Armenians, somewhat hypocritical on Genocide

[ara87]

Many of us Armenians, are somewhat hypocritical on here it seems, so far I've seen threads on how the xxxs have no shame for accepting reparations for Leningrad, and how Darfur is detracting from the real story of genocide of how the Armenians ended up in Sudan, and much more bs.

Truth is Armenians detract from the genocide of 1915, because anywhere from 500,000 to 750,000 Assyrians died and another 500,000 or more Greeks. But mainly all most Armenians do is sit and act as if we were the only ones, fine Abdul Hamid II did his crap before 1915 but that was a separate event, you will never hear an Armenian at a Genocide protest/rally talk about the dead Greeks and Assyrians. And if Turkey gave us reparations, but not any to the Greeks or Assyrians, almost none of us would get up and say shame on us for not fighting for the Greeks and Assyrians, like we do in that one thread about the xxxs and Leningrad.

Re: Armenians, somewhat hypocritical on Genocide

let Turkey give reparations to Greeks and Assyrians too.

Armenians don't deny the fact that all Christian peoples in Anatolia were victims of the genocide, not from what I've seen.

But they you know as well as i know, most Armenians would call it the Armenians Genocide, and if they had to write a book about it would only include the Greeks and Assyrians in a minor footnote, as not to draw the spotlight from our own people. Let them work with Greek and Assyrian communities in the USA to get a resolution proclaiming it the Christian genocide of 1915 and not try hog all the recognition to themselves. If they were smart they'd do this too, b/c there are plenty of Greek Americans that would support this and have influence in the gov.

Re: Armenians, somewhat hypocritical on Genocide

well i think this is the exact purpose of the j.e.w.s denying the genocide so they can continue to play the role of the main victims of the world.

Armenians groups in the u.s. and other parts of the world do work with Greek and Assyrian organizations, happens all the time. Comparing what Armenians do with the holocaust industry is absurd, there is not Armenian industry to speak of, even if we wanted one, cause most people, especially in the u.s. still do not know or know much about the Armenian Genocide. But the sad truth is more american students know about the holocaust than about the american civil war, that is a shame.

Me neither. On the contrary, we work very closely! In this clip, the leader of the Pontic Greek community of Canada actually gives a center stage speech at an April 24 rally in Canada if that's not enough proof that we work together for you.

i wasn't saying that we have an industry and deny the Assyrians and Greeks, but we never really mention it either. It's kind of like the Israelis don't deny the other 6 of the 12 million was made up of poles, gypsies, homosexuals, and political enemies, but they and the rest of the world seems to forget that

the sad truth is more american students know about the holocaust than about the american civil war, that is a shame.

that isn't really saying they know much about the holocaust either though

Re: Armenians, somewhat hypocritical on Genocide

I've actually made it a point when explaining to people about the Genocide that not only Armenians were killed but all Christians (Pontics & Assyrians) the Turks considered as a "threat" to the state.
