Re: Armenian hero�s monument opened in Sochi
It is you who made it a big issue and started spreading your Russophobic ideas. You views on Russia are well known, as well as on Serj. If I remember correctly you were the one who supported ltp in 2007/8. Now you are lecturing me about nationalism and geopolitics? And fyi, internal issues can quickly become external ones. Case in point, a street trader lighting himself on fire in January and now we have the so called Arab Spring. I am not saying that this statue issue will become something like that, just pointing out how things are inter related and we should not treat them as if they exist in a vacuum.
I never mentioned the Armenian government making this a foreign policy issue, if anything, the Armenian government suggested that the Armenians of Sochi follow the city order and work with the local government to come to an agreement. As has been stated, Adler, a suburb of Sochi, was chosen as the location. End of story.
Oh, I am glad the statue brought 2 men from a city that had over 25,000 people of Armenian descent. Exceptions do not prove the rule, and there is barely a correlation here either. Let's remember one thing, it was the Armenians of Artsakh that did the vast majority of the fighting and dying, not the big talking diaspora.

It seems like you cannot understand the simple fact that the issue of the statute is a community issue regarding Russian citizens of Armenian descent. By making it bigger than it actually is, it shows your sillyness and you immaturity regarding politics. A few years back there was an issue regarding lowering the US flag in the city of glendale to half-staff in honor of the victims of the Armenian genocide. community members debated the issue passionately. In the end, the city decided against putting lowering the flag to half staff. This was only a community matter. Only an idiot would link this to foreign policy issues, and geo-politics. it is an internal, domestic issue on the community level. The point is, you have no point.
I was the first one here to mention how it was wrong to go ahead with putting it up without approval. that's not the issue here. YOu're mixing up Armenia's foreign policy and interlinking it with ordinary Armenians feelings towards not allowing the statute. That's quite a stupid linkage. Armenia's government is not compromising it's relations with strategic parthner russia over the statute--it is internal russian domestic matters, none of the business of Armenia in the first place.
Obviously, you know nothing about statehood, nationhood. What differeniates nations? What differentiates the Turk from the Armenian? why is it that you even care about Armenia? Nations have national figures. Armenians that led the struggle, gave their lives, so that Armenians can stay Armenian, preserve their faith. These are the very figures responsible for Armenian exeistance. A nation that does not honor the memory of its heroes, those that gave their lives for the nation, is a doomed nation. It is their struggle that we're continuing, otherwise, what are we fighting for anyways?
a statute is perpetuating the memory, and not letting it be forgotten.
let me put it like this, IF A STATUTE IS SO UNIMPORTANT, WHY ARE TURKS SO AGAINST IT? BECAUSE THEY WANT US TO FORGET OUR HEROES, THEY WANT US TO FORGET 'STRUGGLE'.
During the artsakh struggle, author andranig chalabian wrote the book, "Revolutionary figures" as inspiration for Artsakh freedom fighters. he didn't say, "what wil a small thing like a book change." only small minds with no soul and no heart won't understand what it could change.
As for what soghomon tehlerians monument has done, i believe it was not coincidental that the brave city of Fresno produced two great freedom fighters from the diaspora:

), and yet mock the very natives who put their life on the line, faught for, and liberated Armenian territory as being idiots when it comes to politics. You know what, when you become a citizen of Armenia and live there, and put your life on the line defending its boundaries, then and only then will you have any right to voice any opinion whatsoever regarding how best to manage the country. I don't know what Institute of Political Governance Serj Sarkissian earned his phd from, but Serje is a man just like the rest of them and he's got so special gene to make him a politician and the rest idiots.
