@TheScarmind If an Armenian did this sort of thing in Turkey, he would get about 20 years in prison. Maybe we should have a law against insulting Armenianness like the Turks do.
@blackintheempir Not exactly powerful, but, same with Syria and Bashar Al Assad. Turned him into an enemy for not letting the west steal their resources, calling him a dictator even after a century of propping up friendly brutal dictators.
@vitabonaest@DueinMed@irgarner Ok, even so, Alaska was Russia in the past. I am DEFINITELY not saying they should get it back, but I don’t think you can point to that and say, “oh NOW Russia wants to take over Alaska!” I have seen no indication of that beside a sign in Krasnoyarsk.
@inanosum But I do disagree that we as Armenians don’t have a duty to Armenia. No matter where your ancestors are from in the homeland, Armenia is the only bit of that homeland we have. We just need to adjust the expectation of the feeling we will have once we see it for the first time.
@inanosum If you go to Armenia with the expectation that everyone will be super warm and welcoming just because you are an Armenian visiting the homeland you will be sorely disappointed. If you focus on the history and culture without that expectation you will love it.
@KevorkAlmassian@CamilleOtrakji Typical of the west. Dole out sympathy for those that look just like you but destroy people whose president refuses to let you steal his country’s resources.
@ArmoKev @Armbreakingnews Zelenskyy was there too. Selling Chemical weapons to Aliev and blatantly supporting Azerbaijan and their “territorial integrity.”
@ArmeniusShirak Seems to be the same old story—buildup of arms, aggressive rhetoric from Aliev, accusations of the Armenian side shooting first, etc. The question is will it happen while Russian peacekeepers are there or in 2025?
