“For us Armenians, 2009 was not a year, which we would remember with fondness, thanks to the unfortunate events, which have precipitated from the misguided actions of the government of Armenia. Namely, the process of normalization of relations with our western neighbour and historical adversary Turkey,” reads the article by Jean Ipdjian published in Gibrahayer e-magazine.
“The problem is the manner in which the government of Armenia has chosen or has been forced to conduct the process. We, Armenians, have major issues with Turkey. There is the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the matter of our historical lands which form part of eastern Turkey and where for years systematic work has been undertaken by Turkey to erase the historical fingerprints of its true owners, us Armenians, and last but not least, Artsakh. These issues are not confined to and nor are within the narrow concerns of the republic of Armenia and its population, but they concern and belong to the Armenian nation as a whole in its entirety, that is Armenia and the Diaspora. Therefore, they should have been the results of prior consultations with the nation through its organized representatives and establishments.
The Diasporans are not concerned about the policies of running the government, since it is the elected choice of the people of Armenia. However, by signing the Protocols the President of Armenia and his government have overstepped their moral authority and obligations towards the nation. Probably we and the government will be saved and taken out of an unfortunate position by Turkey itself, because of that nation s inexhaustible arrogance and extreme nationalism,” the article says.
