Armenian demonstrations held throughout Turkey on Feb. 26, called on U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Francis Ricciardone to forcefully condemn this latest attempt by Ankara to foment hatred and violence against Armenians.

“Today’s anti-Armenian demonstrations in the streets of Istanbul—with the interior minister and prominent political parties at the helm—were clearly aimed at inciting increased racism and renewed violence against Turkey’s own Armenian citizens and neighboring Armenia,” stated ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. “These are not simply the violent echoes of a post-genocidal state, but the determined actions of a pre-genocidal Turkish society that is angrily lashing out at its imagined enemies and seeking out its next target. We urge U.S. Ambassador Ricciardone to immediately, forcefully, and publicly condemn this government-sanctioned incitement to violence.”

More photographs have emerged on Feb. 28 from different cities in Turkey, including one from an event at the Suleyman Demirel University in Isparta, where students chanted “Mount Ararat will become your grave” and other racist slogans, according to the Turkish daily newspaper Radikal.

I just hope our beloved Armenian government has some secret weapons at works to annihilate the Turkish army in case they really attack Yerevan.

    What do you expect from a bunch of Turks? Their brain is still stuck in the dark ages. Anyone who thinks that Turks have changed should have their bloody brain examined.! Incidently….why haven’t the leaders in the so called “free world” expressed any thoughts of how to protect the human rights of Armenians in Turkey? Oh…silly me…they are more concerned with “saving” the Arabs from their own governments. What is Hillary Clinton’s take on this? or is shee too busy meddling in Syria now?

    Ironic isn’t it that the turks are so upset with Armenians concerning the issue of the turks’ mass murder and ethnic cleansing of the Armenians in 1915 that now they wish to invade Armenia and murder its entire population for said affront. A turk will always be a turk. If the Armenian genocide of 1915 is not acknowledged and punished by the world, another genocide of the Armenians will happen again. The turks are truly a barbarous people.

    Make no mistake – these people are the equivalent of KKK in the USA. They are minority in Turkey and have no place in Turkish society. Remember the Turkish March in Taksim Square when Harant Dink was killed? There were thousand times more people compared to these mad racist skin heads… Peace.

    From this site:

    http://www.topix.com/forum/world/germany/TSESUDG3VTUS2BEFC

    Here is something about Turkey:

    1 Want to know a few things and facts about Turkey?

    Modern Turkey is nothing of what Turkey used to be, after stealing culture form every nation, Turkey transformed to a transvestite hard to be identified of what it is.

    But deep inside, Turkey remains a transvestite.

    Turkey is a nation that promotes propaganda, false and incorrect historical and cultural information in order to gain some glance for its self.

    Glance, that never was able to posses due to the fact that Turkish culture and civilization had never achieved anything to distinguish or anything remarkable.

    Someone can easily spot a few Turkish “copy paste” or borrowed customs and trademarks. Some of these are:

    The Turkish flag is a symbol stolen from the Greeks, the Byzantine empire! The Turkish currency, the Turkish pound, was invented by the British.

    The modern Turkish writing, stolen by Turks, directly from the European countries that used to occupy Turkey, France, Italy, England Greece etc…

    Turks use to write Arabic, as their mother tongue has Arabic origins.

    The modern dress and look of Turkey stolen by the West, Turks used to wear Arabic clothes till the 1900s! Turkish cousin and food, stolen by Armenia, Kurdistan, Syria and Egypt! The Turkish modern art, stolen from Italy, Greece, France and Spain! Turkish monuments, there is none! All Turkey has to show, is Agia Sofia and Greek temples and monuments! Ephesus, Miletus, Troy, Halicarnassus, Trabzon, Sinop, Smyrna, Antalya, Adana,Edessa, Mesopotamia,Elaea (Aeolis), Epibates,Ermenek,E rythrae,Eski sehir, Faustinopolis,Anti ochia, Lydia, Heraclea Pontica, Ceramus,Mallus,,Ma nisa,Mersin, Pergamon, Pessinus, Phellus, Phocaea and many others, are Ancient Greek cities with Greek monuments! Even the Mountain Ararat, was stolen from the Armenians!

    The Turks today are a mix of Armenians, Serbians, Greeks, and Kurds etc. Turks were mixed in a huge portion during the Ottoman Empire when they needed vast numbers of men to serve the army.

    Then, they started a program of child, youth male collection from the above nations, to use them as Janissary. Janissaries were the best Turkish military force ever, and it was not even Turkish! These soldiers were the elite of the Turkish community and were the only units allowed and promoted to mate and produce children, capable as them!

    That had as a result, the vast majority of Turks today to be consisted by Armenians, Greeks and Serbs! Even the Ottoman Empire was not Turkish, it starts as an Arabic effort to unite the Arabic nomads of the area. It was consisted by Egyptians, Syrians, Bedouins, Persians and others.

    Somewhere there, in the mid 1200s Mongol tribes that were driven out by the Hans, come to the area, and mixes with the Arabic nomads.

    These mixes form the Turkic branch of Mongols. The Turkish lands are not even Turkish! Mosul and Hatay belong to Syria and are occupied illegally, Eastern Turkey belongs to Kurdistan, Eastern Thrace with the Islands Imbros and Tenedos belong to Greece, Northern Cyprus is occupied illegally, Ararat and parts of Eastern Turkey belong to Armenia. Constantinople ( Istanbul ) is occupied illegally as well.

    Turkey doesn’t belong in Europe, but Turks claim that they do not belong to Asia either! Turkey is a modern fine transvestite!

    Turkey today calims that they have a Democracy (today there is a military regime that rules Turkey), even that was stollen form the West, Greece! And there is much more….

    Turkey, like all other places in the world, has good people and bad people. There are many Turks who know what their forefathers have done and feel remorse and shame. Don’t mistake the desperate, misguided, evil people planning and implementing these protests as being representative of all Turks. God created the world round for a reason, and all will come full circle in due time. When it does, Turkey will have to face what it’s predecessors have done.

    I am disgusted with the vile racism against Turkish people shown by many of those contributing towards the discussion policy. Turks are just like any other people from around the world, there are extremely nice Turks, bad Turks and indifferent Turks. I have to say that most of the Turkish people I have met have shown themselves to be very polite and pleasant people. What happened to the Armenian people during the First World War was appalling but let us not forget that many Turkish civilians were brutally killed by Armenian irregulars. Also, we must remember that the Turks were hardly alone in committing atrocities against other people. 10 million people died in the Congo as a result of King Leopold’s brutal exploitation of that region. We don’t continue to denounce Belgians as all being barbaric bloodthirsty savages because of this and nor should we. To go on hating the Turkish people because of events that happened almost a century ago is childish. As a British person, I don’t hate German or Japanese people because of what happened in the Second World War. People need to grow up a bit and stop hating others solely on the basis of their nationality.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
