 Again, please excuse this x-posting to news.admin.policy. Since Argic is a hot
 issue in news.admin.policy, by he/she/its own doing, this is a sample expose' 
 of the Cosar-Argic-Mutlu UseNet misinformation team.

In article <9212251215@zuma.UUCP> sera@zuma.UUCP (Serdar Argic), a servile dolt
in the service of Turkish fascism, posted a response with text written by the
Inspector General of Turkish Forces in Armenia from:

[(*] [1] _Four Years Beneath the Crescent_ Rafael De Nogales, Inspector General
[(*]  of Turkish Forces in Armenia and Military Governor of Egyptian Sinai 
[(*]  During the War, Translated from the Spanish by Muna Lee, Charles 
[(*]  Scribner's Sons, New York, London, 1926, page 17

Ha..."Turkish Forces in Armenia" ...according to Turkish Historical Revisionism
there was "never" a place called Armenia! What a pack of self-refuting fools!

[(*] He didn't have the guts to quote this either:
[(*] 
[(*]   "there can be no doubt that the Turk, in spite of all his
[(*]    defects, is the first soldier and the first gentleman of
[(*]    the Orient,"

Upon checking this suggested reference, from the mouth of its author, Nogales 
Bey, the Inspector General of Turkish Forces in Armenian AND the Commander of 
Turkish forces during its siege of the Armenian city of Van, said:

"Later on, when I returned to the village, or rather to the house of the
 military chief of Tel-Armeni, in which I was lodged, I learned from his 
 youthful housekeeper, who was a Nestorian and the only Christian survivor
 of the massacre, that the gendarmes and the Arabs, supported by the population
 of Tel-Armeni, had suddenly attacked the Christian population, cutting them
 down ruthlessly without giving them a chance to defend themselves. When that
 young girl, a beautiful creature with her long black hair and mournful blue
 eyes, came to realize that I was not a Turk but a Christian, she flung
 herself to her knees at my feet; while I seemed to hear at my ear, vibrating
 like a hyena's laughter, the cynical words of the Grand Vizier Talaat Pasha,
 'The massacres? Oh, well! They merely amuse me!'".[1]

Today, the body of Talaat Pasha lies in a tomb in Freedom Hill, Istanbul, 
Turkey, and had been the sight of anti-Armenian protests, as resently as March
1992. Such a Turkish national monument is a tribute the triumph of fascism over
its victims! Just think...Turkey, a NATO member!
