  2. Mr. Astarjian says, ” It took a genocide to advance a nation from Point A to Point B. It is a shame, but it is true. One can only imagine what our people would have been like if we continued to live under Ottoman rule.”
    This statement is a bit over the top and reflects a very shallow perspective on history. I have heard the same thing said about the merits of American slavery and its ‘progressive’ results. One should be more careful and serious in these matters.

  4. I would rather have seen Armenians, as villagers and artisans, remian on the lands rather than spread across the world as doctors, lawyers and other professionals. The author speaks about “advancement from Point A to B” but what is the practical benefit is millions in the diaspora no longer contribute to the building of Armenian national statehood? We, the descendants of Genocide survivors, have been deprived of the possibility of participating in the nation’s historical development on our ancestral lands. I agree that an inegligible number will ever seriously ponder packing up their bags and reintegrating themselves in the only functioning Armenian society which, sadly, is in terrible shape in the RA. The alternative is assimilation. Maybe this is our historical destiny?

  5. dont forget the Arameans (Syriacs).
    more than 300 000 Aramaic christians were murdered in Tur Abdin.
