No propaganda bluff can cast shadow upon the centuries long relations between the Jewish and Armenian peoples, the statement by the president of the Jewish Cultural Centre "Menora", Willy Weiner, says. There is no Armenian or Jew in the world, who is or will be indifferent to the sufferings and death of innocent victims, to the fact of the two horrendous crimes against humanities committed in the 20th century.
"My parents and their families endured all the horrors of evacuation, exile and concentration camps. Fortune brought them to Armenia, where I was born and live for 60 years. I am doubly grieved, but, at the same time, I clearly understand, why shameful efforts are exerted in some circles, through false "documents", analysis, that do not fit any logic, to spread enmity among the world Jewry towards Armenia and the Armenian people. An article by a blogger, calling himself "Israel Barouk" in Times of Israel is yet another naive attempt. I suppose that Mr. Barouk, who lives in Los-Angeles, and publishes peremptory statements in the forms of articles, has never visited Armenia and has no clue about the history of Armenian people and about more than 2000-years-old history of the Jews in this country. However, with a striking perseverance he demonstrates an "in-depth" knowledge on preferences of the Armenian people and Armenia.
Returning to the above-mentioned articles, one should use the word “failed” in its widest and most overwhelming sense, as the analysis contains all the known criteria of an inferior media outlet, i.e. false information, concealment of the truth and bottom lines of this type that "All cats are mortal, Socrates is mortal, therefore Socrates is a cat." Here he "craftily" does not ever contrast Armenia with Azerbaijan, which he had advertised previously, in order to "hide" the customers' tracks.
Whatever stance a couple of Armenians take - young students at the University of California - that do not constitute any percentage of the Armenian population of the USA, there is no excuse to present it as if it were the opinion of all Armenian Diaspora of America. In the same way, one should not appeal to the activity by some Jewish lobbyists, pushing the interests of Azerbaijan, as if it is the Jews' and Israel's stance towards the Armenian people.
