Just like the US has been screwing Armenians for the past one hundred years…
But the thing is we still don’t realize this.
You spelled ‘Russia’ wrong.
Armenia gave its life to Russia in WWII so that Russia can become a dominant world power. All Armenia got back in return was… hmm can’t think of anything. Maybe the “Bishkek Protocols”? Oh wait… that’s not a plus, sorry.
Nobody is screwing the Kurds over. They are not entitled to carve out parts of Syria and Iraq for their own gain. They will simply expel Arabs, Armenians, and Assyrians if they win independence and ally themselves with Israel.
By giving the Syrian and Iraqi governments the chance to regain their territory, it allows the Kurds and those two Arab states to negotiate on equal footing.
This Pro-Kurdish sentiment that exists among some Armenians is a truly bizarre phenomenon. The Kurds will simply become subordinate allies to Israel and forget about Armenia because it would not be in the interest of their ally Israel.It seems we only express skepticism of alliances when it comes to The West, Russia, and China. With everyone else we just blindly trust them, but this has to stop.
Thank you, Garen.
In connection with our august Commander In Chief’s brilliant idea of withdrawing American troops from Syria and turning its fate over to the tender mercies of Erdogan, it should be noted that Patrick Coburn wrote an incisive and, doubtless, prophetic article published eight months ago in the 5 April 2018 issue of London Review of Books in which, among other things, he says the following (paraphrasing):
Erdogan can scarcely attack Kurdish held territory so long as it is protected by the US. The US does not need the Kurds as much as it once did in the fight against IS, but it still needs an ally on the ground if it is to retain any influence in Syria, and again the Kurds are the only candidates for the role. Erdogan will wait for his opportunity to attack, knowing that he hasn’t won a real victory until he destroys the Syrian Kurdish quasi-state of which Afrin was only a small part.
So now we wait for the all too predictable…
