A hole in a portrait or
from the Great Lie to "Great Armenia"
"Let the lies spread for 24 hours
and it will take 100 years to refute it"
Eastern proverb
An old
photograph of my grandfather hanging on the wall is pierced in the chest area,
this is a trace left by an Armenian saber. How much hatred the murderer who
burst into the house had, who had never seen my grandfather or his family in
his life, in order to take out the evil in the portrait - a silent witness to
that monstrous massacre in 1918, perpetrated by the Armenian diaspora in Baku.
Terrible
news came to Balakhani, the Armenians killed all the Muslims in the city and
are now heading to the villages. Everyone encountered, whether a woman or a
child, is subject to destruction. Resistance is useless, because the Armenians
are armed. At night, my grandfather's family, along with the rest of the
villagers, hurriedly left the house. There was nowhere to run especially, their
way of salvation was blocked by the northern desert coast of the Caspian Sea.
Well, the Armenians did not think of continuing the pursuit in that direction,
otherwise the mighty Khazri, a strong north wind from the sea, raking the
golden sand of the coastal strip, would still expose human bones. (I want to
note that in this case, the cry of the Armenian Nazis “Armenia from sea to sea”
was not translated into reality. The Armenians did not bother to cross even the
small Absheron Peninsula. Well, the Armenians have some kind of rock with these
seas! Maybe someone heard so that Armenian ships plow the seas? Phoenician -
yes, Greeks, Persians, Arabs, Turks ... but Armenians? True, you can remember
Noah's Ark, which, according to one of the legends, is supposedly located on
Mount Ararat, but Noah, it seems, is Armenian was not. In any case, history is
silent about the Armenian sailors. But the Armenian unfortunate cartographers
"Great Armenia" was washed by as many as three seas. With the seas,
the Armenians have a clear bust, but not only with the seas.) Returning a few
days later, the family found a devastated house and this portrait of his
grandfather, with a gaping hole in his chest, as an ominous reminder of the
terrible fate of family members, finding the Armenians in the house.
So what
exactly was my grandfather's fault before that Armenian who came with one sole
purpose - to kill. Armenians did not live in Balakhany at all, usually
Armenians settle compactly in cities, and it is difficult to assume that the
grandfather or any of the villagers had any common business with the Armenians.
What kind of guilt could the Armenians lay against the Balakhani, Baku
residents? In the end, what was the fault of the people of Azerbaijan before
the Armenians, because the bloody rebellion simultaneously occurred in all the
cities where the Armenian diaspora was present. Their only fault was that they
were Turks (in Russian, Turks). True, the Balakhans are not ethnic Turks, their
native language is Farsi, but the killers were not up to such subtleties. Their
task was to ethnically cleanse the territory of Azerbaijan under the supposed
"Great Armenia" and Baku with its oil fields, apparently, was to
become an important source of income. It was not enough for the Armenian bandits
led by the Bolshevik Shaumyan to kill tens of thousands of Azerbaijanis, at the
same time they began to destroy cultural heritage, showing unheard of vandalism
- they destroyed and burned the Teze Pir mosque and the beautiful Ismailiye
building, opening direct fire on buildings from artillery guns . (In contrast
to the vandalism of the Armenians, neither in 1918 nor in 1989 did the
Azerbaijanis allow themselves to destroy the Armenian church, which still
stands safely in the very center of Baku. It would be nice to open a museum of
the genocide of the Azerbaijani people in that church.) the Dashnak Nazis
managed to carry out in Turkey in 1914-1918, they tried to do it in Azerbaijan
in 1918, and if it were not for the fraternal help of Turkey, which, despite
the desperate situation on the fronts, hastily sent an army to save Baku,
otherwise rare in cruelty the extermination of the local population by the
Dashnaks would take on the scale of a catastrophe no less than the genocide of
European Jews. To the credit of the Turks, it should be noted that by defeating
the Dashnak armed detachments, they did not allow a mass retaliatory massacre
to occur, thereby preserving the Armenian diaspora in Azerbaijan.
