alpha Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 What other independent nation celebrates its colonization. Is it a turning point of history when one colonizer is replaced by the other? The blind Russophilia has been in the roots of evil of Armenian nation and continues to be one. Are we so incapable to see the reality and learn from history that each nation has its interests and as famous British proverb says, "There are no eternal enemies, but there are only eternal interests". When will we be able to kill the Russophile in us, and become an Armenophile? Why do we even glamorize Khachatur Abovyan for his famous stupidity "Orhnvi en s'hat@ vor Rusi vot@ mtav hayots yerkir@". Just something to think about. I, as an Armenian, am so disappointed at my ancestors for their inability to defend themselves, and for willingly putting their fate into the hands of others. ITAR-TASS News Agency TASSOctober 24, 2003 Friday 5:54 AM Eastern Time Armenia observes 175th anniversary of joining Russia By Tigran Liloyan YEREVAN, October 24 A scientific conference, entitled "Turning point in history," openedin Yerevan on Friday. It is being held on the occasion of the 175thanniversary of East Armenia's joining of Russia (1801-1828). "Despite the changing of a political situation, this event willalways be of history-making significance for the Armenian nation,"said Academician Vladimir Barkhudaryan, Vice President of theArmenian National Academy of Sciences. "The main lesson to be drawnfrom the developments, that took place 175 years ago, is a consciousand popular character of the alliance with Russia," said ArmenDarbiryan, head of the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. Anatoly Dryukov, Russian ambassador to Armenia, said, "the dialoguemaintained by the Russian and Armenian leaders, as well as the levelof problems tackled by them, determine further cooperation betweenthe two countries in the political, economic and military spheres,along with concerted actions in the international arena." Prominent scientists from the leading Russian universities andcolleges made reports at the conference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJ Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Why do we even glamorize Khachatur Abovyan for his famous stupidity "Orhnvi en s'hat@ vor Rusi vot@ mtav hayots yerkir@". Alpha, During my days in Yerevan, the popular though in the caffees was that what is being delivered to us as an infamous qutoe from Khachatur Abovyan was a falsification. THe allegation was that he, in reality, has said: "Anidzvi en shat@, vor Rusi anidzial vot@ mtav hayots yerkir@..." Just a comment to second on your train of thought.

Arpa Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 They are observin what??You mean, now, after so many treacherous and cowardly acts the Russians have finally decided that there can be an Armenia inhabited by Armenians?How are the Russians different from the Romans, the Persians, the Arabs, the Turks and everyone in between including the Allies, even today, vying for the Armenian territory "without Armenians"?How many times must the Russian incite the Armenian to rise to only run away with their tails tucked between their hind legs leaving us to be massacred and decimated? Have things changed since I last read about Armeno-Russian affairs?We may find the following URL useful. An excerpt probably referring to the 175th anniversary.We may also read Raffi to see the Russian shenanigans. http://www.ataa.org/ataa/ref/myth/g_politics.html 1828 In the Treaty of Turkmenchai, the Persians were forced to cede the Khanates of Erivan and Nakhichevan (today an autonomous S.S.R., just to the southeast of Ararat) to the Russians. The borders laid down at that time are still valid today. This was the first war in which Armenian volunteers took part in large numbers, as they did later in 1914-22. The Haik of the Erivan region were now under Russian rather than Iranian control. This had very grave consequences, since the Russians had already seen how they could exploit the Armenians as useful tools. Echmiadzin, the seat of an Armenian Orthodox Catholicos, also fell under Russian control in 1828. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
