    The Turkish Blue Book

    Armenians have a "Blue Book" said to compile the evidence supporting
    the so-called Armenian genocide committed by the Turks. Why can't
    the Turks have a book telling the Turkish version of events, which
    reveals the truth about the Armenians and that shows how the real
    massacre was done against the Turks, not the Armenians?

    The "Turkish Blue Book" or, "The False Claims of the So-called
    Armenian Genocide and Armenian Violence and Massacre of the Turks,"
    written by Ismet Binark, was published a few weeks ago as the 16th
    periodical publication of the Ankara Chamber of Commerce (ATO).

    The book is 342 pages, printed on a blue-colored quality paper in
    reference to the Armenian "Blue Book," which has been harboring the
    so-called Armenian genocide claims for nearly a century.

    Binark is an award-winning archivist. In his book, he falsifies the
    genocide claims with an extensive range of proofs including photos
    and official documents.

    The book is introduced by ATO Chairman Sinan Aygun, who writes,
    "From the first day of its existence, Turkey has been the target
    of efforts to destroy and shatter it." In Binark's preface to his
    work he explains his principal motive for writing the book: "It's
    unacceptable and incomprehensible that some of our supposed friends
    and allies expend so much effort in forcing Turkey to acknowledge
    our responsibility for the so-called genocide thesis, which is not
    supported by any documents."

    The book reveals the facts that there were surely Armenians who died
    in southern Anatolia region in 1915, but that they died because of
    the events of World War I and emigration.

    Summarizing his book, Binark explains that the real massacre was
    in fact committed by Armenians against innocent Turkish villagers.
    Binark has this to say about the perverse distortion of the facts
    regarding these events and their significance in the present time:
    "The so-called Armenian genocide is sometimes brought to the table,
    in both domestic or foreign politics, by so-called allies or enemies
    of Turkey. There is no doubt the issue will always be part of Turkey's
    political context and an issue in Turkey's international relations."

    He also expressed his personal viewpoint as to why someone should
    learn about these events: "To be ignorant of the issue and to not
    reply to these false claims is not an acceptable position given the
    weight of history. It should be noted that by neglecting the massacres
    of the Turks throughout history, the world ignores the common values
    of humanity and kills the idea of universal justice."

    The Turkish Blue Book is a piece of art disguised in appearance as
    an historical document, which should be read by everyone.
