Introduction by Phaedra Behrent.
(Researcher, Editor, Poet.)
Genocide occurs throughout the world, every day nowadays – the chilling fact being that it is practiced shamelessly, in the open, with a certain diabolical pride – Legal Genocides sanctioned by the power-obsessed leaders of the world. In this scholarly bold essay, Professor Hovhanness I. Pilikian highlights the numerous examples of modern-day genocidal acts that are inflicted upon the masses of the world.
The learned Professor uncovers the ugly truth behind the tactics used to destroy the downtrodden peoples all over the globe. He points out the duplicitous nature of the heads of governments – members of the United Nations originally created to promote world-peace – who pledge outwardly their assistance and declare their plans for socio-economic improvements, then only to viciously rape people of their money, pride and ability to nurture their young. The Professor does not hesitate to name names – evil oligarchs of entire nations, who surround themselves with pedophiles and pimps. Some of the facts will shock the reader, and I am sure that you will feel outraged.
The act of genocide is atrocious in every instance, from the heinous attempt of the Ottoman Young Turks to wipe out an entire nation, the ancient Armenians, a century ago, down to the everyday acts of genocide that occur before our eyes. People are precious; life is a divine gift that should be enjoyed, never destroyed.
Professor Pilikian invites the creative minds of the world to unite against the evils of genocide, not by retaliating but by teaching the global community about the horrors happening daily, that we must never accept as normal. Make no mistake, nations are not only destroyed with weapons and bombs – the craft of destroying people by other more pleasant means, like sex and drugs and alcohol has already been refined by the Power-and-Money obsessed leaders of so-said 'Great Nations'.
In this centenary year of the unforgivable Genocide of the Armenians, we must take up the challenge advocated by Professor Pilikian – turn the tide on evil with creativity. By teaching our children the creative ways to beat those bullies is to show the genocidal bullies that we are on guard, never silenced.
The creative Professor has started the ball rolling by writing a very moving and personal song about the horrors in his own family’s history. We have indeed infinitely beautiful ways to demonstrate to the obnoxious leaders of the world that we know what they are up to – in some ways, we are all survivors of genocides, if not physical, then cultural, financial, political, legal, social, sexual – the list is unfortunately too long for a civilized society...
The Centenary of the Genocide of the Armenians by the Ottoman Turks
Creative Minds of the World,
Unite Against Genocide
- Fight Genocide by Being Creative
By Professor Hovhanness I. Pilikian
___
- Editorial Warning: Professor Pilikian is engaged in writing a series, re-thinking the problems of the attempted Genocide on the Armenians in 1915. The Professor’s socio-political analyses are radical and innovative. You will not find here the tired old refrains of “the Turks killed us” type… but ideas that may shock you out of your wits, but force you to re-think and grasp the complexities of the modern world anew – as such, a most original intellectual contribution to the Armenian centenary.
It was a monumental miracle, and a massive slap in the face of the Turkish
genociders; my own parents, Israel
Pilikian & Tefarik
Der-Arsenian (with the rarest of Armenian names), as children
survived the horrendous insufferable evil of all time. All the survivors were
indeed Saints –
because they were totally
innocent of any crime. Thank God someone of the Armenian Orthodox Church had the brilliant
idea of sanctifying them (as they do it in the Catholic Church), declaring them
Saints ceremoniously and ritually.
The genocide of us, Armenians, symbolically was literally Christ’s
Crucifixion all over again, Christ
the most innocent person on Earth was sacrificed, being One,
but being all, as a whole innocent nation-people.
Genocide is not only a single huge act perpetrated against a nation – that it is; but there are
also ‘little’ genocidal
acts, no less evil, against minorities and insignificant numbers of people
going on all the time in
ordinary societies everywhere. There can be no hierarchy of Evil, by
definition. The socio-economic system of Capitalism itself is
destroying lives through global mass-poverty, the whole planet through
pollution, deforestation (for multi-national logging-companies), but also individually, in Greece,
Spain, Cyprus, Portugal, through Banking crises; I myself had a high-status
cheque-book account in one of the biggest banks in Britain, with £1,000 pounds Overdraft facility (I could
borrow that amount of money instantly for any reason), and I just discovered
that today the bank has charged me that amount of money even though my account
is in credit, meaning I have paid all my past debts to the Bank – but they are
still charging me backwards illegally.
Should I go to Court to claim back their genocidal robbery?
How can I, when the whole British Judicial system is corrupt like rotten
eggs – they drove the Russian oligarch Berezovsky to suicide, and they chased
Mr. Fayed, owner of the Harrods,
father of Dodi, the late Princess Diana’s lover, and one of the greatest
benefactors of the British economy … out of Britain, never to return!
I appeal to all the creative minds of the globe – On this centenary year of
the genocide of the Armenians in 1915 by the Young
Turk regime of the Ottoman Empire ,
CREATIVE ARTISTS &
SCIENTISTS, UNITE. I shall offer a humble Song (at the
end).
There is no hope of genocidally corrupt politicians, interested only in
stuffing their bank accounts with dollars
and Euros, skinning
alive their constituents, with rip-off prices – last year a pizza in London
cost £9 pounds (already nine hundred % more than it should cost at £1), and you
could buy one, and get one free.
Today, at the mercy of capitalist globalization
(caution; the word is a
specific technical economic term meaning ‘the spread of the
capitalist economic system throughout the world’, not as most ‘experts’
misunderstand it as an adjective for the global spread of something, anything!)
the same pizza-make (without any improvements on content) costs £32 pounds (and
not even one free).
There are vast numbers of the poor in Britain New York
British students that long for University Education are forced into the
genocidal slavery of Bank-debt – ready fodder for the mafia-capitalist economy
that thrives on robbing people of their savings. In the last five years
of the banking crisis, when the British State Bank reduced interest rates for a
disgraceful joke to a laughable 0.01% on Savings, it permitted the banks to
steal by raking in £200 (not million, but) billion pounds of people’s money!
The rich pay no penny tax, while
the part-time lumpen-proletariat,
immigrant cheap-labour slaves are drained of their taxes at source, before even
seeing a penny of their genocidal minimal wage at £6.50 an hour, less than a
bloody pizza.
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, the Leader of the Liberal Party, was guilty of
impoverishing millions of students and their parents, by introducing University
student fees, when he had promised
on his electoral leaflets that he would never contemplate such
a genocidal act, and immediately after an official gay marriage fantasy with David Cameron,
the leader of the Conservative party on the lawns of 10 Downing street back
gardens, perpetrated the tuition-fee horror, creating a whole new generation of
part-time student-prostitution. Mr. Clegg’s own wife “earns a huge salary
with a law firm that helps
the rich avoid tax. His dad is chairman of a bank with ties to a tax
haven. No wonder Clegg has gone quiet on tax dodging”
(these are still only the large type-face headlines of a two page article in
the Daily Mail,
February 28, 2015, pp. 26-7).
