    Armenien

    Aus dem gestrigen Gedenk in Toronto. Meine dritte Zeremonie als Türke zum Gedenken an diesen Völkermord war in Marseille 2024 und 2023 Beyrouth.

    Hatte einen großen Protest und marschierte zum türkischen Konsulat hinunter. Ich sprach mit vielen Menschen auf dem Weg, die sehr offen und überhaupt nicht hasserfüllt waren, im Gegensatz zu der türkischen Propaganda, die ich darüber sprach, wie hasserfüllte Armenier Armenier sind, sprach Arabisch mit vielen von ihnen, weil die meisten Menschen westlich armenisch waren und aus dem Libanon + Syrien als Ergebnis (ich selbst in Libanon, als ich dort anfing. Beim türkischen Konsulat wurde eine Rede gehalten und forderte Dinge wie Land zurück und offizielle Anerkennung, aber auch das Endziel von Türken und Armeniern, die in Frieden leben, wieder ausdrücklich feststellten. Ich konnte nicht mehr zustimmen, insbesondere in Bezug auf Land, Reparationen und Gerechtigkeit für all dies. Sie, die Armenier haben meine volle Solidarität und Bewunderung. Und ich werde jedes Jahr am 24. April bis zur Anerkennung mit Ihnen marschieren!

      I considered going to Aleppo for this year‘s commemoration, but I decided against that because it costs way too much money. I’m not worried about the safety, as I heard they were able to commemorate the genocide there with no problem, and as much as I would’ve loved to be there, commemorating it with them, paying all that money for flights makes it a little bit prohibitively expensive 💸
      So I’m particularly curious if anyone has attended the commemorations there and can share anything from them for me! Because I only saw a couple of tweets about it and would love to know more

      Honestly, most people just want the denial to stop, and potentially church ownership/rebuilding some of the over 2,000 churches and monasteries that were destroyed. Maybe for previous Armenian names to be restored to regions and cities in a bilingual way. This could be summarized by wanting the erasure of Armenians from their indigenous lands to stop. 

      Only a minority want lands back. Outside of Ani, it’s not realistic. Other people live there now.

      Also remembered Greeks, Assyrians, and the mount Lebanon famine. Based on so many levels.

      Honestly the genocide march should stay the genocide march, it is about the dead, not about lands. I don’t know why we have to bring up arguments on land, it sounds logical to us, but in the eye of a third person, it’s land claims.

      The best approach would have been to portray these lands as ancestral and how we were cleansed from there, but not bring us „western Armenia“ as sort of a claim.

      „as a Turk“ yeah sure bud. I bet my dollars you don’t even talk Turkish as good as Arabic or French even English. A Turkish grandpa doesn’t make you a Turk without the culture involved.

      Brave of you to be able to reflect like this. It’s always hard when there’s tyranny suppressing the truth. Please stay safe.

      Liked the post until I went through OP’s account;

      “In real life, I have gotten French, Russian, Belarusian, Georgian, Turkish and Lebanese. No one has been entirely successful in guessing where I’m from”
