Hate & Respect
There is a very subtle issue I would like to talk about today everyone.
Many say that we can't respect, befriend, or trust the Turks when they deny the AG and so much more which is true in many respects. But here's something...
Would you trust and respect them AFTER they accepted everything??? Would you be able to? Don't answer quickly, think about this seriously, this question doesn't have an easy answer.
I myself don't think EVERYONE in Turkey is our enemy. There are Turks that I would gladly take a bullet for, truly great people and great friends. Long story short, I look at the bigger picture at all times. I can't hate all Turks for that reason. I mean, more then 80% of the Turkish populace doesn't know and can't know about the truth because of article 301, the education system there, etc. so how can you blame them all so easily? We have to remember what they are going through and how hard it is to see the light at the end of the cave in Turkey. Try living there for one week and then talk big is all I'm saying. It really is very hard. There are of course many that DO know the true side of history but still deny the AG. These people deserve to be beheaded right now.
I'm not saying let's go become friends with everyone but let's not call everyone our enemies either. Let's differentiate our enemies from our friends. I'd say we have much worse enemies right here in Yerevan as a matter of fact then anywhere else in the world, ruining our nation.
Bottom line is, I control my anger and hate ... it doesn't control ME! That allows me to see the bigger picture and appreciate people for who they are ... not who their grandfathers or leaders or anyone else were/are.
So my question is again, would you start trusting the Turks or respecting them more if they accepted what happened? I for example know many that can't, no matter what, and I respect that and understand why COMPLETELY. I'd like to hear your views and please everyone, let's have a calm and peaceful discussion if you don't mind. This is a very subtle matter and can only be discussed properly in a calm environment.
Peace
