ArmInfo. The third President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, is confident that the threat of the" Turkish scimitar "will hang over the head of the Armenian people, while"some slow-witted chin-worshippers in the current government are ready to beg the executioner for peace at the expense of national interests with the psychology of the defeated on their knees." This is stated in the message of the President of Armenia on the occasion of the 106th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
In the message of the ex-president, in particular, it is said: "The Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire against the Armenian people at the beginning of the last century has not been completed. The bloody Turkish scimitar still hangs over the head of the Armenian people." According to the 3rd President of the Republic of Armenia, " Turkish
The scimitar" will remain a threat until the Armenian people overcome the victim complex, adequately defending their rights, while the crime of Genocide, which has no statute of limitations, remains - It remains unpunished and has not become a lesson for criminals capable of such a crime, as long as the current Turkish authorities do not want to accept their own history and with cynical complacency deny the genocidal steps planned by various regimes of the Ottoman Empire and Turkey in 1894-1923 and constantly carried out against the Armenian people, the deprivation of the homeland, mass pogroms aimed at the destruction of the Armenians, ethnic cleansing, and the destruction of the Armenian heritage.
In addition, according to him, the threat will be relevant, " as long as the servants of unfavorable geopolitical interests for the Armenians are ready to forget and turn the Armenian Genocide into an object of bargaining, as long as the Armenian people once again do not learn a lesson from history, do not realize their mistakes and omissions, and some slow-witted admirers of the chairs in the current government, forgetting the facts of torture and murder of thousands of their compatriots committed just a few months ago with the active participation of Turkey, are ready to beg the executioner for peace at the expense of national interests, as long as any Armenian who ignores or challenges the united will of Armenia and the Armenian people to achieve universal recognition of the fact of the Armenian Genocide, condemn the crime and overcome the consequences of the Genocide, will not be considered an apostate and traitor to the motherland and will not be condemned, as long as in addition to honoring the memory of one and a half million innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide, we will not bow with gratitude and pay tribute to the survivors and the memory of the heroes who fought and sacrificed for our national and human dignity, and we will not raise the spirit of our struggle, until we compare major regional economic projects with Turkey's active participation with our national interests, until we fully understand the role of Armenia in the region and recognize ourselves as a nation that has made a significant contribution to world civilization, and until we realize the need for an independent, powerful national statehood in our existence and the preservation of national values."
Therefore, as the 3rd President of Armenia noted, " before making demands, we will be nation-wide patriots."
