Turkish Armed Forces In Korean War Options

[Mordoth]

4500 soldiers in the middle of the firing line have known how to create miracle. The sacrifices of the Turks will eternally remain in our minds."

Washington Tribune


"The courageous battles of the Turkish Brigade have created a favorable effect on the whole United Nations Forces."

Time



"The surprise of the Korean battles were not the Chinese but the Turks. It is impossible at this moment to find a word to describe the heroism which the Turks have shown in the battles."

Abent Post



"The Turks have shown in Kunuri a heroism worthy of their glorious history. The Turks have gained the admiration of the whole world through their glorious fighting in the battles."

Figaro



"The Turks who have been known throughout history by their courage and decency, have proved that they have kept these characteristics, in the war which the United Nations undertook in Korea."

Burner - U.S. Congressman



"There is no one left who does not know that the Turks, our valuable allies, are hard warriors and that they have accomplished very great feats at the front."

Claude Pepper, U.S. Senator



"I now understand that the vote I gave in favor of assistance to Turkey was the most fitting vote I gave in my life. Courage, bravery and heroism are the greatest virtues which will sooner or later conquer. In this matter, I know no nation superior to the Turks."

Rose - U.S. Senator



"While the Turks were for a long time fighting against the enemy and dying, the British and Americans were withdrawing. The Turks, who were out of ammunition, affixed their bayonets and attacked the enemy and there ensued a terrible hand to hand combat. The Turks succeeded in withdrawing by continuous combat and by carrying their injured comrades on their backs. They paraded at Pyongyang with their heads held high."

G.G. Martin - British Lieutenant General



"The Turkish forces have shown success above that expected in the battles they gave in Korea."

General Collings - Commander US Army



"We owe the escape of thousands of United Nations troops out of a certain encirclement to the heroism of the Turkish soldiers. The Turkish soldiers in Korea have added a new and unforgettable page of honor to the customs and legends of heroism of the Turkish nation."

Emanuel Shinwell - U.K. Minister of Defense



"The heroic soldiers of a heroic nation, you have saved the Eighth Army and the IX'th Army Crops from encirclement and the 2nd Division from destruction. I came here today to thank you on behalf of the United Nations Army."

General Walton H. Walker, Commander, Eighth Army



"The Turks are the hero of heroes. There is no impossibility for the Turkish Brigade."

General Douglas MacArthur - United Nations Forces Commander in Chief

you are absolutely right, how dumb of us armenians, we do talk too muchwith no action, tell you what, we will do what you did, genocide minorities on our land, post soldiers in random places, and then we can talk some more.

But we never mess the places where our army is placed.

do you REALLY want to bet on that? (mm..cyprus, armenia, kurdistan, assyria, greece, crimea, bulgaria, arabia....)

And you have armies in Turkish lands , KARABAG ( which you call in an Caucasian Albanian word " Artsah " ) and we have 1+ million refugees now. icon_sad.gif This is the way you protect peace. (!)

lol mordoth, you seem to be demonstrating an interest for caucasian albania lately, are you going to claim that they are turks too? like the hittites? meanwhile, how would artsakh be an albanian name? since it is a composite word of 2 armenian words. tsakh being an archaic, (but still used, as i have whitnessed) term for forest, and agh is green.

in ancient times, both albanians and armenian alternately controlled the territory, till the persians weakened albania so much that they eventually murged with armenia as a princepality.
needless to say, your argument is groundless, because first you are hinting that artsakh is an albanian land, but you still state that it is turkish..something which is really hard to explain, since turks have only been living there for the past 150 years..

once again, there are 1 million refugees in the conflict, that number includes 400 000 armenians, and 600 000 azeris..but for some reason azeris never mention that. and this IS the way we protect peace, when we know it is threatened by people who commit sumgait, baku, mardakerts...

Who are you that gotta tell me what we have done ?
On whose lands ? LoL , you may mean Turkish territories, don't be stupid and deflect the issue up to your own.

do you REALLY want to bet on that? (mm..cyprus, armenia, kurdistan, assyria, greece, crimea, bulgaria, arabia....)

As if you have seen what happened at all.
What is kurdestan ? Where is it ? You start to tell it too much , it is like the new-coming Armenian trick

Art-Saagh ; is an Albanian word.

Some Caucasian Albanians may have been mixed with Turks ,but they are Caucasoid, non-Turks of course.But many of them had been Armenian or Georgian.

in ancient times, both albanians and armenian alternately controlled the territory, till the persians weakened albania so much that they eventually murged with armenia as a princepality.

I know history of the Caucasus, thanks for extra information , however all my purpose by reminding the word " Artsagh " was that even the name of the region is NOT ARMENIAN. It is " GHARA - BAGH " ( Dark Orchard )

LoL , for 150 years

once again, there are 1 million refugees in the conflict, that number includes 400 000 armenians, and 600 000 azeris..but for some reason azeris never mention that. and this IS the way we protect peace, when we know it is threatened by people who commit sumgait, baku, mardakerts...

1 Million refugees in Baku, living in bad-living conditions.

LoL , there are 143 Armenian churches in Turkiye despite ARmenians are not that populated. But how many mosques remained in my GUMRU ?
