Dear Sir,

In Germany there are living 9 millions people of Turkish origin and when I realise the conditions in the city (especially concerning the women) after 25 years of living in our country they are not able (or willing) to speake one German sentence properly. So your arguing about language in this context is really stupid. As I can see you are living in USA. Please ask a normal US-man how many foreign languages he is able to read or write. As a well educated man you don`t have to blame other people that they can`t read Turkish language!!!! So I realise that you have very good informations and please be so kind to translate them into English (!), so that everyone in the forum benefits from it. I have a lots of friends in Istanbul who share my hobby about Ottoman-Turkish Navy, but I never heard such a nonense from them.

About Mahsusa-Teskilat I only can state that they were no "special army force" , but the organization of the Ottoman state which fought and killed the Armenian citizens in your country. I really know that this is not reckognized by official Turkish sources, but it is the true. Ottoman Army was out of scope , but this organization was officially supported by the Government.

Best regards,
jochen

9 million Turks in Germany?
Why need to learn German language?

Teskilat-ı Mahsusa had done a good job!.

Teskilat-ı Mahsusa hat gut gemacht Junge!

There is a Turkish saying " Hey Cooking pot your buttom is darker and smoky then mine."

Dear Mr. Saral,

I don`t know why you react in this behaviour to my message to Chavusch. But concerning YAVUZ SULTAN SELIM please find the following explanation to you theory:

1. She didn`t FLED, but ESCAPED in a very good manor from all the Allied forces in the Mediterranean. She was then under German flag. So no need need for a Turk to feel sorry about that.

2. YAVUZ was never at the Dardanelles campaign in 1915, but was damaged during the operations in 1918.

3. What shall a single vessel do during the Sevastopol raid against the whole Imperial Russian Navy. Sink all of them !?

4. The reason why the Ottoman Empire entered the war was not GOEBEN, but the secret arrangements between Enver Pasa with the German Government. This is proofed by a lots of international sources.

Why should 9 millions Turks in Germany should learn German ? It is very simple: They want to live hear and so you have to learn language of the country. They want to work and benefit and so this is only normal. Ask Danish people and others about that ! So in a forum of that one should write in a common Language. Although my English is worse I always try. Why is it not possible for this Chavusch man, although he lives in USA ?

About Teskilat-ı Mahsusa:

First of all don`t call me „Junge“. You don`t know who I am and how old I am ! On the other hand they were simply governmental used murders! So you say “well done” to a SS-man !? I really know that the Turkish community except some very rare and educated individuals are still have a lot of problems with those genocides carried out in 1914-1915. About your very strange Turkish saying I have to state that I didn`t get exactly the meaning of those words, but in case that there is a connection with the damned 3 rd Reich I can state that we as Germans made our leasons, but I think a lots of Turks not!

Regards,
Jochen

Because of your absurd sentence:
"About Mahsusa-Teskilat I only can state that they were no "special army force" , but the organization of the Ottoman state which fought and killed the Armenian citizens in your country. I really know that this is not reckognized by official Turkish sources, but it is the true. Ottoman Army was out of scope , but this organization was officially supported by the Government".

So you say “well done” to a SS-man !?
No I dont say. SS-man murdered innocent kids, girls, young women, old men. Teskilat-ı Mahsusa were never been murders.

My strange sentance " Hey Cooking pot your buttom is darker and smoky then mine" means that your history is more blody and dark then ours.

We as Germans made our leasons, but I think a lots of Turks not!

No lesson ever can clean your hands. We, Turks, need not to take a lesson because we are no murderers.
