The problem for many Turks seems to be that the state told them everything, and they were never allowed (by law) to look at other angles.
The reason why most of the folk says "no we didn't" or "yeah we hell beat it all out of them" is because the state told us NOTHING.

As a general social characteristic of the nation whose history is full of wars in the name of independence but nothing for democratic rights, we expect everything out of the state, the president, the padishah etc. And it ends up like this...
