This no sense make article is does.
I’m shocked to see this sort of double-speak. Far be it for me to claim sympathy for German warmongering regimes of any sort, much
less the Hitlerian double-edged sword for us Armenians, but this article, and perhaps Matossian’s so-called arguments, make no sense.
We are to believe that the overall climate was anti-Armenian and that due to this anti-Armenian climate AND Hitler’s alleged
“long-time anti-Armenianness expressd in interviews) anti-Armenianness, the Armenians were able to successfully lobby to be included
in the Aryan race.
Fascinating.
Please, Armenians, stay out of the race politics and stick to nationalism. You’ll be more credible.
I can’t comprehend the previous comment.
But I would remind that the legendary founder of the Armenian nation, Hayk Nahapet, was the son of Togormah, Noha’s descendant. That makes Armenians Semitic.
“Hayk Nahapet, was the son of Togormah, Noha’s descendant. That makes Armenians Semitic.”
You are wrong. In your statement, you’re implying that Noah was Semitic and if that was the case, then everyone in the whole world would be Semitic.
I will remind you that Semites are the descendants of Noah’s son Shem. Armenians are not descendants of Shem.
According to the story. In the Biblical view, the listed children of Japheth, Shem and Ham correspond to various historic nations and peoples. In the typical interpretation, these sons of Noah correspond to three races: European, Semitic, and African. Alternate divisions claim Euro-Asian Japhet, Semitic Shem, and Afro-Asian Ham.
I don’t know what the much older Sumerian, Babylonian versions of the great flood say about this.
