the Hatays ... !

the Hatays??? Get your facts straight old lady:

The province was annexed from, what was then, the province of Syria (part of the Ottoman Empire) by France after World War I. France became the mandatory power in Syria and Lebanon, with self governed Alexandretta sucumbing to its military control as part of this mandate. Although geographically part of Syria, in 1938, the province declared its independence from French-ruled Syria changing its name to Hatay. This took place despite France's mandatory responsibility to maintain the unity of Syrian lands (article 4 of the mandate). On the 29th June 1939, the parliament of the newly declared Hatay Republic voted to join Turkey.

Presumably no Armenians or Arabs were ethnically cleansed from Hatay just as no Greek Cypriots were ethnically cleansed from the occupied north of Cyprus when the occupation regime voted to succeed from the RoC eh?

Thats what they will be saying in a few years...that the north choose to break away, since they had the majority vote.....

[wyoming cowboy]

So they murder and commit genocide on those Armenians living there, then they have the majority vote, they ethnically cleanse north Cyprus through murder invasion and banditry, and then they have the majority vote......In another forum a Turk was boosting that Turkey has more christian churches then any other country...My question to him was "....where are all the Christians?" Insanity is what Turkey is and nothing more.....

I guess you don't have the capacity to understand what is written so a short summary for you: Predominantly Muslim Hatay people got their independence from Christian French. And Hatay people voted for unification with Türkiye the following year.

Thank you for your patience and in translating these facts into short words for me. In similarly simple language, can you tell me what happened to the Armenian and the bulk of the non-muslim arab population of Hatay? Ethnic cleansing, perchance?

They decided they wanted to continue living under French rule and moved there.

In 1938 the Turkish army entered Hatay, and expelled Arab and Christians, where they outnumbered the Turks...the remaining Turks vote to be annexed to Turkey.....in 1939. What happened to the Arab and Christians.?

Another independent historic video that clearly shows the barbarity of the Turk....

Oh look which irredentist mongrel, desperate to deny turanist expansionist atrocities, that bait picked up!

A perfect parallel for Cyprus, doncha agree? Ethnically cleanse and slaughter the Christian majority, change names, replace them with tourko settlers and then hold dodgy elections to proclaim some "rights".

You played that game once too often. Thought you could do the same in Cyprus, huh? Well, you've been rumbled and now you are stuck, forging a retreat without losing too much face for fear your whole neo-fascist-tourko empire will come crushing down around you. Piece by piece ...

Killed any more journalists for mentioning *genocide* in your "progressive", "modern" state?