The Nazi
ideology of "Dashnaktsutyun" arose long before the fascist one in
Germany, and the ethnic cleansing undertaken by the Dashnaks in Turkey and
Azerbaijan under the territory that was supposed to become "Great
Armenia" is a real genocide. In fact, this was the first genocide planned
by the Dashnaktsutyun ideologists in history, because it was impossible to
build an Armenian state either on the territory of Turkey, where Armenians did not
constitute a majority in any vilayet, or on the territory of Northern
Azerbaijan, where Armenians are in significant numbers. appeared only as a
result of the expansionist policy of Moscow, which also consisted in squeezing
out the local Turkic population from the regions bordering Turkey. In this
regard, the claims of the Dashnaks on Baku, otherwise the bloody rebellion of
1918 cannot be interpreted, generally testify to the rare impudence of the
Armenian Nazis from the Dashnaktsutyun, because even in accordance with the map
drawn, precisely drawn, by them, the borders of “Great Armenia” Baku are not
outlined, must be assumed by forgetfulness. Here, apparently, the Dashnaks are
guided by the presence of the Armenian diaspora, so that all places where there
is an Armenian diaspora, which is characterized by compact focal residence, are
potential territories of "Great Armenia". So it happened with the
Zangezur region, which in 1920 was transferred to Armenia by order of Moscow,
as a result of which Nakhichevan became an autonomous region, losing its territorial
connection with Northern Azerbaijan. So it happened with the Karabakh region in
1989 of Azerbaijan. It is enough for one Armenian to appear, as he begins to
acquire compatriots exponentially. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in
the fact that the resort towns of the North Caucasus and the Black Sea coast
are currently pockets with a compact Armenian population. In recent years,
there has been an intensive settlement of Kuban by Armenians. Usually, the
emergence of Armenians is inevitably accompanied by the emergence of mafia
structures, which, as a rule, seek social and political privileges. I won't be
surprised if it comes to a comical situation; formations will appear in the
Kuban - "Armenian" Cossacks! So you won’t envy the Kuban Cossacks,
especially if you remember the instructions of the famous French singer
Aznavour, an Armenian by birth, who changed his role as a singer to a
politician:
"Do you want to be a mafia? -
Form your mafia in another country. Don't do it in your country, don't do it
against your people."
(http://armtoday.info/default.asp?Lang=_Ru&NewsID=52566)
Aznavour
is deeply indignant that the local mafia has flourished in Armenia, which
already aggravates the catastrophic economic situation in the country, and
therefore, apparently knowing the mentality of his people (the tendency to
migrate), he strongly recommends that the Armenians, if it is impossible to do
without the mafia, otherwise his words cannot be interpreted, other countries
for mafia activities. That's it, no more, no less!
Armenians
are leaving Armenia today, and also, oddly enough, Karabakh annexed by them and
forming diasporas among other peoples, of course, not following the
recommendations of Aznavour, because this circumstance accompanies the entire
history of the Armenian people in accordance with its mentality. An
interesting, one might say incredible, historical fact: at the time of Russia's
conquest of Georgia, Armenians made up 60% of the population of its capital,
Tbilisi! And who knows, perhaps the Armenian Nazis from the Dashnaktsutyun have
already secretly introduced Tbilisi into Greater Armenia.
Involuntarily, but in the words of Aznavour, the quintessence of the
people's mentality is revealed, which contains the fate of the people, its past
and future. The dispersion of the Armenian people with the formation of
numerous diasporas scattered throughout the world is something that can be
traced in history. Paulo Coelho famously said:
"Fate
and history are written with one hand"
Each
nation, like an individual, creates its own destiny and history in full
accordance with its mentality. There are peoples, such as the Anglo-Saxons,
Scandinavians, who are prone to creative and rational work, they are
self-sufficient and do not need anyone, and their complete opposite is the
gypsies, who are not capable of any creative work at all, they have a different
way of existence , they do not need their own state, figuratively speaking,
they will not steal horses from themselves. If you hypothetically imagine that
the UN will allocate territory for the Roma to form a state, then literally the
next day you will not find them there. You will consider such conclusions to be
pure racism, but alas, this is what it is, no matter how sad it is. Come up
with a different definition, but the essence of this will not change. As in the
animal world there is a small class of parasites, so in human society there are
gypsies who cannot exist on their own, and there is no escape from this. There
is no unequivocal answer to the philosophical question why Nature needs this,
but there is a fact. The character of a people, like the character of an
individual, has hereditary roots, is transmitted genetically, which
distinguishes peoples from each other, determining their past, present and
future.
