Video - Turkish Humanity in War: A Story of Compassion and Civilization

"I was also very curious about this situation. Because the following incident took place: A while ago, during a battle in Çanakkale, two officers and five or six wounded soldiers whom we had captured were treated by the Turks. A place close to where this treatment was carried out. There were Germans whose wounds were almost recovering in the ward. As soon as these German soldiers realized that the people being treated were British, they immediately attacked. Turkish doctors and their assistants could not stop them. However, the Turkish wounded, seeing this situation, marched on the Germans and stopped them. "While they wanted to burn and destroy, I was amazed at the humanity they showed." Upon these words of the Minister of War, another minister took the floor and said: "If he solves this issue, the Count will solve it..." "Sir, this issue is simple. We Europeans cannot be as civilized as the Turks during the war. This is true. However, there is a very important reason for the truth. There is: We Europeans thought two centuries ago that there was a law of war between belligerents. To this day, we are trying to develop and establish this law of war. Islam, on the other hand, codified this right in a very high way 13 centuries ago. Turks have been moralized by the provisions of this religious law for a thousand years." The last few words show that the Westerners, who have labeled the Ottoman Empire as imperialist and genocidal, are undoubtedly the most fair in the face of their abundant display from past to present of genocide, let alone colonialism, that has not even been seen in the Ottoman Empire. dated the decision.
