ZEYNEP TOZDUMAN

April 24 of the centenary of genocide run to stay in the genocide debate in Turkey, established to prosecute the perpetrators of the genocide in 1918 Month of the council and the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies and the court-martial courts experienced discussion of these days even the government is very much back in the state. Europe and the world in many parliaments and international organizations and institutions in an accelerated process with Turkey to recognize the genocide, genocide denial of the method is still persistently pursuing cover. To face the dark and dirty aspects of our history is our indispensable to take a further Turkey.
Why are we so afraid to face our history we asked dirty; There are so many reasons. Once the Holocaust, if legally retrial, due to the murder will be revealed ‘to blame’, and accordingly, ” sentenced to fear ‘. If began to be spoken in the country on the Armenian genocide, the nation state of our leaders is the founder and the state’s top-level important tasks do have public or private parties from participating in a large part of the Armenian massacre of Armenians and plundering of the results of the goods will occur fact that enrichment. As well as the national hero because in essence they foist years we will be revealed as the killer and thief.
itc. dirty legacy of the young Republic of giant fields, until today because of reckoning equivalent to almost every day with the 1915 Genocide was able to maintain its existence through falling massacre. Founded in 1918, the European edition of the Month of the council, the Ottoman Parliament-i-deputies and court-martial proceedings, and with the steady-if we had a real chance of a fair trial if we would not be having this shame these days.
Aya’s parliament first session, war period of the deputies recognized Unionist leader of Foreign Affairs and Halil hinge, which was found in the Ministry of Justice task, Haji Adil (Arta) was replaced by the Assembly-i chose as Mebuss the head. Renowned journalist Hüseyin Cahit Unionist (Yalcin) was elected as deputy chief. Sultan, the moon and the Assembly in his opening speech at the joint meetings, being aware of the dark atmosphere inside, ” Almighty’s right … Müşküle shift our success bestowed dictate the wish … (I) ‘, diyordu.48
Fuad Bey, November 4th, although adopted in accordance with the proposal given by the establishment of the Divan-ı Ali could not obtain any result. According to Article 31 of the Ottoman parliament, parliament will decide on the establishment of such a court, which was closed on December 21, 1918 by a sovereign will. Kanun-i on the basis of Article 7 of the sultan was giving such authority. 71
According to Article 60 of the Ottoman Kanun-i Esasisi, Ayan Council members, the National Assembly, not exceeding one third of the number of members were elected by the sultan. Although this election cycle Month 265 deputies of the Assembly of the number of members was 48, and 45 of them had been serving as active. Former Unionist leader of Ahmet Riza, after being elected to the Assembly chairmanship Ayan’- Month keynote speech I read. Ahmed Riza, October-December 1915 period in Parliament, Talat Pasha, the Armenian government against the wartime politics, bravely challenged with four different occasions. The first of October 4, 1915 (September 21 1331) history. Ahmad Reza In this session, where they will face the upcoming winter driven violence, misery and desperation of hundreds of thousands of women, children and elderly people have requested for mercy; Exile, or had asked to be allowed to be placed where they wish, or to return to their homes. Also, by a law proposal, identified as illegal and immoral, and ‘Emval-i Metruke”Olarak issued in connection with the known how to use the property left behind by the Armenians wanted to postpone the implementation of the temporary law.
Is the issue of genocide in our country when our archive Let’s leave it all on the agenda continuously open topic historian said the government does not know these reports? I wonder. Holocaust deniers; Month’s parliamentary reports, the Court of Haripur to court records, secret passwords, Talat Pasha’s special circular and the researchers browse the archives / historians to publicly share their books, pictures, they look at oral testimony and documents, as if they are doing their best to refute the genocide thesis.
Moreover, even if there are no documents of the ancient peoples of this country; once someone is comprised of non-Muslim peoples of every four people, although it is known from population statistics these days, how is it that the share of the total population is around 70 thousand, I questioned them enough. Talat Pasha during the 1915 genocide and the questions they want to secure the population of the Christian people in attendance even cause -5% leads us how the genocide perpetuated. Our existence is the reason of their absence.
