Armenia
For us Armenians, 2009 was not a year, which we would remember with
fondness, thanks to the unfortunate events, which have precipitated
from the misguided actions of the government of Armenia. Namely,
the process of normalization of relations with our western neighbour
and historical adversary Turkey," reads the article by Jean Ipdjian
published in Gibrahayer e-magazine.
"The problem is the manner in which the government of Armenia has
chosen or has been forced to conduct the process. We, Armenians,
have major issues with Turkey. There is the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide, the matter of our historical lands which form
part of eastern Turkey and where for years systematic work has been
undertaken by Turkey to erase the historical fingerprints of its true
owners, us Armenians, and last but not least, Artsakh. These issues
are not confined to and nor are within the narrow concerns of the
republic of Armenia and its population, but they concern and belong to
the Armenian nation as a whole in its entirety, that is Armenia and
the Diaspora. Therefore, they should have been the results of prior
consultations with the nation through its organized representatives
and establishments.
The Diasporans are not concerned about the policies of running the
government, since it is the elected choice of the people of Armenia.
However, by signing the Protocols the President of Armenia and his
government have overstepped their moral authority and obligations
towards the nation. Probably we and the government will be saved
and taken out of an unfortunate position by Turkey itself, because
of that nation s inexhaustible arrogance and extreme nationalism,"
the article says.
