To fellow Armenians:
Please stop the anti-semitic comments. Your ancestors would have hoped and expected better from you. Your ancestors were pious, hardworking, very Christian villagers who wanted nothing more in life than for the following generations to prosper. They suffered so we could start new families and honor their sacrificies. You are smarter than your words give you credit for. Hating others or scapegoating others dishonors what they stood for. Remember, first and foremost, you are Christian before being Armenian. We have suffered and will suffer more because of this but that is our cross to bear.
Just like any other people in world, there are good and bad and you cannot paint everyone with the same brush. There will never be heaven on earth and all these problems exist for a reason, perhaps as hard as the answers are to find, these situations are here to teach us lesson. It is fact of life that we are dominated by the kings of the earth; those with money, those with power, those that xxxxxle on the meek and little people for their own benefit or just because they can. Whether we like it or not, real-politik rules the day. The world is not perfect but one thing is for sure, all empires crumble, what is once powerful will someday end. All acts will be judged. Please remember this.
At the same time, I think it's wondeful that many of you are nationalistic and obviously care about the Armenian cause. I would ask to try to seperate you nationalism from hatred of others. The main lesson we should take from the Genocide is to care about each other and not let it happen too our people again.
To Turks:
I've said this many times before, this is an Armenians Genocide forum set up by and for Armenians though it is true anybody can sign up. If you came here looking to insult or goad Armenians into arguements, you should find something else to do with your time. Every Armenian on this forum has varying views on history, politics, etc. There are many different opinions on many different topics related to the genocide and it would be impossible to look at this forum and use it to characterize all Armenians. We are but a few. But one thing we all believe in is the reality of the Christian Genocide (not just Armenian) that occured during WWI. You are not going to change or minds just like we will not change yours. Some Turks are here to learn and better understand and that is fine by me. Turks do not have a monopoly on Nationalism and do not expect us to agree with you on very many topics, most of our views are diametrically opposite.
Thank you