4 November with Talat pressure according to the report dated 1915 (when the Assembly pro-Armenian propaganda continues, threats to take more drastic measures against the Armenians and the government on against the government if they give up to the parliamentary question, the attitude towards the government Armenian gave softening mentioned) because Ahmad Reza and friends agreed to this proposal. ” 77
1918 on started to work, one of the subjects that remind Ahmad Reza in his speech on the occasion of the opening of the Month of the Assembly, ” wild until beatify the murdered Armenian spirit etmekti.78 two days later retired military Osman Pasha, Ahmed Riza, Turks and Kurds victims in disregard of due critices, went a step further and blame the consent of the Armenians’ state hands’ implemented ‘resmi”b policy result they were destroyed açıkladı.79
Another Ayan azam in the same session, Damad Ferid, saying that if the Armenians migrated elsewhere evoke a false impression that they are placed ettirilip ‘relocation’ protested the use of the word. Better describing the place to be forced instead .Tehc tedip (reporting the limit) argued that it would be more appropriate to use the word. In the same speech he, in this disaster that resulted in the destruction of the 800,000 Armenians in eklemiştir.80
Although there is much power in the hands of legal and continued to engage in similar initiatives on issues Ayan Assembly. President Ahmad Reza reads a new proposal in the session on November 21, 1918. To judicial investigation by the Council of State will take a lot of time channel says that it should be preferred instead of a series of public law can be made of the proceedings. Otherwise, all the evidence will be doomed. The issue is not an issue limited only by the failure of political authority, and also ‘massacre, public şekavet, such as immunity-i şahsiyye and emval and rape on the mesa’ crimes are committed. The investigation of this crime in the scope of direct public law. Because ‘Subscribing been irtikab even many efal and murder about the Ottomans and especially Arab, Armenian, Greek citizen to ever history-i Osmani the precedent unprecedented atrocities enforcement has become.’ ‘Crimes committed,’ ‘murder-i personal to’ be investigated and public prosecutors to investigate the killings are needed in the field of criminal law and the ‘claw-i justice,’ ‘the delivery of şarttır.86
Speaking Ayan Osman Ahmed Riza Pasha members on this conversation, why are charged only Unionist managers argued that all should be kept out of the Turks of events. Another Ayan Council members also raised a question on why the victims in why they considered the question of whether the perpetrator of the Turks. Ahmed Riza said, ” I recognize the killings as an element of unity and Progress veyahut other offenders in the country. Single force-i diagnosis icraiyye … After the war, murder in the government-i icraiyy the chores, ” he says. Even if you or others responsible for the murder of a gang is still blame the government, which has permitted it to be. Turkey in response to the question why the count of victims: ‘Government … because Maatteessüf the Turkish government did not reveal the sufferings of the Turks. Yes, they are oppressed. He was hurt in the Turkish government. ”
The most revealing offensive during the debate on events and in this sense the most incriminating statement made by a senior statesman Akif Rashid Pasha. Akif Pasha created in the first post-war cabinet Shura-yi he served in his capacity as head of State, and this time not say that faced with two types of documents. One of them is given by Ministry of Internal Affairs and the deportation order, which was delivered to the province. The other is taken by the Union and Progress Party and the center-i ordered the destruction of which was sent to all common areas. Rashid Akif Bey’s statement ‘this sucks-i performance of the gang is followed by an official act-i meluneyy for to Sitapur by the center-i General every aspect of EVAMAR-i menhus the encyclical has become.’ ‘On the orders’ gangs challenge was taken and mukatele-i showed cruel face. ” Rashid Akif Pasha Committee of Union and Progress, referring to, ” not only for four years, ten years realm-i İslamiyyet, the universe-I insaniyyet the tarumar that there is a traitor mass (d) .89
In session 2 December Damad Ferid Pasha, Union and Progress Party majority or the deputy member or claim to be his ardent supporters. By Ferid Pasha, Divan-i Ali, the Union and was a tactic to gain time they applied the Terakkici and these ” Time has passed, the ability of these gafilân ‘are worth remembering. Therefore, the attempts made in the Council of State has proposed to postpone until after new elections. According to him, investigations should be transferred to the Crimes Tribunal-i.