I will give
an example typical of the Armenian diaspora. After the conquest of Turkistan,
the Russians, knowing well the mentality of the Armenian people, their tendency
to migrate and surprisingly adapt to new conditions, encouraged the
resettlement of Armenians to new colonial territories in order to dilute the
hostile Turkic population with Christians. As well as in the Caucasus, the
Russians saw in the Armenians the backbone of their power in Turkistan. In a short
period of time, a powerful Armenian diaspora was formed in the Fergana and
Zarafshan valleys, as the richest ones. The Armenians drove out the merchants
of the Turks; the owners of shops, many shops, restaurants, tailoring
workshops, buyers and dealers, the keepers of the beer houses and tenement
houses that appeared were Armenians. Naturally, a considerable number of
Armenians were represented by government officials and military personnel. An
Armenian quarter was formed in Kokand, in which an Armenian Gregorian church
and Armenian parish schools were opened, in a word, an exact copy of
Armenikand, a large Armenian district in Baku. It is important to note here
that there was not even a hint of any hostile confrontation between the
Armenians and the local Turkic population. However, everything changes
radically at the first destabilization of the existing socio-political
relations.
After the
revolution, the national government of Turkestan is created in Kokandna, in
parallel, the Bolsheviks in Tashkent create their own government without a
single representative of the indigenous nationality, which turns to Kokand with
an ultimatum to recognize Soviet power. It was then that the insidiousness of
the Armenian diaspora manifested itself, Dashnak military formations suddenly
appeared, which staged a particularly brutal massacre in Kokand, massacring the
entire population within three days. The city was completely destroyed and
burned. It must be said that such an action was the cause of the emergence of
Basmachism, with which the Russians had to fight right up to the 30s. An
interesting fact is that the massacres in Baku and Kokand completely coincide
in time - March 1918. One conclusion follows from this: where there is an
Armenian diaspora, the extremely nationalist ideology of the Dashnaktsutyun
party is also secretly present, because otherwise such sudden deceit on the
part of the Armenian diaspora cannot be explained. Moreover, the Kokand
massacre is an eloquent illustration of the bestial bloodthirstiness of the
Dashnaks and the danger fraught with the Armenian diaspora. Armenian
historians, it seems, did not include Central Asia in the composition of “Great
Armenia” and there is only one explanation here - bloodlust and terror as
indicators of its activities accompanying and integral to the “Dashnaktsutyun”.
The desire
and readiness for migration with the creation of numerous diasporas in other
countries is characteristic of the Armenian people. Why are Armenians leaving
Armenia? Why did the Armenians after the Baku events rush to Russia, America,
only rare units ended up in the “historical” Motherland, and even those
subsequently left it, never to return. The fact is indisputable. It would seem
that there is a free independent country Armenia, live, build, develop.
However, the picture is completely opposite. There is no one to live in the
captured Karabakh! New Armenian schools are opening in the Krasnodar Territory
in the Kuban, while they are emptying in Armenia itself. There is only one
answer - it's all about mentality and there is no other explanation. Even if we
hypothetically assume that the Dashnaks after ethnic cleansing (by the way, the
Kurds claim exactly the same territory) will create a “Great Armenia”, then I
have serious doubts that the Armenians will leave prosperous countries for the sake
of the “Motherland”. And what will they do there? To sew each other's boots?
