Sassounian: What Should Armenians Learn from Prime Minister Erdogan?

Agreed . Action speaks louder than words .

Just like Mr. Sassounian stated earlier, the Armenian people need to start roaring. Our people have been victims of human rights abuse and injustice for too long! In addition to April 24th, we need to be roaring the other 364 days of the year as well. Aren’t you all fed up with how so many of the issues relating to the Armenian people are persistently being ignored by these western power countries? The latest example, of course, are the numerous armed attacks combined with looting, which have been taking place within Syria’s Armenian community. These western power countries, who happen to be providing military and financial support to those particular Islamic terrorists engaged in war with the Syrian leadership, have totally ignored the brutal acts of violence being directed at the Armenians of Syria. By now, it’s quite clear that one of the main objectives for these Islamic terrorists is to erase the Christian communities of Syria. As a result, Syria’s Armenians have suffered enormously. Up to about five years ago, with a population of over 150 thousand, Syria’s Armenians were the tightest and most thriving Armenian community in the Middle East. Five years later, the Armenian population of Syria has been reduced to less than 60 thousand, along with a large amount of damage to their churches, schools, and community centers. In addition, many of their homes have been robbed and taken over by the Islamic terrorists. As we all observed, the latest attack against Armenians was perpetrated by terrorists coming from the Turkish side of the border, who happened to also receive support from the Turkish military. This obviously means that the Turkish leadership is assisting these Arab Muslim Terrorists in committing attacks against Syria’s Armenians. And, what is the United States doing about all this? The answer as usual, is nothing. The United States, obviously, will never go against the wishes of the criminal Turkish nation. In addition, isn’t it rather astonishing that those very same Arab Muslim terrorists whom the United States declares to be its enemy, happen to also be the very same enemy that the United States provides military assistance to? Once again, exactly what sort of “War on Terror” is this supposed to be?

As concerned Armenians, both in the diaspora and in our Fatherland, we need to address the issue on how to find a way to provide protection to the Armenians in Syria. They need guns! They need to defend themselves! They need to create a well-armed, self-defense unit that will protect their community. It’s time for them to pull out some firepower and blast those Islamic terrorists with an all-out blizzard of bullets and grenades.

As you all know, April 24th will be arriving in less than a month. When it arrives, in addition to the usual roaring we do on that day, it’s also necessary that we roar about the injustices that Syria’s Armenians are being subjected to. And, we shouldn’t limit it to just that. We should continue roaring about all this after April 24th as well. We need to hold demonstrations in the city squares and colleges of the heavily populated Armenian cities throughout the diaspora, as well as in front of those particular embassies and consulates which Mr. Sassounian pointed out in the above article. Hey, it’s time for the world to hear the Armenian people roar! If there was ever a better time for the Armenian people to firmly unite and fight for the Armenian Cause, the time is right now! Let’s do it!

I would like even Russia to involve condemning turkey for ther help to the extremist attacking on kessab( the Armenian town )
