Cenk Uygur Answers Tough Questions About His Past

THANK YOU. It mocks Armenians, assyrians and greeks because during the 1915 genocide all those three groups killed off from their region and displaced from their homes by the Ottoman empire and the young turks. That's how Turkey came to be this huge country, it's occupied Western Armenia, northern Assyria, Eastern greek as well as northern Kurdistan.

[@gozdea5548]

@@Sheaiskl That is exactly what they are saying. couple of days ago serj Tankian wrote an instagram post saying "...ottoman t*rks.." . Of course he quickly fixed it to "Ottoman Empire" . But the collective aim is trying to associate n*zi with turk. Thats why instead of using the party name " Union and Progress Party" they are deliberately using english version of anti-monarcy (anti-Sultan Abdulhamit II) liberative rebellious movement name of "Jeunes Turcs". Even in Turkish, we use the French version. In Turkish when some says "genc türkler" everybody will understand like turkish people who are young and rebel...etc. But if you say "jön türkler" they first thinks poets and writers like Namik Kemal, Ziya Gokalp, Ali Suavi..etc and after years this movement centralized under CUP, and later UPP. The think they are doing is criminalizing an ethnic group (Turk), supporting “collective guilt” which is unconstitutional, violates Americans’ 1st amendment rights.

So... Ana's working for a company called the "The Young Turks", which was founded by a Turkish man who was so proud of his Turkish history and heritage that it inspired him to select the name of his organization. Unsurprisingly this man originally denied the Armenian genocide, later to change his mind but not change the name of the group, but to show he "cares" he hires an Armenian token. That would be like the modern KKK hiring a single black person with the effort to basically rebrand and reimage.

[@Lobos222]

+LIB. THAT is not accurate. The reason GG WAS an issue, before he about a year ago addressed it AGAIN! Is because he held that stance for MOST of TYT active years. After which it came out and was given focus and in turn Cenk came up with the weakest response ever. Which more or less, and I a am not kidding, sounded like someone who denied the holocaust. After that he was over time from hes own given so much shit that he eventually changed hes stance in ONE clear video. Since that video it hasnt been explained well, but maybe mentioned in a quick jab a few times. So the "one hundredth time" is not factual tbh. Has Cenk changed hes stance? Yes Did Cenk change hes stance because hes running? No, he changed it a year or so ago, I think. Has Cenk explained hes changed stance a hundred times? No.

Nationalism was on the rise and many countries including Greeks, Bulgarians and Turks wanted an independent country, Without other minorities. Regardless of the fact that nationalism did not exist among all Armenians. The Armenians were still loyal to the Turkish people. Nevertheless, they were punished with total destruction, because Turks felt threaten. The ethnic suppression of Armenians was too overwhelming resulting in the Hamadian killings in 1894 - 1896 (300,000 Armenians slaughtered) and in Adana 1909 (30,000 Armenians slaughtered). Armenian were heavily suppressed and threated as second class civilians, forcing Armenian groups e.g. Dashnaks and Hunhacks to form an resistance to protect the Armenians and to side with the Russians. While 60 thousand loyal Armenians fought alongside with the Turkish Army and even saved Enver Pasha’s life during the war, by carrying his wounded body to safety.

If only he looked at context when he wants to slam someone else about their 10 year old tweets that were OBVIOUSLY jokes. But when that happens everything is out the window and everything is literal.

[@ralphburnette]

Cenk, given your past comments on things like touching dozens of women while drinking and sending “dick pics”, can you assure us that there will be no issues or scandals related to sexual assault or sexual harassment with your campaign? I like what you have to say, but I’m genuinely worried that there may be something out there given your past behavior. I campaigned for Katie and I don’t want to get burned.

[@ralphburnette]

Ian Ford Trump lost the popular vote by a significant margin. There’s no electrical college to save Cenk if he does have the same kind of baggage as Trump. He should really, really address his past regarding how he has talked about and treated women before moving forward. I hate to think that we have a severely under vetted candidate who is sucking up all the fundraising dollars and attention.

Its good to see people grow and learn from their mistakes. At least he can admit them.

@Done Lostme 1- David Duke hasnt and will never do it 2- David Duke was part of the KKK and is a renowned racist. 3- His whole career is based on this. This is not the same as having a wrong opinion about something years ago because you have false information. Cenk is Turkish so there was biased involved. Duke was is not a german to be biased. He doesnt even believe in the natives genocide. Not same at all.

[@paultokjian7915]

@Done Lostme Stupid post. You dont know any of that and its bizarre that you do not know that democrats and progressives are the ones that acknowledged the Genocide recently and its the conservatives that deny it. Conservative hypocrisy at its finest. "Christian" American always in love with a radical islamist country over the first christian country on earth. Those damn non white Orthodox Armenians right?

Record Label Young Turks Has Changed Its Name in Recognition of the Armenian Genocide British record label Young Turks has changed its name after acknowledging the term’s connections to the genocide of Armenians and Assyrians carried out in the early 20th century. Many of the real life “Young Turks” worked with the Committee of Union and Progress as it gained power in the Ottoman Empire and carried out policies including genocide and expulsion. ... www.lamag.com/culturefiles/young-turks-record-label-name-change/ I think TYT could be headed that way too.

You have not changed a bit Cenk.

[@ThisIsntFine]

Best of luck. Growing and changing yourself is a very hard thing to do. Let alone admitting it as it goes against our sense of self preservation on a psychological level. It proves your strong and a step above.

[@consciouscrypto3090]

This is the problem with being politically active early in life. Young people don't have much life experience. They have immature viewpoints and are easily swayed by propaganda. I recall being 15, watching a late night show about the USSRs missiles and writing to Sen. Helms to urge him to increase the US's defense budget so we could catch up to them in missiles. I also had some political positions in college that I'm still proud of to this day, but it could have easily gone the other way had I been exposed to different people at that time. We need to start valuing the idea that people change their minds as they experience life and mature their opinions. That's a good thing.
