Bashar al-Assad, Syria and the Armenian people

Re: Bashar al-Assad, Syria and the Armenian people

RIP pisses me off watching our young men die - time for me to practice my shooting again.

The only purposeful shooting practice would be one aiming to place a bullet through the head of a certain president. He and his predecessor engineered the ongoing genocide of Syria's Armenians, and the completed genocide of Iraq's Armenians. In 1921 Soghomon Tehlirian killed Taalat Pasha for much the same thing, and effectively argued it was justified. What a wonderful thing if someone had the courage to repeat that act, and the good fortune to survive doing it and to then be able to explain why it needed to be done. Those two are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands, probably millions. Yet not one father of a killed son, or husband of a killed wife, or mother of a killed child has acted. I do not understand why none have.

I haven't heard exact details but Idlib is the most dangerous province in all of Syria. Besides the capital Idlib city and a few other pockets, the majority of the province is under rebel control as it shares a border with Turkey.

From Vrej's funeral.


The bearded soldier is another Armenian from Aleppo who has served in the army for a long time, his name is Garo. I've had the pleasure of speaking to him a few times, he is a patriot and he says he's serving to defend Aleppo's Armenians from the rebels. He's told me if a war breaks out in Artsakh, he would go fight there as well.

Tell Garo to watch his ass.....I have no doubt Armenians will be singled out here especially if the Turks/Azeris murder squads find out you out there. They already massacred a Kurdish village of over 500 in Syria. Plus its hard to trust others when their own asses is on the line in battle sell you out in a minute. Hope he has good friends when in the xxxx....he lost a good one already.

God be with him.

The information was kept secret not to damage the negotiations on releasing the hostage,the National Primacy of Aleppo of the Armenian Apostolic Church told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

This is not the first case of kidnapping Armenians since the start of Syrian crisis

Motherf*ckers wanna talk about moral obscenity of chemical weapons use...

Motherf*ckers wanna talk about moral obscenity of chemical weapons use...

At the time of the conflict, the U.N. Security Council issued statements that "chemical weapons had been used in the war." However, due to various outside pressures, the statements never clarified that only Iraq was using chemical weapons, and retrospective authors have claimed, "The international community remained silent as Iraq used weapons of mass destruction against Iranians as well as Iraqi Kurds."

http://www.globalpolicy.org/component/content/article/169/36403.html

what even those reports don't say is that it goes beyond knowing about it and staying silent, they actively prevented international condemnation of Iraq

But now that it's convenient, the US has morals