The left-overs of the proletariat Mrs Thatcher, an English white woman
Prime Minister who, it turns out (only
nowadays, after several decades of official cover-ups) had
surrounded herself with government-approved
paedophiles, a bosom friend with a notorious clown with the looks of a blonde
BBC devil called Jimmy Saville (Google
the ugly rapist), Saville we know now, too late – the devil is dead, thank god
– although his BBC bosses
and everybody else in the entertainment world knew it all along that
he had abused more than 400 children…
The task of investigating the child-rapists from the time of Mrs Thatcher
(who was given a State-funeral last year) and of course can no more be blamed
for the massive “scale of the task facing detectives, consuming a huge amount
of resources” trying to investigate the evil genocidal perverts (an article in
the Daily Mail
March 9, 2015, p.21) headlined, “1,000 quizzed already in sex abuse inquires,
Detectives raid homes of Leon Brittan (Mrs. Thatcher minister, Britain’s
Representative at the council of Europe for over two decades – Prof HIP) and ex-head of the
Army … the overarching Met[ropolitan Police] inquiry … was triggered in 2012
when MP Tom Watson called for police to look again at allegations of a ‘powerful paedophile network linked
to Parliament and No. 10”.
Commonly known as Mrs. T, who genocided
the British Trade-Union movement, following an agenda of wiping
it out of British history – what the Young
Turk genociders had attempted to do to the Armenian people, wipe
them out of history – was given the details of Liberal MP Cyril Smith’s
child-rapist’s genocidal “crimes in 1988, in a secret briefing. Last
night, Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, who exposed Smith last year said: ‘Margaret
Thatcher turned a blind eye to known paedophiles’” (Daily Mail, as above).
Children are the future mankind; pedophile rape and murder of them is genocidal without
the whiff of a doubt.
House and shop Rents in Britain Britain
And this was engineered not
by a sick Conservative government – Mrs Thatcher’s “the nasty party” in the
immortal words of Mrs Theresa May, now a Conservative Home Secretary – but by
the pseudo-Socialist New Labour
invented by Prime
Minister Tony Blair who sold his soul to President George Bush, the most
genocidal of US presidents; There is a new book just out – Blair Inc: The Man Behind the Mask,
by Francis Beckett, David Hencke and Nick Kochan, published by John Blake Publishing,
London, 2015 – it unravels all the foul deeds of the Butcher of Iraq (and thank
God for our democracy that such books can still be published). While throwing
the British people to the mafia-capitalist dogs, Blair was and is engaged just
for millions of dollars – kissing the most despicable tyrants on this planet, Libya
The Book was serialized in the Daily
Mail, and here is a long headline in huge type-face of one of them;
“The despot who bought Blair for £16 million (and Cherie – his wife – for
£320k). It’s a deal
that shames Britain Kazakhstan
Blair’s mate, Gordon Brown, who followed him as PM, frequently bragged
about being the son of a Scottish Socialist-Christian preacher, but as Blair’s
decade-long Finance Minister converted Britain
Mr Brown re-capitalized the British bankrupt banks to the tune of 250
billion pounds from the blood-stained taxes of the poor – instead of giving the
poor of Britain Britain
To this day, no British bank-robber is court-martialled while Big Business is officially
permitted to avoid taxes. And here is a most genocidal statistics from
the European Commission (from a BBC 4 Storyville Documentary titled The Great European Disaster Movie)
– “Estimated Tax Evasion (by
the wealthy, the multi-national companies, corrupt tax-exiles banking off-shore
– Prof HIP) amounts
to 1
trillion
Euros per
year”.
If an immigrant is caught moonlighting, because underpaid, working for cash
in hand, the British tax-man gets him imprisoned … with wife and children if
need be, and then deport them after release from prison!
All the above are all genocides perpetrated daily on totally innocent
masses, raped daily in a thousand and one ways. Our lives in the civilized West is everyday
genocided by the stinking rot at the heart of a money-mad economic system
converting poor people into alcoholics, drug-addicts, and prostitutes (who are
frankly the only professionals left in Mafia-capitalism doing honest
business).
I hereby offer the Musicians of the world – composers and music makers –
Rockers and Pop stars; FREE of ALL copyright, and for no money, the
following lyrics from my pen, to anyone who would be inspired to create a
deeply felt song of a genocide, the massacre of my people, the Armenians, that
opened the gates of Hell in the 20th c., the most genocidal yet in human history, with not one but two humungous wars
fought all over the world, followed by the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, then the Korean war, and Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and even now
this very minute in Syria, innocent people being killed for absolutely no reason
except to steal the petrol of Iraq by Halliburton,
not to return the Golan Heights
that belong to Syria
… to protect the new cocaine routes opened recently through Ukraine … and all for Money–greed, the poisoned blood
circulating in the hardened veins of the genocidal capitalist system.
Anglo-American mafia-capitalism is destroying the world every day, every
hour of every day, and every minute and second of every hour … by car industry
pollution, unnecessary expansion of airports and aviation industry, man-made
generation of Carbon Dioxide – six
billion tonnes every year off-loaded onto our stratosphere.
The capitalist world is sleep-walking into self-destruction – if it will not happen tomorrow, it is no consolation,
if you care about your grandchildren surviving into the next century…
Here then is a protest
song against genocide, with simple lyrics (Song-lyrics must not
seek great complex poems distracting the music which must be of paramount
importance) – every word here is true and tearful, to be composed as a sweet
sad song about what my parents – the Armenians – suffered a hundred years ago, still being genocided by denials and
endless lies, never mind by the Turkish state, but the 3 great denialist
governments – of America, Britain, and Israel – the latter even more wounding
to Armenians, and unbearably hurtful, by a people that suffered the Nazi
inhumanity aplenty. Shame and eternal damnation on those three most
powerful states of the planet!
Israel’s Story
A True Story
My baby-brother, a genius,
Three years old, would ask
Ancient questions; “Who is me?”
“Why People kill each other?”
“Where is god? Can I see him?”
(Refrain) Then I was ten
In Nineteen fifteen
On our death-march
In the deserts of
My baby brother starved
And died of thirst
(Refrain) Then I was ten
In Nineteen fifteen
With my father Ohanes
Whipped by Turkish gendarmes
We’re not allowed to dig a grave
(Refrain) Then I was ten
In Nineteen fifteen}
I,
My baby brother’s breathless body
To shoo away the wild dogs
And the dark grey wolves
Said my father Ohanes
(Refrain) Then I was ten
In Nineteen fifteen
Post Scriptum
The Zionists brag that the Holocaust of the Jews was a unique event, and
nothing like it has or could ever happen – a totally crazy idea. The
horror of the shoah
(= catastrophe, in Hebrew) lies in the fact that there is nothing unique about it
(and we Armenians, have used precisely the same epithet (agheht) in our
protest-literature from the days of the Sultan Hamit massacres of the Armenians
in 1890’s. Armenian racist nationalists, copying the Jewish Zionists
(while hating them – there is unfortunately a strong current of anti-Semitism
among some ignorant and crazy Armenians), claim the same foolishness for the Young Turk genocide of the
Armenians, that it is unique, and all that Zionist nonsense!
