Re: U.N. Anti-Racism Conference

You mean the war where US supplied both sides with weapons and US intelligence told each side what to do? I recall that US meddling very well...

Very well put KanadaHye. Some people like bell-the-cat has very selective memory.

What the man is trying to say is those that have suffered tragedy are usually humble towards humanity and don't turn around and exhibit the same oppressive measure towards others.

He's threatining to use denial of the holocaust as a political weapon.I don't like that ! as we know deial is a stage in Genocide,So it's a threat of Genocide against Israel.I agree with Armenia for walking out just for that reason alone, and I know what he meant is not lost in transalation.The Turkified Parsian just got excited after hearing the Erdogan/one minute acting.Ahamk icad just stepped on his pipi and doesn't know it!

Denial is only a stage by those who committed the crime. As far as I know, Iranians weren't directly involved in WWII. The American's did however, with the help of the Iranian's, built "little Detroit's" truck assembly plants in Iran. Over 1/2 million trucks were built in one year and shipped to Russia.

Iran provided a vital link for war supplies in one direction while at the same time serving as a humanitarian passage for xxxish and Polish refugees, many of whom arrived in Iran by crossing the Caspian in ships that had delivered supplies to ports in Baku, Azerbaijan or Krasnovodsk, Turkmenistan.

Why the hostility?

Re: U.N. Anti-Racism Conference

was not the speech delivered in Farsi?
i believe many controversial statements regarding Ahmadinejad miraculously get lost in translation. whatever the case, the Iranian president only doubts certain aspects of the xxxish Genocide. i.e 6 million xxxish casualties.

How is it outraging?? Whether Ahmadinejad denies the holocaust (in fact he does not) or wants to express anti-Israeli remarks, how does it concern you and me as Armenians?? Why should we support a nation whose President (among many) denies the Armenian Genocide openly and is pursuing anti-Armenian policy? Do you honestly think it is sound policy from our part?

Maybe you should start to practice what you preach. You think every country in the World is obliged to have detailed knowledge of the AG, and give unquestioned support to Armenia, even if it is against their national interest. But you think it OK for Armenia to live in the easily-reached gutter of self-interest while everyone else has to take the difficult moral high ground (when it concerns Armenia).

Isn't racism and bigotry a direct result of ignorance? Every country in the world should be obliged to have detailed knowledge of ALL the tragic events of the 20th century. The majority knows so little about the world we live in.

Rwanda
Yugoslavia
Mao killed 30-50 million of its own chinese citizens.
Hitler killed xxxs, Slavs, Homosexuals, communists and political opponents
Japan killed millions of Chinese
Stalin starved millions of Ukranians
Brits vs Boers

And that's just the tip of the ice berg.... unfortunately, you don't learn any of this from watching American Idol.
