Appeal Throughout a century Turkey which made Genocide of Armenians had a great number of opportunities for a repentance, at least by an example of Germany, however it didn't have enough honesty and courage by them to use. Moreover, it not only denies the accomplished terrible villainy, but also continues to carry out policy in which the genocide is still the instrument of achievement of the objectives. Here the short list of crimes as the Turk, and their diligent students – the Azerbaijanians made after the main event of Genocide: -1955 The house - museum of Ataturk was set on fire. Then Ankara, having used the fire as an occasion, organized massacres of Greeks in Turkey, during which also Armenians suffered. As then it became clear, Turks arranged the arson themselves. - 1974 Turkey occupies 37% of the territory of Cyprus. Both Greece and Turkey were then members of NATO, however the North Atlantic alliance did nothing for counteraction of Turkish aggression. As a result thousands of Greeks perished and disappeared without a new, their fate till today is unknown. As well as in other episodes of genocide, Armenians suffered together with Greeks. - 1981. In Istanbul the 60 anniversary from the date of death of the murderer of the Christian people Talaat was celebrated in a festive atmosphere. Traditional Turkish ceremonies were made at confluence of big mass of people, in the presence of the state and military heads of Turkey. - 1988-1992. On the improved turk technology Azerbaijanians made slaughter over the Armenian population of Azerbaijan SSR. Hundreds of thousands Armenians are deported. In Karabakh the Greek village of Mekhmana was taken and destroyed, his inhabitants were deported. -1993. For the preparation of large-scale offensive on the Karabakh front, the Turkish government to assist Azerbaijan in manpower and equipment organized recruitment and financing of 5,000 mercenaries from Turkey. - 2004. In heart of Europe, in Budapest the Azerbaijan officer who had military and ideological training in the Turkish camps placed on the occupied territory of Cyprus on courses of NATO kills with an axe of the asleep Armenian officer G. Markaryan. -2007. The famous journalist and the human rights activist Grant Dink who was speaking about Genocide and supporting reconciliation of two nations is killed. Tens of thousands of Kurds, Christians of Constantinople and the Turks came to pay their last tribute to a journalist and human rights activist with placards: "All of us Dinky", "Dink killed by Turkey." However, a few days later after the funeral, everything was back to normal. In the nationalist press of Turkey there were articles propagandizing slogans "Turkey for Turks" or "All of us are Ogun." In parallel intimidation of the Armenian clergy begins. Involuntarily you remember meetings of Azerbaijanians in support of murderers of Armenians in Sumgait, and then in support of the murderer of Armenian officer Ramil Safarov. And if in 1988 meetings were held under the slogans "Freedom to the heroes of Sumgait", "Azerbaijan for Azerbaijanians", in 2004 Azerbaijanians scanned "we are all Ramili" , and the Azerbaijanian press reported proudly that these days many newborn boys and girls called by the name of the murderer - "Ramil" or "Ramila". Today Turkey has concentrated the troops on border with Syria and threatens to occupy its territory, categorically suggesting Armenians to leave the houses. Having passed from threats to action, the Turks took and devastated the city of Kesab, having expelled from familiar spots its Armenian population. After on the bones of the tormented Armenians, Greeks and other people the Republic of Turkey was created, its new management didn’t separate from the organizers and performers of massacre, but on the contrary, provided high state posts to Young Turks entering into the "special organizations" created for carrying out genocide. Turkey still sacredly reveres the memory of criminals. However, fascist Germany also distinguished in reverent attitude to the Turkish executioners. According to the Israeli newspaper "Etiot Ahronat" (12.12.1983), Hitler personally dealt with an issue of the reburial of ashes of the executioner of Armenians and Greeks Talaat - Pasha, instructing Martin Bormann at the beginning of 1943, together with the Turkish government to transfer the remains of the murderer from Berlin to Istanbul. Not acknowledging the genocides of Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians, blocking Armenia, occupying the part of the territory of Cyprus, adding criminals in the ranks of heroes, Turkey seeks to get to the EC, roughly violating human rights, ethnic and religious minorities. There is no doubt that, once having got to the EU in the status of the full membership; Turkey finally privatizes the inheritance of the murdered people got by robbery. We don't provide statistics of the victims in our address: where, when and how many unarmed Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians were destroyed. These figures are considerably underestimated due to the efforts of the President of the Republic of Turkey Kemal Ataturk. Exactly he in 1931 issued a decree on the establishment of the "Turkish historical company" which structure included the engaged Turkish and foreign historians. They had launched an order for cleaning of archives, for falsification and fabrication of an old and a modern history of the peoples, living under an Ottoman sword. Naturally, the focus of the Turkish "historians" was Greeks and Armenians who brought up the question about their losses on the languages of the peoples of Europe. Unfortunately, at the certain stage the Soviet historians already having an experience of modifying of history according to Lenin precepts also were involved in the Turkish falsifications. As a result, the Greek - Turkish war got anti-Greek and anti-Armenian interpretation. The same recipes were used in the creation of history of Azerbaijan, from which Armenians as natives of the territory of today's Azerbaijan are deleted. According to the Turkish recipes, the creative role of Armenians also doesn’t confess in any way. It is necessary to be surprised to why so imperceptible people awarded with genocide and deportation. Dear compatriots! Armenians of Artsakh who survived not one invasion of the Turkish and the Turanian tribes throughout the history, nowadays assert the statehood and the right to live on their land. We are sure that they will manage to protect it from the aggressive neighbor, raving revanchism. Recognition of genocide of Greeks and Assyrians in Turkey is inevitable by National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, but we would like that Nagorno-Karabakh as held in all respects state, the first of two Armenian states, condemned genocide of Greeks and Assyrians in Turkey. In due time the Republic of Cyprus (1982) recognized and condemned the Armenian Genocide, and only then it was done by Greece. However, Greece went further, and the parliament of the country on September 9, 2014 adopted the law on criminalization of denial of Genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey. Summarizing the above, the Organization of Greeks of Armenia and Nagorno- Karabakh "Patrida" appeals to you to begin process of recognition of genocide of Greeks and Assyrians in Turkey. We also call the descendants of the people which underwent genocide and all world community to make the claim to today's Turkey for the committed crimes against our people and return the stolen historical, cultural and other values to their rightful owners. The God Almighty and the memory of our ancestors are with us.
