The Young Turks' Crime Against Humanity
--- Quote ---
> The Young Turks' Crime Against Humanity: The Armenian Genocide
and Ethnic Cleansing in the Ottoman Empire is a 2011 book by
Taner Akçam, published by Princeton University Press. It
discusses the role of the Young Turk movement in the Armenian
Genocide and other ethnic removals.
>
> The original version of the book is in Turkish. The English
version has additional content as well as revisions of the
original content. Wolfgang G. Schwanitz wrote in the Jewish
Political Studies Review that The Young Turks' Crime Against
Humanity unifies the various perspectives of the time period
1913–1918, which the book focuses upon, into one historical
narrative.[1] The author states that there was no single
decision to eliminate Armenians but instead the momentum to kill
them came at multiple stages. Several documents cited by the
book had been hitherto unpublished.

Dönmeh
--- Quote ---
> The Dönmeh (Hebrew:
דוֹנְמֶה‎,
romanized: Donmeh, Ottoman Turkish:
دونمه‎, Turkish: Dönme) were
a group of Sabbatean crypto-Jews in the Ottoman Empire who
converted outwardly to Islam, but retained their Jewish faith
and Kabbalistic beliefs in secret.[1][2][3][4] The movement was
centered mainly in Thessaloniki.[1][4][5] The group originated
during and soon after the era of Sabbatai Zevi, a 17th-century
Sephardic Jewish Rabbi and Kabbalist who claimed to be the
Jewish Messiah and eventually feigned conversion to Islam under
threat of death penalty by the sultan Mehmed IV.[3][6] After
Zevi's forced conversion to Islam,[1][3][4][6] a number of
Sabbatean Jews also falsely converted to Islam and became the
Dönmeh.[1][3][4][7] Part of the Sabbateans lived on until well
into 21st-century Turkey as descendants of the Dönmeh.[1]
>
> The Turkish word Dönme ("Apostates")[1][4] derives from the
verbal root dön- (Ottoman Turkish: دون‎)
that means "to turn", i.e., "to convert", but in a pejorative
sense or "turncoat". They are also called Selânikli ("person
from Thessaloniki") or avdetî (Ottoman Turkish:
عودتی‎, "religious
convert"). Dönme not only refers to the Jewish "untrustworthy
converts" to Islam in Turkey but it is also a derogatory Turkish
word for a transvestite, or someone who is claiming to be
someone they are not. Members of the group refer to themselves
as "the Believers" (Hebrew:
המאמינים‎,
romanized: ha-Ma'aminim),[2][4][8] Ḥaberim
("Associates"),[4] or Ba'ale Milḥamah ("Warriors"),[4]
while in the town of Adrianople they were known as Sazanikos
(Turkish for "little carps"),[4] in reference to the changing
outward nature of the fish.[9] An alternate explanation of this
self-nomenclature is the prophecy that Sabbatai Zevi would
deliver the Jews under the zodiacal sign of the fish.

--- Quote ---
> Despite their feigned conversion to Islam, the Sabbateans
secretly remained close to Judaism and continued to practice
Jewish rituals covertly.[1][2] They recognized Sabbatai Zevi
(1626–1676) as the Jewish Messiah, observed certain Jewish
commandments with similarities to those in Rabbinic
Judaism,[1][2] and prayed in Hebrew and later in Ladino. They
also observed rituals celebrating important events in Zevi's
life and interpreted Zevi's conversion in a Kabbalistic way.

> Anti-Semitic canards and alleged political entanglements
> Turkish antisemitism and the canards upon which it relies are
centred on the mysterious figure of the Dönmeh.[17] According to
historian Marc David Baer, the phenomenon has deep roots in
late-Ottoman history, and its legacy of conspiratorial
accusations persisted throughout the history of the Turkish
Republic and is kept alive there today. Modern antisemitism
racially essentializes the Jew as a ubiquitous, homogenous unit
acting undercover in the guise of diverse global groups,
inexorably in pursuit of global political and economic control
via secretive channels. As a crypto-Sabbatean sect, the Dönmeh
were always an easy target of canards about secret,
crypto-Jewish political control and social influence, whether
charged with setting in motion political upheaval against the
status quo, or accused of shaping an oppressive regime's grip on
the status quo.[17]

