Re: Knesset moves toward recognizing Armenian genocide

Dear Users,

I have in fact huge trouble to understand, why a nation, who shares the same even more worse "destiny" like we armenians, have still graet problems to recognize the armenian genocide.

Please can one of you explain me, why the juwXXX policy is so dishonest and spoilt.

Before we try to understand another nation we need to understand ourselves.

Can we explain why Armenians even dream, hope and get excited such a thing will happen
considering the level of friendship and cooperation that exists with Turkey and Azerbaijan.

The number of time they used the Armenian Genocide as a political weapon, a tool to their advantage.
Any nation with dignity would have stood back and said, would I trust these guy and go through that again.
Certainly an ignorant (տգետ) layer of our nation consistently live in that dream and hope.
To even think that after all these machinations they “do recognise”, the cynics would ask .... why now? And is that a political gain.

The weapons Israel sells to Azerbaijan ( and Turkey) some of the most modern to do what, to kill who? ..... Armenians.
Yet we as a little lapdogs get all excited and pontificate about morality, similarity with them and any other bollocks that we can take hold of.

I hate that the Genocide issue has become now purely political. Its become an anti-Turkish tool, of course at least publicity is spread...

Turkish press discusses Israel’s possible recognition of Armenian Genocide





September 06, 2011 | 13:51
Turkey’s attitude towards Israel provoked certain steps in the parliament regarding recognition of the Armenian Genocide, writes Turkish Haberturk newspaper.

The newspaper recalls words of Israeli MP Arie Eldad who said Turkey will get a response for deporting Israeli diplomats.

Once the parliamentary hearings start, the Armenian Genocide bill will be included in the agenda, Eldad said.

Information has been recently spread by almost all media outlets which claim the Armenian Diaspora hopes that Israel will recognize the Armenian Genocide in response to Turkey’s attitude.

Haaretz article urges Turkey to acknowledge Armenian Genocide

13:49 - 16.10.11



Emanuele Ottolenghi, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of
Democracies, in a piece posted on the leading Israeli newspaper
Haaretz Web site on Friday, says that Turkey should acknowledge the
Armenian Genocide.

`Turkey continues to practice state-sanctioned genocide denial and
prosecutes those who dare challenge it. Isn't it time, 90-something
years after the Ottoman Empire eliminated as many as 1.5 million
Armenians that Mr. Erdogan's `mildly Islamist' party, as The Economist
leniently defines it, acknowledges Turkey's dark past and apologizes
on behalf of its country's crimes?' asks Ottolenghi.

`Not to belabor the point, but the list of things Turkey should
apologize for is long. It continues to illegally occupy Northern
Cyprus, the territory of a European Union member, after having
conquered the land through an act of aggression that ended in ethnic
cleansing and illegal settlements,' wrote he.

`No apology there so far - in fact, Turkey has just threatened to
freeze ties with the EU if Cyprus receives the Union's rotating
presidency next year, as it is supposed to. Meanwhile, Mr. Erdogan is
directing his gunboat diplomacy threats at Cyprus as well - as if
occupation, ethnic cleansing and the creation of a fictitiously
independent republic in the northern part of the island were not
enough,' adds Ottolenghi.

`Moral of the story: If you behave like a bull, you should not live in
a china shop. And if you live in a glass house, think twice before you
throw stones at your neighbors. Mr. Erdogan wants an apology? How
about starting with one?' concludes the author.
