New evidence shows Turkey delivered food to Ireland during the famine

So that means Turkey and Ireland are Brothers ( In Arms ) ?

Er ah, wasn't the worst of the famine on the western seaboard. Shouldn't the Sultan have instructed his shipment there? Drogheda sounds like one of those ports Seanmor was talking about doing the exporting

Bythebay: "Their sacrifice will never be forgotten." You're a fool. Of course their "sacrifice"--whatever that was--is forgotten. What normal person ever thinks of these people? Are you crazy? But a lot of us haven't forgotten all the Turks they murdered. The Turks didn't come to attack Ireland. But stupid Irish went to Turkey to attack Turkey. You're just racist garbage, Bythebay.

Interesting to see the statement there are no ships records from the Port of Drogheda during the Famine. Another article by Irish Central claimed Drogheda had the most ships depart during the Famine, of course there are no records supporting that.

The Ottoman Empire joined WWI on the side of Germany and the Central Powers. It bombed the Russian Black Sea ports. The Allies declared war on it. Great Britain and Ireland were Allied countries as was the United States. Tens of thousands of Irish men fought bravely in that war and tens of thousands died. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Why would Irish people want to kill Turks? Yet in 1914 thousands of Irishmen volunteered to join an army which a year or two later ordered them to kill young men from Turkey. What stupid fools those Irish were! And even today, a century later, we have Irish stupid fools who try to venerate them as heroes! Idiots!

Famine-Genocide makes no mind when you died of the causes!

"The Ottoman Sultan Abdul Madjd Khan sent £1,000 on Wednesday, March 31, 1847, to Dublin Castle. He wished to send “more” but was advised that he had to send less than Queen Victoria, who had sent £2,000." So typical of the selfish, heartless, prejudice of the day...let some more poor people starve to death, rather than show up the queen’s pitiful donation.

it was genocide not a famine. the food we produced was taken to England to feed the new industrial workers.

I have been reading an interesting book entitled "The Oottoman Centuries: The Rise and Fall of the Turkish Empire" by Lord Kinross. On the first page of chapter 32 of this book is the following concerning Sultan Adbul Mejud; 'If Sultan Adbul Mejid did not inherit the high capacities of hi father Mahmud, he at least showed his own good intentions..... So mild in manner and delicate in frame as to become known as the "gentlest of Sultans",he was nerveless a thoughtful and serious youth.' Sultan Adul Mejid ruled from 1839 till his death in 1861.

Thanks to the Turks for their kindness in delivering food to the starving Irish when all of their country was under British rule. Irish Famine Relief was also provided by another unexpected source; the CHOCTAW tribe of Native Americans. These poor people held a funrdaiser 1847 and collected $170 for the Irish Famine victims. Any mention of the Famine reminds one that all through the late 1840s, many shiploans of grain, cattle, pigs, sheep and poultry sailed out of Iteland while over one million died of starvation.
