Not to be confused with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) which is the most common form of dementia. This degenerative and terminal disease was named after the psychiatrist and neuropathologist that first described it. In the early stages, the most commonly recognized symptom is memory loss. This is an incurable disease striking millions of aging people every year. This is not what I am talking about in ALZ”HYE”MER’S disease.
ALZ”HYE”MER’S is more of a later stage, quirky disease that inexplicably develops in patients already suffering from BOGUS GENOCIDIS, a curable social disease with a commonly recognized symptom of severe “SELECTIVE MEMORY LOSS”. The ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will hate Turks, Muslims, and anyone who disagrees with Armenians, forget only those facts that refute their claims.
For instance, ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember 1915, but not 1914 when the Armenians terrorists, revolutionaries, and ultra-nationalists took up arms against their own government, attacked the rear of their own army, garrisons, banks, schools, and even their neighbors causing wide spread death and destruction.
ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember temporary resettlement order of May 1915 but not the Van Revolt Armenians staged, killing 40,000 Muslims, mostly Turks and Kurds, and turning the city over to the invading Russian armies. They cannot appreciate that this Van Revolt was the equivalent of 9/11 for the Ottoman Government and the April 24 decision to arrest the leaders of Armenian insurgency, terrorism, and fifth column as the equivalent of Guantanamo.
ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember Morgenthau (who was a rabid Turk-hater allowing his Armenian secretaries to falsify events in diplomatic reports and who posed as a career diplomat, historian, and a writer, but in fact, he was none of those, other than a real estate agent and a developer who raised the most money for Wilson campaign in 1912 and was rewarded with an ambassadorial post) but not Bristol who replaced him and refuted his claims of one-sided massacres with no provocation. They will also not remember Harbord, Niles, and Sutherland, all honorable U.S. soldiers who were commissioned to tour the war torn areas and report on their findings and which findings also refuted Armenian tall tales of extermination.
ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember Armenian women and children marching to scorching deserts but not Muslim women and children marching to freezing mountains under threat of death by Armenians and/or Russians just prior to former. They will remember their march but not others’ marches at the same time, same area, and due to same wartime conditions. They will also not remember Armenian complicity in war crimes and hate crimes that resulted in the TERESET (temporary resettlement). They will totally forget the six T’s of the Turkish-Armenian conflict: tumult (as in many bloody revolts), terrorism, treason, territorial demands, Turkish dead, and TERESET.
ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember the fake claim of 1.5 million alleged Armenian dead, but not remember the March 29, 1919 Paris Peace conference report setting the loss of Armenians at “more than 200,000”. They will also not remember how, magically by a crooked Armenian printer, this number was tripled within two months, as seen in a poster soliciting American aid in churches claiming 600,000 Armenian dead. They will also forget how this shenanigans was further increased to 800,000 with the flick of a pen in a New York Times article and late to a million and even 1.5 million today. Armenian dead are the only known case in humanity where the DEAD MULTIPLY!
ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE sufferers will remember to tell the world the shameless lies of Turks burning the city of Izmir in 1922 but not the 22 Armenian Dashnak terrorists dressed up as Turkish soldiers who started the fires to avenge Turkish victory and to leave no prize behind for the Turkish victors.
As the ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE advances, symptoms include confusion, irritability, aggression, mood swings, language breakdown, threats, intimidation and even violence at the sight of a Turk. This disease, as strange and self-imposed as it is, is reversible if truth can be administered to aggressive, violent, and deceptive patients.
First, shock the patient with the photos of Armenian murderers and their Turkish victims at www.ethocide.com and follow up with a generous dose of truth with the “Six T’s of the conflict”. Watch for signs of life. If the patient responds favorably, then introduce him to legendary Turkish hospitality. Watch for fake signs of recovery or early signs of relapse. Some patients can be very dangerous. That said, there is always hope for full recovery of the patients if they see Turkish doctors.

