Go back to the main page, ciick on "The World" and look for February 21. Then listen to the report on Turkish ultranationalism. There are quite a few people who believe not just that Turkey is blameless vis-a-vis the Armenians, but that Armenians "persecute our people." That is really rich and signals a kind of attitude that would be dangerous.movillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676360771674176743noreply@blogger.com