Yeni Mosque, Thessaloniki, built by the Dönmeh community during
the Ottoman Empire
--- Quote ---
> The Dönmeh’s history of Sabbatean theological and ritual
secrecy grounded in Jewish tradition, coupled with public
observance of Islam, make accusations of secret Jewish control
convenient, according to Baer.[17] "Secret Jew," then, takes on
a double meaning of being both secretly Jewish and Jews who act
secretively to exert control; their secret religious identity in
the first place is compatible, for conspiracy theorists, with
their secretive influence, especially when they cannot be
distinguished from ordinary Turkish Muslims who reside
everywhere, and, as Baer argues, when the modern antisemite sees
the Jew as necessarily "everywhere." The Dönmeh's maneuverings
were said to have been at the core of Young Turk Revolution and
their overthrow of the Sultan Abdul Hamid II, the dissolution of
the Ottoman religious establishment, and the founding of a
secular republic. Pro-Sultan, religious Muslim political
opponents painted these events as a global Jewish and Freemason
plot carried out by Turkey's secret Jews, the Dönmeh, with
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the chief revolutionary and former member
of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), a leading Dönmeh
himself.[17]
>
> Additionally, the crypto-Jewish conspiracy claim has been used
throughout modern Turkish history by rightists and Islamists to
undermine the legitimacy of incumbent political leadership, and,
today, by leftists and secularists seeking to undermine the
political legitimacy of Erdogan and the origins of Islamism more
broadly. These, like other claims of Jewish aspirations to
world-domination, embodied in part by the successes of Zionism,
join the ranks as examples of both the enduring nature of such
canards in contemporary Turkey, and of their deep-seated
relationship with pervasive, worldwide theories of political
conspiracy propagated by radically different political elements
often simultaneously.[17]

Yet, Jews clearly helped setup a "Secular Republic" in France,
did they not? Why would they not also attempt the same
elsewhere?
HTML https://alphahistory.com/frenchrevolution/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/doromac.jpg
Is it really a stretch and "conspiracy theory" to state that
Jews who feign conversion to other religions would also try to
dissolve monarchies in host nations so as to install secular
republics which would in turn allow them to continue being Jews
without risking expulsion?

Turkey's diplomats killed by Armenian terror groups
--- Quote ---
> Turkey's foreign ministry is honoring the diplomats killed by
Armenian terror groups - most notably by members of the Armenian
Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia or ASALA. The group is
responsible for the killings of 77 people - including 58 Turkish
citizens, most of whom were diplomats and members of their
family. Founded in 1975, ASALA was the first Armenian terrorist
organization to wage war against Turkey.

Armenian Neo-Nazis on the rise?

The Armenian Pagan Neo-Nazi Problem
--- Quote ---
> To clarify: Though the foundations of the faith branch from
Nzhdeh's historic race religion ideals, it would be inaccurate
to say that the concept of an Aryan/Armenian bloodline drive the
modern version of the religion. There's a huge amount of nuance
there, hence the somewhat contradictory points around
5:50​ in the script.

It's safe to say all neo-nazis are morons, but the Armenian
neo-nazis I have ran into on the internet are some of the
dumbest. One thing is for certain, like all rightist groups out
there they also misappropriate the Swastika symbol into a symbol
of "hate" when in truth it has always been a solar symbol, even
in the Third Reich.
etc.

Turkey says it will respond in time to 'outrageous' U.S.
genocide statement
--- Quote ---
> U.S. President Joe Biden's declaration that massacres of
Armenians in the Ottoman Empire constituted genocide is "simply
outrageous" and Turkey will respond over coming months, Turkey's
presidential spokesman said on Sunday.
>
> Biden broke on Saturday with decades of carefully calibrated
White House comments over the 1915 killings, delighting Armenia
and its diaspora but further straining ties between Washington
and Ankara, both members of the NATO military alliance.
>
> "There will be a reaction of different forms and kinds and
degrees in coming days and months," Ibrahim Kalin, President
Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman and adviser, told Reuters in an
interview.
>
> Kalin did not specify whether Ankara would restrict U.S.
access to the Incirlik air base in southern Turkey, which has
been used to support the international coalition fighting
Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, among measures it may take.
>
> After other Turkish officials swiftly condemned Biden's
statement on Saturday, Erdogan would address the issue after a
cabinet meeting on Monday, Kalin said. "At a time and place that
we consider to be appropriate, we will continue to respond to
this very unfortunate, unfair statement," he said.

Crash of Turkey's lira puts poor on the brink of existence |
Focus on Europe
--- Quote ---
> Turkey's economy is currently experiencing a rapid crash. The
Turkish lira is losing value almost daily, and inflation is
officially at 36 percent. The poorest people in the country are
particularly affected by the inflation.
> For example, some 500,000 garbage collectors, rarely earn more
than the equivalent of 8 euros a day. Until now, they have made
a living from recycling. In large carts, they collect plastic
and paper from the street and from garbage containers to sell to
recycling collection points. But now the government wants to
modernize the recycling system and leave it up to large
companies. Istanbul's garbage collectors are fighting back.
