Tribune: STOP PUBLISHING TURKEY's HOLOCAUST DENIAL!
F i r e Amberin Zaman N-O-W!
THE EDITORS OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE HAVE REFUSED TO PUBLISH AN APOLOGY OR A CORRECTION.
The L.A. Times has not yet fired Amberin Zaman.
She uses "Los Angeles Times" underneath her
HOLOCAUST DENIER NAME.
The L.A. Times is owned by the Chicago Tribune.
If a reporter said the Jewish Holocaust was an "allegation disputed between American Jews and neo-Nazi's descendants of Germans slaughtered in the ghetto riots," there would be firings and resignations, apologies and corrections at those newspapers involved. Exactly why is the Armenian Holocaust denial to receive anything less?
Amberin Zaman has DENIED GENOCIDE TIME AND TIME AGAIN! What is going on?
READ ON!
"Reporter" Amberin Zaman - Ankara Turkey's State Tool. She is an Armenian Holocaust Denial MACHINE - prostituting the L.A. Times name to spew her hatred in papers like the Chicago Tribune and Philadelphia Inquirer. WHY IS THIS STILL GOING ON?
Holocaust or Genocide denial is a hate crime of unparalleled ferocity, as Professor Israel Charny has said, "killing the victim people twice-once with genocide and then again with denial."
The Armenian Genocide - the most thoroughly documented genocide on the planet -- is nothing but "allegations" according to Ankara, Turkey-based reported Amberin Zaman, published January 5th in the Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and Philadelphia Inquirer!
Turkish Denial has become a common topic for High Schools term papers -- largely thanks to the work of System of a Down, a rock group of Americans of Armenian descent-- and in Colleges and Universities -- thanks to Turkey's interesting, almost amusing omnipresent denial publications sent to colleges libraries from Ankara, Turkey financed by U.S. Tax dollars. They have been discredited and are ridiculed.
The goal of this protest is to raise awareness so as to lead to the immediate termination of the reckless publication of Armenian Holocaust denial by major U.S. newspapers-the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune (owner of the L.A. Times), and the Philadelphia Inquirer-and to increase their awareness of the irrefutably genocidal nature of Turkey's state's policies (1893 to 1923, but especially 1915) which removed 5 million Christians from Asia Minor ("Turkey") resulting in today's unrepentant and 99.9% Muslim Turkish Republic. This is often called the "Forgotten Holocaust." (See the petition by 128 of the best and brightest Holocaust Scholars at www.zoryan.org under "genocide documents")
A simple apology or a published correction by the Tribune, the LA Times and the Philadelphia Inquirer is the kind request of the physical protest.
Telephone and e-mail appeals to these three have thus far fallen largely on deaf ears, although a gentleman from the L.A. Times (Barry Swick) and an editor from the Inquirer did lend their ears and promised to speak with their colleagues. That is just not enough.
HERE IS MORE ON THE TURKISH REPORTER/DENIALIST:
http://www.geocities.com/van1915/AmberinZaman.html
On January 5th, 2003, and on at least one other occasion, Amberin Zaman, a freelance journalist based in Ankara, Turkey, and frequent "contributor" to the Los Angeles Times, wrote a shockingly misleading article about the Armenian Churches falling apart in Turkish-occupied historic Armenia. In the articles, she refrains from referring to the Armenian Genocide as a "genocide" but instead employs the word to portray the Armenian people as aggressors. You must read the article to understand the sinister way she hangs the word "genocide" on the neck of the Armenians - the ultimate hate crime.
If a reporter said the Jewish Holocaust was an "allegation disputed between American Jews and neo-Nazi's descendants of Germans slaughtered in the ghetto riots," there would be firings and resignations, apologies and corrections at those newspapers involved. Exactly why is the Armenian Holocaust denial to receive anything less?
There is no other side of the story to the gas chambers, or to the deserts of Deir Zor. The forced deportation and massacres of the Armenian people, the forced conscription (in 1914) and annihilation (in 1915) of the Armenian male population has no "other side." There is history and there is denial.
These newspapers have chosen Holocaust Denial, a hate crime, and that is unacceptable.

Amberin Zaman also writes for the ECONOMIST. She has a British accent and is based in Ankara, Turkey.

The brutal removal and murder of 5 million Christians from their ancient and ancestral villages in what is now TURKEY is REPEATEDLY reduced to "allegations" by Amberin Zaman. She is committing a hate crime. Professor Israel Charny of the Holocaust and Genocide Studies Institute in Israel notes that DENIAL OF GENOCIDE kills the victims twice. Amberin Zaman is guilty of CONTINUING THE SAME HATRED that caused the genocide in the first place.
Genocide Denial IS A SERIOUS HATE CRIME.
Amberin writing about a crumbling Armenian Church in Turkish-occupied historic Armenia uses the word "cultural genocide" to describe her completely invented notion that a mining explosions dozens of miles away in what is left of Armenia is somehow RESPONSIBLE for the churches to crumble!
THANKS AMBERIN: TURKEY'S ANNIHILATION OF ARMENIAN CHURCHES (and the Armenian people) IS MIRACULOUSLY TURNED INTO "A CULTURAL GENOCIDE" BLAMED ON ARMENIA AND ARMENIANS! Bravo Amberin! THIS IS WHAT YOU WROTE, AMBERIN! THIS IS WHAT THE L.A. TIMES PUBLISHED, dear TRIBUNE staff!
Amberin Zaman refers to the brutal deportation of 5 million Christians from their ancestral home sub-continent of Asia Minor (today's Turkey, 1890-1923), the murder of half, the abduction and forced Islamization of half the remainder, as "allegations."
Dear Amberin: There is no other side of the story to the gas chambers of the Holocaust, or the deserts of Deir Zor Syria, where over a million Armenians were slaughtered by Turks. There is only rancid DENIAL. How DARE YOU call the Armenian genocide an "allegation!" You have proven your worthlessness as a reporter, Ankara tool. May the L.A. Times and Economist break from granting you voice. You are GUILTY of hate crimes.
DENIAL is the LAST PHASE of GENOCIDE. YOU DENY THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
AMBERIN, IN YOUR WORTHLESS ARTICLES! SHAME ON YOU!

Amberin Infuriates the Armenians by DENYING GENOCIDE

Amberin Zaman lays claim to northern Iraqi oils fields, digging up Ottoman archival material in hopes of a oil-rich land grab, whilst the ARMENIAN, ASSYRIAN CHRISTIAN and GREEK GENOCIDEs are forgotten. Where are your priorities, Turk? HOW DARE YOU CALL THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AN ALLEGATION, you denialist Ankara Turk!
