There Are Kurds

[Arpa]

There are Kurds and then there other Kurds.

In my response to that other one who claimed to be Kurdish, when I recommended he read Raffi and see the caricature of a Kurd it was because he fit the picture perfectly. During Raffi's times and after some Kurds were so smug in their belief that they being Moslem like the Turks could please their masters by doing some of the dirty work themselves expecting in the meantime to be rewarded besides the the immediate rewards of looting and plundering the Armenian.

Things have changed since then but some still don't see the reality.

 

Below some items by Kurds. Note why this writer uses the nickname Vartan. How I came up with the following was I was seraching as to how many of our cream of the crop of Istanbul were murdered. A short time ago some idiot that professed to be Kurdish claimed that the Armenians of Istanbul were not molested.

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

===============================================

THE FORGOTTEN GENOCIDE OF 1.5 MILLION ARMENIANS

===============================================

 

 

During the night of April 24, 1915, the best of the Armenian

nation--the cream of the Western Armenian intelligentsia, including

195 writers, 165 painters, 55 composers and musicians including

Gomidas Vartabed, 340 physician, pharmacists and dentists, 175

teachers and professors, 170 lawyers, and 60 architects--were all

arrested arbitrarily, without any warrants, and sent to exile in

Anatolia where they were subsequently executed. This was the begining

of "Ermeni Soykirimi"(Armenian Genocide) and "Ermeni

Katliami"(Armenian Massacres)--the kind of man,s inhumanity to man,

never before seen on this earth from the dawn of civilization to date.

The darkest curtian fell onto the Armenian nation; the angel of death

visited every home--from Istanbul to Van, from Yozgat to

Erzurum(Garin), from Bardizag to Kayseri(Caesaria), from

Sivas(Sebastia) to Munzur Mountains and the banks of the Euphrates

River(Firat Nehri), from Pasinler to Bingol and the banks of Tigrit

River..and to Deir Zor, Syrian desert, for their final journey and

final destinity of death.

 

 

Broken dreams, husbands separated from wives, children taken away from

their parents and their childhood robbed..Fathers and mothers were

killed ruthlessly; young maidens were raped, their innonence violated;

priests were mocked and humiliated; sanctuaries and churches were

desecrated. The entire Armenian nation and Armenia was witnessing the

holocaust, with many stories left untold. Fire, mass killings, rape,

torture, kidnapping was everywhere. The rivers of Armeni--Euphrates,

Tigris,Iris(Yesil Irmak), Murat Suyu, Djoroh,Arax--turned red with

Armenianblood.The mountains of Armenia-Pontus,

Taurus,Sephan,Nemrut,Haygagan Bar-- and the valleys too were filled

with corpses, yet human caravans continued to stream to their

destination in the desert of Deir Zor to meet their God.

 

 

Today we are witnessing in Kurdistan the same dark FASCIST forces

which are suffocating the entire Kurdish nation and once again

threatening the Republic of Armenia.And again the civilized world,

especially the civilized West, with all its dismay, in deep silence

and shame, is justifying Turkish agression against the Kurdish nation

and not preventing the second genocide in the same region of

Turkish-Armenia and Kurdistan.

 

 

Our demands to our adversaries are clear and precise: to recognize the

crimes and apologize; to not rewrite history; to have the courage to

reconcile with their past. Then we will believe in peaceful

coexistence, convinced that they are for reconcilliation. WE SAY TO

THE TURK; DO NOT RAPE KURDISTAN,GIVE KURDS THEIR GOD-GIVEN RIGHT AND

FREEDOM. It is easier to defend the truth than lies and fabrications.;

it is easier to give freedom than to take it away.After all,history is

full of the demises of evil empires and dictators, and the triumphs of

freedom and democracy.

 

 

DON'T FORGET 1.5 MILLON INNOCENT ARMENIANS

DON'T LET THE TURKS TO RE-WRITE HISTORY

WE DEMAND FROM OUR ENEMY: OUT OF ARMENIA

OUT OF KURDISTAN

OUT OF CYPRUS

LEAVE ARMENIANS,GREEKS,AND KURDS ALONE!

Kurds

 

I can't talk because I don't know my language

I'd like to tell you about my self but I don't know my history

I have no education because there are no schools

I don't have a brother, he was a politician, he got killed

 

No I'm sorry, no friends either, they are all in prison

 

I don't have a village because it's burned down

I don't have a house because tanks destroyed it

I couldn't stay in my land because mines cover it

I have no sister, she was a journalist, she just disappeared

 

No I'm sorry, no relatives either, they fled from the war

 

I don't know any songs, they are banned

I can't dance, it's forbidden

I can't tell you any stories because no one ever told me any

I don't have parents, they were hanged

 

No, I'm sorry, no country either, it has been stolen

Nice post Arpa.

"We shall not rewrite history" and "Kurds were used against Armenians" do not go together, unless the person in question "admits" that Kurds are brainless dweebs to be directed and told around...
