Dear Kanan, the problem is that yes Armenians have done and are capable of all sorts of horrific actions, but the world feels for them because they know who is at the position of power.

Think of it this way. A parent beats the child and then child takes a stick and hits the parent, who do you sympathize with? Unless you are an idiot, you would take the side of the child, and I suppose you are not an idiot.

Since the Turks came to power in the 10th century or so, Armenians have been the weaker side, not the more powerful side. In Azerbaijan, the parent country is Azerbaijan, Armenians were your citizens, so why did you organize Baku Pogroms, Sumgait Pogroms, Kirovabad, OMON and etc and etc, and then why do you blame it all on Armenians (Azeris claim that Sumgait pogroms were organized by Armenians to beat their own). The very same is true with Ottomans, Armenians were their citizens, is it really the case that they couldn’t find some sort of common ground with them? Did they really need to wipe them out instead of offering them better living conditions?

I like that Ottomans blamed it all on Russians, yeah Armenians chose Russians, sure you choose one evil empire over another for no reason, why would you do it if the empire you live in provides you with all you need? Do you know that at this time there were much more prominent Armenians in Turkey than in Russian Armenia, there is absolutely no theoretical reason why Armenians would prefer the Russian rule over Turkish, none. It was only because Armenians and all christians were subject to constant degradation, and so they chose an alternative.

Back to your question as to why people close their eyes to what Armenians do. People never sympathize with those who have power and abuse it. You say Armenian Aggression, then they look at the map, see a tiny poor country surrounded by two of its biggest foes who proudly kill them and they say how can this little country with nothing be aggressive towards oil rich Azerbaijan or 80million strong Turkey. How? This aggression story only makes sense to you, because you have been told that Armenians are aggressive towards you and you chose to believe it. But these stories are not true, Armenians are not aggressive towards you, they are simply trying to survive your governments genocidal policies. If you ever meet an Armenian and you say that you come with peace the next thing you know you would be drinking wine and eating xorovac, everyone who has been with Armenians knows that. They are not aggressive to you, not at all. Your government just doesn’t want them there, they want them gone, wiped out completely, and this is the root of the conflict.

Somehow those who live in Azerbaijan believe the nonsense that they are given. But to the world, to those who have not been paid by the Azeri government, the situation is clear. You are on the side of power and you are abusing it, Armenians are only defending themselves.

Russia is not denying the Armenian Genocide, they recognized it before just about everyone.

The logic you have is completely screwed up. Say a few gangs did this or that, okay kill them. You took an entire culture, an entire nation, a language, customs, love stories, memories, an entire way of life and uprooted it from its home and spread it all over the world, there are no Armenians living on lands where they lived for centuries and it is only because of your government’s policies. This is the very definition of genocide.

Also, while it is true that the US army committed a genocide against natives, this is not something that anyone denies.

You arｅ amazing! Thanks!
