Garen Yegparian
Asbarez Columnist
Garen Yegparian is a fat, bald guy who has too much to say and do for his own good. So, you know he loves mouthing off weekly about anything he damn well pleases to write about that he can remotely tie in to things Armenian. He's got a checkered past: principal of an Armenian school, project manager on a housing development, ANC-WR Executive Director, AYF Field worker (again on the left coast), Operations Director for a telecom startup, and a City of LA employee most recently (in three different departments so far). Plus, he's got delusions of breaking into electoral politics, meanwhile participating in other aspects of it and making sure to stay in trouble. His is a weekly column that appears originally in Asbarez, but has been republished to the Armenian Weekly for many years.

The author’s observations are accurate to a high degree . However he fails to mention that this cycle was only possible due to the fact that they managed to play the Great Powers of the day. They are still ,sadly, performing it today. They are utilizing their expanding market/economy and their geostrategic position to entice the world powers to support them and recognize them as a regional power. Unless the countries in the area i.e Greece, Armenia, Serbia, Cyprus and Syria launch a unified economical cold war against the Turks , Turkey will prevail. The Kurds are too divided and isolated and the Turkish progressive forces are fragmented and their influence is negligible even in the large cities. The struggle against the Islamists, the emerging Military-Industrial Complex, the merchant and industrial/agricultural class is going to be a long and difficult one. In short the internal contradictions of the régime are not sufficient to undermine the Republic of Turkey.