With the
settlement of Greater Armenia, taking into account the mentality of the
Armenian people, the Nazis from the Dashnaktsutyun have an insurmountable
problem and a situation similar to the one that happened in Israel may well
arise. As you know, the State of Israel was created by European Jews -
Ashkenazi, mostly from Eastern European countries, but most Ashkenazim did not
bother to leave their settled life in Europe and America for the sake of the
Promised Land. The young country clearly did not have enough people, and in
order to solve a vital problem, it was decided to open Israel to all peoples
who profess Judaism. Jews from North Africa and Asia came to Israel, Moroccans,
Ethiopians, Kurds, Indians and others who ethnically have nothing to do with
Ashkenazim. I worked with an ethnic Irish Israeli who converted to Judaism. In
short, just as many nations profess Christianity, for example, there are
Christian Arabs, the same picture is similar with the Jews. It is known from
history that for a short time part of the Khazars converted to Judaism, but
from this they did not become ethnically Jews. Thus, by allowing all professing
Judaism to settle in Israel, the problem was partially solved. However, unlike
other religions, the Armenian Gregorian Church is isolated and unites only
Armenians on a national basis. This is somewhat reminiscent of the fact that of
all the republics of the USSR, Armenia became more and more mono-ethnic, while
in others the picture was exactly the opposite. This circumstance will
certainly create a big problem with the settlement of the territory of the
hypothetical “Great Armenia”. No nation, except for the Armenians, has such an
excessive, literally painful, degree of self-praise in order to prove national
superiority, which inevitably causes disgust, and Vasily Grosman was right in
his observations:
“With insidious ease, the nationalism
of the people loses its noble foundation, it does not become formidable, it
becomes pitiful, does not provoke, but humiliates. So trying to prove some kind
of inferiority, a person discovers his own. Some of my interlocutors in all
areas of human creativity, first of all, emphasized the Armenian national
priority in architecture, science, and poetry. They emphasized the superiority
of the architectural merits of the temple in Garni over the primitive
architecture of the Acropolis that seemed to them: speaking of the poet
Tumanyan, they persistently convinced me that the genius of Tumanyan was higher
than the genius of Pushkin. The point, of course, is not that the architecture
of Garni is not more perfect than the architecture of the Acropolis, is
Tumanyan more brilliant than Pushkin, the essence, and the essence of course is
sad, is that poetry, and architecture, and science, and history in itself,
according to their essence in the conversations of some of my interlocutors
cease to mean. They only mean to reveal the superiority of the Armenian
national character over the national character of other peoples. It is not
poetry that is important, but it is only important to prove that the Armenian
national poet is higher than, say, a Russian or French poet. My interlocutors,
without noticing it themselves, impoverished their souls and hearts by ceasing
to rejoice in poetry, the perfection of architecture, the greatness of science,
and saw in poetry and science only a means to assert their national
superiority. This desire can be so fanatical, narrow, that for a moment it
seems like a manifestation of madness. ("Banner", n.11, 1988)
It is
difficult to suspect Grosman of anti-Armenian sentiments, but it seems to me
that many will agree with his opinion. Perhaps such an attitude towards
foreigners and their culture is also the reason for the exclusive
mono-ethnicity of Armenia. Once at school, the physical education teacher,
lining us up in a line, commanded “two steps forward” and drew our attention to
the fact that the lowest in the ranks jumped out the farthest; so to speak,
short stature syndrome. Hence the origin of “Great Armenia” is clear. There
were great empires in those parts, Assyria, the Persian Empire, the empire of
Alexander the Great, the Roman, Byzantine, Arab Caliphate, Ottoman, so why not
be “Great Armenia”, and why be trifles, right from sea to sea. Next in line,
presumably, will be the “Great Kurdistan”, which definitely aims for the same
territory, because it was not without reason that the Ararat Kurdish Republic
was proclaimed in 1927 in the Ararat mountains of the Armenian Highlands. This
is probably why, during the First World War, the Dashnaks slaughtered the Kurds
along with the Turks in order to prevent the Kurds from claiming this
territory.
