Campaigning for emptiness

Judging from their actions, the Armenian followers of David Philips,
the godfather of the Turkish-Armenian Reconciliation Commission
(TARC), have decided to use the occasion of the Armenian Genocide’s
90th anniversary to promote their idol’s ideas.

This time, however, the main theme was not the glorification of the
notorious TARC, but the “presentation” of the American opportunist’s
book released recently. The book, in turn, is more an excuse for the
failed project rather than a description of the “mediators'”
activities.

Philips, who by the way, had promised some officials of the US State
Department that he would succeed in “reconciliation,” today is seeking
who to blame in Armenia in the person of the Armenian leadership and
especially in the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF).

The author — as well as his promoters from the certain Armenian
circles — cannot/do not want to realize that such reconciliation
commissions will fail no matter what even without any “outside”
interference or “obstacles,” simply because the Turkish side will not
accept any form of the Armenian Genocide recognition, without which it
makes no sense to speak of reconciliation.

And this is true not only in case of this commission but also in cases
of all other groups to be formed under instructions and with a goal to
carry out instructions. It would be great if everybody could
comprehend this, including those who genuinely support the idea of
establishing normal relations, and the Turks.

And if some of us do not realize this, and are looking for an occasion
to voice their political principles, then they have a problem with
their brains, souls and hearts being empty.