The horror of genocides, call it what you like, whether agheht, holocaust, shoah, nakba (in Arabic), the
satanic horror of it is that it
has happened all the time, to many nations, always starting
civil-wars, and ending with total wars, maiming and genociding millions …
Unfortunately, because of the Zionist racist idiocy, different nationalities,
especially the Armenians (and other victim peoples) get
distracted by the childish game of genocide-competition
similar to the playground argument that ‘my big crayon is bigger and better
than yours, my mummy bought it at Harrods,
yours is from the Tower Hamlets
(Region of South London where poor immigrants live …)
The insufferable Sci-Fi vampire horror of the genocides lies in the
absolute fact that it happens daily in our lives, it is seared by now on the
human socio-political psyche, as we survive the blood-sucking horrors of the Capitalist system – it is its motor
mechanism, its fuel of the internal combustion, the “free markets”
(my foot! Every bit of them is manipulated by evil bankers and insurance
fraudsters), based on
warmongering and the military-industrial complex of the world’s three most
powerful arms-producing countries (mentioned above), which are also the
denialists, of the Genocide of the Armenians. Armament producers do not make
milk-chocolate bars … they kill, and are made to kill,
genociding the innocent masses, to fatten up the bank accounts of the
mafia-swine, among them the mafia-rulers of the Armenian
Republic.

For the Centenary of the Armenian Year of the Genocide:
A Shakespearean Sonnet For the Survivors of the Genocided Armenians
by Phaedra Behrent
(Poet, Researcher, Editor)
On YouTube I came across a 25 minute excerpt from Ravished Armenia, all
that has survived of an invaluable old film (made in 1919), the more priceless,
because it seems to have shared the fate of its own subject matter … an
incredible event, albeit a tragic one, as if the film itself was … genocided by
the Turkish genociders. I watched it in absolute horror. Greed for
power makes monsters of men.
I shall never understand how people can treat other people this
way.
I feel so inconsolably sad. How can politicians and armies be so
brain-washed that they can look at a person and consider them worthless?
How can anybody possibly even begin to justify the extreme
atrocities that the Armenians were forced to endure.
I feel ashamed, for not having known that this actually has
happened indeed.
I then read an article by Vaughan Pilikian, one of the most
intensely educated young men – a graduate no less of the world’s three most
famous Universities; Oxford, Cambridge and Harvard – on some of the most
distinguished Armenian websites hailing from Germany, Sweden, and America ;
Surely, nobody in his right mind, can possibly even begin to
justify (as the Turkish rulers do today) the unbearable atrocities that the
Armenians were forced to endure. They were tortured and used for the
sadistic entertainment of the Turkish soldiers who then killed them for fun –
Oh; it makes my skin crawl… I know in my heart that almost all of those
Armenian men, women and children begged and prayed for … death, unable to
suffer any more the torments by their Turkish captors, long before they were
actually killed by their hands.
I feel so angry and let down by all governments in the world that
have not sought some sort of reparation for the Armenians – Our own nation’s
first histories, the Anglo-Saxon
Chronicles have a Preface confirming that “the oldest inhabitants of these
Isles come from Armenia” – something instantly denied by
pseudo-scholars that it does not mean Armenia but … “Armorica” – what
ridiculous racist nonsense when the original manuscripts have unadulterated
clearly written “Armenia”!
I feel ashamed to be part of the human race at this moment in
time. Whole extended families were treated so heinously. Only a classical
Greek Tragedian or a Shakespeare could capture (if at all) the genocidal
horrors of those foul deeds.
My heart is aching for the Pilikian families, and the million
other innocent pilikians, Armenians eternally exiled among the nations of the
world, and their new generations (of Vaughan Pilikian and his children)
burdened with the weight of those genocidal Turkish times a century ago, but as
if it were … yesterday.
As an ordinary human being, I feel such deep compassion for what
happened to the Armenians. I doubt that there are many people alive today in
the so-said developed world that are unaware (and rightly so!) of the Holocaust
of the Jews during WWII.
But what about the 1.5 million Armenians, who appear to have
suffered equally unthinkable (if not worse) treatment 20 years earlier?
Where are the museums, films, books and school lessons about the
plight of the Armenian people, truly the first truly Christian nation on this
planet?
Life is such a precious miracle. The way some people treat others
is so abhorrent and nauseating. The worst part is that lessons are never
learnt. This horrific waste of priceless life goes on and on,
still. World issues are complex – power games in play, hidden from
public view, yet called democracy in shameless irony.
My poem below answers Professor Pilikian’s call to fight genocidal
forces with creative energies and no violence, which is genocidal in itself.
I am no Shakespeare (needless to say …) but as Shakespeare is the
greatest love-poet in the world, in humble imitation of him, I bring my
following Sonnet as a
bouquet of Love to the two million graveless Armenians buried deep in the
hearts and the souls of their survivors everywhere.
They Genocided Us
Eyes glazed, all hope is gone,
Our spirits annihilated by the evil
Ottoman,
Abused and tortured, 1915,
Abused and tortured, 1915,
They murdered 1.5 million of us.
Oh dear God, how could you forsake us, alone in the dark,
Left to perish at the hands of those Young Turks.
They took our Fathers, our Brothers, our homes,
Our villages stand fallow, friends and family gone.
Oh dear God, how could you forsake us, alone in the dark,
Left to perish at the hands of those Young Turks.
They took our Fathers, our Brothers, our homes,
Our villages stand fallow, friends and family gone.
Here we are, stumbling and crawling
along,
Through this endless desert, food and water all gone.
Through this endless desert, food and water all gone.
The very young and the old, will not
survive this wasteland,
Babes burnt, buried ‘neath dirt,
Babes burnt, buried ‘neath dirt,
Wrenched from their mothers’ hearts …
And the powerful of the world stood by,
Without shame and conscience watching this genocide
Of us Armenians, all marching to die.
And the powerful of the world stood by,
Without shame and conscience watching this genocide
Of us Armenians, all marching to die.

Let Us remember the Other Genocide,
The Wipe Out of our Ancient History
By Professor Hovhanness
I.
Today’s Turk Vs. The Ottoman
Our parents, the survivors of the most … unforgettable genocide of modern history, did not make a distinction between the Ottoman and the Modern Turks. In fact, by their accounts, the Ottomans seem to have been a kinder and more civilized people. Actually, the surviving generation of my own parents reserved the appellation of The Turk for the modern Turks – post the Young Turks – who attempted and almost succeeded in genociding them, something Historians have got completely wrong.
In other words, it was the Turks of today, whose parents genocided our Armenian parents – therefore the argument of the present-day Turkish State that it bears no responsibility for it, does not hold water – the modern children of Ataturk are the carriers of the full guilt of the genocidal crime, though ironically not the Ottoman Turks. Sultan Hamit’s genocidal crimes of the 1890s were in fact massacres, lacking the meticulous proto-Nazi State-planning that is the hallmark of the word “genocide” (according to its linguistic inventor, Raphael Lemkin), the intentional “destruction of a nation or an ethnic group”, which was the whole point of the 1915 genocide of the Armenians perpetrated by the Young Turks.
