We Say NO to War
08-09-2013 18:29:01 | USA | Politics
Two years ago, the Arab Spring blossomed, inspiring the
poverty-stricken oppressed masses of the Arab nation to hope for a
just society, built on Freedom and Democracy.
Unfortunately, the use of brutal force and violence followed soon.
For us, Armenians, a significant country like Syria became the theater
of civil-wars. Other countries too, like the Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt
with significant Armenian Diaspora communities are also victims of
political instability.
As a direct result of regional forces in violent competition, on one
side the Shiite led by the Islamic Republic of Iran versus the Sunni
led by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, then the Arab-Israeli
battleground, further strained by Super-power proxy conflicts led by
the United States of America and its Western allies against Russia and
China, arming both sides, converting Syria into a blood-soaked Hell.
The recent threats of military strikes against Syria, by the US and
its Western allies have caused us, European Armenians, deep
humanitarian concerns, as official wars can spread out, engulf whole
regions, with incalculable and unpredictable evil consequences,
producing more destruction of property, death by the hundred
thousands, refugees by the millions; inconsolable grief, pain and
suffering.
We, the Assembly of Armenians of Europe, reject categorically and
totally the war of warmongering and imperialist powers, and we join
our voices to the chorus of peace-loving and democratic forces.
The ultimate victim of War(s) is the human kind, the very human being
itself as a species - those who foolishly profit from mankind's
destruction are the Armament industry and the parasites that feed on
it.
We say NO, a thousand times No to War and Warmongering.
