Turkish PM Davutolgu's offer of a "New Beginning with Armenia"
translated (satirically) into the truth
20 January 2015 at 11:56
Ahmet Davutoglu (Turkish PM): OK. Armenians. Do I have your attention?
There's something I'd like to discuss about our common past. You know,
our shared history.
To start, I did, in fact, kill half your family. Tortured some. Raped others.
Sure. I burned down your house.
It's true. I stole all you owned and drove you into the street.
No argument from me here. I grew wealthy through my theft. And I got
powerful through your suffering, even as you've struggled just to
survive.
Yes. I've lied about my crime. Told people it was your fault.
Demonized you... the victim.
I've buried evidence.
I've bribed the cops to stay away.
I've bullied the neighbors into silence.
And it's all worked rather well. You could say I committed the perfect crime.
Almost.
There's one thing though that's still bothering me, and that's you.
You, and your complaining and your endless claims.
You won't calm down and you won't give up.
But we can fix this. I'm sure about that, which is why I'd like to
propose a "new beginning." A fresh start, if you will, to
Turkish-Armenian ties.
Now. Let's be clear about this. I won't be giving up anything I stole.
Won't compensate you for your losses. Won't even apologize for my
murders.
But I will need you to stop making accusations against me. To drop
your claims. To openly accept the status quo, and willingly leave me
in peace to finish consolidating the gains of my genocidal crime. And
then, see, we can be friends.
Just like old times.
Deal?
