Talaat Says Turks Fight For Life

Sound Familiar? One hundred years ago today, in a #AssociatedPress interview, #ArmenianGenocide architect Talaat Pasha argues that the foreign press is misrepresenting the realities in Turkey, and blaming Russia and Great Britain for its entrance into WWI.  Regarding the impending murder of their Christian population, Talaat Bey states that Christians are the enemies of the Mussulman world. “Turkey decided at the outbreak of hostilities just what retaliatory measures she would employ in case the powers of the Triple Entente acted contrary to the regulations set down by international law.” #TheNewYorkTimes, 02/18/1915. #GenocideDiary
