Serdar Argic does not represent Turks!

Argic is the continuation of Hasan Mutlu who began posting in September of
1988. When Hasan Mutlu began posting, it soon became clear we were reading the
UseNet manifestation of the Turkish Foreign Ministry. The postings of Mutlu
mirrored entry-for-entry an anti-Armenian series aired on Radio Turkey called
the _Armenian File_. Not only were the topics the same between Mutlu and the
Voice of Turkey, but the topic of the last airing of this _Armenian File_ was
predicted after reading the postings of Mutlu, because we always read the
posting on UseNet BEFORE we heard it on Radio Turkey.
In late April/early May of 1991, the Turkish Ambassador to the then USSR was
in [Soviet] Armenia for several weeks, during which time ALL anti-Armenian
propaganda, outside of Turkey, was ordered suspended by the Turkish government.
Alas, Mutlu's postings stopped, but then started up again when the ban was
lifted.
When Ahmet Cosar, who runs Argic's machine, felt as though he was threatened
by a Greek, Cosar received Turkish secret police protection. [Note: if
provoked, I can find the public posting by that Greek and re-post it]. This
event was posted in a public article on UseNet and was not refuted by Cosar.
Now, I might agree that Cosar-Mutlu-Argic have made more enemies among Turks
than with anybody else, but basically C-M-A is still a Turkish governmental-
sponsored anti-Armenian propaganda campaign gone bad.
If we are to believe the Turkish government, or any other Turks, have nothing
to do with C-M-A project, the following story would tend to negate such a
thesis. This story was conveyed to me by a friend of mine. He told me of a
fellow named David Davidian [not me] who wanted to travel through Turkey to
get to Armenia in late 1992. This Davidian lived in the Los Angeles area. He
went to a Turkish consulate to apply for a visa to travel through Turkey, for
he was not a full US citizen. The Turkish consulate staff asked this Davidian
if he knew of a David Davidian in Boston, if he was related to any Davidians
in Boston, if he knew any Davidians in Boston, if he had been to Boston, if
he knew anybody who knew a Davidian in Boston, etc. etc. This person was
bewildered about this Davidian from Boston. When my friend [a reader of
UseNet] heard this story, in person, he subsequently explained the situation
regarding the Davidian from Boston.
The Turkish government is clearly involved in this failed mechanism of anti-
Armenian and anti-Greek revisionism. It's no wonder a Turk would distance
themselves from such a pack of fanatics!
