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

What I don't understand about the West and Isreal is that Bashar is the best guy on the block! Why are they so hell bent on bringing crazy people to power? I have been trying real hard to figure this one out and it escapes me as to what sense it makes if any.

Bashar smacked the Palastinian uprising, what Je w does not like that? It just does not make sense I'm telling you the people at the top in the West are smoking some crazy sheet! They must have a consulate in Jamaica because these boys and gals are smoking some crazy sheet.

Syria is very important strategically and it was always going to be a real mess. It's a shame, as the Syrians really aren't the worst.

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

I remember Lebanon very well! It is nice to see Armenian power first hand, even with a hand full of guys. When the Armos started to patrol the Armenian areas, people knew not to mess with them. There is, or was a certain amount of respect on the ground. I knew a family we made friends with, the youngest was a brave boy no older then 18 who was hurt very bad in a fire fight who later died of his wounds. The fight was so strong and he put up such a fight that when he was in the hospital bleeding to death, some people gave blood, and they were not even Armenians! Like I said, we were friends with the family, shame is you will never hear this reported in the news.

Now who in the West reported on Armenians in Syria holding guns?

Where did this news come from and how come it is so easy to find?

Be careful of the guns you hold Armo's even if you are not holding one someone in the West is reporting that you are holding a gun.

Whoever reported whatever, hold it you are damned and don’t hold it you are damned. Just remember one thing this is not Artsakh! When it gets to that point you should move, just like in Lebanon, time to move to Armenia where one should hold a gun proudly!

Getze Hayastan!

Whichever is the case -arming themselves is the right thing to do in this situation. Everyone has the right to protect his/her family, life and property. I think the Chinese and Russians are gona make sure that the west does not get its way in Syria nor Iran.

Սիրիայի հայ համայնքը եղբայրասպան կռվին չի մասնակցում. նման լուրերն իսկության հետ կապ չունեն

http://www.yerkirmedia.am/?act=news&lan=hy&id=9574

Սիրիայում իրավիճակը շարունակում է լարված մնալ, սակայն հայկական լրատվամիջոցներում օրվա ընթացքում պարբերաբար տարածվող տեղեկություններն իրականությանը չեն համապատասխանում։
Մասնավորապես, օտարերկրյա մի շարք թերթերում հայտնվել էին տեղեկություններ, թե հայ բնակիչները զենքը ձեռքներին սկսկել են կռվել ապստամբների դեմ, եւ տեղեկությունն՝ առանց ճշտումների, արտատպվել է մեր ԶԼՄ-ներում։
Բեյրութի "Ազդակ" օրաթերթն այդ հարցերը պարզելու համար կապ էր հաստատել Բերիո Թեմի առաջնորդարանի բանբեր Ժիրայր Ռաիսյանի հետ, ով հայտնել է, որ "նման լուրերն իրականությանը բացարձակ չեն համապատասխանում":
"Հայությունն՝ իբրեւ համայնք, դեմ է եղբայրասպան կռվին եւ ոչ մի կերպ չի մասնակցում դրան եւ չի կարող մասնակցել: Համայնքի մտահոգությունը հայ ընտանիքների, տների եւ հաստատությունների ապահովությունն է։ Որեւէ այլ տեղեկատվություն իրականությանը չի համապատասխանում: Այս պահին իրավիճակը լարված է։ Նոր Գյուղ եւ Սուլեյմանիե թաղերում բախումներ կան։ Անվտանգության նպատակով ժողովուրդն առժամանակ լքում է բնակարանները եւ ապահով վայրերում հաստատվում։ Այդ ողջ աշխատանքը իրականացվում է համայնքի ղեկավարության կամզակերպմամբ",- ասել է Ռաիսյանը։

WESTERN POWERS APPROVE OF POLITICALLY MOTIVATED TERROR ACTS - RUSSIAN FM

PanARMENIAN.Net
September 12, 2012 - 13:41 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net - Western powers tend to approve of politically
motivated terror acts when the latters are of benefit to them,
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told reporters, commenting
on the refusal of some UN Security Council's permanent members to
publicly denounce terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq.

