taner akçam denen herife holdwater ın cevabı

Ironically, Taner Akcam’s exposition reveals exactly what the caliber of his “scholarship” is worth. For example, Akcam repeats the weasel history of his master Dadrian, in claiming that the Ottomans had a “two track” system. They wrote orders protecting the Armenians, but what they actually did — according to Dadrian/Akcam — was circumvent these orders with secret orders to exterminate Armenians. Not a single example of the latter has been found, although there are plenty of the former. Aside from the total lack of motive and lack of logic for this birdbrained speculation (which “assumes that the Ottomans deliberately confused their own officials in wartime so that future historians would be fooled,” as Prof. Justin McCarthy worded it), Dadrian/Akcam had to come up with SOME evidence to try and support their dishonesty. So they “cherry-picked” an example of telegram-cancellation from the memoirs of Talat Pasha’s secretary, regarding not an official telegram reflecting government policy, but a letter of recommendation regarding a job applicant. VOILA!This is exactly what Taner Akcam has done, here. He found a link to my identity, and automatically concluded VOILA!But as genuine scholars and truth-seekers know, the truth often lies beneath the easy surface. Taner Akcam is neither a scholar nor a truth-seeker, so whatever Dadrian-style “expedient information” that proves an agenda-ridden theory will suffice. Such is the role of the propagandist.
