Here’s my own point of view: Well, I didn’t feel happy even not honored, as it’s obvious the personal gains for such games! And what was driving me crazy, the way they were talking about the issue, by putting the reality of the Genocide under suspect, thinking about respecting the liberty of expression, as if it’s a theory!!!!! Anyhow, we keep concentrating ALL of our power and time on such issues, related to the other countries, their acceptance, their laws regarding our painful past! Which may change nothing for our FUTURE… no one will give us any land, nor money! And the current pressure on Turkey is for their own interior and exterior politics, not for the sake of the Armenians… We must think more about our REAL future, about our country, which is becoming more miserable daily, few personalities who represent whole the government are crashing over the people! No more Armenians will be there within few more years!!! We have many pressures to do, so much to ask our own government, to build a real country, a strong one, and not a one for SALE!!! Apricots, pomegranates, duduk, dhol, kochari… the nostalgie by the vernisage is sooo sweet, but those tiny details won’t make our country REAL… few colorful songs and some souvenirs are just superficial, the cute mask of a hidden chaos… ALL WE NEED IS A REAL FUTURE… let’s first keep this small part of our land… the successful big projects start by the smallest real steps… The easiest way is to escape from our painful reality of today, and go beg on the others’ door, looking back in the past… It’s good to keep asking for JUSTICE, but it must not be our ONLY HOPE!