The Ottomans were happy to dominate a multi-ethnic empire, which the proto-Zionist Young Turks were determined to cleanse ethnically, and render it a mono-ethnic incestuous pigsty – the sexual fantasy of a heaven for every ultra-nationalist, be it Russian Russich, Islamic ISIS, British UKIP and French Le Pen-voting mental retards.
I myself have battled frequently with Armenian nationalists who believe firmly that the modern Turk is … Genghis Khan’s bastard, equally barbarous, genetically murderous, and can never change! Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of ‘new’
He had almost succeeded before the eyes of the Western world, when suddenly the Istanbul Pogroms took place, proving that the civilized Freemason Ataturk – his name means The Father of the Turk(ish nation) had failed disastrously in his national project of creating a nation transformed from its … Genghis Khan past! For, on that infamous day of 6th September (stretching to the 7th next day) in 1955, hardly 40 years (not a millennia) after the genocide of the Armenians in 1915, the Turks of the civilized Istanbul city, with a millennia of Byzantine and Ottoman culture behind it, exploded into a genocidal frenzy, and precisely like Hitler’s Genghis Khan-type organized Krystallnacht attacking the civilized Germanized Jews, the blood-thirsty Turkish mobs plundered and pillaged the shops of the Greeks (and whatever of Armenians left), murdered whoever of their owners they could lay hands on…
I remember (as a teenager) reading the Armenian dailies in
The Turkish state has not apologized and/or compensated for that ‘modern’ crime either and we poor, pathetic Armenians think that they will do it for our national grief of 1915 caused by their Teshkilat Mahsusiyeh cut-throats (copied by Hitler’s Sonder/Einsatztruppen – an exact Nazi translation in German from the Turkish).
Nevertheless, as a young adult, I came to London and passionately argued for understanding and kindness towards Turkish people, pointing out to the Armenian nationalists that the bad and the good are in all nations, it is the great equalizer of individuals, some Turks even helped Armenians to escape the pogroms. My own father, Israel Pilikian, had never forgotten the aalim (= the turbaned Scholar/wise man) of their neighbouring village in Adapazar who, with his family were fluent in the … Armenian language. His son Mustafa comes with his oxen-cart to help transport my father’s family and belongings to the train station (from where they would be transferred onto cattle trains destined to the Syrian deserts of Der-El-Zor, something which of course Mustafa would not know).
And my 95 years old father, in
Once, in London, at an event organized by the Turkish friends of an English Peace organization, my father – who possessed an operatic dramatic tenor of a voice at 95, in power on a par with Pavarotti – told the audience in old-fashioned genteel Ottoman Turkish, that he will sing for them a sharki (traditional Ottoman love-song) … for them, not for their government! He won the hearts and the souls of the audience that evening. They (especially the young among them) wanted my father to run a course to teach them the “beautiful Turkish” that he spoke so well and … beautifully!
There is a recording of the evening by a half-Armenian lady (now a well-established TV-documentary film-maker). She promised me many times, over twenty years… to give me a copy, and she never did. I am sure if it was … Mustafa, I would have had a dozen copies by now.
When my extraordinary father of profoundest humanity passed away – in the words of the great Abstract Painter of Soviet Armenia, who painted my father’s naturalist portrait in London, and called him The Sin-less Human – the wife of my Turkish friend, attended his funeral and mourned deeply, shed tears with my blood-sisters as one of them, reminding me of my father’s spiritual older brother, Mustafa at the train station sobbing…
And then came the cold-blooded, well-managed murder of Hrant Dink … and I lost my battle against the Armenian nationalists, that a hundred years on, and the modern Turk is still the old Genghis Khan… He will never change; the hyenas and the Turkish wolves won’t change their spots and blood-lust, genes do not change fast enough (in a few decades) to produce a new species of a civilized Turk.
I may have lost the battle, but I shall continue my lonely war against red-necks, terrorist fundamentalists of any kind, whether Christian/Muslim/Zionist, Armenian Nzhdeh-ist, Russian ultra-nationalist lunatics; in an excellent BBC 3 documentary, (Far Right and Proud by a superbly perceptive young black investigative journalist Reggie Yates), a young Russian journalist in an anti-immigration protest march in Moscow confided – “They are real Nazis [these people in the demo and their friends]. They kill people. They cut off some people’s heads and put it in their refrigerators. Those ‘friends’ kill people, really. I think you should be scared”. And after Ku Klux Klan was shouted by some participants with Nazi salutes, our handsome Black British young journalist was indeed truly scared.
Nationalists, notoriously stupid and mostly illiterate individuals, confuse natural patriotism with perverted supremacist racism. The Turkish Gray Wolves, for example, chant notoriously that “the Turks are the most civilized nation on earth, and if you disagree, we shall kill you!” They are just too dumb-ass to appreciate the ludicrous contradiction in the semantics of their tiresomely over-chanted slogan.
The Armenian newspaper editor Hrant Dink (founder of the bilingual, mostly Turkish and partly Armenian daily, Agos) was the only Armenian alive who could reconcile the two nations. And he was on the verge of it, when the Turkish state in grotesque stupidity decided to genocide him (LOLx100).
The Ottoman Turks on the other hand, were better adapted to multi-ethnic social contracts and constructs – perhaps because their harems were stuffed almost exclusively with European women – the Ottoman culture was mostly Armenian-created; Ottoman music, theatre, architecture – The Byzantine Armenian architect Drtad could repair what no one else could, the earthquake damaged, the impossibly domed Aya Sophia. Another Armenian (this time Ottoman) architect of genius, Sinan built many mosques unwittingly replicating the classical Armenian church forms (incidentally, as much the blue-print of Leonardo da Vinci’s collection of church-designs!)
The emergence of the modern Turk, in evolutionary terms, seems to have been culturally a regressive species, my nationalist friends would argue against my abhorrence of their racism. There can be no hierarchy of evil I say – whether old and new in historical time, a crime is a crime, and is genocidal by definition of its destructive nature. I can never belong to any organization that contains in its mindset Deutshland űber Alles (=
Never forget this absolute fact I call the great socio-economic equalizer; so long as all men and women need to urinate and defecate, just like animals, let no human being think he is above another, superior to other human beings. It is my final argument against nationalist idiocy and/or lunacy.
Armenian nationalist racists – Village Idiots
The Chinese Communist Party has just donated an honorary doctorate to Mr. Serzh Sargsyan (an illiterate official orthographic form of Serj Sarkissian), President of Armenia. If only they knew that his political Party, called Hanrapetakan (= Republican) worships an Armenian Nazi fool called Garekin Nzhdeh, they would withdraw their honour.
Nzhdeh is an ugly pseudonym only a grotesque skull-worshipping perverted Nazi sadist would adopt, like the Viking skull icon (called Russich) of the Russian ultra-nationalists whose ears (literally) are stuffed with… axe-heads. Could any self-respecting intelligent patriot symbolize his people with such a ridiculous image dripping blood that renders your people the laughing stock of the world? They are Russian neo-Nazis, but the Armenian Nzhdeh was a true Nazi – he had gone to
The unintelligent echt Nazi Nzhdeh – no man of any intelligence could be a Nazi, even though the German masses seem to have been – the semi illiterate Armenian is famous with a word he invented – tsegh-a-kron, which is the cornerstone pulling together his racist űber Alles political philosophy. I challenge any Armenian linguist to evaluate the word semantically, grammatically, structurally or any other way – literally, tsegh means race, and kron means religion, but what the hell does the formal addition mean, race-religion?