“HYE” IS THE CURSE
Hye is “Armenian” in the Armenian language. This tiny word, “hye”, is almost always used in such embarrassing company, however, that the “hyes” prefer to call themselves some other word, Armenians, in English.
When one takes the liberty to stretch the root “hy” fully as “hye”—as I am sure you will extend the courtesy to me to freely exercise of such an entertaining thought process—then one sees nothing but diseases, suffering, and morbid characters attached to the root “hye”. Check it out yourselves:
***

“HYE”STERIA
A state of extreme or exaggerated emotion such as excitement or panic, especially among large numbers of people. ( Does this description remind you of some people in an otherwise normal and beautiful city called Glendale? I don’t know about you, but it sure reminds me of perennial resolutions, deceptive memorials, and overall obsession with hate, vengeance, and death. Brrr. )
***

“HYE”PE
To agitate; to create interest in dramatic methods; to intensify (advertising, promotion, or publicity) by questionable claims, methods; to trick; to gull, to deceive, to trick, or to cheat; as a noun: swindle, deception, or trick; but also: a drug addict, esp. one who uses a hypodermic needle. ( Agitation, cheating, swindle, deception, trick? Hmmm… Why do these terms always come up when Armenian claims are discussed?)
There are more jewels in the history of the term “HYE”PE: “excessive or misleading publicity or advertising,” 1967, Amer. Eng. (the verb is attested from 1937), probably in part a back-formation of hyperbole, but also from underworld slang sense “swindle by overcharging or short-changing” (1926), a back-formation of hyper “short-change con man” (1914), from prefix hyper- meaning “over, to excess.” Also possibly influenced by drug addicts’ slang hype, 1913 shortening of hypodermic needle. In early 18c., hyp “morbid depression of the spirits” was colloquial for hypochondria (usually as the hyp or the hyps).
***
“HYE”POCHONDRIA
Often referred to as health phobia or health anxiet refers to an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. Often, “HYE”POCHONDRIA persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured them that their concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness, the concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease. Many people suffering from this disorder focus on a particular symptom as the catalyst of their worrying, such as gastro-intestinal problems, palpitations, or muscle fatigue or Turks.
“HYE”POCHONDRIA is often characterized by fears that minor bodily symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one’s body. (Preoccupation? Could it be the pre-occupation with genocide lies and slanders?)
Many individuals with “HYE”POCHONDRIASIS express doubt and disbelief in the doctors’ diagnosis, and report that doctors’ reassurance about an absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing. Many “HYE”POCHONDRIACS require constant reassurance, either from doctors, family, or friends, and the disorder can become a disabling torment for the individual with “HYE”POCHONDRIASIS, as well as his or her family and friends. Some “HYE”POCHONDRIACAL individuals are completely avoidant of any reminder of illness, whereas others are frequent visitors of doctors’ offices. (Could these doctors be Schiff, Palone, Menendez, and Berman, et. al.?)
***
“HYE”NA
This one is my favorite because the definition fits like a glove the character of Armenian falsifier and Turk-hater. Here it is:
“Carnivorous but only for carrion, these ugly, smelly animals with their raucous voices and hysterical-sounding laughter are offensive in most ways. Doglike nocturnal mammal that feeds chiefly on carrion. Famed scavengers and often dine on the leftovers of other predators. The Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania actually leave their dead to be consumed by hyenas. In some areas they have been heavily hunted as destructive pests. Although hyenas appear similar to dogs, they are actually more closely related to cats. They live throughout much of Africa and eastwards through Arabia to India. Spotted hyenas live together in large groups called clans. Packs work together effectively to isolate a herd animal, sometimes one that is ill or infirm, and pursue it to the death. The victors often squabble over the spoils. Spotted hyenas are quite vocal and make a wide variety of sounds, including the “laughing resolutions” that has long been associated with their name.”
(Wow, that’s what I call “hole in one”!)

THE ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION: DEEP TERROR & PSYCHOSIS
PSYCHOSIS , a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a ‘loss of contact with reality’, points to an abnormal condition of the mind. People suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic.
When I deal with Armenian falsifiers and Turk-haters (i.e. the AFATH community with some exceptions, of course) I am reminded of this psychiatric term. Loss of contact with reality is not a new phenomenon in the AFATH community. Even the first prime minister of the short-lived Armenia (1918-1920) described the same phenomenon in his address to the ARF convention in Bucahrest in July, 1923. Here are his words :
“… We had created a dense atmosphere of illusion in our minds. We had implanted our own desires into the minds of others; we had lost our sense of reality and were carried away with our dreams. From mouth to mouth, from ear to ear passed mysterious words purported to have been spoken in the palace of the Viceroy; attention was called to some kind of a letter by Vorontzov-Dashkov to the Catholicos as an important document in our hands to use in the presentation of our rights and claims — a cleverly composed letter with very indefinite sentences and generalities which might be interpreted in any manner, according to one’s desire.

