But one thing the Turkish-American celebrity doesnt be anyone toknow is that he operates one of the most vicious dislike websites in theInternet - TallArmenianTale com. Disguised under Holdwater, Gumen hasbeen hatefully denying the Armenian Genocide - the murder of OttomanTurkeys native Armenian population during World War I. His tacticshave included dehumanizing respected scholars of the Armenian Genocidein request to discredit their work. When there is nothing else to writeto prove his thesis. Mr. Gumen writes that Armenians are rats.
Itoo am among Holdwaters priority targets. He leads the campaignagainst me along with institutions such as the Assembly of AmericanTurkish Associations (ATAA) and the Turkish Forum. He publishesarticles on his place which claim that I am a terrorist; that I amresponsible of the death of Americans in Turkey ; and change surface that I haveplanned and organized murders of American civilians. He lists myterrorist activities from the years 1974 to 1975 including precisedates and locations. These be to nothing more than ordinary,small-scale arrests during student demonstrations of the era whichdidnt even make the touch at the time. [See A Shameful race,
United States Holocaust Memorial Council Office of the Director June 2. 1980 Your letter to President Carter of April 2. 1980 has been forwarded to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council for response. The Presidents assign to the Holocaust Memorial Council is by definition to commemorate the Holocaust. Nevertheless it has been recognized by everyone involved that the significance of the Holocaust and its lessons are universal. In that believe there certainly has been an intention to make appropriate reference to other acts of genocide in this century including the annihilation of one and one-half million Armenians in 1915-1916. Many of us are familiar with the writings of Henry Morganthau. Sr.. Viscount Bryce. Arnold Toynbee. Winston Churchill and Irvin Horowitz all attesting to a deliberate policy of genocide against the Armenian people. Moreover. I am not familiar with contradictory studies by authorities of similar stature. I would be extremely grateful therefore if you would displace me references to sources that you think would be helpful. I can affirm you that any suggestions you make will be given appropriate attention. convey you very much for your interest in Holocaust Memorial Council. Sincerely yours. Monroe H. Freedman Suite 832. 425 13th Street. NW Washington. DC 20004
Dear Mr. Freedman: The Genocide Seminar bind in the June 22nd N. Y. Times surprised me. In a letter dated June 2. 1980 you asked me to send references of a contradictory nature to the overwhelmingly numerous sources you had on hand supporting Armenian claims. I complied in a earn dated Sept. 5. 1980. I found it strange that up to mid-1980 at least there was no effort made to investigate the other side of the story. It implied acceptance on the part of the Holocaust Memorial Council of Armenian allegations without much question revealing a prejudice. At least you showed open-mindedness by approaching me but I can only cerebrate it was half-hearted. If efforts to find the truth were genuine authoritative sources could easily have been found well before contacting an individual who does not usually get involved with such matters. According to this bind the council has decided to accept the Armenian genocide. When I told my father that Ive been asked by you to supply clues to the other align of the story," he well knowing of the slanted representation here against Turks. Moslems. Third World peoples and what-have-you cynically told me it wouldnt do any good. Boy was he right! The Armenian claims seem to undergo been accepted at approach value. Where is the bear witness to show a calculated intend a counterpart of The Final Solution, being concocted by the Ottoman government? There is none if there were to give an example the (unaffected) Armenian population of Istanbul could not have escaped such an atrocity. But Im not going into arguing the other align here as I did in my Sept. 1980 letter which I disbelieve was considered in any real way. Obviously the Armenians and the prejudiced Western sources are the harbingers of truth to the councils believe. (Ive found out the name of the textbook I wrote about in my earn. Its History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey" by Stanford Shaw in case youre interested in presenting an alternate believe by a Western historian to the councils investigate.. but I know youre not.. so this doesnt do much good does it!) Like the council the Times does not escape one-sidedness a lot of the time. change surface in this bind the evaluate of 1.5 million killed is written in such a way as to suggest the truth ignoring the fact that this evaluate exceeds the be number of Armenians known to have lived in the Ottoman Empire of 1915. But lets assume the quotes written here are factual. The Times has printed.
