Sample Letter:

Parliament of South Australia's acceptance of so called Armenian genocide proves once again that low level politicians can do anything to get votes. Those petty minded politicians think so big of themselves, they even think they can rewrite history without having slightest idea what the facts are. No wonder politicians are not respected in this country.The truth is that Turkey is the most open country on this issue.

While vast archives spanning over 7 centuries of the Ottoman Empire were classified and opened to scholars for research more than a decade ago, Armenian archives in Erevan, Armenia, and Armenian Revolutionary Federation archives in Boston, USA, still remain closed to this day. Not one of the scholars doing a research in Turkish archives has come up with anything yet, supporting the Armenian allegations. However, the documents which will prove that it was the Armenians who massacred the Turks are all kept under lock in Armenian and Western archives.The British were the closest party to the events of 1915 because they were the principal occupying power of the Ottoman Empire and its capital, Istanbul, and the Ottoman archives during the period from 1915 to 1922.

The British led an international war crimes tribunal on the island of Malta against 144 high Ottoman officials who were charged with war crimes against the Armenians. Subsequently 56 out of the 144 alleged criminals were deported to the Island of Malta to stand a trial. After a wide scale frantic search of all the archival material in the British and the US possession they could not find anything incriminating the detainees. Subsequently all the Ottoman detainees were dismissed of charges and exchanged for the British prisoners in Turkey. And there were no war crimes charges.
Parliament of South Australia's attitude obviously is: “Who cares about the facts? We care about our votes. Armenian voters wanted us to accept the so called genocide and we duly accepted it irrespective of what the truth is.”

Shame on you South Australia!
