Russian news agency reports that Ahmadenijad abruptly left Armenia Tuesday morning. http://www.itar-tass.com/eng/level2....4734&PageNum=0

His schedule today purportedly included visit to Armenian genocide memorial.

He caved into pressure and left most likely, maybe he was threatened

Well, there is pretty broad coverage of the event and wide speculation re: Ahmadenijad's abrupt departure from the ill health of one Iran's elders, to domestic tensions over the change in Iran's nuclear negotiations and pending stress re: upcoming talks in Rome to issues in Iraq.

Asbarez.com is also running a detailed Armenpress article on the event.

And, last but not least Armenian j-ews smack Armenia for honoring Ahmadenijad.

Who says that free speech does not exist in Armenia. Perhaps, Turkish j-ews should move to Armenia, at least then noone will have to worry for them if American j-ews finally do what is right. Or, is Tikkun Olan for everyone except Armenians?

It's interesting how the state of Israel Jooish communitities worldwide can host and honor high ranking denialist Turkish authorities, yet are Armenia, a landlocked small country blockaded to the east and west, is forbidden from, and condemned for, hosting the president of Armenia's only truly friendly and reliable neighbor.

Yes, yes, Artsakh, apparently they believe "Justice, justice, everywhere" except for Armenians.

Re: Iranian president suspends visit to Armenia?

I don't think the Iranian president "denied" the holocaust, their actions are as different then night and day. First, the Iranian president stated a opinion that was mistranslated (It referred to Zionists), second, Armenians abroad are not negotiating with the Iranian state to deny the holocuast in order to further Armenian interests, its a pretty self contained incident, and third, Israel is occupying land and oppressing a people (The Iranian president is just pointing to the two sets of standards, one for Israel and to a extent Turkey and one for everyone else, including Armenians).

Consider these examples, Holocuast deniers have sued or taken to trial almost every possible entity in the chain of events leading to the Holocuast, the state of Israel to this day receives a residual income from the Holocuast from various international sources, and finally, they have made it a point to incorporate this event in the pages of almost every history book in the world. With that being said, it can be considered a act of hypocrisy for any individual person of xxxish ancestory to deny the Armenian Genocide, but it goes beyond the realm of "opinions" when the entire state of Israel and the their lobbies uses the Armenian Genocide as bargaining chip. This in the authors opinion is the same as basically buying the help of Turkey with blood money.

Conversly, the Iranian leader is doing no such, its a self contained episode, furthermore, there hangs no historical events that would question the ethnical responsiblities of the Iranian to any sort of ideal. Essentially, it is a self contained opinion, we have opinions, he had his, but the state of Israel is selling their opinion to Turkey, this is the difference, this is why on the geopolitical level the line has been drawn by Israel and Turkey, not by Armenians.

If the Armenians in Israel protest Israeli actions they do so because Israel considers non xxxs second class citizens, they want them out of Jerusalem, which again is highlights the obsessive nature of the xxxs with their "holy land" when in fact the non xxxish elements of the "holy land" have had presence on the land far longer then xxxs have.

I agree with this statement.

Let me guess, you probably also don't think he said "there are no homos in Iran," right? or was that also "mistranslated"? Y'all jew hating, Araba-Armenians really make me laugh at times.
