GENERATIONS WON’T FORGIVE US
- If We Don’t Learn A Lesson From March 1
Interview with the director of the Genocide Museum Hayk Demoyan
“March 1 was, mildly speaking, a regrettable event for every Armenian, a psychological, moral blow, the consequence of which is simply irretrievable. It is impossible to imagine that we could have ever afforded similar act towards ourselves, our statehood.
I don’t want to take the role of a judge and to say who is right, who is wrong. But the thing that happened is really a matter of serious concern. Our people have faced genocide and today we have the opportunity to build our statehood, it is impossible to imagine that the representatives of a nation that has faced genocide can struggle against one another.
So we must learn a lesson from March 1 and draw right conclusions. Should we not give right assessment to what happened, we will leave a very bad heritage for the coming generation.
Before doing something, we must give a question to ourselves: “Do we treat properly those who were martyred or who survived dreaming of an independent Armenia?”
The thing that happened on March 1 in the center of the capital city was an unforgivable “luxury” and meanwhile a contemptuous attitude towards the victims of the Genocide and those who survived. To have statehood is a great grace for the nation that has faced genocide, it is a chance that we mustn’t lose. The generations won’t forgive us. Consequently we must record once and for all that violence must be excluded from the agenda of our political culture.
Using force will ruin us. It will give ground to suspicion abroad: “Why do Armenian’s insist on the recognition of the Genocide, if they themselves solve their issues by force.’
“Will the traditional Diaspora, lobbyist organizations, which still make efforts towards the international recognition of the Genocide face difficulties in this issue. Especially because the “lobby belonging to Armenian Pan National Movement” acts against their own state, the ruling power and the church, moreover they hold demonstrations, in the United States and the European capitals with the slogan “Robert, Serge, Talyat?”
“Definitely! Thus our direct enemies will be pleasantly surprised, we give them good reasons to say: “How can the Armenians speak about the Genocide when they kill one another for political reasons?”
As regards the demonstrations hold in the foreign countries, those citizens of Armenia who live overseas, or those who are citizens of other countries but consider themselves Armenians, must understand that each of us must be helpful to this statehood, rather than teaching something.”

This should be the SPIRIT of all armenians,diaspora/penigs hayastantsis/karapaghtsis/and all the others.Who has the wright to devide our nation into those subdivisions,in order to built a democratic and free armenia.My hope is that this new goverment,will be wise and mature enough to treat the situation just... in all aspects.Providing peace to evry one.
All actively involved political parties made and will make mistakes... in the hopes to defend the interest of the nation.They sometimes fail to see their mistakes, because they are in the boiling pot.this is democracy it's not the end of the world.It's important to care about each other,for the sake of the unity of our country.

Mihran,
I'm sure you too would agree that our nation is a sectarian nation. Neither LTP, nor RK, nor SS divided our people. The dislike between karabaghtsi's and hayastantsi's goes back to during Soviet times. Karabaghts's were mistreated at local colleges during the 1970's. This so called tribalism is even evident today. All LTP did was expose this tribalism and use it to his advantage...a very useful political tool that is used all over the world. Now accepting that Armenians are sectarian people, was LTP actions moral or right? Ofcourse not, unless one is to presume a utilitarian point that the future greater good would overcome his actions.- Rafael wrote:

LTP, RK, SS, and Taylat, because all three (LTP, RK, SS) contributed to the white genocide that we experienced in the 1990's - MIHRAN wrote:

I never tought that gharapaghtsies wre treated differently in armenia during the soviet rule.I believe that armenians have been dispursed since the invasions that started around 11th century AC.prior to that wars between the romans and the persians extreemly weakend the foundations of a once powerfull armenian kingdoms under different dynasties,your point of view probably is true at arround 12th century BC.

Very sadly, Armenians are a traitor nation. Traitor by nature. Let's try to understand this pure fact. God has made us like this. A ruthless nation, with no heart toward each other. But a devoted yes-man for aliens.We are real stupid, ass-hole people. History has experienced this. If we were a normal nation, we would appreciate having a state after many centuris. So please let's not to say turkey is our enemy. We Armenians are our real satanic enemy.

Gabriel.
Other nations also have the same satanism,the difference is armenians were overwhelmed by wars between persian/roman/great invasions from centrtal asia.and the destruction of our statehood.
Once the society disintegrates,it provides the opportunity to the agressor to devide in order to dominate,resulting in to hate/jealousy on and on.
The same happened during the empire of Dikran the great,and the ottomans ,we are not over yet with the ottoman's situation.however to some extent your comments have some truth.
