April 24 (again)
dichotomies highlight
complexities existing
in our hearts, souls and minds
warped by news and
fake news or just
plain old propaganda
chanting never again
never again!
never again!!
to no! not again!
not again, no,
no, not again…
we gotta do something!
we must do something!
it has to stop
Can somebody do something?
say those who can’t
do very much

Azerbaijan’s cultural Armenian Genocide is no different from the Taliban’s and ISIS’ systematic destruction of cultural heritage, which caused global headlines and outrage. This is partly a rhetorical question, but why is Azerbaijan’s systematic destruction of Armenian cultural heritage almost never reported in the news, let alone condemned internationally? Likewise, why does the plight and suffering of Armenians not attract the world’s attention and sympathy, let alone lead to protests around the world, as in the case of Palestinians?
It is beyond frustrating Steve how much we are ignored?
Is it just numbers? Is it on purpose?
The world’s indifference and silence to the suffering of the Armenians is indeed deeply frustrating and troubling. I try to fathom the reason for this utter indifference and silence. I believe this indifference and silence stems not only from ignorance, I also believe it is on purpose.
Khirimian Hyrig’s charge is still valid. If we want our share of herissah from the global bowl, we have to have an iron ladle.
100%
Insularity, when there’s wrongs elsewhere in the world Armenians are very good at keeping a low profile and “we’re Armenian, it’s not our matter and thus we don’t wish to get involved” which is why most of world is ambivalent towards Armenians as they aren’t seen as an interfering people, however when Armenia is under attack other people just look on and shrug shoulders with indifference.
Good point.
