Russian Patriarch Visits Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan - April, 2010

When it comes to news reports about the Armenian Genocide, I want the reader to notice the subtle yet significant differences in the reporting styles of Russian and American news press. When an official Russian source mentions an event related to the Armenian Genocide, it is unmistakably presented as the Armenian Genocide. However, when an American news source such the CIA founded propaganda outlets known as Radio Liberty (who's Armenian department is run by Armenians) mentions anything about the Armenian Genocide, the term Genocide is either not used, placed in quotation marks and the other side of the story is presented as well. Every single mainstream American news agency does this and they have been doing this  for decades.

Guess what folks? It's by design.

There has been an anti-Armenian agenda in Washington for decades. Yet, come April, we still have fools in our community that drop their pants and bend-over with hope every single time. When questioned, those that bend-over every year are also the first ones that give pathetic excuses as to why the American press chooses to cast doubt on or simply ignore the Armenian Genocide. The excuse they give is more-or-less the following: "unfortunately America's national interests does not allow Washington to openly acknowledge the Armenian Genocide."


Well, imagine the public outcry, the severe indignation, the out-pouring of raw hate and anger by us Armenians had another important political player in the region that portrays itself as a friend of Armenians been working actively against our Hay Dat for their self-serving "national interest".

Imagine the fury if for example if Moscow was working against our recognition efforts.
It seems that Washington is the only political entity on earth today we Armenians voluntarily and persistently make excuses for. When it come to Washington, or Jews for that matter, we Armenians understand, we Armenian
s can wait, we Armenians are hopeful, we Armenians are grateful... We Armenians are pathetic!


Last I checked, Moscow was trying very hard to move closer to Turkey and encourage Ankara to move away from the Atlantic alliance... Last I checked, Moscow considered Turkey an important regional player it wanted to have good relations with... Last I checked, Turkey controlled one of Russia's most vital trade routes, the Dardanelles... Last I checked, Moscow provided Turkey with well over fifty percent of Turkey's energy needs... Last I checked, Turkey was one of Russia's biggest trading partners... Last I checked, tens-of-thousands of Russians were tanning themselves on Turkish beaches all along the Mediterranean Sea...
 

The point I'm trying to make is this: Moscow has just as many interests in Turkey as Washington and Tel Aviv. So, why isn't Moscow pathetically kissing Turkish asses like Washington and Tel Aviv do on a regular basis? And why doesn't Ankara threaten Moscow on a regular basis like it threatens Washington and Tel Aviv?

Logic would dictate that Moscow has every reason in the "political interests" book to ignore and/or cast doubt on the Armenian Genocide much like how Washington and Tel Aviv have been doing for decades. Since Russia has important interests and strategic ties with Ankara, why is it that the Russian Duma continues to recognize the Armenian Genocide? Why is it that Russia's official press continues to treat the Armenian Genocide as a historical fact? Why is it that Putin, Medvedev, Lavrov, Ivanov... and now the Russian Patriarch have visited the Armenian Genocide memorial?

The reality of the matter is Russians don't really have to do us Armenians any favors simply because Armenia exists today as a result of Russian presence in the Caucasus. But by not doing us Armenians any favors Moscow can actually have a freer hand in encouraging Ankara to move closer to
it; and through it all Armenia would still not have the option of breaking away from Moscow.


So, taking all these political nuances into consideration, why does Moscow continue towing the Armenian line when it comes to a topic that has no real political value for it, despite clear advantages for it if it stops doing so? 

Is it perhaps because the Russian Federation sees Armenia as a natural partner, a natural ally that needs to be nurtured and protected, unlike Washingtonian officials that see a dollar value on everything on earth and would even sell their mothers to the highest bidder?

Of course none of this applies to Washington's relationship with Israel which is a symbiotic relationship, for the two cannot live without each other. I think our many Russophobic "nationalists" seriously need to think about this one.

Nevertheless, can any one of you imagine the orgasmic euphoria Armenians in America would have felt had a high ranking official from Washington... wait, strike that. Can any one of you imagine the orgasmic euphoria Armenians in America would have felt had virtually 'anybody' from the state of Maryland visited Tsitsernakaberd?

To think of all our limited resources and efforts being wasted by our idiots in America in an utterly corrupt place like Washington is sicking. As far as I'm concerned, it is immensely more important for the Russian Federation to continue recognizing the Armenian Genocide than it is for Washington. Instead of wasting time writing letters to American politicians and begging them for favors, American-Armenians would do better if they wrote letters of thanks and appreciation to the Russian Duma.

