LEN, you write as if Armenia has flourished and become a western powerhouse. That is, of course false! Why? The very nations you believe support us, the Western powers. So they can play nice with Turkey and Azerbaijan, they don't care how Armenians fare.
Why is it so hard to see that a group of people who help power in what is now Turkey committing ethnic cleansing? The problem lies in your believing that they are your forebears. That is simply not true and that prevents--pardon the generalisation--Turks and Armenians from getting back to that cordiality that existed before the Russian invasion.
That the Genocide has much to do with politics is disheartening. Apparently, politicians decide what happened in the past and what didn't. That politicians, as politicians naturally do, abuse the Genocide insults the Armenian people.
But you seem not to care at all. After all, you already have your pre-concieved notion of Armenians and babbling from someone with such a bias as to have 'Armenian' in his name has no effect on you. The reason behind why I care is because I want to show you that we can coexist peacefully, even if I'm not a Turkish Armenian, I'm an Armenian born Armenian--at the time, it was the Soviet Socialist State of Armenia. See, despite what we both may've been taught in school, the other is still a real person, a real person with morals, a real person who doesn't like arguing over such a tragic issue all the time.
Your cynicism about my believing in brotherhood amongst our people does not surprise me. Maybe you think I'm a property-hungry, greedy person who is looking at increasing my holdings as I understand is the Armenian stereotype or maybe I'm a decietful nationalist. I'm either one of those, or just a person who follows a religion based on peace, brotherhood, compassion, mercy; who developed a strong personal hate for war and who, after hearing from survivors, would never wish such a tragedy like the Genocide on anyone, regardless.
Think whatever you want, but being so calloused as to say merry Geno-mas is absoulutely despicable.
Also, you seem to be using democracy with negative connotations, which is a little odd. Care to explain why?
Lastly, the ASALA died of because Armenians in general did not want it. Do you really think that the only moral Armenians are Turkish Armenians?
