1. What are you talking about? Why do you say Erdogan “was put in his place”? The reverse of that is true…. I was not impressed with the Greek president. If I were in his place, merely two seconds into Erdogan’s verbal diarrhea, I would have asked him when Turkey is leaving Cyprus, and that we need to explore options to bring to light reparations and restitution for the Pontic Greek Genocide. And that would be besides the Armenian and Assyrian ones. And then gave him a box of Greek Delight and bid him farewell.

2. Greeks as usual are more worried about their daily Suflaki than in the future of their children.

3. surprised that Greece even allowed this chap into Greek territory. the chap is a loose cannon.

4. I am sure that Tsipras loathes erdung as much as anybody else. But Greece’s so-called brethren in Europe, led by Germany, have pushed Greece into a corner, refusing to forgive or restructure a debt that Greece can never pay off as it now stands. And Tsipras may have been looking pacify or placate the wild maniac enemy to his east while fending off the northern European beasts. Greece’s experience with its partners and brethren in the EU and the Eurozone [that uses the euro currency] ought to be a lesson for Armenia. If you get too close to the EU they might treat you like they treat Greece. Many people in Israel already consider the EU an enemy.

5. ” Perhaps we Armenians must take it upon ourselves to remind Greece that making nice with Turkey under these circumstances will only lead to more losses. Should we start a campaign to write letters to Greek ambassadors worldwide? Maybe we start by taking them to a bar…”

   The Greek people know, but I think that we (the Greek people) are governed by “idiotic people”. First Tsipras was heavily criticised for inviting Erdgan in Greece. Despite that I am not sure if he got the message.

   I am glad that you as Armenians pointed out the reality. Turks went to sink a boat in Greek waters near the Greek island IMIA (of course the Greek captains are way more experienced than the Turkish ones and we did not have dead people) and our government just observes from a distance. The Turks (ministry of foreign affairs) called the island Turkish, and the Greek reply is that the Turks do not know geography. In any case I think that now the government knows and the minister of defense said that if we need to fight we will fight. I feel myself that the Greek society although tired from the economic crisis, it is unpredictable and might rise in the need to defend itself.

6. The stain of Armenian ,Greek and Syrian blood spilled by the acts of genocide of the Turks has not not been washed away in the collective memory of the innocent victims. Erdogan is rattling a visions of Turkeys aggressive military forces.His targets are easy lightly armed Kurds in Afrin against a full attacking force of airforce ,heavy artilery and tanks with paid mecenaries. He will endeavor to scare Greece and Cyprus to take the hydrocarbons in the Aegean and the seas around Greek Cyprus. If he has a go at Greece he will start the beginning of the end for the Turkish nation that will be divided into pieces with a Kurdish homeland .

7. For sure Turkey will put claim to as many Greek islands as it can in the event of an invasion.
   The Turks have always been a violent and warmongering culture. It is hard-coded into their very DNA. And the crimes against humanity by the Turks are legion. The Armenian Holocaust (yes, Holocaust!!) in 1915 is a glaring example of their inherent brutality against other human beings that they constantly deny.
   Erdagon is just expressing to the world what the Turk truly is…..barbaric, arrogant, and intellectually limited. He has no concept of a world community, for he feels justified in his thinking that all those around him are enemies to invade and plunder, and diplomacy is not ifirmly embedded in the Turkish brain.
   I hope the Turks ratchet up their threats of war, for when they do militarily attack another NATO country they will be put in their place in very short order by the very international community the Turk obviously despises.

8. Dear friend I agree with you and I am Greek. However Erdogan underestimates the Greek people, as he thinks that we are like our politicians. Turkey this week in the national security council has agreed to invade Greece. Be sure that we are ready to efficiently defend our country.

9. In the event of any occupation by Turkey of Armenia or Greece. Armenians and greeks should work together. We should not be afraid of them, we should not be afraid to resort to IRA style tactics. For those who don’t know who the IRA are, they are the Irish Republican Army, they led for a long time a guerilla war of liberation for Ireland which after hundreds of years they got in the early 20s. In 1969 they began a campaign of terror bombings and shootings that went until 2007. Northern Ireland is still British however Catholics now have more rights in Northern Ireland than they did 800 yrs prior. And they have their liberated homeland, despite the fact they were fighting a world power that was/is literally next door. Thus don’t be afraid, stop your public outbursts in nations like America and USA because you embarrass us and turn the people of these nations against us. Instead, live your individual lives daily with happiness and know that ultimately, we greeks and Armenians will beat the Turks in the end. We are ready as our ancestors before us were and our descendants will be ready and will be heartless in their vengeance. Sure the Ira have a very questionable record, they made lives better for their countrymen and liberated their nations. Greece and Armenia will continue to exist and should turkey and it’s puppet Azerbaijan occupy any piece of Armenia and greek land, we all around the world will mobilise as soldiers, IRA style. The IRA was more effective against Britain than any Irish politician ever was in the years prior.