CrossTalk on Genocide: Turkey's Burden: http://www.youtube.com/user/RussiaToday#p/u/21/5xfrb_sCzDs


The head of the Russian Orthodox Church paid tribute on Wednesday to the victims of Armenian genocide, laying flowers to a memorial in the South Caucasus country's capital Yerevan.Turkey has always refused to recognize the killings of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire in 1915 as an act of genocide. A number of countries have recognized the killings in Armenia as the first genocide of the 20th century. Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia began a three-day visit to Armenia on Tuesday to meet the country's leadership and lay the foundation of a new Russian church. Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II, who leads the Armenian Apostolic Church, also laid flowers to the Tsitsernakaberd memorial dedicated to the victims of the genocide. Armenian priests then held a short service for the dead. Kirill called on the Russian community in Yerevan to study Armenian and to actively integrate into society. "I am calling on you to be active members of Armenian society, to make your contribution to its culture, to study the language so that nothing prevents you from actively participating in the country's public life," the Russian Church leader told hundreds of Russians who gathered in Yerevan's main Russian Orthodox church. The patriarch said Christian roots are "the firmest basis for good relations" between Armenia and Russia and thanked Garegin II for promoting good relations with the Russian people. He also thanked Armenia for its respectful attitude toward the Russian language. More than 90% of Armenians belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is in dialogue but not in communion with most Eastern Orthodox Churches, including Russian, due to certain dogmatic differences.

Russian Patriarch Given Armenian Church's Highest Honor


Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Welcomed in Headquarters of the Armenian Church


Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia received on Wednesday the highest award of the Armenian Apostolic Church - the Order of St. Gregory the Illuminator. St. Gregory, also known as Gregory the Enlightener, is credited with having converted Armenia to Christianity over 1,700 years ago. The award was given to the head of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Yerevan cathedral dedicated to the saint. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan attended the ceremony. Catholicos of All Armenians Garegin II, who heads the Armenian Church, said the award was a token of fraternal love and respect from Armenians worldwide. More than 90% of Armenians belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church, which is in dialogue but not in communion with most Eastern Orthodox Churches, including Russian, due to certain dogmatic differences. Patriarch Kirill began a three-day visit to Armenia on Tuesday to meet the country's leadership and lay the foundation of a new Russian church.

Dear reader,

New blog commentaries will henceforth be posted on an irregular basis. The comment board however will continue to be moderated on a regular basis. You are therefore welcome to post your comments and ideas.

I have come to see the Russian nation as the last front on earth against the scourges of Westernization, Americanization, Globalism, Zionism, Islamic extremism and pan-Turkism. I have also come to see Russia as the last hope humanity has for the preservation of classical western/European civilization, ethnic cultures, Apostolic Christianity and the concept of traditional nation-state. Needless to say, an alliance with Russia is Armenia's only hope for survival in a dangerous place like the south Caucasus. These sobering realizations compelled me to create this blog in 2010. This blog quickly became one of the very few voices in the vastness of Cyberia that dared to preach about the dangers of Globalism and the Anglo-American-Jewish alliance, and the only voice emphasizing the crucial importance of Armenia's close ties to the Russian nation. Today, no man and no political party is capable of driving a wedge between Armenia and Russia. Anglo-American-Jewish and Turkish agenda in Armenia will not succeed. I feel satisfied knowing that at least on a subatomic level I have had a hand in this outcome.

To limit clutter in the comments section, I kindly ask all participants of this blog to please keep comments coherent and strictly relevant to the featured topic of discussion. Moreover, please realize that when there are several "anonymous" visitors posting comments simultaneously, it becomes very confusing (not to mention annoying) trying to figure out who is who and who said what. Therefore, if you are here to engage in conversation, make an observation, express an idea or simply insult me, I ask you to at least use a moniker to identify yourself. Moreover, please appreciate the fact that I have put an enormous amount of information into this blog. In my opinion, most of my blog commentaries and articles, some going back ten-plus years, are in varying degrees relevant to this day and will remain so for a long time to come. Commentaries and articles found in this blog can therefore be revisited by longtime readers and new comers alike. I therefore ask the reader to treat this blog as a historical record and a depository of important information relating to Eurasian geopolitics, Russian-Armenian relations and humanity's historic fight against the evils of Globalism and Westernization.

Thank you as always for reading.
