Calling Istanbul Armenians ...dirty Turkish dogs ...half Armenians ...not knowing anything 'cause they're from Turkey is offensive to both Turks and Armenians in Turkey. They are... ...not dirty Turkish dogs, but hardworking Turkish citizens ...not half Armenians, but from a full and ancient Armenian heritage ...not ignorant, in fact, highly educated in arts and sciences. Armenians elsewhere! Please drop this negative attitude for everything from Turkey. And think about the fact that a Muslim Turk is defending a Christian Armenian just because of childish chauvinism. Enough said. Take care. I am from Istanbul, Turkey (not Armenian though).

Calling Istanbul Armenians

…dirty Turkish dogs
…half Armenians
…not knowing anything ’cause they’re from Turkey

is offensive to both Turks and Armenians in Turkey.

They are…

…not dirty Turkish dogs, but hardworking Turkish citizens
…not half Armenians, but from a full and ancient Armenian heritage
…not ignorant, in fact, highly educated in arts and sciences.

Armenians elsewhere! Please drop this negative attitude for everything from Turkey.

And think about the fact that a Muslim Turk is defending a Christian Armenian just because of childish chauvinism.

Enough said.

Take care.
