There's a big world out there. Armenians have succeeded in every corner of the globe (almost every backwater from Madagascar-to Manila-to Maracaibo), as long as they remove themselves from other Armenians. How sad that we have never learned to work together. We only succeed as free agents. Edited by America-Hye

Okay, so why do we care what Europe does to itself?? I say let them accept Turkey good or bad if that's their wet-dream come true. I don't care. Europe is merely a temporary resort for me. If things turn bad with Turkey in it, I can always move out. That simple.

What's up, Nairi? :huh:

Such stormig-speak easy superficiality is unusual for you. :(

 

Of course, recognition of the Armenian genocide is a complete non-issue regarding potentual Turkish membership. But there are plenty of very important real issues connected to it.

And if you can "move out", there are plenty who cannot, or would not want to. You cannot simple do a Pilate-like washing of your hands on this subject and still retain your credibility.

It's a non-issue, but I wouldn't be surpised at all if the EU would use this as a last resort to keep the Turks out. You'd bet that we Armenians would jump at the opportunity when this is dished out. Thinking, like always, in our stupefying naiveté that they do it out of their sheer goodwill. <_< And not for once realizing that again we have become the willing dupes who would be put to blame.

Why not, Steve? Isn't non-recognition Pilate like washing of hands? :)

Yes, the washing of hands of a subject that has about the same amount of importance as worrying about whether to pick your nose before blowing it or after blowing it.

Gamavor,

 

It has NOTHING to do with race. The Greeks are NO problem for the EU. They would welcome Armenia with open arms if she made a few minor changes in internal policies. Present day Turks are primarily Anatolians who are not much different gentically form Greeks or Armenians. The problem is cultural and religious, besides Turkey is not a true democracy, the generals rule EVERYTHING.

Since when Europe is a Christian club? Why you question the culture of the Turks? Don't you know that they brought the coffee to Europe? Don't you know that they invented the binoculars? Don't you know that Turks have been always tolerant of their Christian minorities? How can you question Turkish democracy when she was drafted after the American democracy?

Are some of you still feeling Armenian deep inside your heart and soul ?

Because if so...the answer to the question "THIS Turkey should enter European Union ?" is very simple NO

 

They are not going take our opinions into consideration when making this decision. So this demonstration is quite superfluous if you ask me. Don't worry Turkey won't enter the EU anyway if we want to or not.

I saw the light! Turkey needs to be part of Europe. Turkey is European country no matter her dark past. I think it is in Armenia's best interest if Turkey becomes part of EU and I don't think that this issue should be posponed for another 15 years.  :)

Recognition of the Genocide must be a precondition for Turkey's acceptance into the European Union.
