REPLY TO A CRITIC

************************

An angry reader writes:

"The Genocide traumatized us as surely

as war traumatizes soldiers.

To describe Armenians as Ottomanized,

Sovietized and Levantinized,

as you are in the habit of doing,

is a proof of the fact that

you are a man of little understanding

and no compassion for your fellow men."

You may have noticed that an honest Armenian

will at no time use the Genocide to justify his failings.

It is different with charlatans.

I grew up among survivors

and I don’t remember any one of them

using the Genocide as an excuse.

What can be more repellent than

the spectacle of a crook and a liar

who justifies himself by saying:

"After all, as the offspring of a people

that was traumatized by a genocide,

I should be allowed to exploit, cheat,

divide, abuse, deceive and violate

the fundamental human rights of my fellow Armenians."
