i really feel offended by these comments since i am a turk myself

obviously not many of you have been to turkey even once in their lives.. you wouldn’t be as aggressive and even blind

censorship is bad but it is a common procedure even in the most developed countries and it has nothing to do with democracy

talking about democracry in greece makes my stomach hurt

stop being ignorant like that and if you don’t i hope war will be in the end of present day economy crisis, so all of you will be thought a better lesson on what exactly turkey is: a good or a bad country, a strong or a weak one

“Why we have to accept something what we didn’t? ” blah blah blah you’re just like 90% of the turks, your own government has brain washed you, blaming it on the WW1.

@183
Why we have to accept something what we didn’t? whole the world don’t look objectively about this.

At the begenning of WWI, The Ottoman Empire was weaken. The opportunist Armenians used this situation against Ottoman Empire. They wore Russian uniforms and attacked out civilian villages and killed thousands of innocent people. Because of this, Ottoman Empire forced about (800.000 – total 1.3 millions were living in the Ottoman Empire) Armenians to migrate. Many of them died because of conditions of the time and be killed while migrating, yes its true but not more than armenians’ did. Many of people who damaged the immigrants punished.

“Why don’t you go ask Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians and all the other people the Ottoman Empire kept under harrowing conditions for centuries”

Have you ever asked? None of them don’t say any bad thing about The Ottoman Empire because they lived in peace while the reign of The Ottoman Empire.

“In your dreams. The United States freed more people and gave more humane aid in the 20th century, than any nation has previous to that century.”

This is the most funny thing i have ever seen.

@topic

Yes banning YouTube is ridiculous and I am against this. the “grey wolves” thing is too. But you don’t know anything about Turkey.

“20th century written by blood and it was not yours…”

In your dreams. The United States freed more people and gave more humane aid in the 20th century, than any nation has previous to that century.

Why don’t you go ask Romanians, Bulgarians, Hungarians and all the other people the Ottoman Empire kept under harrowing conditions for centuries, before you go lobbing blame at a country which isn’t perfect — but it’s infinitessimally better than your country.

I’m not even American either.

but, in turkey saying that the Armenian genocide did happen will get you thrown in jail. We’re smarter than that, we know your government committed the Armenian genocide, the whole world knows it but Turkey keeps denying it and in America it’s not even recognized as a genocide.

@178
how long americans advocate europeans?

in Turkey, denying the genocide of american natives is not humanity but not a crime too. you killed countless natives on their homeland and made their films to show how wild you are. you bombed over two hundred thousands of innocent people in dresden after germany surrended in WWII. You tested your nuclear bombs on japanese civillians. i don’t want to talk about iraq and somali. which is next?

are these enough to get you bashed?

do you want me to tell about europeans’ genocies?

20th century written by blood and it was not yours…

You guys, instead of wining here about our comments regarding this ridiculous censorship, go and protest outside of this … hilarious court and demand more freedom.

Of course only if you can do that without facing the “Grey Wolves” treatment…

BTW to the idiot who said ASALA are terrorists, you’re dumb. It’s a group of Armenians fighting for genocide recognition. They go after turkish diplomats not random civilians. They killed 50 people total in a matter of 25 years. If you consider that terrorism then what do you consider your Turkish government to be?

@175, that is because european countries realize that denying genocide is not humanity. It’s like saying the jewish holocaust didn’t happen. If you say that sh*t here in America you’ll get bashed. Genocide is not a joke.

and @ 177, go read a book or go on wikipedia.

“Most of comments here are more idiotic than banning of youtube.”

That, my dear, is free speech.

People who want only wisemen and women to give their opinions, are not in favour of freedom.

In many European countries, confessing armenian genocide is a lie is crime. This is your freedom of expression.
