A giant spider, cast in concrete - monument to a distortion of history,<br />
Montebello, California. Falsehood turned to stone. It is a monument to<br />
a cruel myth - the myth of the Terrible Turk". Hecatombs o f innocent<br />
people have already been sacrificed on this altar of ultra-nationalistic<br />
sentiment. The reason for spreading the message o f the Terrible Turk<br />
and the war o f liberation is the same now as it was in the nineteenth<br />
century: the establishment o f an Armenian national state in Anatolia, a<br />
place where the Armenians have never in history been in the majority.<br />
Like every fanatical cult, the Armenian version of the myth o f terror<br />
has its own scriptures. These consist of the Documents officiels concer-<br />
nant les Massacres Armeniens, published by Aram Andonian in 1920,<br />
and Franz Werfel's Forty Days o f Musa Dagh, a novel based entirely<br />
on the Andonian documents. The "Documents officiels" are supposed<br />
to prove that the Ottoman government issued a general order to exter<br />
minate the Armenians, but it has been firmly established that these<br />
"documents" were forged from beginning to end. Not even the ring<br />
leaders of the Armenian anti-Turkish campaign dispute this today. The<br />
liturgy o f the Armenian terrorists is limited to the constant, litany-like<br />
repetition of false casualty figures - a difference o f a million or two<br />
one way or the other has never seemed to matter much - and the offer<br />
ing o f human sacrifices. Those selected for these sacrifices include not<br />
only Turkish diplomats, but also historians who fight against the<br />
distortion o f history and wealthy Armenians who refuse to pay their<br />
tribute to the terrorists. But the terror also strikes people who have<br />
nothing whatsoever to do with the conflict. They just happen to get<br />
caught at the scene o f execution o f an Armenian terrorist group.<br />