“ We overestimated the ability of the Armenian people, its political and military power, and overestimated the extent and importance of the services our people rendered to the Russians. And by overestimating our very modest worth and merit we were naturally exaggerating our hopes and expectations.

“ The deportations and mass exiles and massacres which took place during the Summer and Autumn of 1915 were mortal blows to the Armenian Cause. Half of historical Armenia —the same half where the foundations of our independence would be laid according to traditions inherited from the early eighties and as the result of the course adopted by European diplomacy — that half was denuded of Armenians: the Armenian provinces of Turkey were without Armenians. The Turks knew what they were doing and have no reason to regret today. It was the most decisive method of extirpating the Armenian Question from Turkey.

Again, it would be useless to ask today to what extent the participation of volunteers in the war was a contributory cause of the Armenian calamity. No one can claim that the savage persecutions would not have taken place if our behavior on this side of the frontier was different, as no one can claim the contrary, that the persecutions would have been the same even if we had not shown hostility to the Turks. This is a matter about which it is possible to have many different opinions…” [1]
That PSYCHOSIS, loss of touch with reality, a cultivated and treasured Armenian trait, has been evident in every phase of Armenian past and even more so at present. Armenia, a land-locked, poverty stricken, corrupt, aggressive and violent little regime still hopes to survive with all the Armenian war crimes and hate crimes unaddressed.
They seriously believe that aggression in Karabakh, capture by brutal aggression of the seven provinces of Azerbaijan surrounding Karabakh, forcing a million Azeri men, women, and children out of their homes, into exile on their own soil, keeping the ethnically cleansed areas under a ruthless military occupation, passionately pursuing irredentist policies claiming territories of all neighbors (such as eastern Anatolia from Turkey, Javakheti region from Georgia, northwestern region from Iran, and who knows what from Russia and others) will somehow be kept away from the negations table just because Armenians says so. Dream on psychotics, dreaming is free. What is not free is breaking the isolation around Armenia. There is a cost for that: rollback to 1991. The Armenian aggression and ethnic cleansing will not stand, with or without protocols, and the sooner Armenia sees this, the better it is for Armenia. Otherwise Armenia will be relegated to dustbin of history soon as a distant, inaccessible, and inhospitable province of vast Russia. That possibility is not far fetched considering the facts that the Russians already own 80% of the country, including but not limited to transportation, energy, telecommunications, and more. Russians even stamp your passport as you enter the scary country and stand watch on its borders.

Inflicted with ALZ”HYE”MER’S DISEASE, Armenians choose to selectively forget the other side of the story which involves Armenian revolts, terrorism, raids, assassinations, bomb attacks, treason, Turkish victims, and TERESET (temporary resettlements.) Then they display selective morality, grieving only for Armenian suffering, totally ignoring the suffering the Armenians caused others. Armenian psychosis , or ‘loss of contact with reality’, while pointing to an abnormal condition of the mind, will no longer be allowed to destroy peace in the Caucasus, the middle east, or the west.
A healthy dose of truth and reality should spoil the free lunch of laughing hyenas still feeding on the Turkish corpses of the World War One after 100 years or precisely known Azeri corpses of Karabakh, the seven surrounding provinces of Azerbaijan, and Khodjaly, after 18 years.

THIS CITY HAS RESCINDED THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION
DECLARING THE RESOLUTION NULL AND VOID

According to the news article below that appeared on April 2, 2010, in the largest daily in Turkiye, Hurriyet, this Ukranian city of Izyum, population 60,000 and about 80 miles from the capitol of Harkov province, Ukraine, has rescinded on March 26, 2010 the genocide resolution that it passed in December 2009, thus no longer recognizing the Armenian claims at face value. Citing a report by the Crimean News Agency, the article heralds the first decision of its kind anywhere, which may indeed, be a turning point, a beginning of the end, for the diaspora Armenian propaganda efforts.

