THE BOGUS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: A CASE OF SELECTIVE MEMORY<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Dear Editor,<\/p>\n

So this is what Journalism Department of Moscow State University produces:\u00a0 cockeyed look at world events to promote Russian interests at all costs.\u00a0 Here is a writer who will shamelessly complain about selective memory while “practicing” it.<\/p>\n

Did you read any lines about Azeris killed by Armenians above?<\/p>\n

Did you see any remorse about Khodjaly exterminations of Azeris (genocide?) by Armenian thugs using Russian advisors and weapons?<\/p>\n

Any word about the mass killings of Azeris in Karabagh by Armenian soldiers and paramilitaries under the command of Russian “advisors”\u00a0 using Russian tanks?<\/p>\n

Azeris were killed by Armenians toting Russian Mosins in 1893 and Russian Kalashnikovs in 1993?\u00a0 Both under the leadership of Russian “advisors”.\u00a0 What has changed in the hundred years, other than the model of the murder weapon?<\/p>\n

How about Armenian aggression in the seven rayons (provinces) surrounding Karabagh?\u00a0 Why is he silent about that?\u00a0 Isn’t that pure aggression and persecution?<\/p>\n

Most dramatic of all, perhaps, is the embarrassing silence of the Russian writer (and I use the term loosely) about the million or so Azeri refugees bracing, made homeless by the Armenian thugs toting Russian rifles, bracing for the 18th scorching summer after 17th freezing winter endured in leaky tents with little food or medicine.\u00a0 Is this how a Russian “journalist” sees events?\u00a0 Through the prism of selective memory?<\/p>\n

Just like those biased promoters of a bogus genocide who will\u2026<\/p>\n

a) remember Morgenthau’s falsified reports but not Bristol’s or Hubbard’s eyewitness reports;<\/p>\n

b) remember the long-discredited lie of 1.5 million dead Armenians, but not the Paris Peace Conference report dated 29 March 1919 declaring the number “…more than 200,000…” from which the current lie had originated;<\/p>\n

c)\u00a0 remember the Armenian dead (about 200,00 according to Paris Peace Conference of 1919) but not more than 524,000 Muslim, mostly Turkish dead;<\/p>\n

d) remember 24 April as the start of a fake genocide, but not the fact that 24 April was nothing more than the Ottoman Guantanamo when the known Armenian terrorists, insurgents, and spies and their suspected accomplices, were arrested for questioning, some of whom were later released;<\/p>\n

e) remember Turkish retaliations but not the Armenian revolts that started them, the biggest one of all being the Van rebellion of April 1915 which was the 9\/11 of the Ottoman Empire when Armenian killed more than 40,000 of thei Muslim neighbors and turned the city over to the invading Russian armies;<\/p>\n

f)\u00a0 remember Dink, but not Arikan, and 70 other the Armenians killed since 1973;<\/p>\n

g)\u00a0 remember Armenia Tereset (temporary resettlement of 1915) but not the facts that Armenians backstabbed their own country at a time when the motherland was under brutal foreign invasion in the West (Dardanelles by the French, and Anzacs, in the East (by Russians and Armenians), in the South (by the British in Sinai, Palestine, and Mesopotamia);<\/p>\n

h)\u00a0 remember Armenians who were resettled because of their treasonous activities and revolts but not the Crimean Tatars (Turks) who were deported in cattle wagons to Kazakhstan, or Meshketian Turks to Uzbekiastan, or Koreans or Ukranians or Chechens or tens of millions of others\u00a0 to\u00a0 distant deserts and barren plains of Central Asia and icy regios of Siberia, who met worse tragic end, if such a thing is possible, \u00a0at the hands of their brutal Russian handlers… and many more (too long to list here)<\/p>\n

i)\u00a0 remember to quote the Armenian commentator Andronik today but not the Armenian terrorist Andranik of last century who ruthlessly murdered many non-combatant, unarmed Muslims, mostly Turks, after torturing them in unspeakable manners;\u00a0 or those other Armenian terrorists like Dro, Aram, and thousands of others who were trained and supported by the Russians all along the way;<\/p>\n

Russians are the last people on earth to talk about selective memory or persecution of defenseless ethnic people.<\/p>\n
