My grandpa’s aunt, Mariam, a survivor of the Armenian genocide. She had to bury almost all of her children while they starved in the desert death march while taking care of her blind husband! She lived the rest of her life in Jerusalem, may she rest in peace!
@ArchaExplorer
By using that flag and claiming our Levantine food to the occupation state, you turned it to a political topic. To make the matter worse, you decided to visit this restaurant during an ongoing genocide. Now I understand why the Greek Palestinian church decided to break off :)
@ArchaExplorer
Jewish friends are different from Israeli friends, and again, different from Zionist friends. Clearly, you’re the confused one with the Levant, knowing nothing about it, since the 7th of October was a theatrical scene to attract people like you, that’s the whole story, my friend.
@realMaalouf
We cancelled unnecessary parties and festivities in Jordan and Palestine, only prayer is allowed, because our brothers are getting killed.
Stop spreading lies…
Favorite map today: Turkey’s “empty (and cold) northeast”
More people live in Istanbul’s 7 districts (in red) than in 13 provinces in northeastern Turkey (in green), a region constituting 1/5 of the country’s area and nearly equaling in size to Greece

turkey could’ve repented, recognised the genocide, ensured peace, opened borders, improved [caucasus-armenian highlands-anatolia] tourism, economy, gas lines bla bla, but no, they decided to embrace armenophobia
Armenian merchants of the Ottoman Empire were the first to bring coffee to Europe, thus it was called Turkish coffee.
Armenians opened the first coffeeshops in Paris, Venice, Amaterdam, Vienna and Prague.
Interesting points from the 1804 Ottoman Map:
• The Armenian Highlands were called Ermenistan (Armenia).
• Ararat Mountain was called Ararat and not Ağrı.
• Land of Palestine was the name of the Holy Land.
• Azerbaijan is only in the North of Iran.
Between 140-55 BC, Armenia was the strongest empire to Rome’s east.
Tigranes the Great, King of Kings, ruled from sea to sea all Syria and Palestine, transported whole Greek cities, overthrew Seleucids and was honored by all princes of Asia.
Even though I am a 4th-generation survivor of the Armenian Genocide, and only have one Armenian parent, I still speak Armenian and will speak Armenian to my children. This is why Turkey failed!
Armeno-Turkish was used by the elites of the Ottoman Empire, the Armenian alphabet fits the Turkish language perfectly. Not to mention that the first novel to be published in Ottoman Turkish was written using Armeno-Turkish.

“We’re sorry we had to kill you.” is not an apology, Armenians were the most loyal nation (according to Ottomans) until Turks and Kurds started massacring villages which led to the uprisings and later to the genocide!
Crossing Armenian borders should be severely punished, any crossing soldier should be treated as a war criminal especially after the treaty, what is the Armenian government doing?

The small number of survivors who could flee went on exile and even when left alone they were kept without food. I hope someday you can recognise our grief and we do yours.

Does your framework include Armenians to return to their homes in Baku, Nakhichevan, Sumgait and the list goes on, or is it just “Karabakhi Azeris” that your heart aches for?
Those of you accusing people of being pro-Armenian or pro-Azerbaijani, how about becoming pro-peace?
There is the framework for a peace deal. It's time to accept and implement it with peacekeepers on the ground.
Otherwise, you're only calling for war.
