would like to mention ;

Have the Turks ever owned any land ? They don't even have a native word for "homeland" , 'fartherland'. "Vatan" is an Arabic word while 'yurt' means originally a nomad's tent or place where this tent or tents are temporarily put up. This meaning is preserved both in Turkish and even better in Russian for obvious reasons.

> But drinking human blood is savagery and dishonourable.<

I agree that Turks don't tend to drink human blood. But it has nothing to do with civilization. When in 1999 Izmit was heavily hit by an earthquake the then Minister of Health Osman Durmuş rejected Greek and other blood donations because the pure higher Turkish blood mustn't be polluted with blood of the inferior races.

Although they don't drink inferior blood the Turks are the more willing to shed it wherever they can. It is how the Kemalists enjoyed the blood of he Metropolitan Bishop of Smyrna whom they tormented to death on 9.09.1922 :

'The mob took possession of Metropolitan Chrysostom and carried him away a little further on, in front of an Italian hairdresser named Ismail. They stopped and the Metropolitan was slipped into a white hairdresser's overall. They began to beat him with their fists and sticks and to spit on his face. They riddled him with stabs. They tore his beard off, they gouged his eyes out, they cut off his nose and ears. (René Puaux, La mort de Smyrne , Paris 1922) He didn't implore mercy from the Kemalist beasts as they were dragging his bleeding body on the pavement. "Kyrie eleyson" was all he kept whispering. A newly Islamized Greek couldn't stand it and shot him dead. It's not known where the Turkish beasts buried the remains of the bishop.

> I wonder what would you say about these two proposals.I will be really disapointed if you reject this proposal :)<

What proposals are you talking about ? Don't you identify yourself with the Kemalist beasts that tortured Chrysostomus to death, exterminated whole nations and reject racially inferior donors' blood as unfit for the great Turks ?
