>I would like to hear that as well. I've read a few sites on the web, but frankly, you can't trust the web as being the view of the majority. I don't know about all of them, but I do know (from Metin's posts) that Turkey teaches in school that the Armenian genocide didn't happen and you can read in the message link I posted above what the Turkish formal historical view of Turkey/Bulgaria is (I guess that should be Ottoman).
AFAIK, they are teached that the events are not classified as genocide, rather than that they'd never took place.
What bothers me most here, is the attitude of "You have no right to critisize the US, because your past or helped you out in WWII or whatever reason". Sometimes an argument is countered with the delibered search of arguments (digging) about the other country, its afairs, without actually understanding the context, background or even credibility.
It is just a matter that your culture and politics are heavily exported to the rest of the world. The rest of the world has a pretty good grasp on the american culture, politics and history. The reverse however is not true.
