Re: Re: Caucasus Chronicles
Ok, I borrowed this book from that armenian family in Montreal you know veeeery well , and as you know, they would not buy a book that is clearly anti-tashnag. Does that give him more credibility?
This man (the ambassador) is a respected diplomat (now serving as Greece's Ambassador to Canada), and was just as critical of the Ter Petrosyan administration.
The reason why I said the part about Maroukhian was "most interesting" (as in very interesting, and not the most interesting) was because I found it bothersome that Maroukhian was aware of the whole situation, and chose to do nothing. Will you also tell me I'm crazy if I say that the ARF and the government did not cooperate too well in Armenia's first years of independance? Is that another taboo subject that we aren't allowed to discuss?
Hairenaser? I'm sure he was: he wouldn't have been the head of the ARF otherwise. In this particular situation, however, he failed to act, and it bothered me.
Once again, I am neither hnchag, tashnag, chootag, nothing.
I have given credit to the ARF where it deserved (ie organizing the armenian resistance back in the Ottoman empire days), but a political party and its figures should not be immunized against criticism. You and dstyle BOTH REFUSE to believe that Maroukhian was aware of the situation. It's as if it's illegal to question the actions of any politician affiliated with the ARF.
dstyle said I was on crack, as if I pulled this out of my derrière, and you still think I'M the one that should know better?
Come on...vor tare gabrink?
Originally posted by jahannam now now baron, that's not nice.
the fact that this guy is an embassador doesn't make his stories unbiased.
now, I know nothing about this guy or what political party he belongs to. but since the letting Tashnagtsoutyoun and its leaders down is the most interesting part of his book, then I'm guessing that was the goal of his book, therefore that he belongs to an anti-Tashnag political party.
You accuse dstyle of having been "brainwashed by his dad", yet you leave away the fact that you might as well be raised (or should I say "brainwashed"?) under different political influences.(i.e. the hnchag lense)
and your "Had Maroukian not died already, I would have killed him myself." proves that!
from his speeches to books and articles written about him, I think Maroukhian is one of the most hairenaser people ever existed.
but I'm not gonna get into that right now.
we can either choose to be mature "everyone does it their own way" patriotic Armenians, or we can start threads bashing other Armenian political parties.
come on now.
