Arabs Will Say if We Send a Group

Even if we send a group consisting of 2 people to Iraq it will have
fatal consequences for Armenia and the Armenian nation. The idea will
be discussed at RA Parliament. Certainly, the political figures and
experts will say their word. But “such wise” ideas make the people
suffer. Let me explain.

“We have no moral right to be on Bush’s side, who is fighting an
unfair war in a foreign country.

We have no moral right to be on Bush’s side, who doesn’t recognize the
Armenian Genocide and considers Turkey of the times of the Armenian
Genocide a democratic country.

American Armenians support Armenia. We are grateful to them, but we
shouldn’t thank them for making unfair things against the Arabs. Iraq,
as well as the US is a friendly country for us.

Certainly, the Armenian aid to the coalition forces will be merely
symbolic, but it will be considered as betrayal in the Arab world,
Iran and Russia.

One should pay for betrayal. We will lose the friendship of the Arabs,
the Iranians and the Russians. We will let the Arab terrorist
penetrate to Armenia, our sons will be executed in Iraq.

The Arabs received the Armenians as brothers during the years of the
Armenian Genocide. But we are going to answer them by ingratitude. If
Armenia sends military or even civic persons to Iraq, it will become
anâ=80¦ anti-Armenian country.

The American Jews annihilate the Israel’s enemies with the help of the
US and Coalition Forces and grasp their wealth. Israel is Turkey’s and
Azerbaijan’s ally. The Jews hinder recognition of the Armenian
Genocide at the US Congress. Why on earth should we receive millions
of enemies for their sake?

We certainly want to have good relations with Israel and the Jews of
the world. But they don’t want that for Turkey’s sake. For themArmenia
is a coin that has lost its value. That is the tragic reality.

The Americans are in Iraq at present they will leave but tomorrow. We
will stay where we are. How shall we look into Arabs’ eyes? They will
say: “We shouldn ‘t have accepted you in 1915.”
