Dear Mr. Sassounian!
I have read your article “Armenia’s Jewish Community Leader Lashes out at Pro-Azeri Propagandists” of January 27, 2015, and once again feel compelled to respond!
I have a distinct feeling that you would prefer to see a world war rather than peaceful coexistence among nations. Why should Israel, more democratic than Armenia, not have good relations with the Turcic world? For tens of years excellent relations in every field existed between Israel and Turkey. Interestingly enough, Turkey had recognized the State of Israel long before Armenian and Greece.
What you will never be able to explain is; how come the Armenian and Jewish Communities in turkey, are the richest members of Turkish society! Come on Mr. Sassounian, tell us, don’t be shy.
Furthermore, it is indeed laughable that, of all people, you Sir should be complaining about President Aliev’s manipulation and molding opinion I the West. If the Armenian Diaspora which you are wrongly leading had spent half of her funds and influence in helping poor Armenia, unemployment and poverty would be halved the very least.
May I also remind you Mr. Sassounian that, recently the Parliaments of the UK, Germany and Australia have spoken out against that Armenian myth of “Genocide”. Why don’t you write about those democratic decisions of conviction rather than those of convenience for you?
FYI:
1). German Bundestag: “Gedenken an das Leid der Armenier”

2). Australia does not recognize the events of 1915….
3). The UK Position
” Following Mr Robertson’s report (In November 2009, following instruction by The Armenian Centre, Geoffrey Robertson QC published a legal opinion entitled “Was there an Armenian genocide?” ) and the publicity it attracted we have updated our public lines to make clear that HMG does not believe it is our place to make a judgment (historical or legal) on whether or not the Armenian massacres constituted genocide. Instead our lines focus on the need for the governments of Turkey and Armenia to adopt some form of truth and reconciliation process. We believe that this issue can only be resolved through a process owned by those directly engaged. We have rejected the claim that Ministers or officials have misled Parliament”
