      The photo belongs to Ebul Feyz Elchibey (Azerbaijan), not Shavardnadze. Also, Ozal’s mother has an Armenian background.

      There is a saying that Özal was Kurdish / Türkmen mix. Is there any evidence of his Armenian DNA ?Anyway it doesn´t matter. 12 Million Turks/Kurds in Turkey have Armenian DNA and it means nothing. 99.9% of them are always ANTI Armenian. They have to. @@erolbzrgn2210

    it's men like this which gives me hope that Turkey itself will one day accept responsibility for the genocide. I dont like to go into conspiracy theories but the DDT trace itself is pretty damning as a surplus of it in the human body can cause seizures. hopefully, his death isnt the end of the genocide being recognized, but merely a delay.

    Great video. While we're on the topic of turkish allies, I think everyone should be made aware of Taner Akcam, a turkish university professor who teaches outside of turkey for obvious reasons. He is dedicated in educating people about the armenian genocide, and was the first ever turkish scholar to do so, despite riutineky being attacked by his own country. Perhaps you could feature him in a video as well.

      @@AkravHistory Most interesting are the works he has published on the topic. One of his books, "killing orders" highlights proof of orders handwritten by Talaat Pasha which indicate a desire to kill all armenians, regardless of age or gender. The discovery of these telegram orders signed by Talaat played a vital role in dismantling Turkey's argument of "accidental deaths during deportation."

    6:32 This is false. What ended the Turkish-Armenian dialogue was the First Karabakh War. As president, Özal did not have actual power between 1991 and 1993. Turkish President has no legislative power except the veto and no foreign or demostic policy power. The Armenian raprochemont was supported by the then prime minister and later president Demirel.

    Dude, first of all, thanks for your research. Turgut Özal was an assimilated Kurdish /Türkmen mixed person. What you may not have researched is that Özal, on the other hand, prepared his military to invade Armenia. Russia was threating Ankara with Nuclear Strike if one Bullet came from the Turkish side. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, like so many politicians in Turkey. He lived in Malatya and knows Armenian and the hidden Turkish history very well.
    If it has not been possible militarily, they wanted to flood Armenia with cheap Turkish goods and thus destroy the domestic market and bring Armenia into their economic dependence or take it over.

      The newspaper that you mention "todayszaman" is backed by the FETO terrorists. Which attempted a coup attempt against Erdogan in 2016. Even though I hate Erdogan this terrorists are way worse than you can imagine. They always lied and spread a lot of conspiracies in their newspaper. There were a big court case in Turkey named "Ergenekon Davası" and in this case FETO blamed some soldiers and politicians in the army with a lot of conspiracys. So give back Van or being poisouned news are compl. lie. By the way Turgut Ozal is my distant relative.

      Very naive and typical Armenian. It doesn´t matter who was or who is coming in power in Turkey. So long they don´t have a denazification like Germany, they will always be Anti Armenian. Their goal is to unite with all Turkish speaking nations and get control over the natural recources and transit routes in Europe, Africa and Asia.

    Thank you Akrav. I was not aware of this history. If you exclude the nationalist Turks, what remains are willing to admit the role of Turkey’s triumvirate in the Armenian genocide. But imagining Turkey without nationalist is imagining Earth without water. Specially under Erdogan the nationalist fervent has become rampant with his dream of reestablishing the Ottoman Empire. Did you know that Erdogan has the portrait of the Red Sultan Abdul Hamid hung in his office?

    His father was of Armenian origin, while his mother was of Kurdish origin. Turgut Özal, on the other hand, basically progressed by taking part in the coup government and representing the interests of the USA in this government. Afterwards, he was appointed to this position by the Turkish bourgeoisie and the NATO bureaucracy. The cause of his death was the deep state, because just as the Turkish army was about to kill Abdullah Öcalan, he called the PKK leader and said that the army was about to kill him. The Turkish deep state will never forgive betrayal. Likewise, the reason why Tayyip Erdoğan is still in power is the Turkish deep state. What we call the deep state is not a secret formation, on the contrary, it consists of bureaucrats, businessmen and nobles who constantly renew themselves and make the Republic of Turkey more Turkified every day. Özal promised them that he would take Mosul and Kirkuk, but his intention to give land to the Armenians and autonomy to the Kurds killed him.