Ferid Pasha has expressed this idea in motion all. Ferid Pasha’s proposal to answer the purposes of political crimes committed by the Çürüksul Mahmut Pasha wartime government gave a speech that consists of entering a single war, ” War and of the country’s by-i-administration ‘says it is processed in many other crimes. These murders the following terms: ” Both Armenians, Greeks, such as non-Muslim and should Muslim elements on extortion when the persecution and murder of a majority at that time location-i’s cabinet in power for some of the lesser-yi I depressions by the active (designed) and issued and aledderecat (respectively) A team was conducted by alata with gangs called the Special Organization. ” Çürüksulu Mahmud Pasha’s argument, there are adjectives that government members during the war of these crimes and, therefore, the Court of Alice trial they are needed. Because it is an administrative misconduct in question. Mahmud Pasha shows such as drowning in the sea of ​​Armenians in Trabzon province borders on the agenda olarak’ example of this thesis. Pasha by Trabzon province is the main responsible for the killings carried out in Trabzon governor. The leading Muslim army accident has taken initiatives to be left in place before the governor of the Armenians in the accident. But because it nullifies the governor attempts to threaten themselves openly and ‘you and I tenkil priest,’ ‘he says. All homicides in the county governor and the secretary-i really responsible division of Union and Progress (Yenibahceli Nail) is processed by. Mahmud Pasha wants to underline the point, the murder of ‘centers of evamir a few governors pursuant vesait-i alata and executed by the officer of the gangs with icraiyye’ is that which is.
Discussions, members of Ayan, under the frustration caused by the statement made by the minister, all these initiatives ends with voicing their concerns about the possible consequences. Ferid Pasha, three weeks in the murders that he ought to prove a strong European whether the nation to do otherwise, ” about us will be very strict provisions will be sold and the last contrite will not benefit. ” According to him, all ‘these atrocities and murder liability is ait” a few bum. Hosni Hussein Pasha from Ayan, during the investigation of the events that occurred in Damascus in the 19th century Kececizade Mehmed Fuad Pasha, that he ought to be examples of behavior. 1860s regarding processed similar crimes against Christians in Lebanon, Fuad Pasha, had to deal at length with the principles of law ‘, the region increasingly there is a’ court-i alia ‘were formed as by criminals. As is known, Fuad Pasha, alleged to be associated with the events executed 167 people etmiştir.92
In one of the revelations made in the debate in Ayan Ayan council members also belong to the Armenian Azariah. November 21 dated session Rashid Akif Pasha, after giving the information about the secret orders sent to the area for the killing of Armenian convoys, Azariah, the Istanbul Chief of Police has transferred a conversation they did during the First World War and Osman Bedri. A member of another moon in his speech Zareh Dilber also attended the Chief of Police has said to Azariah: ” You’re supposed to blame Armenians blameless than we separate. We all wash water. ” 94
Created by Ayan Council council-i ended their work and describes the results of Mahsusa November 9th session Ayan as a report dated November 14. Çürüksul Commission has decided to publish the material in the hands of Mahmud Pasha. Members of Honour Rashid Nazir month old aquifer and well-known historian Abdurrahman have become persistent in making such a publication. But do not get any results from these initiatives in the Ottoman Deputies shut down on December 21, 1918 along with Ayan and frustrate all efforts. The Chamber of Deputies, should Article 31 of the Fundamental Law, has decided to make legal inquiries about members of the government with the charges of abuse of office. This is the first leg of the Assembly’s 5th Branch of the investigation was to employ this process.
