      THANK YOU. It mocks Armenians, assyrians and greeks because during the 1915 genocide all those three groups killed off from their region and displaced from their homes by the Ottoman empire and the young turks. That's how Turkey came to be this huge country, it's occupied Western Armenia, northern Assyria, Eastern greek as well as northern Kurdistan.

      @@Sheaiskl That is exactly what they are saying. couple of days ago serj Tankian wrote an instagram post saying "...ottoman t*rks.." . Of course he quickly fixed it to "Ottoman Empire" . But the collective aim is trying to associate n*zi with turk. Thats why instead of using the party name " Union and Progress Party" they are deliberately using english version of anti-monarcy (anti-Sultan Abdulhamit II) liberative rebellious movement name of "Jeunes Turcs". Even in Turkish, we use the French version. In Turkish when some says "genc türkler" everybody will understand like turkish people who are young and rebel...etc. But if you say "jön türkler" they first thinks poets and writers like Namik Kemal, Ziya Gokalp, Ali Suavi..etc and after years this movement centralized under CUP, and later UPP.
      The think they are doing is criminalizing an ethnic group (Turk), supporting “collective guilt” which is unconstitutional, violates Americans’ 1st amendment rights.

    So... Ana's working for a company called the "The Young Turks", which was founded by a Turkish man who was so proud of his Turkish history and heritage that it inspired him to select the name of his organization. Unsurprisingly this man originally denied the Armenian genocide, later to change his mind but not change the name of the group, but to show he "cares" he hires an Armenian token. That would be like the modern KKK hiring a single black person with the effort to basically rebrand and reimage.

After which it came out and was given focus and in turn Cenk came up with the weakest response ever. Which more or less, and I a am not kidding, sounded like someone who denied the holocaust. After that he was over time from hes own given so much shit that he eventually changed hes stance in ONE clear video. Since that video it hasnt been explained well, but maybe mentioned in a quick jab a few times.
      So the "one hundredth time" is not factual tbh.
      Has Cenk changed hes stance? Yes
      Did Cenk change hes stance because hes running? No, he changed it a year or so ago, I think.

    He said he named the show"The Young Turks" because that is a term for people with radical progressive thought and that it had nothing to do with the Armenian Genocide Young Turks, but as he just admitted, when he started his show he was a conservative republican, so why would a conservative republican name his show after a term for progressives?
    Why didn't she ask him about the celebrity camel toe segment? Probably because she was a part of it. How about his bestiality is okay if the animal finishes comment? He said he was not serious,it was a joke, but when he originally said it and the people in the studio laughed, he said I don't understand why you are laughing. Usually when someone is making a joke and people laugh, the joke teller doesn't say" why are you laughing?

    When I was in elementary school, I learned about the Armenian Genocide, on account that one of my favorite painters fled Armenia during that time (sadly, many of his relatives were killed in the genocide). His name was Arshile Gorky. To this day, I have not seen a book about the Armenian Genocide in any school, including college. The U.S. Government still wants to protect interests, and not acknowledge it, which is wrong! We need to learn from these atrocities!

      Warren Davis even the Turkish government acknowledges the victims, just not the number the Armenian lobby pushes (which can be proven with documents and theories). It’s genocide refusal. During the fall of the Ottoman empire many muslims were murdered, like in 1821 when Greeks murdered the muslims of Peloponesse. Many of these muslims were actually simply converted greeks. Nobody calls these genocides on muslims genocide, but refers to them as freedom fights, however when Turks prevent armenians from stealing land that had been 900 years under our control it’s suddenly genocide. No, if greeks can murder muslim civilians to take land, then muslims can do the same to defend it. It’s called WAR. It weren’t even Turks who killed the armenians but mostly kurds, hence this region is now inhabited by kurds mostly.

I recall being 15, watching a late night show about the USSRs missiles and writing to Sen. Helms to urge him to increase the US's defense budget so we could catch up to them in missiles. I also had some political positions in college that I'm still proud of to this day, but it could have easily gone the other way had I been exposed to different people at that time.
