Armenia covets Javakheti region from Georgia,  eastern Anatolia from Turkey, and Karabakh with surroundings from Azerbaijan.  Compare that with the fact that America started a transatlantic war for much  less than that in 1991 when Saddam\u2019s Iraq invaded Kuwait, neither countries  being neighbors of America or having anything in common. Compare also that  America bombed Yugoslavia back to the stone age in 1998 when the Serbs had  resorted to brutal aggression, senseless mayhem, and hateful ethnic cleansing in  Bosnia and Kosovo. Armenia committed all of those heinous crimes and more in  Azerbaijan in 1992-1994 and got American\u2026uh\u2026. aid! If this is not double  standards, hypocrisy, bias, bigotry, and racial and\/or religious discrimination,  in full view, I don\u2019t know what is.<\/p>\n<p>7) Armenia still promotes a bogus  claim of genocide, ignoring the complicity of the Armenian revolutionaries in  propaganda, agitation, terror, raids, revolts, treason, territorial demands,  civil war, Turkish dead and suffering at the hands of Armenians, and more, in  that order, from 1877 Turkish-Russian war to 1920 Alexandretta (Gumru)  agreement. Keeping archives sealed will not save Armenians from facing their  past hate crimes before, during, and after the alleged genocide. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"font-family: arial; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 10pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; -x-system-font: none;\">\n<div style=\"background: #e4e4e4 none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;\"><strong>From:<\/strong> <a title=\"outbind:\/\/149-000000008F6760541467C141B8C16D09B578087B4453A800\/ arfccer@hairenik.com\">ARF Eastern Region USA Central Committee<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>To:<\/strong> <a title=\"outbind:\/\/149-000000008F6760541467C141B8C16D09B578087B4453A800\/ ergun@cox.net\">Ergun KIRLIKOVALI (TURKISH FORUM ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER)<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong>Sent:<\/strong> Wednesday, September 16, 2009 4:11 AM<\/div>\n<div><strong>Subject:<\/strong> Declaration on Armenia-Turkey Protocols<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<table style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<table style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"680\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div>\n<p align=\"center\"><a><img border=\"0\" alt=\"\" align=\"center\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\">\n<table style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\" width=\"680\" align=\"center\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a> <\/a><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; clear: both; font-size: 24px;\"><!-- _!fbztxtlnk!_  --><\/h1>\n<hr style=\"clear: both;\" \/><!-- ergun@cox.net --><a name=\"0\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\"><a title=\"outbind:\/\/149-000000008F6760541467C141B8C16D09B578087B4453A800\/\">Declaration on Armenia-Turkey Protocols <!-- _!fbztxtlnk!_  --><\/a><\/h2>\n<div>\n<p style=\"font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: 12px;\">\n<p>The Central Committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Eastern United  States denounces the protocols agreed to for the normalization of diplomatic  relations between Turkey and Armenia.<\/p>\n<div>It has been almost six months since the &#8220;road map&#8221; was announced and all  efforts aimed at placing the process on the correct path have failed.