Investigation and National Assembly in order to continue their research, only 2 branches and 7 of the Month, which is contrary to the Assembly committee, there were 5 branches and 21 council. Deputies decision taken under Meclis- war ii era members of the government investigation has been assigned to one of these branches. 5 of 45 members serving in the branch of the ‘whole was chosen from among those nominated by the Committee of Union and Progress in 1915.’ ’95
Indeed, in 1914, consisting of the last Chamber of Deputies deputies are not elected, as alleged, Abdullah Cevdet Kasım’n up to 95% in 1918 as saying in an article came mostly through an assignment. 96
The majority of the members of the Union and Progress among members of the 5.Şub, all questions were asked regarding the Armenian deportations and killings by Arab members altogether. In particular, Justice Minister Ibrahim Bey’s query, some remain hidden aspect of the Armenian genocide has helped to clarify. Naz Ibrahim Bey, although the government has been implicated in the murder deny that meat, some information was passed inadvertently proving this massacre. Arab deputy Ragıp Neşaşib of Talat’s 13/26 May, 1915 the temporary relocation of the law, the government National Assembly’s approval path is not never presented Ibrahim Bey squeezed, the overlooked chose the path of resorting to tricks and each chamber is also approved this decision said. September 21 / October 4, 1915 the date of the grand vizier authority memorandum relating to the deportation of the Armenians (temporary law) grounds the (leading motives) that includes a proposal (motion-i sami) have been submitted to the parliament speaker.
Also Nasser Ibrahim Bey, during interrogation, the mistreatment and murder of Armenians is the very latest news söyledi.said Halim, nor Talat nor Enver they listening to him, Enver, ask that every question, ” really responsible mine ‘, saying that transition, Talat’s’ wish that was yaptığını”söyle.
Kemalist republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal, the second day of the opening of parliament, in a speech on 24 April 1920 Armenian genocide ‘shameful act’ ‘was mentioned. Two days later, in a message sent to the Army Commander Kazim Karabekir, ” a new Armenian genocide ‘, while expressing concern at the prospect, clearly’ used to katliam”keli. Mustafa Kemal’s acceptance of this massacre, massacre victims with a special meaning this attitude clearly say that 800,000 of the total number of Armenians kazandı.197
However, the same Mustafa Kemal, while the annual report to Parliament on 1 March 1921 to explain the former deputy and 12 coming from the Istanbul Council of 68 from the 350 MPs that the former Malta exiles and about the Armenian genocide ‘Turkey’ The trial of Turkish nationals on their territory by a foreign court for crimes committed ‘idea would definitely appeal. Instead, Turkey recourse to remedies against war crimes öneriyordu.201
CUP’s heritage giant Mustafa Kemal the Armenian Genocide for the first opened the era of parliament even if the name look cute in Europe ” massacre ” said later step back to pronounce the massacre word taken, to take part in the report, what is not genocide?
In the past, kept alive in this land, blood was founded until today, the Cumhuriyet genocide were constantly denied and that the massacre somehow İTC and extension of the Republic, the Armenian people saw it until day always as an internal enemy / vision are well maintained. As a reflection of these internal enemies policy, the 1915 genocide is still continuing. Peacemakers in the murder of Hrant Dink, Sevag fisherman Maritsa Small etc. Such as murder is still in the perspective of the state of the Armenian people have a fair trial. Recently Hayko Baghdad in person Ankara Metropolitan Mayor Melih such as the state officials when Armenianship sees small, humiliated, who can not tolerate even the existence, racist, alienating, and explanations within the scope of hate crime, we are constantly witness. These documents not What do you think?
Passed over a hundred years of the 1915 Genocide … a century of work …. Century is still non-age people living in hope, who can not even guarantee the right to life of Armenian citizens still living in Turkey with care, avoiding the so-called advanced than sorry.
