QUOTE OF THE MONTH

'Historians have been well aware that the Sultans in five centuries were unable to "build" an "Ottoman nation" out of Turks, Arabs, Armenians, Kurds, Greeks etc, the Tsars in several centuries could not "build" a single nation out of Great Russians, Ukranians, Belorussians, Poles, Finns, Georgians etc, nor could the Habsburg Emperor-Kings, in a similar time span, "build" one nation out of Germans, Hungarians, Czechs, Croats etc.’
