Lithuania Going To Export Democracy To Armenia

[MosJan]

European Neighborhood Subcommittee – a sub-unit of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Lithuanian Seimas – will engage in dissemination of democracy in EU neighbor states, Subcommittee head, Conservative Emanuelis Zingeris stated. In his words, the Subcommittee he is in charge of will try to ensure that “having successfully been released from the soviet yoke, Lithuania will become an example for those countries.” Zingeris emphasized that the Subcommittee that is going export democracy to Belarus, Ukraine and the countries of the South Caucasus – Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia – will coordinate its activities with respective structures of Poland. The Subcommittee will convene its first session in the autumn, Rosbalt reported.

How come I never saw this before?

 

This really made my day. "Export democracy" Did Bush tell them so?

[Bakersfieldian]

It's actually an excellent idea.

 

Who better to teach us how to persecute minorities than Lithuania and Latvia.

 

Those guys are the best!

they don't persecute minorities, they persecute their former persecutor, a little insight into history would help. There are Armenians living in those countries and they are not persecuted. Baltic states always had a lot of admiration and knowledge for Armenians and Armenia. With the same logic I can say that Armenians should stop hating everything Turkish.

It wouldn't be the same logic kakachik. Russians never genocided Luthuanians. And Russia is a western nation and Russians are pretty civilized as people. Perhaps Armenians would be just as hostile to Russia today if turks didn't exist. Who knows. But Luthuanians should consider themselves lucky they didn't have to deal with turks.

 

By the way, my father told me of a trip to Luthuania way back when. Anyway he said they would respond in a very hostile way when he'd try to talk to them. The only way he could address them was in Russian, but all of a sudden they got real friendly when they found out that he and his group were Armenian, and all of a sudden these Luthuanians spoke perfectly fluent Russian.

I met some Lithuanians in my life and I loved them. They are very knowledgeable, educated yet kind. They also loved me because I was Armenian. I think of them as to be similar to the elite and the very noble within Armenians. In the very past over 2-300,000 Armenians have been assimilated in Poland as well. Today you wouldn't know it.

 

Skhara, although your statement above is quite true that "Lithuanians should consider themselves lucky they didn't have to deal with turks", however the communist Russians were not barbaric in its essence of course; but I hear they were very merciless and very easy to kill.

 

I feel thankful today however, that Russia is very friendly with Armenia and Armenians. I feel a sense of much needed security for Armenians in the region. Especially when dealing with the sly, very barbaric backward and the stupid Azeris.

Aren't Lithuanians those people who gleefully massacred their Jewish neighbors, before Hitler even embarked upon the "Final Solution"? And the Russians on top of that?

 

We should add in Latvia and Estonia too. The latter got cudos from Adolf for being the only country being "Judenfrei". I wonder why. <_<

And you want to be a commendant .

I was the coward who secretly cheered from behind, remember?
