Sarkisian: ‘Auschwitz is the Der Zor of the Jews’

On March 22, at the invitation of the president of the Syrian Arab Republic, Bashar Al-Asad, the president of Armenia, Serge Sarkisian, arrived in Syria on a three-day official visit. On March 24 Sarkisian gave the following remarks in the Der Zor desert in Syria, where thousands of Armenians perished during the genocide.

***

Your Eminences,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am here today since I could not but be here. It is the greatest grief of my nation that has brought me here, the grief of the first genocide of the 20th century and the greatest disgrace of civilized humanity. Up to this moment, in the 21st century, the stigma of that disgrace still remains on the foreheads of all those who have turned the denial of the evident facts into their policy, turned it into their bargaining chip and into their lifestyle and norm of behavior.

In the desert of Der Zor, the most monstrous acts of the tragedy took place, and it is neither possible to articulate the particulars of that tragedy in the language of human beings, nor am I going do that since these particulars are well-known even to those who publicly deny the veracity of the genocide. Bereft of home and property, bereft of children and parents, bereft of health and the last hope, and finally bereft of the most important—their homeland—these people were doomed to lose the last thing they had—their life in accordance with the state orchestrated and meticulously developed plan of extermination.

Quite often historians and journalists soundly compare Der Zor with Auschwitz, saying that “Der Zor is the Auschwitz of the Armenians.” I think that the chronology forces us to formulate the facts in a reverse way: “Auschwitz is the Der Zor of the Jews.” Only a generation later humanity witnessed the Der Zor of the Jews. Today, as the president of the Republic of Armenia, the homeland of all Armenians, I am here to ask: “Where and when will be held our Nuremberg?”

I’m here to commemorate and to pray for the vast majority of my slaughtered nation that had suffered both physical and cultural extermination. I will elaborate neither on the quality, nor on the quantity of the loss. Let me recall a single fact: As a result of the genocide the greatest share of the dialects of one of the most ancient Indo-European languages—Armenian—was irreversibly eradicated along with its speakers.

In spite of all that happened, we say that we are ready to establish normal diplomatic relations with the modern Turkey, we are ready to have open borders and economic relations, we are ready to make efforts towards building confidence between the peoples of Armenia and Turkey, we are ready to bring closer the two societies by breaking stereotypes and myths that have nothing to do with the reality and were developed in decades of dearth of any sensible contact.

We do this sincerely since we believe that there is no alternative to the living and development between neighbors through the implementation of what is proposed and still at the table, at least to start it. The signing of the Armenian-Turkish protocols presented us with an historic opportunity that should have a logical destiny.

We, however, do not accept the style of references to the Armenian-Turkish dialogue in attempts to avoid the recognition of the genocide. I do not think it helps the process. Moreover, it is irrelevant to cite some commission of historians since the Armenian-Turkish protocols provide for merely a governmental sub-commission on the historic dimension. I assume everyone understands what it means and what the difference is. I ask all those who will have an occasion to elaborate or express themselves on the topic of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide: remember of this desert, millions of ruined human fortunes, and this ancient people deprived of their motherland and with pain in their hearts, before you make up your minds.

In 1915 the greatest Armenian poets of the 20th century—35-year-old Daniel Varoujan and 37-year-old Atom Yarjanian (Siamanto)—had also been slaughtered. Before being tortured to death, they were undressed, because they wore European clothes. In those times and places European clothes were quite expensive. The executioners dressed up in European clothing stolen from the Armenian geniuses encompassing millennia old civilization, stolen from ordinary Armenians.

I would not interpret symbols signified in these images but I am unequivocally convinced: While preaching European apparel, manners, or values, no one has a right to cast these images into oblivion.

I am here to remind you of the well-known words: “It is impossible to kill a nation that does not want to die.” We mean to live and to grow. It is no more possible to intimidate or blackmail us since we have seen the most horrible. We shall continue to live and create with double vigor for us and for our innocent victims. We look forward to sharing with each other, and sharing with the world the brightness and glow that Daniel Varuzhan and Atom Yarjanian did not have the chance to share.

And here, in Der Zor, we firmly and loudly say over and over again that we are, shall exist, and will flourish.

  1. I am glad Mr. Sarkissian said these very touching  -that brought tears to my eyes- and very truthful words.  I am glad, because he practically covered everyone that denies and keep on denying by playing (real polytik).  His words were directed to that woman Hillary Clinton, it was directed to Davutolu and his entire denyalist anscestors the Turkish government, his words were directed to the denyalist Britain, the U.S.’ Obama, to the Swiss’ Prime Minister who apologyzed to the denyalist Turkey; and finally to the entire civilized world who ignored the Armenian Genocide and our Martyrs’ pleas and also us, “the heirs” of the our Martyrs since 95 years.  Indeed, when will our Nurembourg take place?  When??????