In the Armenian language of millennia of refinement and elegance (as employed for example in the political discourse of the Lebanese Armenian intellectual and distinguished Lawyer Kassbar Derderian), tseghakron can only pass as a brick misshapen by a novice apprentice; as an inelegant awkward noun, it cannot be transmuted into other linguistic forms, like an adjective, or declined as a verb, and speaking aesthetically, tseghakron is ugly, ugly and ugly, there is no way you can beautify it grammatically, while semantically it is simply non-functional.
Worse, the Armenian Republican ruling party of the present president has even constituted a State Honour, with a medal and all that, in the name of Nazi Nzhdeh, which if the Council of Europe gets wind of, they may decide to throw Armenia out of Europe, where neo-Nazism (let alone true Nazism) is officially outlawed as a state religion (and rightly so).
What the Nazis did specifically to the Jews (and the world in general) is beyond human forgiveness. Frankly, forgiving the Nazi concentration camps (and the Turkish genocide of the Armenians) is an act of arrogance by people who think they are … God! As a humble human being, I cannot forgive them, although I do not advocate their genocidal elimination.
The way to defeat evil is by endless, patient education, and democratic persuasion, never by force which is inherently violent and inhuman. We are born to live, not die – die naturally, never by violence.
And all human evil is first and foremost a matter of sheer ignorance, lack of historical knowledge that leads to cultural superstition, which eventually produces the intellectually stupid man, even though he may possess a heart of gold.
We must Remember and Recover our Ancient History
Forget the bloody Turk and the Nazi Nzhdeh-s for a moment, to remember our genocided ancient History wiped out of world history, and in which the Turks do not feature at all.
In this year of the centenary, I hope the Armenian intelligentsia finally wakes up from the torpor forced upon them by the conspiracies of Western imperialism, responsible for our genocide in the first place. This ridiculous waste of time and creative effort of trying to get the Turks to acknowledge their genocide of us is a despicable American conspiracy to exhaust Armenian Diaspora’s financial (presenting a case in the American Congress costs millions of dollars), intellectual and cultural resources, to dilute and negate world-wide the massive genius of the Armenian mindset and soul.
At the half point of the centenary, the Soviet Armenian intelligentsia was sacrificed, holocausted by the Cold War NOT to reclaim our ancient history. One Soviet Academician called Boris Piotrovsky, who knows in whose pocket, invented out of his peanut-head, and incredible ignorance, The Urartu culture in the heartland of the Caucasian Armenian Highlands, while denying categorically its Armenian origin. It took Raphael Ishkhanian, a Soviet Armenian historian three whole decades of tiresome, unnecessary struggle, under siege from the Armenian foot-lickers of the Leningrad academic mafia, at the risk of losing his own career (with threats to his life), to prove the very obvious that Urartu is nothing else but a linguistic variant of … Ararat (the Biblical name of Armenia’s holy mountain), hence its Kingdom was indeed totally Armenian!
I myself felt delighted by the much abused Ishkhanian’s attendance at my lecture (over twenty years ago) in the Yerevan Institute of Linguistics. I was chaffed he had the health and the strength to persevere. And even today, his invaluable work of saving Urartu as the

Ought-a-sar, the name of their locus contains historical facts (as all ancient appellations do) that need decoding – ought = camel, sar = mountain, referring perhaps to its visual appearance of a camel’s hump. Most importantly though, I think it codes a travel route on the Silk Road to
The Christian Armenian Genocide of the Pagan Armenians
We are very proud of being the first Christian nation in the world – with King and Country, in 301 AD, the Armenians were the first people to convert in toto to Christianity. But there was a terrifying genocidal dark underbelly to this historical fact – a history that must be confronted and rescued from the dusts of history. We have denied this necessary action for 1,700 years now, and now, right this very second, as a grand tribute to the genocide-centenary, our intelligentsia must be shaken out of slumber, and begin immediately the intellectual ambulance-resuscitation service.
The great first hurdle to jump would be to accept our own immense genocidal act upon our pre-Christian culture. The cultural genocide perpetrated by the first Armenian-Christian zealots was so completely heinous and humanly unacceptable, and intellectually unintelligent and downright stupid, that one is left speechless by the fact that today we know very little, to say nothing, of our ancient culture, which of course was one of the great glories of ancient history.
Our intelligentsia, freed from whoring to the corrupt Western so-said “Experts”, first and foremost must immediately and finally understand and grasp the unalterable historical fact that the many histories of the cultures that were born and cradled in the Armenian Highlands are the different aspects of the same golden tree of our Armenian ancient history.
The late Ishkhanian successfully claimed the Armenian origin of the
We are intolerably ignorant of the fact that one of the two most powerful kingdoms in the ancient world, the Hittites (vs. the ancient Egyptians) was also a native Armenian empire formed in the Armenian Highlands. What people call their own selves is vital to decipher their true identity encapsulated by the etymological articulation in their nomenclature – their identity tag.
Thus, the “Hittites”(an Anglo-German modern name) called themselves Kha-tti, the root of which is in the dialect of Van region – kha-i means Armenian (in the dialectal Armenian), which even gives a clue to the geographical cradle of their birth – in the region of Van/Tushpa. Their identity tag of Khai later appears at the heart of the classical Greek alphabet, the χ (called also kha-i), is the soul-breath of the Greek language itself brimful of kh-ai, which is the guttural articulatory variant of the vowel-soaked h-ai.
On the balance of probabilities, it thus seems undoubted, that also the classical Greeks were the relatives of the Armenian Hittites from the Van region, reaching
The ancient Egyptian was called Ai-guptos, another scion of the H-ai people, who when they reached ancient Egypt, they built the Pyramids as a holy replication of the Ararat mountains, where they were born, and discovered the philosophical basis of worshipping the Sun, mankind’s oldest religious cult thus invented in ancient Armenia. One can even locate its precise historical cradle – Caucasian
The birth and evolutionary development of different branches of mankind from the same tree-root, and their genocidal conflicts is reflected by the Old Testament myth of Cain killing his own blood-brother Abel. Foul genocidal murder does not at all imply difference of species – alas, alack, brothers do murder their own blood-brothers.
