Turkey in force for peace. This direct descendant of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, Sultan Red, young Turkish Republic and Atatürk founded on blood and suffering of thousands of people in Armenia and throughout the region ... How humiliating to see the soldiers on the borders of Lebanon, what a humiliation for Lebanon long under the thumb of the front door! How humiliating for the Armenian community represented in the national assembly and council of ministers and contributor to the social and economic life of the country!
Who does not know yet, Lebanon has recognized the Armenian genocide, the first planned killing of the twentieth century, the first idea of a final solution to the Armenian problem, Hitler himself also referred to it before launching her campaign against Jews, gypsies and communists with the famous and sad sentence: "Who today remembers the Armenian genocide? . It was probably not wrong, since the international community and Europe, despite the recognition by France of the 1915 Genocide, condone the sending of Turkish soldiers to protect our security to Israel.
As Lebanese citizens of Armenian origin, I saw the irony of history, this ridiculous farce as an unacceptable provocation, not by xenophobia against the Turkish people or need for revenge, but because of the injustice with respect to my ancestors for the past 95 years have received no compensation.
The work of mourning can not be said to have begun as the criminal does not accept his guilt. In this case the criminal was a state crime and a crime against humanity. Certainly it is not the current government of Turkey, of course the dead are no longer there to testify or appear in court, because certainly he must forget all forgotten, but should we not denying the historical evidence. Germany at the time acknowledged the Holocaust, the reconciliation took place, Turkey remains until proven otherwise a state of denial accomplice indirect killings during the First World War. Under these conditions, no reconciliation is possible and the presence of Turkish troops on Lebanese territory is revolting. Imagine Israeli soldiers in ensuring the future security of Palestinians without admitting the suffering they have inflicted on them for half a century without any compensation, it is absurd. Well it is this configuration that are suffering the spirit of the Lebanese Armenian community, their memory is harmed, their past is thrown into oblivion.
No citizen of Lebanon can not accept that part of his people be so humiliated, much less the government should make a fair decision, that is to say the refusal to receive those few Turkish military, which would probably better deal of respect for human rights in their own country.
