US Genocide Recognition and the Assault on Armenia’s Sovereignty

When people ask me what am I in terms of nationality my respond is American but Armenian by heritage. However, after reading Mr. Piligian article I am embarrassed to be both. One because my America is becoming a worthless protector (what Minsk group?) and two faced. Second what has Armenia been thinking in for the last 30 years in terms of protecting itself. I wish I had read this before thanking President Biden for his recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

What I don’t get is that over 100 members of the United States House of Representatives sent a detailed letter of six specific policy priorities of the Armenian Caucus to the United States Secretary of State and United States Secretary of Defense. This letter was answered nearly 3 months letter in a dismissive fashion by the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs who just so happens to be of Turkish descent. The six policy priorities were largely ignored. Shouldn’t our congressional representatives who signed this letter feel insulted and outraged that they were essentially blown off? The two individuals who the letter was addressed to didn’t even have the courtesy to respond. If nearly one fourth of the United States House of Representatives can get blown off by a subordinate member of the State Department what does that say about our representative government? Who is the State Department accoutable to?

Thanks to Stepan Piligian for his on-target criticism of Pres. Biden’s statement. Not enough Armenians have been critical.

I am even more critical, but from other angles:

I hope one day our naive Armenian nation, both in the Diaspora and in the homeland, will wake up and realize that Armenians don’t have and never have had any genuine friends in this world. We must stop relying on others to do this and that for us. We must wise up and take our destiny into our own hands through a united front and dictate to the world our demands by our collective strength instead of relying on third parties to look after our interests. They won’t! All the nations we look up to are only after their own self-interests and they will use and abuse our genuine concerns to that end. They are experts in manipulation and giving lip service, without any concrete steps and actions, to appease us by giving us the illusion that they are doing something. They aren’t! They will make empty speeches and play political Ping-Pong with our past and present tragedies and at the end of the day they won’t lift a finger to put their money where their mouths are because their current and long-term interests lie not with us but with our enemies on both sides of the homeland.

Despite genocidal and terrorist Turkey’s collaboration with their traditional Russian adversary, they will continue to keep fascist and oppressive Turkey in their NATO alliance, while preaching democracy to the rest of the world, because they need despotic Turkish leaders consent to use their assets, i.e. their military bases and geo-political importance in the region in today’s occupied Western Armenia, to control and to have a foot-hold in the Middle East. As for criminal Azerbaijan invented artificially on illegally seized Armenian territories a century ago, they need to secure their energy companies multi-billion dollar investments in the Caspian oil and gas to pump into Europe through Turkified Georgia and terrorist Turkey. Think about it folks. Why does or why should the United States send tax payer money as aid to criminal Azerbaijan when they themselves make enough petrodollars to buy deadly weapons every single year, to kill Armenians and destroy their cultural heritage, and according to their terrorist leadership, weapons worth more than the entire Armenia’s annual state budget while the Armenian lobby in the United States has to fight tooth and nail to secure humanitarian aid to landlocked and blockaded Armenia and Artsakh equal to a fraction of “aid” given to terrorist Azerbaijan? It does not make any sense. But apparently it makes a lot of sense to them to these western empty and double-talkers because their national interests lie with terrorist Turkey and criminal Azerbaijan and not with Armenia.

These hypocrites showed their true faces by their passive approach and inaction in the last terroristic 44-day war imposed on the Armenians by combined forces of genocidal Turkey and artificial Azerbaijan along with thousands of fatherless Islamist Jihadist paid-mercenaries imported from Syria and tens of billions of petrodollars worth of deadly weapons and UAVs (drones) purchased from former Soviet despots and hypocritical and morally bankrupt Israel. They sat back and watched their NATO ally terrorist Turkey use NATO assets to kill and destroy our homeland. The only thing they cared about and received guarantees from the naïve Armenians was not to hit and destroy the oil and gas pipelines supplying energy to Europe! Wake up Armenians! Stop being so gullible. Ultimately we and only we can and are responsible for guaranteeing our security. Not even our so-called military” ally” Russia! We must militarize the entire country with deadly and modern technology. That is the only way our enemies will respect us and their terrorist hands off our homeland. It is time to acquire nuclear weapons!

I am really happy that Joe Biden recognizes the Armenian Genocide.