However, back to reality, the Dashnaks did not create a chimerical
“Great Armenia”, but shed enough lies and blood. By provoking the Armenian
people to a pre-planned massacre of the indigenous Turkic population in Turkey
and Azerbaijan, the Dashnaks provoked a response of spontaneous popular anger,
which turned out to be no less a tragedy for the Armenian people. The
atrocities perpetrated by the Dashnaks against the civilian population during
the cleansing of the territory under the Armenian state, which they planned to
create on the line of fire between the two empires, were the cause of a
response spontaneous wave of popular revenge, namely spontaneous, and not
organized by the state, as the Dashnaks are trying to present. The only thing
that the Ottoman government did was to evict the rebellious Armenian population
from the frontline places in order to secure the rear of the fighting army. The
path of the evicted Armenians lay in the area where the population had
previously fled from the brutal pogroms carried out by the Dashnaks, and
something happened that could not but happen.
The
blame for the extermination of hundreds of thousands of Turks, Kurds and
Armenians lies entirely with the Nazi party "Dashnaktsutyun" and no
one else. It was the Dashnaktsutyun ideologists who organized the genocide of
the Muslim population of Turkey and Azerbaijan and, in order to deflect
accusations from themselves, taking advantage of the period of the collapse of
the Ottoman Empire, the departure of the former government and the deposition of
the Sultan, the period when the Turkish people, led by Mustafa Kamal (Ataturk),
had to to defend their homeland, they, hastily preparing and actively
distributing accusatory documents in the form of Andonyan’s book “TALAAT
PASHA’S TELEGRAMS”, which were
recognized as a gross fake, tried to accuse the country’s leaders of allegedly
pre-planned extermination of Armenians.
An
interesting fact: in 1920, the British occupation authorities in Istanbul, on
an Armenian tip, arrested 144 people as the main culprits in the Armenian
genocide. A year later, a trial took place in Malta, which did not find a
single document proving the guilt of the arrested, and this despite the fact
that the judges already had Andonyan's book on hand, which was recognized as a
complete fake. The prosecutor's office announced the termination of the
proceedings on the basis that not a single document was presented, evidence of
the guilt of the prisoners, and this at a time when all the archives of the
empire were in the hands of the British and all the witnesses of the so-called
genocide were alive.
Having
suffered a complete failure at the beginning of the 20th century, the guardians
of “Great Armenia” did not leave their extravagant idea and, continuing to
exploit the lie about the genocide, without any evidence, they are trying,
calling for help from the world community, to put not individuals, but all
Turkish people. For all the time of false propaganda, not a single accusatory
document was found testifying to the genocide of the Armenian people organized
by the government of the Ottoman Empire. It is difficult to assume that every
one of the government and army orders, circulars, dispatches were intentionally
and timely destroyed. With the general mess that accompanied the crumbling
empire, at least a piece of some incriminating note remained, but ...
The lie
accompanies the entire propaganda campaign launched by the Armenian Nazis from
Andonyan's book to the latest forgery of Ara Sarafyan, in which there is also
not a single original pointing to the Armenian genocide, and where does it come
from 100 years later, except perhaps a new fake was made, of which there were
plenty . As blasphemous as it sounds, but after listening to them, one might
think that the Armenians have found a way to reproduce in the next world, not
otherwise, because the number of victims of the so-called genocide is growing
exponentially, reaching a number of 1.5 million out of the initially assumed
three hundred thousand , in general, as usual with the living. They want Turkic
blood to wash away their bloody crimes in the hope that the world community
will be deceived and fall for the lies about the genocide. It seems that the
time has come to understand the reality of what is happening, the reality of
which, if indulged and misjudged, can again shed a lot of blood. I have no
doubt that if a trial takes place, at which, along with the charter of the
Dashnaktsutyun party, which openly calls for terror, the available archival
materials on the bloody deeds of the Dashnaks on the eve and during the First
World War, as well as on the fact of terrorist acts committed by the Dashnaks,
will be considered around the world, against representatives of the Turkish
Republic, who have nothing to do with the Ottoman Empire, eyewitnesses of the
blatant massacre of the citizens of Khojaly in Azerbaijan and the portrait of
the grandfather pierced by the Dashnak saber as a dumb witness of the Baku
massacre back in 1918 were interrogated, then the Armenian dreamers of the
“Great Armenia”, any desire to mention the genocide will disappear.
