Let us not hesitate to say “thank you”

April 25,2015 11:47

Some people are looking for the details in any event, which will enable to shout “Oh, we were disgraceful”, “I knew it”, “What else did you expect?”

This may be not only the political concern but simply due to a heavy character. The “Information opportunity” is not so efficient, even the material that has any relation to the events of April 24.

If you have a need for something to complain about, then you will find a reason. For example, yesterday, the Presidents at the Genocide Memorial did not say what we wanted to hear. Probably, people expected Putin and Oland to have said.

-“West is yours dear, go and take”.

Isn`t it clear that any country`s president talks out of his country’s national interests? The Russian president spoke of extreme nationalism, neo-Nazism and Russo phobia, remarked Russian-Ukrainian conflict and assigned all the sins listed to the enemy. To say that it’s completely false, of course, would be an exaggeration. To say that the Russian state has encouraged the extreme level of Russian nationalism would also mean to have sinned against the truth. To show that there is not a demonstration of Russo phobia would not be true as well. We can say that there is no Russo phobia in Armenia; although Russian embassy sometimes sends reports to Moscow and the Kremlin related Medias write articles based on it.

All these cannot overshadow the positive fact that Putin, Oland, many other senior and ordinary guests came to honor the memory of the victims and showed their support for our people. Gratitude, in general, is a good feeling, and no one should ever hesitate to say “thank you” to all the people who supported you in one way or another. Obviously, not all can be the Pope Francis: political and public figures are led by interests, not values. But that should not diminish our gratitude.

… Apparently it seems to Erdogan that to organize a military parade on April 24   is in the interests of Turkey. The main message was “we do not regret for killing”. I think this kind of message is not appropriate for the 21st century.
