Are Turks Arab?

[Thracian]

Says balkancels.If i am an armenian then you are a son of a bitch.
The fact is i am the most anti armenoid and nationalist thing you have ever seen in your poor life.I can defend my people(turkish and turkic ones not yours)until the end of the world.
What is an ethnic turk ? Can you describe it ? Balkancell you have no right to talk about it LOL

I did not say you are an Armenian. You had Turkified Caucasian on your meta-ethnicity before.

[PaleoEuropean]

And nothing is changed for Turks. Kurds replaced Armenians and started demanding everything once they did. Armenians were at least crafty people. Eastern Turkey is cursed and has always been a hump on our backs.

Every great nation faces those obstacles, in a lot of ways Mexicans/Indians are our Kurds, except less educated and motivated.

Actually the Christian population in the Ottoman empire was mostly urban and lived in cities.

They envied and hated Christians because they were successful even tho they were officially considered dhimmis by the government and had to pay heavy taxes simply for being Christians. But the Christian Spirit never allowed them to give up that's why they were successful.

The Muslims couldn't stand that despite all the persecution they imposed on Christians they were finally starting to live a more digne life and asking for more rights. That's why that apart from the terrorist Ottoman army, millions of Ottoman Muslim citizens took part in the genocides.

And what are you talking about anti-Jewish pogroms? Jews and Christians lived in the same neighborhoods and faced the same persecution, both were considered dhimmis. Eastern Christians never attacked Jews and vice versa, we are fully aware of our history that Jews are our forefathers. For example, we use the same word for Church and Synagogue in our language.

Jizya was long abandoned in Ottoman Empire by then and Christians were given equal rights through reforms. Christians had their diaspora in Europe who sponsored Ottoman Christians with education and business opportunities.

Was the hatred between Eastern Christians and Turks religious or economic in the 19th and 20th century?

[Synapsid]

Muslims (especially tribal ones) didn't envy Christians but despise them. Christians in Osmania were discriminated due to two reasons: 1) Sharia law obliged them to pay tribute and 2)Turkic traditions consider nomadic conquerors as noble race and sedentary subjects as inferior slaves. Most dignified arts for Turks were war and cattle-herding, most despised - commerce and agriculture. Similar systems were created in India (caste system) and South of USA (White Planters and Black slaves).


Damascus blood libel. And during Byzantine empire Jews has same fate as Christians under Ottomans.

Was the situation for non-circassian North Caucasians living in Tsarist Russia similar to Armenians in late 19th century Ottoman Turkey? Or where Russians more scared and respectful of Mountain tribes?

"muh christian spirit"
They were wealthy because the Turkish state allowed them to. They kept the majority of Muslim population in state-owned rural estates as serfs. Meanwhile they allowed the Christians in towns to grow and prosper so they could milk them. That's where they got their main source of income from. The ethnic cleansings of Christian populations in Anatolia during 1910s was purely economical.

Thanks for admitting that even an Islamic empire cannot properly function without Christians, because someone gotta do all the hard work.

The thing is, the Ottomans didn't kill Christians only in Anatolia. They invaded Persia solely to kill Assyrians there. And imposed famine on Levantine Christians.
