Maar als wij omdat wij er heilig van overtuigd zijn dat de holocaust gebeurd is de ontkenning mogen verbieden, kan ik me voorstellen dat Turken die echt niet geloven in de genocide hetzelfde ook zouden willen doen hoor!
Mensen die de Holocaust ontkennen, in ieder geval indien zij voor een bepaalde groep leidende figuren zijn, dienen als oplichter aangepakt te worden. De zaak is te ernstig om schouderophalend af te doen. Geschiedenisvervalsing kan nmm levensgevaarlijke vormen aannemen, vanwege misleiding van de massa.
De Turken met enige opleiding weten drommels goed dat genocide op Arameers en Armeniërs heeft plaatsgehad. Zij zullen de quotes van de 3 Pashas zoals hier vermeld zeker kennen. Ook de Koerden ontkennen de genocide niet. De Turken die het tegendeel beweren, de volkerenmoord ontkennen, omdat zij de heilige overtuiging bezitten, dat nobel turks bloed slechts edele daden pleegt, zijn gehersenspoelde Turks nationalistische stumperds, die van de Pasha geen kwaad willen weten , of zij behoren tot degenen van zeer kwade wil en die geen minderheden verdragen op "hun" bodem.
Voor de staat, die jarenlang ontkend heeft, is het zeer moeilijk, tegen het onmogelijke aan, ineens een andere mening aan zijn onderdanen te verkondigen. Toch zal dat eens en wel zeer spoedig dienen te gebeuren, anders in geen geval in de EU.
Turkije heeft eerder de erkenning van de Armeense en Aramese genocide verboden, dan dat Ned en Belgie de ontkenning van de Shoa strafbaar stelde, ik begrijp daarom je opmerking niet.

"Turkish Quotes
Beginning with multiple quotes from the 3 rulers of wartime Turkey, Cemal Pasha, Enver Pasha and Talat Pasha.
Enver Pasha
One of the triumvirate rulers publicly declared on 19 May 1916...
The Ottoman Empire should be cleaned up of the Armenians and the Lebanese. We have destroyed the former by the sword, we shall destroy the latter through starvation.
In reply to US Ambassador Morgenthau who was deploring the massacres against Armenians and attributing them to irresponsible subalterns and underlings in the distant provinces, Enver's reply was...
You are greatly mistaken. We have this country absolutely under our control. I have no desire to shift the blame onto our underlings and I am entirely willing to accept the responsibility myself for everything that has taken place.
Talat Pasha
In a conversation with Dr. Mordtmann of the German Embassy in June 1915...
Turkey is taking advantage of the war in order to thoroughly liquidate (grundlich aufzaumen) its internal foes, i.e., the indigenous Christians, without being thereby disturbed by foreign intervention.
After the German Ambassador persistently brought up the Armenian question in 1918, Talat said "with a smile"...
What on earth do you want? The question is settled. There are no more Armenians.
Cemal Pasha
To a German officer upon seeing the deportations in Mamure said...
I am ashamed of my nation (Ich schame mich fur meine Nation)
Minister of the Interior of Turkey publicly declared on March 15 that on the basis of computations undertaken by Ministry Experts...
800,000 Armenian deportees were actually killed...by holding the guilty accountable the government is intent on cleansing the bloody past.
Prince Abdul Mecid
Heir-Apparent to the Ottoman Throne, during an interview...
I refer to those awful massacres. They are the greatest stain that has ever disgraced our nation and race. They were entirely the work of Talat and Enver. I heard some days before they began that they were intended. I went to Istanbul and insisted on seeing Enver. I asked him if it was true that they intended to recommence the massacres which had been our shame and disgrace under Abdul Hamid. The only reply I could get from him was: 'It is decided. It is the program.'
Grand Vezir Damad Ferid Pasha
Equivalent rank in the US would be head of the cabinet I think. He described the treatment of the Armenians as...
A crime that drew the revulsion of the entire humankind.
Mustafa Arif
Minister of Interior stated on 13 December 1918...
Surely a few Armenians aided and abetted our enemy, and a few Armenian Deputies committed crimes against the Turkish nation... it is incumbent upon a government to pursue the guilty ones. Unfortunately, our wartime leaders, imbued with a spirit of brigandage, carried out the law of deportation in a manner that could surpass the proclivities of the most bloodthirsty bandits. They decided to exterminate the Armenians, and they did exterminate them. "
Zie de krampachtige bijna aandoenlijke wijze waarop Turkije probeert te ontkennen.
