Well my friend Turks and Azerbaijanis may be racists (Show me any one race that does not have any racists?) but by concentrating so much in the past and not thinking the future, I have witnessed fist hand that Armenians are raising multiple generation of racists.Do you think it has helped?
Problem is that even if we forget the past, we cannot escape the animosity manifested between these two nations. If we focus on the present, we can easily witness the continuous denial of the genocide, the zero reparations for the survivors and for their descendants, the cowardly murders of Gurgen Margaryan and Sevan Balikci, both happened in the 21st century (the present). These facts should not encourage racism against Azeris or Turks but they put a strain on any development of relations.
By stating that “Armenians are raising multiple generations of racists”, you’re no better than the racist because you seriously generalized a whole population. More than half of the Armenians that I know have went to Turkey for leisure, drinking cocktail on the shores of the Turkish Riviera. It seems that you have seen the fascistic side of Armenians which is normal if you crawl through the Internet where there is a disproportionate representation of ultra-nationalists. Armenians and Turks might not get along on national level, but many of them enjoy warm relationships on individual level.
You’re diverting. That’s a common tactic by Turks that I have encountered on the Internet. It’s always some peace and love platitude about how two wrongs don’t make a right or some thing. We don’t need to talk about the past we only need to look at the present to understand why there is tense relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and Turkey and Armenia. President Erdogan has made it clear in speeches that he intends to finish the work of his forefathers. Those were his words on the anniversary of what he refers to as the Armenian massacres of Turkish people. I’m sorry but it’s a simple acknowledgment of some thing that happened in the past combined with a change in rhetoric in the present that needs to take place before you are going to find change happening.
. On the flipside of this is that there are many Armenian people that don’t hate Turkish people simply hate the former ottoman government and the current Turkish government. I wouldn’t exist if Turkish people had not hidden my grandfather during the genocide so I was taught never to hate Turks.
The current behavior from Azerbaijan on the other hand though, is absolutely abhorrent. They’re trying to start a new war and take land that is not theirs and they don’t like that Armenians are Christians. Make no mistake about any of this. It’s all about removing the only Christian nation in the area. Same when it comes to the Greeks and other groups that have been slaughtered, mutilated, desecrated and antagonized from millennia by Turkic‘s
Mr Handsome , It appears that you are not a racist,how many persons as you are there.
