[edit] Comments

[edit] "Jihadist"?

Wasn't it rather extreme nationalism? --HanzoHattori 08:18, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

And apparently can be best explained as "clerical fascism". What? The? Heck? --192.75.48.150 (talk) 21:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Effects on Republic of Turkey: POV and conjecture.

The statements in the final paragraph of this section argue how history may have been, although possibly true they are unsupported here. Gbaddorf 20:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I think that it is actually a minimum-rewrite counterfactual argument. There is little there that cannot have been foreseen. The entry of the Ottoman Empire into the war was a pure, total, and unmitigated disaster for the Ottoman Empire, its minorities, and its majority groups, regardless of how and to what extent should blame for the subsequent events -- including the Pontic, Armenian and Assyrian Genocides -- be apportioned.--193.194.63.129 21:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)--Jackkalpakian 21:36, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
