Dear Google,

I am disgusted to see that http://www.talatpasaharekati.org/ is listed as a “Sponsored Link” at Google. While Googling “talaat pasha,” the link is shown under “Sponsored Links.”

The Turkish website you are advertising belongs to some nationalist Turks ("Talaat Movement"), who are planning to honor Talaat pasha, the main organizer of the Armenian Genocide, in Berlin this month.


from the hatesite

I am not sure whether it is Google’s policy to advertise hatesites and offend the memory of over one million people who were killed by Talaat Pasha (who is usually referred to as the Turkish Hitler), so I hope that it is lack of knowledge of Turkish language that has led Google to advertise the sponsored link.

I very much hope that the “sponsored link” will be immediately removed from Google and followed by a letter of apology.


Kindest regards after the removal of the link,