"The West doesn't condemn terror acts when these are politically
beneficial in their eyes," Mr. Lavrov said, adding he would be glad
if Russia's western partners cleared this suspicion, The Voice of
Russia reported.

Syria: Christians take up arms for first time

By Ruth Sherlock, Carol Malouf in Beirut7:30PM BST 12 Sep 2012

The Christian community has tried to avoid taking sides in the civil war. In Aleppo, it recruited vigilantes from the Boy Scout movement to protect churches, but as the war moved into the city and spread across its suburbs they have begun to accept weapons from the Syrian army and joined forces with Armenian groups to repel opposition guerrillas.
"Everybody is fighting everybody," said George, an Armenian Christian from the city. "The Armenians are fighting because they believe the FSA are sent by their Turkish oppressors to attack them, the Christians want to defend their neighbourhoods, Shabiha regime militia are there to kill and rape, the army is fighting the FSA, and the [Kurdish militant group] PKK have their own militia too."

For the past six weeks up to 150 Christian and Armenian fighters have been fighting to prevent Free Syrian Army rebels from entering Christian heartland areas of Aleppo.
Last month the Syrian army claimed a 'victory' in removing FSA fighters from the historic Christian quarter of Jdeidah. But Christian
militia fighters told the Daily Telegraph it was they who had first attacked the FSA there.

"The FSA were hiding in Farhat Square in Jdeideh. The Church committees stormed in and cleansed the area. Then the Syrian army
joined us. They claimed the victory on State television," said George, who like many Christian refugees is too scared to give his full name. "The rebels were threatening the churches."
The area, defined by its boutique shops, narrow cobbled streets and the spires and cupolas of the Maronite, Orthodox and Armenian churches, had over the weeks become infiltrated with sniper positions and checkpoints, residents said.
"FSA snipers were on the rooftops and they were attacking the Maronite church and Armenian residents there," said a former clergyman calling himself John, now in Beirut, who said he had witnessed the battle.

The battle for Aleppo has become bitter, with militant jihadist groups playing a more prominent role than in any other city.
It has become increasingly scarred by accusations of atrocities on both sides, most recently the mass killing of 20 regime troops, whose bodies were displayed on a video apparently uploaded to the internet by a rebel militia.

Residents of the city told The Telegraph that the city's minorities feared that they would suffer the same fate as Christians in Iraq, who
were heavily targeted by the sectarian violence that erupted after the 2003 war.
"They are shouting 'the Alawites to the graves and the Christians to Beirut," said an Armenian mother of four who recently fled the city – a claim also made by several other Christian refugees.
John said that contrary to reports Aleppo's minority groups and wealthy residents were not all regime supporters. But he said they felt they had to protect themselves from 'peasant immigrants' who were using the war to destroy the city's sophisticated
heart.

"I am not in support of the government, but the FSA are all a bunch of thugs and thieves. I watched them steal from a textile
factory – they took everything; gas, materials, even the beading machines!"
Increasingly on the offensive, Syrian rebels killed at least 18 soldiers in a car bomb and ground attack on a military position in neighbouring Idlib province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

In Aleppo on Wednesday four Syrian Armenians were reported killed and 13 wounded in an ambush near the airport.
The new UN envoy Lakhdar Brahimi is to meet Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus on Thursday, in a last-ditch effort to rescue the country from civil war.
Any military intervention looked to be firmly off limits on Wednesday. Philip Hammond, the defence secretary, made clear that Western countries would not consider such action whilst Russia and China continued to oppose it.

Seeing little hope of change many Christians have already joined the hundreds of thousands who have fled the country. The UN High
Commission for Refugees said 253,000 Syrians were now registered with them.

Many Christians say they hold little hope of returning.
