  1. Bones of Armenians lie unburied all along the routes of the Turkish Genocide of the Armenian nation as the victims were marched, ortured, violated, unfed, many unclothed, until death.  Now, into a century later. the Turks and Azeris pursue their policy of infamy… now, seeking to destroy historical sites, destroying ancient burial sites of the Armenians and too desecrating their Katchkars (crosses carved of stones) to continue their need to eliminate any and all signs that Christian Armenians ever existed on the planet earth… Thus Genocides begim in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries… this abuse of humanity continues… is still in existence today Why?
    Since civilized nations ignore and do not join together… too, since civilized nations stand and watch and ignore Genocides, too, since civilized nations remain silent despots will use Genocides to gain their goals. For as the civilized nations remain silent… yet their silence speak volumes… their silence shouts that these nations ACQUIESENCE – allows Genocides to continue ongoing/unending.
    Too, the perpetrators slaughters, rapes, tortures and humiliates and demeans humanity – humans at their worst to other humans.  Too, the perpetrator wins their goals…  victims are the losers.

  2. I wonder
    How this man
    Whose name is Bryza
    Given such an Ambassadorial title
    Whilst he is…illiterate…liar

    Did he open Wikipedia
    Read what is documented clearly there…
    About our Cross Stones…
    Since and before 6th century

    Wikipedia is an education
    Clear documentation for every literate to read 
    From age 6…till 160…

    Katchkars’ name is
    Not only in one website 
    But in many…

    Just let him type
    Khatchkar and see

    How can any government
    Appoint such an illiterate
    in any Embassy?!?!

    A number of good examples have been transferred to the Historical Museum in Yerevan and beside the cathedral in Echmiadzin. The location in Armenia with the largest surviving collection of khachkars is the field of khachkars at Noraduz cemetery, on the western shore of the Lake Sevan, The largest collection in the world was formerly located in Julfa in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic ofAzerbaijan until it was destroyed by their government.

    Nothing can be destroyed
    As far as we can build new one
    Even through web-side
    Even Like a cartoon animations
    No one can vanish our hands
    We have artful people 
    Every one respect Us

    They are smashing the stones
    in so cruel way
    That you can tell
    if We were there
    They would have smash Our Skulls
    In the same way 
    Us…the All Armenians

    The hate is birthed in their genes
    Even god can’t vanish that…
    See how they are wasting the power of
    Their brains and hands
    To show themselves
    Who are they and what they have done
    Worse than scavengers
    A shame on them…

    All the world can see them
    From every site…
    Those are not humans …
    We are unlucky people
    To be surrounded
    By such creatures
    Worse than tigers…
