ANTI-ARMENIAN OR FOR THE PRESERVATION THE ARMENIANS?

Recently, the representatives of our country have started raising
the issue of the Armenian-Turkish border being close, considering it
a manifestation of an anti-Armenian policy, an incomprehensible and
scandalous fact.

While it seems to us that by doing this Turkey is conducting a policy
aimed at the preservation of the Armenians.

How come? Because, by demonstrating a fundamental consistency, the
Turks do not allow and even forbid us to forget who we are. We are
an enemy.

Even if all of us become ultimately stupid – something which many
people have already managed to do, and begin considering that the Turks
are not our enemy, the Turks themselves will never let us forget that
we are their enemy.

Because, we have the courage to declare that half of their country
is, as a matter of fact, our homeland. Because we label the deeds
of their ancestors as an atrocity and genocide, and what’s more,
demand that others call them likewise. And so on and so forth.

In this respect, it is noteworthy that the native authorities do
not set any precondition for having friendly relations with the
Turks. While the Turks, who are fundamental and consistent in his
attitude, do. They will be very pleased to take us into account and
establish friendly ties with us should we waive our vain demands and
cede Karabakh to Azerbaijan.

Thereafter, they will trade with us and organize tours to
Ararat. Otherwise, we will be the enemies of the Turks, i.e. Armenians.

It turns out that it is the Turks that make us preserve our national
identity and remain Armenians. If, instead of being so fundamental and
consistent, they were as insidious and cunning as we sometimes imagine
them to be, they would have lessened their firmness and opened the
border. The consequences in that case might have been unpredictable.

Judging by the kind of music and manner of speech preferred by a
definite number of citizens of the Republic of Armenia, seeing their
appearance and the form of their ears, their posture and behavior, it
is possible to approximately imagine how many thousands of Armenians
would rush to their … historical homeland. Of course, not for
climbing the Mount Ararat, but rather, for human purposes so to say.

And it’s quite possible that having disgraced ourselves on the
international arena or in the eyes of our nation, we will have to
state that the Armenians emigrate from an abnormal country like
Armenia and settle in a normal country like Turkey.

And thousands of Turks will visit Armenia, with lots of kind
wishes. They will set up some business and buy a house. And in 50
years’ time, that would put an end both to the Armenian statehood
and the Armenian issue.

Those Turks do not have brains at all. But they are fundamental in
their attitude. And it is not absolutely bad for the time being.

Having an open border is a good thing, dear compatriots. In our
society, we ourselves have erased and continue erasing so many
borders that is even good that the Turks still mark a borderline
between themselves and us.