Rehim Hümbetov, president of the Crimean-Azerbaijani Association, they worked hard to get the Armenian propaganda annulled, by suing the resolution on grounds that it violated Ukranian law, that it should be reviewed and rescinded, and won after intensive efforts.

Rehim Hümbetov stated that the time has come to wage an international effort to overturn all such resolutions misrepresenting Armenian propaganda as settled history.

Wow! I wonder if the days of “hye”nas feeding on Turkish corpses of WWI may be over…

Who knows?

Anyway, Here is the original article:

BU KENT TANIDIĞI ‘SOYKIRIMI’ IPTAL ETTI

A.A. / hurriyet.com.tr , 2 Nisan 2010

Ukrayna’nın Harkov bölgesindeki bir yerel belediye meclisi, 1915 olaylarına ilişkin Ermeni iddialarıyla ilgili daha önce kabul ettiği kararını iptal etti.

Kırım Haber Ajansı’nın haberine göre, İzyum Şehir Belediye Meclisi, Aralık 2009’da kabul ettiği Ermeni iddialarıyla ilgili kararı, 26 Mart’ta yapılan toplantıda iptal etti.

Haberde, Ukrayna’da alınan bu iptal kararının, dünyada 1915 olaylarıyla ilgili ilk iptal örneği olduğu belirtildi.

Karara ilişkin açıklama yapan ve iptal kararının alınması için çok çalıştıklarını belirten Kırım Azerbaycanlılar Derneği Başkanı Rehim Hümbetov, “Artık Ermeni iddialarına ilişkin kabul edilen kararların iptali için uluslararası düzeyde mücadele etme vaktinin geldiğini” söyledi.

Hümbetov, belediye meclisinin daha önce aldığı kararın, Ukrayna kanunlarına aykırı olduğunu belirterek, incelenmesi ve iptali için İzyum savcılığına da başvurduklarını ve yoğun çabalar sonucunda kararın iptal edilmesini sağladıklarını belirtti.

Yaklaşık 60 bin nüfuslu şehir, Harkov’un merkezinden 120 kilometre uzaklıkta bulunuyor.

Good news! Apparently, an unassuming event in a place tucked away in picturesque Spain may elucidate the ugliness and shamelessness behind the persistent Armenian deception surrounding the alleged genocide.

It is not uncommon to wake up to news that the parliament of so and so place passed a resolution recognizing the alleged” Armenian genocide. Names like Wales, Catalonia, Patagonia, Uruguay, and others make you think: “What? Do these voters even know where Armenia is today, let alone the complexities of the Armenian revolts, treason, and terrorism of 1877-1921 period and the Ottoman Empire’s security measures taken in response to them some 100 years ago half a world away?”

Then you read the resolution and go : “Hmmm. Where did I read that before?”

Finally it downs on you: it is the same worthless and baseless propaganda piece you have seen in all the perennial resolutions in the US Congress and elsewhere, penned by the Armenian extremists, and shoved down the throats of unsuspecting public through equally devious and selfish politicians who could not give a damn about history and even less about human rights. Because if they did, they would not violate the human rights of Turks by ignoring article 11 which says every human being is entitled to defend him/herself in the face of accusations. Turks’ right to defend themselves against the accusation of a high crime are stripped with the ill-informed and malicious votes. American (and universal) value of assumption of innocence until the guilt is proven, at a court of law, after due process, is abandoned.

This happens all too often, no thanks to the deceitful Armenian lobby, victimizing Turks. In the meantime, no word of condemnation of Armenian terrorism since 1973 causing 70+ fatalities among Turkish diplomats or Armenian ethnic cleansing and aggression in Azerbaijan since 1992 causing one million Azeris to suffer in leaky tents while their homes are populated by Armenian soldiers conducting target practice on places of Azeri cultural heritage, schools, and mosques. I guess current human suffering of enormous dimensions is not as important to these righteous, virtuous, honorable politicians as the falsified history of a scheming Armenian radicals.

Back to the story. You then dig a bit deeper to find out about the Patagonia-Armenia connection and that’s when you notice the dishonest and corrupt Armenian lobby rearing its ugly head. You check it in Wales… Catalonia… You see them everywhere… And the mystery is resolved: the politicians are duped by the Armenian lobby.

