I am Turkish and I used to love Turkey. Well, I still do, but I am starting to feel more alienated. Looking at our history, especially 1915 onwards, made my question…

I am not, Muslim, I accept Christ, and I know that I will never be accepted in my country.

Anatolia used to be Christian, with the 7 churches of Asia, numerous ecumenical councils, birthplace of numerous saints, but all went to dust after 1915.

I am from a town where it was 50/50 Turkish and Armenian population before 1915 (Agn). I know from my grandpa that Armenians in Agn never revolted, but they were taken out of their homes, shot and then throwed into the Euphrates.

The straw that broke the camel’s back for me was the 6-7 September pogroms, where 73 churches were burnt down. 400 Greek and Armenian women were r*ped according to this Turkish source:

I know that you may never forgive us. I doubt that even I would.
