Armenian Cause Enters New Stage
Armenia is trying to launch a new stage of international discussion of
the Armenian cause, and it is necessary to understand the main
directions of activities.
It is known that most states determine their stance on recognition of
the genocide of 1915 by their mercantile or political interests,
keeping in mind the military and economic capability of Turkey and
Azerbaijani money.
The leader of the democratic world, the United States, openly states
that in American understanding democracy and human rights are limited
to political interests. At the same time, the world political
community has an active position and takes part in denial of
lawfulness of recognition of the genocide. There are not many such
experts (they are about 100) but some of them have an important role
in the international discussion of this and other issues relating to
the problems of the region.
On the whole, these experts have been unable to play an important role
in the propaganda and promotion of Turkish and Azerbaijani interests
but they established a favorable setting for anti-Armenian activities
of the government institutions of different countries. A vivid example
was the resolution of the Constitutional Council of France which was
enabled by considerable pay for the services of the executive and
legislative powers of France, as well as the French mass media.
Anti-Armenian activities are becoming quite lucrative, and a lot of
journalists, political scientists, politicians, members of parliament
and other public people thus ensure their own welfare. For not quite
explicable reasons neither the Diasporan, nor Armenia-based political
and public organizations have tried to use the famous civil methods to
parry and cancel such activity.
For the time being there is only one option which is connected with
the welfare of Armenian organizations and politicians. A vivid example
was the actions, or rather inaction of Armenian organizations of
France and the calls to vote for F. Hollande who is the error of
French politics.
Apparently, the Armenian organizations in the United States are
integrated with the American national interests. In Russia the
Armenian organizations are marionettes of the lower ranks of the
Federal Security Service.
Armenia has not been able to use the real capability of the Diaspora.
Unfortunately, the reaction of the Armenian Diaspora to Hungary's
criminal behavior was funny and demonstrated once again the lack of
organization. In Kiev, for example, only 15 people attended the rally
at the Hungarian embassy and quite accidentally.
The states, political organizations and experts acting against the
establishment of the rights of the Armenian people are conducting a
racist and discriminatory policy. There are a lot of ways of legal and
political fight against such behavior.
So far only the efforts of small private groups have harmed
significantly these people and organizations which felt what counter
reaction can be despite insignificant resources spent. It was possible
to `mute' and fully downplay the activities of the people who are so
close to government of big countries. The stupid concept that it is
necessary to address the major issues and ignore some engaged authors
and lobbyists is worthless.
Due to such position it was impossible to reach the `hosts'.
Complication of the life of these engaged authors pushes the fees for
lobbying and anti-Armenian activities. But this is not the problem. In
fact, the way leading to the goal is being cleared, and the Armenian
cause is shifted to a new legal level.
