Iranian-Armenian relations

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

Just remember that an Iranian helped find this material for you = Armenian/Iranian Friendship:

"Deportation of and excesses against peaceful Armenians is increasing and from harrowing reports of eye witnesses it appears that a campaign of race extermination is in progress under a pretext of reprisal against rebellion… Protests as well as threats are unavailing and probably incite the Ottoman government to more drastic measures as they are determined to disclaim responsibility for their absolute disregard of capitulations …Suggest you inform belligerent nations and mission boards of this.”

Watch both videos and give your gut feelings, emotions and facts (P.S. I think Ahmadinejad is questioning the denial and cover-up of the Armenian Genocide - listen carefully: in the start he implies a Genocide prior to the Holocaust.)

Well a distinction should be made between soldiers and people who died because of warfare, and innocent people who were specifically targeted and killed. There's a clear difference, Turks often try to haze the killings of Armenia people with the war that was occurring in the region, and attribute Armenian deaths to war rather than specific extermination.

You're supposed to compare the 2 videos. But okay; that's a part of your gut reaction. Click reply to both and add to it, so others can see both later in the thread.

Condelezza Rice is another Turkish ass kissing idiot, I have watched that video, I don't want to watch it again. I'll take Ahmadinejad over Rice any day. Honestly, I think Ahmadinejad answered the question very well - though as I've said above I have some reservation in those ideas.

My gut feeling is that Condoleeza isn't free to speak her mind even though she knows exactly why the U.S. won't legally recognize the Armenian Genocide. "And yes, Turkey is a good A LIE" ~ Condoleeza Rice

I like the look on Ahmadinejad's face He's basically saying "Listen you brainwashed fool, the holocaust isn't the single most significant tragedy in world history."

Not sure who the the larger woman is but the petite one is "Juice". Armenian showbiz, one of the attractions of nightlife I guess.

I guess you can't see this in Iran either, lol.

They should be liquidated. This is what globalization/westernization brings. No thank you!

If a new country was founded on the moon, the U.S. would find a reason to go to war against the moon-people; The U.S. response towards Iran is schizophrenic: they try to cozy and make friends - but their blatant dishonesty shines through and Iranians aren't fooled. The U.S. is starting to do the same against Armenians: I posted a video by a U.S. Congressman comparing Armenia's involvement in the NK war to "Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait" (Who want to remind the Congressman that the U.S. was Saddam's sugar daddy?)

The propaganda against Iran is non-stop. Media like "Iranium" isn't warranted and knowing how susceptible Americans are to propaganda (since most are oblivious to the outside world), there has to be people posting on blogs, news sites and anywhere else where the propaganda can be diminished.

Re: Iranian-Armenian relations

The funny thing is that most or I would say at least 50% of Americans (the educated, thoughtful one- and yes, there are many) see right through the propaganda and pro-Israel, neo-con bias. We don't really see Iran as a threat and know quite well that Iranians are people just like any other.

The problem is that Ahmadinejad is the face of Iran and as outspoken as he is, he does say many idiotic things. There was a real chance for normalization between US and Iran back during the Clinton administration but the mullahs squashed it.

You give westerners too much credit, most are rather uneducated when it comes to middle eastern history.
