    Subject: Letter to the Editor: Don't pander to Turkey
    Don't pander to Turkey
    EDITOR: The brutal violence by Turkish presidential guards in
    front of the Turkish embassy in Washington -- against a peaceful
    demonstration of Americans on their own soil -- is consistent with
    past experiences with Turkey.
    The present purported Turkish war against the Islamic State is a
    camouflage to destroy Kurdish freedom fighters.
    Let us not be blackmailed into believing that the United States
    needs Turkey more than Turkey needs the U.S. Witness Germany,
    which accepted the truth of the doings of the Nazi regime and
    became better human beings by doing so. We can help the Turks into
    civilization by standing on the truth of history -- the truth
    about the Armenian genocide.
    Let's not give up on morality and truth just because Turkey
    provides us the Incirlik Air Base. Recall that many American lives
    were lost unnecessarily in the May 2003 invasion of Iraq because
    Turkey did not allow us to invade Iraq through the north.
    As an Armenian whose grandparents, several uncles and aunts and a
    multitude of family friends died at the hands of Ottoman Turks in
    the Armenian Genocide of 1915-23, I consider it an abomination
    that Turkey still denies the slaughter.
