Letter: Let's not forget Turks
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.ROBERT FISK ("Turks to turn monks' cells into hotel", 20 December) no doubt points to certain disturbing facts, but generally views everything through the prism of Armenian and Greek Cypriot propaganda.
There is not one nation on earth that hasn't been involved in some form and degree of genocide. Some academics, journalists and members of the European Parliament, who seem to be suffering from an acute blindness towards certain facts, repeatedly highlight the sufferings of Armenians or Greek Cypriots but fail to mention the crimes unleashed on hundreds of thousands of Turks by Armenian "Tashnaks" prior to the ordeals of 1915, and the terrifying atrocities committed by the Greek expeditionary forces in the Marmara region during their invasion of Turkey in 1919.
The extermination of Turkish Cypriots is seldom mentioned or recognised. They should perhaps read HS Gibbons's Genocide Files.
