OK condemned but what will be done. Give Assad resources to defeat the people you fought in Afghanistan or tell your ally Turkey to stop giving aid those radicals.
Words mean nothing. Assad is not doing well over there and was stupid to not have his forces guard the border.
Hopefully the spineless President Obama, and the totally inept and ignorant Department of State, for once they will put aside Turkey’s membership on NATO, their self-interests, and take the necessary steps to pressure Turkey to stop its flagrant violations of human rights .
Why u always twist the reality and try to attach everything into ur so-called genocide drama? Turkey is also suffering from the incursions from Syria.In the same vein three El-Quaede terrorists infiltrated into Turkey and killed innocent people.
{“Turkey is also suffering from the incursions from “}
No it’s not: it is so-called ‘suffering’; where is the proof there were any incursions and Turkey is actually suffering ?
{“In the same vein three El-Quaede terrorists infiltrated into Turkey and killed innocent people.”}
No they didn’t: you denialist Turks are making things up; it never happened. “Innocent people killed” ? Where is the evidence ?
We wish to thank our Congressman in Washington for their letter to Pres. Obama on the attacks on the Armenian Community in Kessab, Syria where the Turkish Government sent troops to eliminate the Armenians from the area. Their homes, churches, and businesses have been destroyed and up to 90 some odd people have been killed. We hope the world powers will wake up to what the Turks have done to civilization over the centuries with their motive to eliminate Christians from the face of their occupied lands.
It’s good members of congress condemn the Kessab attacks, but I wonder, are they courageous enough to acknowledge that the US position on Syria is a complete failure, since the Assad government is the only entity on this planet protecting the minorities in Syria such as the Armenians?
Are they also fixing to condemn Obama for meeting the Saudi Wahabi Alqaeda supporters and agreeing to illegally provide US taxpayer funded anti-aircraft weapons to terrorists against a sovereign Syria, the same terrorists that invaded Kessab with the aid of a NATO member named ‘Turkey’?
Haluk,
Fact, Armenians of Kessab, Syria are survivors of Genocide.
Fact, The Al Qaeda affiliated terrorist groups for some times have been operating from Turkey with the clear knowledge of Turkish government and even they have received medical treatment inside of Turkey which also has been on European news.
Your desperate and deceitful attempt to log your comments here about
“twist the reality” and “Turkey is also suffering from the incursions” is clearly obvious to every Armenian
what are you talking about? the world media does not even report ONCE a thing of the truth,, obama himself is promising saudis to send air defense to the terrorists, what are you expecting from this charade? who says obama is not THE helper and supporter of the turks and the terrorists so far thats what it looks like, and in action it is proven.
whoever pulls the strings decides who gets what. give it up. nothing helps, morals do not exist, human justice does not exist, truth does not exist in politics. it is one big prostitution nest. you do as we say or else…..therefore they will lie today and tomorrow because they have the “or else” hanging above their heads.
Armenians have one big mistake; we had to strengthen ourselves so well, build us such a powerful stand, that we would be the ones to get our justice by own hands, alas.
you are exactly right world politics is one prostitution nest, when it suits their own interests they cry human rights this is used as a tool. what a hypocrisy we live in. the weak are always trampled on for gas, oil and resources.and innocent people suffer.
i think Armenian and Russian army elite immediately should go to kassab and protect the Armenians usa and Europe can’t depend on them
Why the Congress of our United State does not press the issue of the freedom of press and enforce the correct information to be given by media in USA. Why the news are not screaming about this serious international events in Syria, Kessab (Latikia) on our TVs as they do about anything about any other minor international incidences. What about all the people driven from their homes (600 families), innocent people killed and churches destroyed by Al-Qaida militants that were hired by Turkish government. After all, these events may be resulted in a repeat incidence of massacres of Christians in Syria by Turkish government. I think this issue must be addressed by our government. It is a very serious problem in our free country! Equal information reporting must be enforced by authorities. Where is the freedom of speech?
The TURKS did it again…. How long we have to take this??????
Obama and administration let this happen. What to expect from this Country?
Isn’t this an Armenian issue? Can’t the armenian military defend themselves? Oh wait…
Here is a journalist that has integrity

We must stop the whining and begging. This world is about survival of the fittest. If you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.
The only way we will get our rights is if we follow the Jewish example. We must help ourselves before asking for help from others. PERIOD. If we can’t do that, then our faith is well deserved.
we need a secret army ,secret army and secret army.
