- It is almost not worth another refutation of such creative demographics,
- however, I will respond by asking you to translate into English (since you are
- in England) the following title of a Turkish text published in Germany within
- the past few months:
-
- _Turk Ulusal Kimligi ve Ermeni Kirimi_, by Taner Akcam, 1992, Germany
-
- You see Kutluk, my Turkish is quite poor, but you -- who has the courage to
- revise the history of the Armenian people in front of thousands who read your
- crap -- should be man enough to translate this simple title into proper English
- so the rest of us will not get the wrong impression of you!
-
- Go ahead, we await your translation. As you think of the translation, go look
- in the mirror!
