Armenian-Indian relations

Re: Armenian-Indian relations

I wonder how Pakistan would have behaved in regards to Armenian issues if it also had a sizable Armenian community, like Syria, Lebanon, etc.

Not very well. Unlike Syria, Lebanon and Iran, the Pakistanis are extremely anti-Christian. Not a day goes by that Christians are not killed, harassed, wrongfully imprisoned in Pakistan and this is not exaggeration or hyperbole. It is also the Pakistani secret services (and much of the general population) that supports the Taliban in Afghanistan. I have a very good friend from college who lived in Peshawar (a sh*thole if there ever was one) and Islamabad for one year as part of an overseas work assignment for his company in 2005. He's a tough kid and not one to complain but he described it is a Pakistan as one step above hell (a maybe one realm within its outer-circle). Thankfully he was able to head over to Dubai occasionally for R&R

Re: Armenian-Indian relations

Pakistanis and Afghans tried in 1994....it didn't end well for them or Azerbaijan for that matter.

They seem still bitter about that, lol.
I don’t know which is worst......the fact that they hate Armenians but they are really not sure why, or their constant kissing up to Turks without dignity. The second one is harder to watch
I can understand the Afghanistan but man, Pakistan is one screwed up country.

I thought Azerbaijan hired Afghan mujaheddin, but no Pakistanis

Ordinary Pakistanis (even if they have heard of Armenia) will only know about it through possible anti-Christian propaganda. It is easy to brainwash simple, illiterate people

Bangladesh is more tolerant than Pakistan, and it had (and probably still has) an Armenian church.

Afghanistan is said to have had a large Armenian population in the 18th century

What is interesting is that Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have not recognized North Cyprus

No country except Turkey recognizes North Cyprus.

Azerbaijan was flirting with the idea of recognizing TRNC then realized there are similarities with NKR, being breakaway region etc.

There are also big differences, thats a subject for another thread except to say Turks in Cyprus were never regionally populated nor there was a Turkish region.

Turkey was very disappointed

For the same reason Azerbaijan does not support Kosovo independence.

Bangladesh also suffered from genocide at the hand of Pakistan.

That’s true, officially there were Afghani and Chechen Mujahideens but in reality what came to fight in Artsakh was Wahabists with included some Paki fighters as well.........Don’t know if it is true but at least they themselves don’t seem to deny it.

Yes, they back off quick onces challenged but some of them are really dedicated to Turkish brotherhood to the point of being more agressive than Turks.

Re: Armenian-Indian relations

in spite of Pakistan having taken an unfriendly position, and in spite of Armenia herself being a poor country I hope the Armenian Government has sent some assistance to the Pakistani flood victims, maybe in co-ordination with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus.

With 20 million people displaced, the pakistani floods must be one of the worst disasters in recent world history. Most of the victims are the poorest, who in normal times would struggle to survive on a day to day basis. By giving some help now, Armenia would be signalling to the Pakistani masses that she is not their enemy.

I hope India has sent some help too, in spite of the 'Cold War' that exists between the two countries

Someone correct if I'm wrong but I believe Pakistan doesn't even recognize Armenia's independence. You can't send aid to a country that doesn't even recognize your independence.

India sent aid, Armenia didnt

India offered $25 million for provision of relief material for the victims of the massive floods. Further aid as required can be arranged, with a National Disaster Management Force in place, India finds it easier to respond for channelizing aid. Also, there are nearly 400 Indian doctors, who are waiting for the Pakistan government's nod for visas to help flood victims. India has supplied first consignment of 25 truck-loads of Indian potato to Pakistan.

Im glad Armenia hasnt sent aid considering the fact that they havent even recognized Armenia's independence.
