Panel Discussion on J. Michael Hagopian’s ‘The River Ran Red’

I applaud and admire Michael Hagopian’s initiative for the preparation of the documentaries; these are without any doubt the most important and most vivid testimonies of the unpunished crime of the Armenian Genocide . On the other hand I am shocked to hear from Taner Ackcam’s mouth that “Armenia has to have good relations with Turkey in order to be safe”, in other words Mr. Akcam is advising Armenia and the Armenian people (the victim, who is still being subjected to genocide, by Turkey to this very day; a genocide that never stopped since the 14th century, which clearly indicates that Turkey’s intentions are to completely obliterate Armenia from the map and eliminate up to the last Armenian from the face of the planet earth, so that it finally lives in peace in Asia Minor, that it confiscated from the Greeks and the Armenians, coming all the way from central Asia ) to continue to bow its head to the executioner for the final fatal blow.

Behind this apparent naivete of Mr. Akcam, it is not difficult to see his malicious intent, namely to make the Armenians forget about the crime and continue to bear its trauma silently and eventually leave the crime unpunished. Mr. Akcam is deliberately digressing from the true subject: Tukkey’s historically notorious use of violence on the weak, in this case Armenia, to confiscate wealth and trritory and the cowardly attitudes of the three notorious Armenian Genocide deniers the US, UK orchestrated by Israel.
The writer of the “Shameful act” knows very well that if the three above named countries, the axis of evil, are willing, then Turkey has absolutely no room to maneuver and will acknowledge the Genocide and make reparations and land restitutions; this we have yet to hear from Mr. Akcam’s mouth in order to be sure that he sincerely believes in what he writes.
