Are russians racist to Armenians?

Re: Are russians racist to Armenians?

It has nothing to do with being a Nazi my naive friend. It has everything to do with preserve your own kind. That's what Nazi's believed, ironically, and are now cast as the most evil people in history. Who is doing the casting and why?

I've seen an interview with a Russian skin head on Armenian TV, channel 1, the guy was clearly PRO-HITLER.

Anyway, if given the oppertunity to do so, you think it'd be just to "get rid of" Armenia's Kurdish population in it's entirety, IF they became a national threat to "preserving our own kind."

On a lighter note:

Russia favored Armenia at the Eurovision Song Contest

Russia and Armenia exchanged a maximum score of 12 points at the Eurovision-2006 Song Contest. Notably, the CIS countries that participated in the contest showed a measure of solidarity. Ukraine generously granted Russia 12 points, whereas Russians scored a Ukrainian singer 10 (second highest point). Byelorussia scored Armenia 8 (third highest), Ukraine 10, and Russia the maximum 12 points. It is noteworthy that Armenian singer received 10 points from Turkish pop music fans.

The 52nd Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Finland in 2007, The Finnish Lordi group won the 51st contest that ended last night in Athens. Their song “Hard Rock Hallelujah” received the total score of 297 points. Dima Bilan from Russia was voted second best by receiving 243 points. The Khara Mata Khari group from Bosnia that presented the “Leila” song ranked third. Ukraine was the seventh with 145 points. Armenian pop-artist André ranked eighth.

24 countries took part in the contest. Out of that total, 14 had been included automatically and 10 were rated by the TV audience during the semifinal vote. The contest final was staged in an indoor stadium in Athens. 14, 000 people were watching the show inside the stadium, and millions around the world saw it live on TV.

It's true that Russia is one of Armenia's closest allies, but it doesn't necessarily mean we should look at them as a true "freind." Whatever they're doing is for their own self interests, period. Plus, for certain given reasons, they'll never or atleast anytime soon want any form of stability in the Caucasus.

Armenia is just another pawn in Russia's little chess game. You can't give countries people characterists. Nations don't have morals, bottom line. If Russia is Armenia's freind today, there is no telling who's freind they will be tomorrow.

I agree though, if Armenia remains loyal, Russia should still support us, but like I said, they can't be trusted.

As for Russians being racist, I think that applies mostly to Russian skinheads. The average Russia might not appreciate the presence of an ethnic Armenian population, but they won't take action to insult, or assualt anyone like some skinheads would

i agree with you Heavy G, the Russians shouldnt be trusted as much! and plus while the Armenian genocide started the Russians were near the Armenians.the armenians were fighting the turks led by the general Andranek the Great. the Russians waited until the fight ended then they would go through and conquer. they were in the north-west (before comunisom started)
to my point of view

This has nothing to do with "trust," its simply politics. For the foreseeable future, Russia, Armenia and Iran will have close geo-political, military and economic relations.

and plus while the Armenian genocide started the Russians were near the Armenians.the armenians were fighting the turks led by the general Andranek the Great. the Russians waited until the fight ended then they would go through and conquer. they were in the north-west (before comunisom started)

And this is as stupid a comment anyone can make regarding the political situation in the region at the time. Where did you get your "point of view," university of Ankara or planet Mars?

Re: Are russians racist to Armenians?

Re: Are russians racist to Armenians?

an Armenian starting a fight with an other Armenian. isnt that a good fight to see. STOP STARTING xxxx!!!
i would like to have a truce with you ok?
i dont care wat you have to say about me.

Dude, I am not trying to start xxxx with you. All I am telling you is that you don't know what you are talking about regarding this topic of discussion. More you talk about this topic more you sound stupid. Therefore, take my friendly advice and stop discussing this topic. In the meanwhile, go and educate yourself about Armnenian-Russian relations.

Re: Are russians racist to Armenians?

I just got off the phone with The Russians. As far as I could tell The Russians are "cool" with all of us except Nersez. The Russians sympathise and apologise.
