Lebanon summons Turkish ambassador after president raised Ottoman era atrocities

September 03

BEIRUT: Lebanon summoned the Turkish ambassador on Tuesday over a war of words relating to atrocities carried out during the Ottoman empire.

Beirut has been angered by a statement from the Turkish foreign ministry issued in response to a speech by President Michel Aoun, which referred to violence and killing during the Ottoman occupation of what became the state of Lebanon.

Hakan Cakil was ordered to attend the foreign ministry and asked for “clarifications about the statement and for clear correction of the mistake made by the Turkish side, to avoid misunderstanding and in preservation of the special bilateral ties.”

Speaking on Saturday to mark the centennial of the formation of Greater Lebanon, Aoun referred to the “state terror practiced by the Ottomans against the Lebanese, especially during World War I.”

He said there had been “hundreds of thousands of victims between famine, conscription and forced labor, without omitting the gallows through which they wanted to annihilate the spirit of emancipation and rebellion.”

On Sunday, the Turkish foreign ministry issued an angry response, accusing Aoun’s speech of being “baseless and biased.” It also said “terror” had not taken place under Ottoman rule.

The row comes shortly after a visit to Lebanon by the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

Lebanon belongs to Syria I hope Syria annex this useless country. Syria can use Ottoman claims that Lebanon is a fake *** country and absorb it.

Their flag is a christmas tree how embarassing LOL

President of Lebanon is a maronite faggot who are actually Arabs in denial and constantly larp about how they are Pheonician when its proven they are actually descendant of Christian Arabs.

Now, Pagan Arabs is making a aliance with chiristian arabs against Ottomans

 

[Nein]

Funny how these lebanese faggots dont even bother to condemn the Allies which actually made the famine possible with a naval blockade.

Conscription??? Omg that is a genocide am I right.

What makes it even more insulting this christfag claims the Ottomans practiced state terror for 400 years if so these Lebanese faggots would not be getting self rule for centuries instead the Ottomans would be ruling them directly. Logic thrown out of the window.

Stupid christfags we dont need you to love our empires but stop the bullshit lies. Afterall their stupid bible orders them to lie and cheat when it comes to non christians.

[Timur]

typical ME arab.. what retards.. we should let them go down... but this collerates with what I saw here in germany..

nowadays israel, us and saudi are on a game against iran.. they have their eyes on everyone supporting iran and like I said many times lebanon is on a hit list..


our turkish guys should do it like I do.. those events need to be saved on our computers.. copy paste it somewhere you will definitivly need it

and than some idiotic turks do act like jews are worser.. jews didnt take land from turks..

 

[CAN_TR]

We should distance us as much as we can from this "Arab-Israeli-Iranian politics".

 

[Timur]

I think you'll find that Iran hijacked Lebanon and Lebanese politics with its proxy Hezbollah. Iran vows to 'export its revolution'. Iran is a militaristic, imperialist regime that interferes in multiple countries, one of which is Lebanon.

That's why it's "on a hit list".

iran didnt hijack anything this are two guys in one body..

lebnan should be out of our interest (they farted much in history also last year there was embargo to turkish products on on the agenda and before that much worser things happened ) ..

lebnan is split, or lets say like a coin with two sides.. (Saud and _Iran) nothing for turkey to gain from..