Here is how the Armenian lobby does it: the contacts of the Armenian community are used to impress upon unsuspecting people that Armenian are persecuted by Turks, never showing them the photos of Armenian thugs armed-to-the-teeth (www.ethocide.com) murdering Turkish women and children. The Armenian lobby only talks about how bloody the Turkish retaliation were, but never about Armenian rebellions, treason, bombings, assassinations, hostage takings, bank raids, murders, and terrorism, at a time of war, when the motherland was under brutal foreign occupations, that finally drove the Turks to TERESET (temporarily resettle) the Armenians suspected of fifth column activities.

An intensely emotional atmosphere is created before the vote is taken. That’s when the tricky Armenian lobby, for good measure, wheels in a few 80-year-olds in wheel chairs and pass them as “genocide survivors”. The theatrical stage is set for a bogus Armenian genocide. Resolution passes.

Then you read in the media that so and so place has accepted the genocide resolution, never mentioning all the fanfare and drama staged by the fraudulent Armenian lobby. The impression is created that, somehow, these people in some part of the world, all of a sudden, came to their senses on a raging moment of righteousness attack, decide to call a spade a spade. Really? Where did that come from? You wonder.

These shenanigans, at least in one case, in the case of Catalonia, was exposed today when an irate president “apologized” to Turkey for the abuse of his parliamentarian system by the wily Armenian lobby.

First we read that “…the decision of Catalonian Parliament on recognition of Armenian genocide allegations does not reflect the opinion of Spain regarding to the issue…” Turkey’s Foreign Minister Davutoglu discusses the issue with his Spanish counterpart and expresses Turkey’s concerns . He stresses that “… Turkey condemns recognition of baseless (genocide) claims and that it is not the job of local or national parliaments to write history.” Davutoglu is pleased to hear from his Spanish counterpart that the “…Spanish government announced that recognition of so called Armenian genocide does not reflect the views of the Spanish government related to the issue”. Then comes the clincher. Catalonian Autonomous Government’s President Jose Montilla apologizes on behalf of his administration and stresses “…that the decision was baseless…” (source: .)

So, here you are, dear fair-minded truth-seeker, another Armenian falsification is exposed. If you go after each and every recognition masquerade in all forty states and the House Foreign Affairs Committee in the United States and some twenty countries, mostly in Europe, you will see the common thread of deception and distortion by Armenians running through all of them, repeat, all of them. No self-respecting parliament would reduce itself to the level of approving a fallacy and legislating a racist and dishonest version of history. It is only a matter of time before the entire Armenian hullabaloo bites the dirt as spotlights of scrutiny and critical thinking are shone on the Armenian propaganda.

So, what did just happen here?

First came the vote, then the apology for the vote.

Hmmm. I say chalk this one off to the start of enlightenment and awakening. Turkish perseverance in sticking with the truth, in a sea of bias and bigotry, may be paying some dividends after all.

One word of advice to the Armenians who shamelessly promote a bogus genocide: GET A LIFE!

March 12, 2010

Hon. Ambassador Jonas Hafström
Embassy of Sweden
2900 K Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20007, USA
Phone: 202-467 2600
Fax: 202-467 2699
Email: [email protected]

Dear Ambassador Hafström,

According to the report of International Radio of Sweden, Sweden’s former Consulate General to Istanbul and Middle East expert Ingmar Karlsson said that the decision of Swedish Parliament will have negative effects especially on Armenia. Stressing that Armenia is isolated from the rest of the world, Karlsson said, “The ones who consider that they are struggling for Armenia should know that their efforts will affect Armenia negatively.” Karlsson stressed that voting in the Swedish parliament may undermine the achievements that are made till now and said, “The risk for Armenia to fall under the influence of Russia is more than any other time now.” (Source: .)
I agree with Ingmar Karlsson and wish to record it here for the use of future generations, in no uncertain terms, that those politicians who voted for the bogus genocide in Washington DC and Stockholm are responsible for destroying a peace process.

Readers of my columns at www.turkla.com, www.historyoftruth, www.turkishny.com , www.turkishjournal.com , www.turkishforum.com , and elsewhere know well that I have repeatedly written that if Armenian does not wish to become a distant, irrelevant, isolated province of Russia, then Armenia must do three things:

1) stop the military occupation of Azerbaijan soil in Karabagh and the seven surrounding provinces (thus honoring the U.N. Security Council resolutions for same,)

2) allow a million Azeri refugees made refugees on their own soil at gunpoint by Armenian regulars and irregulars armed with Russian weapons and advisors,

3) and stop political pressure by its diaspora on foreign parliaments designed to defame and demonize Turkey with falsified history promoted as genocide in meaningless resolutions.

