Commemoration of the genocide of Armenians and Greeks in Pontos and Asia Minor (debate)
Mr President, Turkey declares that something happened 100 years ago, so today it must be forgotten. Unfortunately, we have met willing fellow parrots of such paid positions. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not talking about 3.5 million ankles. We are talking about 3.5 million people slaughtered by Turkish Islamism, of whom 353 000 Pontic Greeks, simply because they were Christians. We don't forget it, as it was our grandparents. But they could be your grandparents. We recall that there was guidance from German politicians and soldiers who tested methods that they then perfected. Every year we ask Turkey for recognition, unsuccessfully. This year, we are also calling for Germany to acknowledge its contribution to the genocide and end its unacceptable support for Turkish Islamism. Turkish Islamism targeted Hellenism and every version of Christianity and non-Turks. It is a conflict between Hellenism and Turkism, between Christianity and Islam, between darkness and light, between civilization and conquest, between murder and theft. What a shame to say you're Turkish. Our ally is memory, historical knowledge, responsibility. Our enemy is the paid holidays for you and your family, the free tickets of Turkish Airlines and the legitimate and controlled Islamist voters who promise you. Pick a side.
