Brave Armenians teach the cowardly West a lesson in courage

To a West where no one seems to want to fight anymore or care anymore about their own traditions, where they spit on their own history, topple their statues and erase their own culture, where the land no longer sends any echo, the Armenians, small, scattered around the world, forgotten and barricaded, now at war for Nagorno against the Islamic Ummah led by Turkey, show us a path in which we do not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed.

Half of Nagorno's population, 75,000 people, has been displaced due to Turkish-backed Azerbaijan attacks. We must hope they resist. I have just read a beautiful letter that the French actor Simon Abkarian addressed to Erdogan from the pages of Le Figaro:

“We Armenians fight for the future of our children, remembering our dead who refuse to die a second time. Despite your weapons, despite your religious rumors, despite your jihadists at $2,000 a month, you won't win. Take your dead and go, the land of the Armenians is the land of knowledge, the land of honey and roses. You wouldn't know what to do with it. Here women are queens of joy. And the girls have no certificate to present to any man. Here music and wine are indispensable remedies. Here we can believe or not believe. Because our country is not a country, it is a crossroads. And do you know who crosses it? All of humanity. If you think of slaughtering us like lambs, know that we grew up under the belly of lionesses”.

.....

Europe is helpless in the face of Turkish expansionism in Libya, in Syria, against Greece, against migrants and now against Armenia. We are ruled by servants who would be willing to become Gray Wolves for a plate of Turkish peanuts.

Armenia, like Israel, is a minority nation, an island of different in a sea of Shiite and Sunni Muslims. There are many such, some tiny, insignificant and helpless, like the Yazidis, others major military or economic power houses, such as India and Israel, or nascent states, such as Greater Kurdistan (mixed denominations of Islam, with a large scoop of Suffis). But all constantly vulnerable to attack. We islands should move closer together, for our mutual aid and protection, to form an Eastern Minorities Alliance (EMA).

Karabakh is Armenia!

Kosovo is Serbia!

Republika Srpska is Serbia!

Crna Gora (Montenegro) is Serbia!!!!

Going to have to go with “The US is busy and unavailable to help,” on this one.

[Kriggerel]

Hopefully Israel doesn’t sell Azerbaijan any more weapons.

[discostu]

Yeah let’s get involved in another endless Middle East war. That’s a great plan.

At some point the Middle East needs to sort itself out.

[wgmalabama]

I agree but for Armenia, I would make sure weapons and supplies flow. The world let 1.3 million Armenians die at the hands of the Turks and we owe them support now for past indifference.

Yep 22 trillion is debt will do that to you. Besides our guys need a break from policing the world. See if the Avengers are available.

powerful....

[donozark]

Russia as well. Hard to figure why both Israel/Russia would sell to Azerbaijan. Oh wait! $$$!

[cherry]

the ME islamists will crush all of ME plus Europe....we can sit by..

[DesertRhino]

How does United States owe Armenia for what Turkey did to them 100 years ago? It seems like everybody on earth thinks America owes them free supplies and military assistance.

Cowardly “West”?

What kind of bs propaganda is this? Historically speaking, the Armenians would be much better off if they had learned to run a century ago.

[sasportas]

All this and not a word about Armenia’s long Christian heritage. It was the first Christian nation. Maybe the writer wants to avoid the recent conflict framed in a Christian Armenia vs Islamic Turkey context.

[Vermont Lt]

I’d sell them some guns. Why not?

They can come pick them up. We need to stay far away from that mess.

[Spktyr]

There are plenty of other countries that will cheerfully supply weapons and other fungibles to Armenia. For that matter, you *are* aware that Russia is cheerfully supporting Armenia against Turkey-backed Azerbaijan, right?

[Spktyr]

Maybe they should try calling for the European Union to exercise their soft power to help them...

[broken_clock]

I see where Kim Kardashian is raising a million for Armenia. Where is fat mouth Cher (Cheryl Sarkisian) in all this?

[Spktyr]

Russia is already sending them guns, the Armenians don’t need us to sell them more.

[proust]

Yeah, shaming is not going to get me to take action.

[discostu]

Or the rest of the Mid East can grow the hell up and defend themselves.