Armenia, and its diaspora, delivered on none of those expectations. Now that The U.S. Congress Foreign Affairs Committee and the Swedish Parliament, both voted by a single vote majority, to take Armenian propaganda at face value with total disregard for the truth, as summarized in the six T’s of the Turkish-Armenian conflict (www.turkla.com) , the Turkey is in no mood to feel charitable towards its land-locked, poverty-stricken, starving, aggressive, violent, corrupt, and tiny neighbor, Armenia. The protocols signed between the two last October, signaling a rapprochement of sorts, are pretty much dead-on-arrival now, thanks in no small part to those irresponsible politicians whose narrow personal interests outweighed the considerations of peace between two nations, and indeed an entire region of Caucasus involving Azerbaijan and Georgia.

I protest, therefore, the incredibly selfish actions of a few politicians who chose their own selfish interests over peace in a difficult region involving millions of people.

Sincerely,

Re:  “ The Armenian Genocide: A Case Of Selective Memory”,  By Dmitry Babich, RIA Novosti, Moscow, 9 March 2010, (produced below for your convenience – the undersigned thanks www.TurkishForum.com.tr for bringing this anti-Turkish, anti-Azeri, andti-Muslim artcile to my atention, giving me a chance to respond.)

THE BOGUS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: A CASE OF SELECTIVE MEMORY

Dear Editor,

So this is what Journalism Department of Moscow State University produces:  cockeyed look at world events to promote Russian interests at all costs.  Here is a writer who will shamelessly complain about selective memory while “practicing” it.

Did you read any lines about Azeris killed by Armenians above?

Did you see any remorse about Khodjaly exterminations of Azeris (genocide?) by Armenian thugs using Russian advisors and weapons?

Any word about the mass killings of Azeris in Karabagh by Armenian soldiers and paramilitaries under the command of Russian “advisors”  using Russian tanks?

Azeris were killed by Armenians toting Russian Mosins in 1893 and Russian Kalashnikovs in 1993?  Both under the leadership of Russian “advisors”.  What has changed in the hundred years, other than the model of the murder weapon?

How about Armenian aggression in the seven rayons (provinces) surrounding Karabagh?  Why is he silent about that?  Isn’t that pure aggression and persecution?

Most dramatic of all, perhaps, is the embarrassing silence of the Russian writer (and I use the term loosely) about the million or so Azeri refugees bracing, made homeless by the Armenian thugs toting Russian rifles, bracing for the 18th scorching summer after 17th freezing winter endured in leaky tents with little food or medicine.  Is this how a Russian “journalist” sees events?  Through the prism of selective memory?

Just like those biased promoters of a bogus genocide who will…

a) remember Morgenthau’s falsified reports but not Bristol’s or Hubbard’s eyewitness reports;

b) remember the long-discredited lie of 1.5 million dead Armenians, but not the Paris Peace Conference report dated 29 March 1919 declaring the number “…more than 200,000…” from which the current lie had originated;

c)  remember the Armenian dead (about 200,00 according to Paris Peace Conference of 1919) but not more than 524,000 Muslim, mostly Turkish dead;

d) remember 24 April as the start of a fake genocide, but not the fact that 24 April was nothing more than the Ottoman Guantanamo when the known Armenian terrorists, insurgents, and spies and their suspected accomplices, were arrested for questioning, some of whom were later released;

e) remember Turkish retaliations but not the Armenian revolts that started them, the biggest one of all being the Van rebellion of April 1915 which was the 9/11 of the Ottoman Empire when Armenian killed more than 40,000 of thei Muslim neighbors and turned the city over to the invading Russian armies;

f)  remember Dink, but not Arikan, and 70 other the Armenians killed since 1973;

g)  remember Armenia Tereset (temporary resettlement of 1915) but not the facts that Armenians backstabbed their own country at a time when the motherland was under brutal foreign invasion in the West (Dardanelles by the French, and Anzacs, in the East (by Russians and Armenians), in the South (by the British in Sinai, Palestine, and Mesopotamia);