    Yes dear Mr. Sarkissian, I am very happy that you uttered these truthful words.

  2. Hye, For one correction on the above post above, I was referring to Frederick Reinfeldt, the prime minister of Sweden, not Swiss’, who very unjustifiably apologyzed to the Turkish government, because Sweden’s parliament accepted the Armenian Genocide resolution.  Shame on him for afterh 95 years to make “real polytik” with the Turkish denialist government, he is disgracefully denying the Armenian Genocide to play politics with the Turks.

  3. OK then, let’s talk about Germany.

    It helped Turkey commit genocide against the Armenian people during WW I.   Germany used Armenian men as slave labor and worked them to death.  What did Armenians ever do to Germans to deserve this?  What or who gave these German thugs and brutes the idea that they had the right to use Armenians as slave labor? 

    Moreover, it is known that German officers helped lead attacks against Armenian civilians.

    We have let Germany off the hook.  This is not a proud thing for us as a people. 

    A lot of people don’t know this, but it appears that Germany has never unequivocally acknowledged the Armenian genocide by using the “G word” in a proper and honest context.

    Look at the German Parliament resolution of 2005:

     http://www.armenian-genocide.org/Affirmation.339/current_category.7/affirmation_detail.html 

    The only use of the G word is in English translation from the German.  And, as far as I can see, it does not say that Germany itself believes there was a genocide.  No, rather it just says that many historians and countries “describe” it as “genocide.  That is a clear evasion of responsibility by Germany.  

    Germans murdered innocent Armenians and has yet to do anything about it, nor have we Armenians done anything about this as far as I know.  

  4. The Nazi party murdered many peoples and the people who suffered most were the Jews. Germany accepts responsibility for these horrendous acts much like the Turkey of today must accept and further apologize handsomely for the atrocious acts the Ottoman Empire committed against its Armenians. People in forums like this must stay focused as not to lose control. Our sole and primary concern is to rebuild broken boarders which can only be accomplished by tolerance, recognition, and most importantly unbiased education.

  5.    Mr. Sarkissian is looking and sounding like the leader of a nation. With Turkish denial in full throttle and their absurd pre-conditions to the supposed “no pre-conditions” protocols, Sarkissian has been presented with an opportunity to display the tenacity and integrity of the Armenians as its relates to Karabagh and the Genocide. What we are witnessing is the total lack of public credibility of Turkey’s campaign. Their public commentary is silly and actually helps the Armenian side( i.e Erdogan’s comments, 60 Minutes, etc.). Even most of the Congressmen who voted againstthe resolution argue  in the name of current geo-politics and not on the historical facts. The message is clear. Let’s remember that it was not too long ago that we used to hear these ridiculous comments from third parties that they weren’t sure what happened or there are many views.
             Only the Turkish government advances that worn out and denialist view in major public circles. This is real progress. They have become very isolated and increasingly frustrated. Were it not for their political and economic leverage in certain circles, we’d be talking reparitions. As we approach the eve of the 95th
    anniversary,take heart Armenian nation, Turkey is in retreat on this issue and they know it. Change is going onwithin Turkish societyand our position is strong.

  6. Let’s face it. Serj Sarkissian’s foreign minister’s signature is already on the protocols and they’ve been sent to the Armenian parliament for ratification. Thus, the damage has already been done to the Armenian Cause. Serj should have thought about the consequences of his actions BEFORE he succumbed to the pressure of foreign powers.He should have also consult his own citizens and the Disporans on the isue BEFORE getting involved in such a dangerous endevour. This is what national leaders, in a true sense of the word, do.

    What he appears to be doing now is 1) rehabilitating himself in the eyes of the Diaspora who, along with his own citizens in Armenia, have vastly condemned his stance on the protocols; and 2) attempting to strengthen the Armenian position on the Genocide issue that’s been weakened by his agreement on a protocol provision to form a historical subcomission. I don’t believe that illegitimate presidents, who lack broad-based popular support, can be accountable to their people and be champions of national Causes. If another wave of foreign pressure mounts, don’t make a mistake: he’ll effortlessly succumb to the new one, because what he’s mostly preoccupied with is to sustain his presidency that no majority of Armenian citizens has granted him.

  7. I find the turn of phrase used by Mr. Sarkissian inspirational and emotional. Maybe we ought to get together and finance a memorial on a suitable site in Der Zor, of course subject to permissions.
    Is this a dream too far?

