Gökçek’s post is as follows:
“Ottoman 1914 census…
At that time, there were 3,353,825 Greeks, Jews and Armenians in the Ottoman Empire…
18.22% of the population…
Turkey’s population in 2024 is 85,372,377…
If we take the same rates as basis, there are currently 15,554,847 Greeks, Armenians and Jews in Türkiye…
I want to meet them in Turkey…
No one can be condemned for being a Greek, an Armenian or a Jew by race. But just as Syrian, Afghan or Turkmen are known by their name, race and identity, we also have the right to recognize them with their identities.
An urgent law should be passed by the Turkish Grand National Assembly and people’s real identities should be recorded on their identity cards…
I believe that just as Turks are proud of their Turkishness,
Greek with his Greekness,
With Armenian Armenianness,
The Jew will boast of his Jewry…
What do you think, tweet world?
Yeni Akit newspaper also quoted Gökçek’s post and supported this discrimination with the following words: “99 percent of Turkey was known as Muslims. However, there are millions of Greeks, Armenians, Jews and Sebatayists among us. These citizens, whom we know as Turks and Muslims, are with us on every issue.” “They have the same status. These people we see on TV screens teach us lessons about country, nation and faith, and we believe their appearance and value their words.”
It was noteworthy that Gökçek ignored the oppression, massacre, pogrom and kidnapping policies applied to all non-Muslims starting from 1915 and before.
Among the communities that have been turned into a minority, the most ‘crowded’ population in Turkey is Armenians, with approximately 50 thousand people. The population of Greeks has fallen to 2 thousand.
