During the ceremony honoring the 70th anniversary of the death
of Ataturk (d. Nov. 10, 1938), organized at the Turkish Embassy
in Brussels, the Turkish Defense Minister, Vecdi Gönul, launched
into an atrocious denial, praising the policy of what he termed the
"deportation" of the Armenians, because it allowed the construction
of the Turkish nation.
"Would it be possible today to maintain the same national State if
the existence of Greeks in the Aegean region and of Armenians in
several regions of Turkey had continued as before?" Vecdi Gönul
asked. "Remember, before the republic, Ankara was composed of four
sectors: Jewish, Muslim, Armenian, and Greek... When I was governor at
Izmir I realized that the Izmir Chamber of Commerce had been founded
only by non-Muslims. There was not a Turk among them."
The French blogger Yves Daoudal comments:
"Before the republic", Izmir was called Smyrna and it was a Greek city,
and stayed that way until 1922, when it was conquered by Ataturk. But
he had to deny that Izmir was a Greek city before the Greeks were
chased out of it, as he had to deny that the most fortunate deportation
of the Armenians was a genocide.
We should explain that if Vecdi Gönul was in Brussels, it was because
he was participating in a meeting of ministers of defense of the
European Union.
You heard me.
So we have still another example of the unstated, but undeniable,
fact - that Turkey is considered by the powers in Brussels (if not by
everyone else) as part of the EU. All that is lacking is the cutting
of the red ribbon.
Meanwhile, Novopress reports this latest development on the inevitable
accession of Turkey to the EU (inevitable because France's president
Sarkozy and America, not to mention the entire pro-Obama world desire
it). The article is entitled "Sarkozy sends his suckerfish". I have
put the words of Pierre Lellouche, a parliamentarian for Sarkozy's
UMP party, in bold:
Now that he has moved from a position of opposition to Turkey in the
EU to one of support, UMP deputy Pierre Lellouche has been appointed
by Nicolas Sarkozy to "relaunch Franco-Turkish relations", by giving
a series of seminars in Turkish universities. He has recently declared:
"We are in the process of joining the European Community with the
last European Empire. This is a major event., an historic step as
important as the accession of Great Britain. At the time, as now,
France was in the front ranks of the opposition."
The last European Empire??? Does he mean the Byzantine Empire? But
it's Turkey, not the Byzantine Empire. He is attributing Christian
roots to Turkey just as Sarkozy and Chirac have attributed Muslim
roots to Europe.
Tunisian-born of Jewish heritage, the self-promoting Lellouche appears
to be one of numerous useful idiots to the cause of multi-culturalism
and the Islamization of Europe. He is useful for obvious reasons -
he wants to "suck up" to Sarkozy. An idiot because he thinks the
entry of Turkey will somehow bring about an end to Islam!!!
A webpage devoted to remarks Lellouche has made in the press provides
these gems:
"We would be crazy to say no to Turkey."
Jean-Pierre Raffarin, then Prime Minister, said to him: "Do you want
the river of Islam to flow into the bed of laïcité?"
Lellouche: "I believe, on the contrary, that everything must be done
so that the river of Islam drowns in the ocean of democracy and human
rights. Moreover I am convinced that Islamism will be defeated in this
way: through equality of men and women, through separation of Church
and State. We have next door to us, a great secular Muslim country
that wants to share our values. It is making the necessary reforms. We
would be crazy to say no. It would be a major strategic error. The
objective of the Union is not to manufacture a Christian club or a
rich man's club, but to reunify Europe in peace and prosperity."
When the UMP party still opposed Turkey he said:
"In this matter, I am more in agreement with Jacques Chirac. To make
of Turkey a stake in French politics or in the next referendum, is
to pollute the debate. Some play around with the fear factor: that
is unworthy. Turkey is not Islamism or terrorism. Because of the fear
of Islam and of Arabs, we are saying no for the wrong reasons."
When the European Commission gave the green light to Turkey:
"[...] the main requirements have been fulfilled by Turkey: the
Erdogan government has passed no fewer than 460 laws, a considerable
effort. What also struck me during a recent trip to Turkey, when I
met key political figures, and leaders of the Jewish and Armenian
communities, as well as intellectuals, is to what extent the country
has mobilized to enter Europe."
On October 18, Yves Daoudal posted this item indicating that for the
United Nations, Turkey is already in Europe:
The UN Security Council includes five permanent members, but also
ten provisional members, half of whom are renewed each year.
The General Assembly elects representatives of large regions. One for
Asia: it will be Japan. One for Africa: it will be Uganda. One for
America: it will be Mexico. And two for Europe: Austria and... Turkey.
We should add that Turkey won hands down, while Austria barely won
the required two-thirds majority.