No Room for Racists – Jewish Origins
And we are all brothers and sisters under the skin. This is not sentimental goodness – it is a biological genetic fact. We are also genetically related to plants like the Daffodil. 99% of the human blood is of the same composition as that of the Baboons – it is therefore hilarious when Armenian, Russian and Jewish racists babble of their pure-bloods (LOL x 1000) …
Skin-colour and physiology are functions of environmental conditions, producing different nourishment and food-recipes. There was a time in
The population on this planet Earth is truly one, we are absolutely brothers and sisters – the whole point of the Genesis-book (in the Old Testament), incredibly, hitherto un-understood by mankind, for very long 2,000 years – a single, simple, great wisdom mankind does not seem to grasp, causing the great catastrophe of genocidal stupidity, which is then also manifested by the endless genocidal enmities of the tribes in ancient Israel, the most blood-soaked place on this planet, ironically the Holy Lands of God himself, and Jerusalem, His own sacred city (LOL x a million) hence never put in practise anywhere else in the world (LOL x a billion);
Joseph, was sold as a slave by his own blood brothers, all sons of Jacob; Edomites, and his progeny born of Edom (= the hairy one, as if one could help one’s birth-appearance!), Jacob’s twin, yet mortal enemies that must be genocided by their own brothers; a grandson of Edom, Amalek and his progeny are even more hated by the Jews down to our own days – there are three hate-filled mitsvot (= commands) every kosher Jew must absolutely obey for life, fight our enemies, hate them, and wipe out the Amalekites – Note that they are really the semantic variants of the same single command, directed at the Amalekites, displaying the intensity of the Jewish hatred of their own brothers.
But why – Because of a tall tale that they attacked the Jews in the Desert during the Exodus, and consequently the great Prophet Moses (who was the unwanted child of an… Egyptian woman left in a basket-boat to drown) dictated that every Amalekite must be placed on one’s thighs for his head to be cut off.
Let alone the fact that the younger generation of Israeli archaeologists, the best in the world money can buy, have questioned firmly the historical veracity of the Exodus legend, and the historicity of mythical characters like Moses, Kings Solomon and David, Abraham, Jacob etc.
The Edomites the Jews are ordered to genocide are after all the blood-brothers of the Jews themselves, all Jacob’s children … for god’s sake! It is totally mad, primitive, illiterate, and bonkers, downright stupid. No one knows the identity of the Jewish people – like the identity of most ancient peoples. The identity tag of the “Jew” derives from “Judah”, meaning merely “people of Judah”, a region in today’s Israel, which was historically entirely multi-ethnic, including Canaanites, Philistines, Moabites, Greeks, Assyrians, Armenians you name it. Modern Israeli archaeologists have bravely suggested (stirring the unmitigated ire of the Orthodox Jewry) that the Jews may be a Canaanite tribe, that … Jews have hated for 2,000 years.
But if the holiest and most terrifyingly sacred appellation of their mono-God (and I apologize for having to mention it now) Iah-wah (the Orthodox Jews have invented more than 70 other names to circumvent this one, like Ha-Shem = the Name, El-Shaddai = the most powerful, Almighty etc.) is valid as a species-identity tag, then by reading its root iah in the Indo European linguistic style from right to left delivers hai, and confirms firmly and uncontroversially their descent from Caucasian Armenia, in the outskirts of Noah’s Ararat Mountain peak where Noah’s Ark rested, for Noah to descend and re-create mankind in the Armenian Highlands symbolically as a single entity, evolving into different cultures, but staying the same in basic physical architecture.
The dialectal distinction of the h-ai root and its guttural Van-dialect (k)h-ai variant is so fundamental, as to be a precise topographical indication of the territorial regions of the Armenian Highlands whence those ‘different’ ancient cultures branched out – the Southern Van region, and the North Eastern Caucasus, both part of the fertile plains at the skirts of the Ararat Mountains, the world’s foremost sub-oceanic volcano (symbolized by Noah’s flood sinking it), which built up the landmass of this planet over billions of years of eruptions spewed in the air as volcanic ash and lava (symbolically, the 40 days of the non-stop Flood-rain).

Rational Absolutes vs. Cultural relativism
I am not a cultural relativist. I do not eat fried flies with eggs on toast, or chew cockroaches to pretend that I respect other cultures. And there is this ridiculous “politically correct” notion, that anything old and ancient is perfectly acceptable, admirable, and desirable. There can be no logical reason for such a daft assumption, like the ancient Judaic Leviticus (20:13) law of punishing sodomy with Death – in fact, there are many damnable ancient customs like the Inca digging out the throbbing heart from the chest of a live victim – thank goodness we do not practice such horrors, although recently minority terrorists (like the Islamic ISIS – a Western government inspired-and-trained gang of cut-throats released onto Syria’s Bashar Al-Assad, to topple him), have began mankind’s evolutionary regression into Monkey-ism.
I categorically condemn barbaric ancient practices built on blood-lust, cannibalism, child sacrifice (the Old Testament Moloch cult) for power-holding ruling-class idiocies, of which the Incas and the Mayas were outrageous examples. I consider the Roman so-called civilization to be no more than genocidal State-barbarism that puts even the Young Turk genocide of the Armenians to shame. I will never condone, but always condemn categorically the totally stupid and sickly pornographic practice of female genital circumcision in Islamic Africa. In my books, Child-marriage in
In the above senses, everything mentioned above and some, common to all ancient cultures without exception (including of course the pagan Armenians), I do not admire, and would never consider as ‘civilization’ but as mere human folly born out of sheer ignorance. In this context, all those New-ageist old hippies who slobber over childish ancient cults, un-critically, non-judgmentally, I do not wish to have any communion with.
The Obscenity of Gallipoli
When the Turkish government decided to celebrate their victory at Gallipoli in 1915, and was being a clever dickey inviting ignorant world-leaders to join hands with them on the 24th of April against… the Armenians, to sabotage the latter’s commemoration of their victims of the Young Turkish genocide the same day .. I had a good belly laugh, for several days!
And let me tell you why, because I am sure none of them, least of all the Turkish government would know about the historical facts of the Gallipoli (polis = city, of the Galli), which was a cult-centre in ancient Armenia (North-Western Anatolia). It is likely that Winston Churchill called the Butcher of Gallipoli in the British parliament, after the disastrous strategically incompetent military campaign spearheaded by him costing 250,000 casualties out of 480,000 allied troops that attacked the Turkish army, which the eugenicist/racist Churchill had underestimated as a gang of rag-tag “mental defectives”.
Winston Churchill was quite mad that way; he loved being an eccentric buffoon, constantly attention seeking (like a woman), dictating letters from his bathroom (a euphemism for the toilet), and once (during the 2nd World War) on 29 December 1941, terrified the disabled wheelchair bound US President Franklin Roosevelt by exposing his genitals to him, in the white House (See, Dan Plesch, America, Hitler and the UN, How the allies won World War II and forged a Peace, L.B. Tauris Publishers, 2011, London, p. 1).
It is likely that Churchill knew about the Roman galli, the castrated priests of the Syrian goddess Atargatis, and the Roman prophetess Cybele. The cult was widespread, everywhere in ancient Armenia, and Assyria, and a most disgusting inanity which probably post-modern British pagans and American hippy leftovers would love to revive – the galli were self-castrators, obviously mentally ill self-harmers, but of the most violent and … stupid kind – it was a Festival ritual. Imagine going to a public park in a European capital city with your children, to see a springtime flower show, and what you witness is the following;
“in the middle of the crowd, a young man in an ecstatic state grabbed a sword, slashed with it his testicles and walked from house to house holding them in his hand and receiving women’s clothes and accessories from the people” (See, Martti Nissinen, Homoeroticism In the Biblical World, A Historical Perspective, translated by Kirsi Stjerna, Fortress Press, Minneapolis, USA, 1998, p. 31).
