8 - Turkey still under threat of dismemberment from Russia through Orthodox Christian Armenia

Greater Armenia versus Kurdistan

(The greatest threat for Turkey and Greece are the Muslim Kurds, the fierce mountaineers  used by the Ottomans at the turn of the 20th century to slaughter the civilized Christian Armenians in the valley, the beloved millet in the Ottoman Empire, and stop the Russian drive towards the Mediterranean Sea. For the time being Putin uses Turkey as an ally against NATO but this is against hundreds of years of Russian History of descent through the Caucasus toward the warm Mediterranean Sea. Armenia is traditionaly in good terms with Iran, contrary to the Kurds who have invaded the Turkish coast of the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas, replacing Greeks and Armenians and have endangered the civilization of the Ottoman Empire along with the Sunni Arabs. Israel interested in controlling the waterways of Mesopotamia should not support the Kurds but instead the Armenians who occupy the valleys of the same Mesopotamian area. Already after 750 A.D, in Bagdad, the Sunni Arabs seized to have any presence as they were replaced by the open-minded Persians of the "Thousand and one Nights". Dimiti Kitsikis)



8 - Turkey still under threat of dismemberment from Russia through Orthodox Christian Armenia

The warriors were from Eastern Armenia, fighting for centuries wars with Turks and Persians, and guardians of the Byzantine borders. They entered the Byzantine nobility through the military. They lost at Manzikert deep in Armenian territory. Later in WW1 and the Russian invasion into the Ottoman empire, they allied themselves with the Russians. The biggest and bloodiest Ottoman defeat in WW1 was at Sarikamis under a Russian Armenian army. Had there not been the Bolshevik revolution and Russia prevailed under the Czarthis would have added to Persian Eastern Armenia, Ottoman Armenia to the Mediterranean – a tremendous Russian victory for their empire that would have deeply upset the Western Powers. It would have been an extension Russian Armenia taken by the Czar from Persia in the earlier Caucasian wars.

Eastern Armenia independent is closely dependent on the Russian Federation and part of their greater economic zone for which the Western powers intervened and removed the Ukraine and is in dispute with Russia once again over the Crimea.

The wealthy Ottoman Armenian business community were diaspora in Constantinople, Black Sea and Egypt. The Gulbenkian family controlled the oil business in the Ottoman Empire. They developed this originally from Georgia and the Caspian Sea with other Armenians. They also had interests in Syria. After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, they moved to London and sold their interests to BP under the Protectorates that the Western powers carved out of the Ottoman middle east. Gulbenkian became Mr 5% because he retained 5% of his former Ottoman holding sold to BP.

The same applies to the Greek diaspora in the Ottoman empire. They controlled 95% of the trading companies in Constantinople. They were everywhere in the Black Sea, Egypt, etc.

When you consider the rubble of modern Greece, excepting the Greek shipping community, this is really a sad mess today…
