Arab uprising prompts search for differences and similarities in Armenia

The
shockwaves of the Egyptian revolution completed late last week through
a lasting popular uprising have lightly reached Armenia in the form
of talk and speculation and wishful thinking on the part of Armenia’s
frail opposition. But pro-establishment forces in Armenia as well as
some international experts see little reasons to expect developments in
the country according to the Egypt or Tunisia scenarios.
Anti-government protests in Egypt began on January 25 and snowballed
into a popular push to remove the government through demonstrations in
the streets of capital Cairo and elsewhere in this major Arab country,
forcing the veteran ruler Hosni Mubarak to step down after nearly 30
years in power.While the situation in post-Mubarak
Egypt is far frombest of systems, but then kill it with their
duplicitous policies.

Sargsyan’s
Turkish counterpart Abdullah Gul is also a nice man, but he continues
to represent a denialist regime that sponsors the killing of
journalists such as Hrant Dink, strangles its minorities, and is the
legal heir of the Ottoman Empire, which committed genocide against the
Armenian people and dispossessed it of its ancestral homeland. Gul’s
and his just-too-sly foreign minister Ahmet Davutoglu’s recent
addresses at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in
Strasbourg—and the outlandish bluster of EU Affairs Minister Egemen
Bagis at Auschwitz—beg the point. Modern-day Turkey must face history
and itself, recognize the great genocide, and cease its unlawful and
inhuman occupation of Western Armenia.

Azerbaijani
president Ilham Aliev is not so nice, but he is more honest in his
authoritarian and occupationist demeanor. Mountainous Karabagh, or
Artsakh, is Armenian