The harijan in today’s India, the women-clad male prostitutes, are a harmless caricature of the Romanesque galli of the ancient Anatolian Armenian city of Gallipoli, which the mad Winston Churchill glorified with his doomed campaign, attacking the Dardanelles shores one disastrous day on 25th April, 1915, literally one day after his Young Turk Freemason mates had arrested the Armenian intellectuals (some of them also Freemason Bro’s) on the 24th. Their Turkish Bro leader, one of the triumvirate of the great genociders, Enver Pasha, Churchill had personally inducted into Freemasonry in
I am well-aware of politically correct anthropological and sociological theories explaining the Sado-masochistic customs of the ancients I refute as mental categories. I only accept the economic explanation of extreme poverty for the modern Indian harijan – genocidal capitalist pressure that forces decent human beings into such indecent behaviours – I am happily judgmental in such intellectual matters. I have not spent a lifetime of critical thinking, not to be judgmental, which is the fashion today.
The perverted among the world-leaders may quite enjoy a festival of Gallipoli performed by the distinguished President of Turkey, Mr. Erdogan, and his American-educated-and-trained Prime Minister Mr. Ahmet Davutoglu. Imagine them cutting their testicles by a sword in the presence of
A case of cultural genocide unique in History
As I advocate all for all-knowledge, bad or good, we Armenians, must recover our truths, and continuous history from the very beginning, which Movsess Khorenatsi attempted to do, 1,500 years ago. I do not think his famous history has even come down to us in its entirety. Scholars have not grasped the fact yet that his original manuscript was mutilated by the Christian censors, even though in Khorenatsi’s History, the paucity of the survivals (and I am using the word as an anthropological theoretical term) proves the immensity of our pagan culture.
The humongous cultural genocide of half a million years of Armenian history – or whenever you date the beginnings of the hunter-gatherers pre-dating the agricultural revolution eight thousand years ago – was perpetrated by the Christian Armenians in the 5th c. AD.
It was a puzzling act of ultra masochism and self-destruction, which Britain’s King Henry Viii committed over a … thousand years later, by wiping out the Catholic culture of England – his henchmen viciously and violently attacked the monasteries and the Churches, breaking priceless sculptures and whitewashing frescoes, and finally turning even buildings into war-ruins … the case is so similar and imitative of the Armenian behaviour, that I often wonder if the power-crazed mad King Henry and his scholars of religion knew about the Armenian case – they could have, as Khorenatsi’s History of the Armenians was translated into Medieval Latin!
It needs to be exhaustively researched if this Armenian masochistic self-immolation was actually an act by the Armenian people. I am not being nationalist, trying to blame ‘others’, but there is some historical evidence suggestive of an ancient Persian conspiracy of infiltrating a Fifth Column of religious fanatics into Armenia; at the time, the Christian Armenian cultural genocide was undoubtedly conceived and commandeered by the Armenian Catholicoss, Sahak Partev in Etchmiadsin (the holiest See of the Armenian Apostolic church, now in a suburb of Yerevan) – his surname Partev is an irrefutable evidence of being a… Parthian/Persian. Like other genociders in history, the Parthian-Armenian Catholicoss could not have acted alone, but had his gangs of genocidal cut-throats. They simply wiped out our vast screen of ancient history, out of world-history.
In Praise of Armenian Christianity
Let me repeat – I am not keen on ‘hippy’ paganism for its barbaric, ignorant, inhuman, and ultimately genocidal stupidities. I consider Christianity in pure intellectual and cultural terms to be a great leap forward on the scale of human progress and civilization.
The endless number of gods in ancient times, with their human attributes of mostly stupid, childish, and ignorant behaviours was inhibitory to human intellectual advance. Christianity with its essential monotheism was god’s gift to mankind as a civilizational cultural impetus, opening up the human mind to Science, first and foremost. Ironically, the sciences would be impossible to start up without Christian monotheism, saving the creative human mind from the infancy and clutter of endless superstitions manifested from polytheist dictates and conditions.
If nothing else, the fact that Christianity liberated mankind from the most repugnant habits of cannibalism, and child-sacrifice, is its greatest imaginable historical contribution to human advance and welfare – the greatest civilizational advance. And the Armenians cannot but be proud to be the first intelligent humans to have grasped this nettle. If nothing else, this alone could have been the greatest contribution the Armenians made to human history.
But was it worth it?
Frankly, the only true Christian seems to have been … Jesus Christ himself.
Towards the end of his life, Luther (like Mao Tse Tung) went senile, wrote pamphlets against the papacy, Anabaptists, and last but not least anti-Semitic piffle against Jews.
The Bible itself was horribly raped by the Western imperialists to … rape, conquer and enslave the Afro-Asian continents. Christian churches today are worse than ever unworthy of Christ’s truth, betraying him a thousand times a day, becoming dens of child-rape and sodomy. According to a BBC 4 documentary, the
And our own Church of Etchmiadzin, in Armenia, the first among the corrupt Church-equals (of the Vatican and the Church of England), was recently discovered to have had its head, no less than the Catholicoss himself secretly married, with children (very shocking for a celibate Clergy), and over a million dollars in a personal account in the Swiss branch of the HSBC bank, lately proven to be “the world’s most corrupt Bank” harbouring tax-avoiding, money laundering, arms-trading, mafia sustaining criminal oligarchs of all nations.
Was the genocide by the first Christian-Armenians of our pagan culture and very ancient history – a total wipe out, out of the world’s history books – worth it?
Certainly not in the context of a totally corrupted church of male prostitutes, Mafia bank robbers, and Capitalist whore-and-war-mongers.
In the Beginning was Khorenatsi’s History
Having confronted bravely and acknowledged heroically our nation’s masochistic self-harming and genocidal destruction of our priceless ancient history, to then recover it like a … Microsoft Word Doc, we must begin at the beginning with Khorenatsi’s History of the Armenians – even though fragmentary, it is still a treasure trove, an Aladdin’s cave, call it what you like … A South African goldmine of priceless nuggets that can be strung together to produce a continuous chain of history.
Ancient Chinese and Armenian Relations –
A Case study
Let me give an example of how a clear-minded scholar (un-sold to Western imperialist interests) would recover factual history from fragmentary records.
One of those priceless Khorenatsi gold-nuggets is the information that a Chinese nobleman, called Mam-kun, escaped the wars in
Let us unpack this brief information to find the precious blood-diamonds in a pouch of our long lost ancient history.
The first thing to notice is the immense importance of Armenia stretching to … China, enough for a Chinese nobleman to undertake the long and hazardous journey to Armenia merely to find physical safety (and save his sperm) – Armenia should have had some ‘international’ power and prestige then, almost one competing with … China. Did Mam-kun travel with a retinue of guards? Does it imply that the incredibly long route was well-protected militarily, which would have been a costly affair affordable only by an immensely wealthy state.
Did Mam-kun travel by the
Ancient
Why should Mam-kun think of …
Having studied some Chinese, I was stunned by the incredible discovery that the Chinese word (K)H-ai is the fundamental building block of the most important socio-linguistic concepts of the Chinese language – hai = Sea/ocean; it is for example in the name of the city of Shang-hai – shang here is an adverb = above, on, Shang-hai = (the city)-on-the-sea.