h)  remember Armenians who were resettled because of their treasonous activities and revolts but not the Crimean Tatars (Turks) who were deported in cattle wagons to Kazakhstan, or Meshketian Turks to Uzbekiastan, or Koreans or Ukranians or Chechens or tens of millions of others  to  distant deserts and barren plains of Central Asia and icy regios of Siberia, who met worse tragic end, if such a thing is possible,  at the hands of their brutal Russian handlers… and many more (too long to list here)

i)  remember to quote the Armenian commentator Andronik today but not the Armenian terrorist Andranik of last century who ruthlessly murdered many non-combatant, unarmed Muslims, mostly Turks, after torturing them in unspeakable manners;  or those other Armenian terrorists like Dro, Aram, and thousands of others who were trained and supported by the Russians all along the way;

Russians are the last people on earth to talk about selective memory or persecution of defenseless ethnic people.

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: A CASE OF SELECTIVE MEMORY

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: A CASE OF SELECTIVE MEMORY

Dmitry Babich

RIA Novosti
15:44 09/03/2010
Moscow

A resolution on the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire, passed by the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Relations, has raised a real storm in international diplomacy.

Feverish diplomatic activity and apparent hesitations of the U.S. administration are a clear sign that Turkey’s foreign policy influence has grown.

The committee’s resolution is non-binding and it is not clear if it will be placed before the whole house, but Turkey has already recalled its ambassador to Ankara for consultations, while U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to The New York Times, has asked the Congress not to take up this delicate matter now.

When, in 1915, 1.5 million Armenians “disappeared” as a result of the action undertaken by the Young Turks’ government, Turkey and Armenia froze all contacts with each other. It was only last year that signs

of thawing first became manifest, and in the fall of 2009 the sides agreed to establish diplomatic relations. This was viewed as a success for the Turkish leadership, both the prime minister and the president.

Will now a final “thaw” be postponed again?

That is not likely, although Turkish politicians are certain to take advantage of the situation to improve their standing.

It is very likely that the current scandal will only boost the prestige of Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Not so long ago, he was the first politician in Turkish history to challenge the

military, saying he uncovered a military plot initially scheduled for 2003. Before that, Erdogan made out a successful case for the Palestinians as Muslim brothers, harshly criticizing Israel for its Gaza Strip operation. During the U.S. Iraqi campaign, Turkey never allowed American troops to pass through its territory, forcing Washington to invade Iraq only from the south.

Now the ambiguous position the U.S. has maintained for years on the Armenian genocide, which helped Washington to draw Turkey into NATO, is beginning to backfire against U.S. interests. This is a good

lesson for all, and it is not limited to the events of 1915. There are other examples. The Western mass media are still keeping silent about anti-Armenian violence in Baku in 1989-1990. Most reports mention only that Soviet troops were introduced into the city.

The reason for such selective memory in American and West European media is understandable: it is simple to place the blame on Moscow, forgetting all about previous events. At that moment, the troops

sent by Moscow saved the lives of thousands of Armenians and other “Russian speakers” in Baku. Even many Russian media find the subject of the violence in Baku unpopular and almost forbidden. Some say this could lose Russia advertising contracts and lead to conflicts with influential people.

“I do not know what has to be done to get the mass media throughout the world to highlight those events,” says political analyst Andronik Migranyan, a member of Russia’s Public Chamber. “Will Armenia itself

have to carry out PR campaigns to make things change?”

The point is that the events of 1915 and those of the 1980s in Armenia and Azerbaijan do not concern only Armenians; they concern everyone.

The anti-Armenian violence in Baku came after an inhumane expulsion of Azerbaijanians from Nagorny Karabakh, followed by the Khodzhala tragedy that shocked the world. People must remember everything,

because destruction of human life cannot be forgotten or remembered selectively. Otherwise, diplomatic embarrassments like the present U.S.-Turkish spat may become regular.

Biography of the author:  Dmitry Babich graduated from the Journalism Department of Moscow State University. From 1990-1996, he worked as a correspondent and senior parliament correspondent in Komsomolskaya Pravda, which was at the time a respected Russian daily newspaper with a circulation of up to 20 million.
