Pro-Turkish Comments from mainly non- Turkish intellectuals (4) [ for Nancy Pelosi stumbles over Armenian resolution]

Turks and Armenians are old friends: They lived in the same lands for 900 years. They shared the same food, the same land, and even the same songs for centuries.

For the old times' sake, I think the diaspora should think twice before acting with an arrogance and let the centuries old friendship between the peoples rejuvenate.

· How about the Turkish Parliament passing a resolution condemning the genocide perpetrated by the American military and settlers against Native Americans over 100+ year period? As far as I know, the US government has never officially recognized our systematic policies to eradicate the Indians as genocide.

· Armenian Diaspora spent over a billion dollars just to pass this resolution.

· If the Turks have a long ways to go before they are ready to join the European Union, but that also depends on whether the Europeans - who have recently shown disturbingly racist tendencies towards the Turks - ever let them in.

· Let historians decide what happened not lobby groups or politicians whose only interest is re-election.
