ԽՐԻՄԵԱՆ ՀԱՅՐԻԿ aka ՀԱՅՈՑ ՀԱՅՐԻԿ And the PAPER LADLE HOW MANY TIMES MUST HISTRORY REPEAT UNTIL WE LEARN? Remember that Fiasco known as Proctocols? Who, when and why he was dubbed as Hayrik/Daddy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aivazovsky_-_Catholicos_Khrimyan_Airik_near_Echmiadzin.jpg The old adage goes. DONT SEND A BOY TO DO A MANS JOB. Let us rephrase that. DON T SEND THE CLERGY TO DO A DIPLOMATS JOB Before we go to the Main article, let us view the following. Biography http://armenianhouse.org/khrimyan-hayrik/bio-am.html And what we have said, only partially. http://blognews.am/arm/news/20010/khrimyan-hayrik-mer-sherepy-txtic-er.html http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=22717&page=10&&do=findComment&comment=263372 http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=4903&page=1&&do=findComment&comment=38624 : The Khrmian Hairik Ladle (17) deftly alludes to a comment the then Katoghikos Khrmian (r.1883-1907) made after returning from the 1878 Berlin Conference following the defeat of Ottoman Turkey by Russia. During the conference the World Powers first gave, then led by Bismarck, took away independence of Armenia and other ethnic groups in Anatolia while Bulgaria and Hungary were allowed to form republics. "It's ironic," the Khrmian Hairik said "they gave us a big pot of porridge, and all the big groups took out their ladles and (made a country). But all I had was a ladle made from paper (the original agreement by the world powers giving independence to Armenia). How could I take my portion with a paper ladle?" The memorial is of a large eagle guarding a ladle made from stone. Pure spring water gushes from the ladle, a symbol of life to all who will partake. Or maybe we would rather wait for the Turk, the Kurd, the Jew or any other damn gentile do it for us!! Do we have an ladle made of iron and steel? Why not? Khrimian was a Russophobe and an unbashed Anglophile, even when the English allied with the ottomans just to keep the Russians away, when the sultan promised them Cyprus in exchange to expel the Russians out of the Armenian provinces. Those who can see and read the excellent essay by ՀԱՄՕ ՊԵՏՐՈՍԵԱՆ in Hairenik The article is prompted by the 135th anniversary of the failed fiasco at Berlin Congress. http://www.hairenikweekly.com/archives/16507 I will quote some of the relevant passages. Khrimian was a reluctant delegate to the Berlin Congrsss He preferred that professional diplomats, the Likes of Boghos Nubar present us, He was not even let in the door. Hence his lamenting contrition , the sermon,--The PAPER LADLE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GMYSyrS7AQ Words- N Salakhian . Tune-H Janikian Հայրիկ, Հայրիկ, քո Հայրենիք, Վասպուրական մեր Աշխարհ, Վարդի փոխան քեզ փուշ բերաւ, Ցաւերդ դառան բիւր հազար: Մայիսն եկաւ սոխակներով, Վարդի թփիկ որոնեց, Փոխան թփի փշեր գտավ, Լալահառաչ ձայն հանեց: Հայրիկն ասաց. Իմ հայրեբեաց փուշն անուշ է, քան զվարդ, Ես այն փշոց մէջը դարձեալ Պիտ որոնեմ Սիրուն Վարդ:
