Copenhagen was the latest stop, last week, for a travelling exhibition
throughout Scandinavia on the Armenian genocide. Shortly after
its arrival, the curator of the museum that hosted the exhibition
announced that Turkey would be permitted to stage an "alternative"
exhibition entitled, "The so-called Armenian genocide."
The Danes aren't exactly a stupid people (they are actually the
tenth-smartest in the world), but one must question this ranking
if they actually believe that there is another side to the complete
annihilation of the Armenians. The other, more plausible, theory is
that the Danes buckled under Turkish pressure.
What has our world come to when a strong, civilized, and educated
country like Denmark caves in to the obvious self-serving lies, and
no doubt threats, of one of history's most notorious criminal nations?
Perhaps it is too difficult to stand up to a belligerent nation,
or perhaps it is easier to not. Objectivity is one thing; denial
is another.
The curator's actions deserve not only condemnation, which has
already been strong, but also criminal prosecution, because denial
only encourages more violence and misery. Copenhagen is a beautiful
city, but it is clear that it now has an ugly side.