     

  8. Serzh would not have said these words unless he got the green light from Washington. The Armenian issue is a bargaining chip that may not assist Armenia one iota. There is under-the-radar activity going on by superpowers to prod Turkey regarding non-Armenian hot-button issues for which they’d like Turkey’s cooperation.
     

  9. BLOOD  MONEY  is the issue that most fits into our overall “Demands”.
    The land issue is irrelevant,rather no time for it as yet…
    But B-Money is there for the taking,what with the Armenian BAR Association with quite a few able International Armenian attorneys, a  strong-lettered Law-suit (dossier) should be prepared and lodged at the Int’l Court  of Justice at the Hague,cc to U.N. and other important instances. Our Hargeli (dear) proffessionals of the Law should get down to business and in cooperation with our historians, in extension dgging up all our archives whether in Yerevan or ALMA in Watertown, MA(USA)  and the one  in aris preare  it. Especially NOW THAT  Mr. Erdogan has  so harsly referred to Deporting Armeian migrant workers from Istanbul. One more Realstic viewpoint and please consder  ,think and then respond to the fllowing;-
    Supposing the wrd G. is pronounced  by U.s. pres, cme April 24..WHAT  NEXT?
    Do you firmly believe  that  if we in Diaswpora Unanimously do not take up  the issue-as above- anything else will occurr?
    Or  if  U.s.,Eu.And Russia  do not then REMIND  TURKEY THAT  THEY SOULD -AS CULPABLE- MAKE AMENDS,restitution/ at the very least  now for B-Money,all these craving for Recognition would have been worth  it?
    Turkey knows full well that RESTITUTION/REPARATIONS-AFTER ADMITTING TO GENOCIDE COMMITTED BY THEIR PREVIOUS GOVERNMENT(s),something will be  in store for the.And if we from now -yes now, start  that, then it wll be TOO LATE.
    I can assure all, they will then gladly come to Tsitsernagabert, kneel dow and beg forgiveness,thus the aobe TRIO will decare ..:-“All right Armenians, isn’t  ths eough  for  you? you asked for it  and you got  it.
    SO MY HUMBLE IDEA IS THIS 95TH ANNIVERSARY  OF THE GENOCIDE WE MUST COE  OUT  NOT JUST  WITH WORDS  OF RECOGNITION,BUT ALONGSDE  IT ON TOP OF IT IN BIG  LETTER”BLOOD  MONEY” MUST BE  PAID TO US…SURVIVRS HERS…
    FOR  M ORE  MUC MORE  IS THERE IN STOR IN MY ARGUMENT(S).
    TURKEY CAN VERY EASILY MANEUVRE  ,AS ABOVE AND ADD,THE WORLD ECONOMIC  CRUNCH  HAS AFFECTED  US TREMENDOULSY AND OUR GOVERNMENT TREASURY COFFERS ARE EPTY…
    NOTHING LEFT  THERE TO PAY TO ARMENIANS..THEY MUST  WAIT..
    WHAT ANOTHER 95 YEARS
    NO I HAVE A SUGGESTION-
    ALL KNOW QUITE WELL THAT  THE OIL PIPELINE FROM AZERBAIJAN ,THE INFAMOUS BTJ OR BTC  BAKU-TIFLIS(TBILIS) CHEYHAN ,COULD HAVE EASILY PASSED THROUGH THE SHRTER   R  O  U  T  E   VIA ARMEIAN  TERRITORY…
    WHY DID’T THE ANGLO AM OIL CO’S  EVADE  THAT.WHAT ARMENIANS ARE NOT TRUSTWORTHY? thence.
    we  must press  those to govt.s   TO IN EXTENSION IMPOSE  UPON THOSE OIL COMPNAIES  TO SET ASIDE  A CERTAIN %  of the 1.600,000.000 BILLION THAT THEY PAY ANNUALLY_(EASY  MONEY)  TO R.OF TURKEY TO BE PAID TO ARMENIAN HES  OF SRVIVORS-AS BLOOD  MONEY_”CAUSE  THOSE  COMPANIES AND IN EXTENSION THEIR GOVT.”S ARE ALSO “ANUGHTTY” PEOPLE  not to have repected   THEIR OLD TIME WWI  ALLY THAT GOUGHT ALONGSIDE  THEM..
    WEREAS  THER TURKS KILLED  plenty of ther -Brits soldiers on the GALIPOLI  shores…rmember?
    they were-the turks on the Germanss  sde..
    Why do the Armenians s easily forget all that..
    Just  REcognition eh????
