#1 her real Armenian name was Heranus

That's a very unfortunate name if you live in an English-speaking society.

#2 I wonder if the release of genealogies, showing that many Turks are actually of Armenian descent, is actually intended to create a new class of those assumed to be disloyal so that, like the Gulenists, they can be arrested and stripped of their assets?

And now that Armenia has broken off normalization, there is a country that will welcome them, and which can be blamed — possibly even a potential war in the making, as there now is against the Kurds...

#3 A comment I'd like to make, partly in response to TW's, and partly in response to the article itself: you can tell the Turks that are part Greek/Arab/Armenin/Kurdish/whatever instead of being Turkish because they're the ones that aren't short, black-haired, yellow-skinned, and with black slanted eyes.

In short, you can tell the ones that aren't really Turks but instead are some racially inferior halfbreed sub-human thing because they don't look like East Asians, and they look like, well, Erdogan.

(There. That should get us banned in Turkey.)

Indeed.

#5 My point being, they can't afford the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about Turkey and racial purity. They don't look like Turks from the turkish homelands back in Kazakhstan or Tuva. For comparison, look at the current Russian defense minister, who's half Russian and half Tuvan.