Hai-tsi = child, a most fundamental concept in any language; m-ai = to buy-and-sell (with different tones), a most crucial word for the exchange of goods/trading, in which the Chinese are past masters.
And most stunningly, the word for Love is ai, the fundamental of primary human emotions leading to natural heterosexual activity producing the hai-tsi, in the absence of which the continuity of Life itself is destroyed; ai-ren = husband, literally, love-man, ren=man/person.
The Chinese language is thus flooded with hai, the sole country in the world for a Chinese brimful of … Ai, signifying a country of Love – no wonder; Mam-kun’s escape to Hai-astan was a homecoming. And he found the security and warmth his ancestral homeland could offer him, in fact so much so that, he never dreamt of returning to his second home in China, and felt so comfortable in Hai-astan, that he became even more patriotic a hai than a native, founding the most important Medieval Armenian aristocratic dynasty of the Mam-i-kuniants (another variant pronunciation), who carried nobly the burden and the function of the defence of the whole of Armenia against enemy aggression.
All that, as a contrast to the endless civil wars in China – one could argue that China had experienced no real peace, since its formation, until Mao’s Communist victory in our own times – The Republic of China was declared on the 1st of October, 1949 by Mao Tse Tung. The pity of it is that Mao in his old age went mental, mad, and, through sheer genocidal self-destruction, devastated what he had achieved, very much like a pre-Christian … Armenian, and
Khorenatsi’s nugget also contains the sensational gem that Armenia was not a mono-ethnic society, but the ancient world’s most excitingly multi-ethnic one, to even include … Chinese people, who are otherwise totally absent from Middle Eastern history (for example). There is not a single mention of any Chinese presence in the most multi-ethnic context of the Holy Lands where Jews, Armenians, Canaanites, Greeks, Assyrians, Moabites, Amalekites, Edomites, Philistines, Phoenicians etc. etc. co-existed, but not any Chinese … yet a Mam-kun knows of the ‘famous’ multi ethnic country of H-ai-astan, where he can be safe, and risks life and limb to get there.
A Chinese Concept of Life-relations – Guanxi
The Chinese have a very traditional ancient life-concept that guides their socio-economic, and even sexual interaction, called guanxi = relationship, which is active even today in their system of operating Socialist market forces. They never trade with people they have no guanxi with. The American style of breakfast deals done today, and gone tomorrow is not to their taste at all. All those American and European businessmen who thought the growing Chinese economy will be easy prey for their racketeering fell flat on their noses.
Perhaps the erotic meaning of the word is the best way to appropriate its complex semiotic semantics; a sentence like, wo (= I) xihuan (= would like) gen (=with) ni (=you) guanxi (= sexual relationship), which implies intimate knowledge. The commercial point of it is that a Chinese person would only trade with someone of whom he has intimate knowledge, which can only come from a long-term relationship, built on complete and total mutual trust, which could never emerge by the American style of making a fast buck.
Perhaps in the high-octane mafia-capitalism the Chinese are drawn into, the Americanization of their business mind-set is bound to change losing their ancient concept of guanxi (while the sexual aspect of the semantics may not). In the context of Khorenatsi’s scant information, the classical concept of the guanxi is coded, suggesting that the nobleman Mam-kun had a life-long guanxi with the ancient Armenians, the country of love = ai-guo (guo = astan/vosdan = land/country/piece of earth), his ancestral land, memorialized in his Chinese language flooded with the Armenian name-tag of his forefathers hai from time immemorial.
History in the Making, and a very Serious Warning to Armenia’s genocidal Enemies
On the 27th December, 1991, The People’s Republic of China had officially recognized the independent
You would think that the Chinese (like Khorenatsi’s aristocratic hero, Mam-kun of China) were very keen on strengthening and defending their little brother of Armenia – Mao’s communist comrades-in-arms were all very fond of the Armenian Anastas Mikoyan, sometime President of the Soviet Union, whose brother was the inventor of the MIG Soviet fighter jets, that won many wars of liberation in Africa and Asia. Afro-Asian patriotic leaders were grateful for the MIG fighter planes provided by the
There was a famous political joke from that period – when an averagely educated dumb-ass American official asks President Mikoyan; “Armenians? How many are you?”.
Mikoyan answers with a foxy smile; “With the Chinese, we are 3 billion” (the number of the Chinese population at the time, while Armenians counted only 3 million). It took the new mafia-capitalist Armenian Republican breed five very long years (August, 1996) to open an Armenian Embassy in
Presumably, the Armenian state was too impoverished to afford one (the Armenian ambassador sleeps in the Embassy!), rather, the corrupt leadership was too busy stuffing their pockets with cocaine-infested US dollars; on 16th August 2009, a frightening research was published by a Chinese/American Professor of Biochemistry, Yuegang Zuo (from the University of Massachusetts in Dartmouth/USA in most of the US media (National Geographic News, CNN etc.) that 90% of US Dollar bills carried traces of Cocaine, turning America into the world’s most powerful drugged up country Armenian mafia-oligarchs love!
Then, in September 2003, a very high-level Chinese government delegation including members of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (led by Luo Gan, if I remember rightly) suddenly arrived in
Meanwhile, the Foreign Minister of Armenia paid a visit to the Armenian Community in
Unfortunately, such selectivity in international affairs also reeks of racism, as I myself was the target of Internet Armenian Nazi Nzhdeh-ist trolls scorning me for admiring the language (Chinese) of “the nation of the almond-shaped eyes”, my own father having been one, as his family was Mam-kun-yants related.
I shall now reveal, for the very first time my own solution of the Chinese political conundrum; at the millennial historical turn-around (towards the end of 2000), while I myself was invited by the Swedenborg Society in London, to deliver the millennial Lecture about the modern significance of the Swedish Christian Sage of the 18th century, Baroness Caroline Cox, the Deputy Speaker of United Kingdom’s House of Lords, and the Saint of Karabagh – she had single handedly organized over 40 Charity flights to save the Armenians of Karabagh from being torn apart by the genocidal hyenas of the Islamic killing machines of Azerbaijan.
I do not know what those cargo planes contained. All I know is that Lady Cox, as a Christian miracle-worker, and an incontestable fact of history, could save the people of Karabagh save themselves heroically, from the teeth of the Islamic proto-ISIS terrorists. At the time, at the hot hub of shaitan (= Arabic for “Satan”), the totally well-informed Baroness Cox had the courage to warn the London Armenian Community in an open letter to the Armenian media, that there is a very serious threat developing, to complete the unfinished business of the genocide perpetrated by the Turks in 1915.
The alarm bells the Lady rang long and hard was very serious indeed – it was genocidal. You could not be an Armenian patriot (humbly, like me, not though a Nationalist feeling superior to others) and do nothing.
I dispatched a personal and confidential letter to the Chinese President of the time, Zhang Zemin, sending him a copy of Lady Cox’s published letter, and asking the President of China to literally protect and save our nation, their little brothers, as a necessary tribute, in Communist solidarity to their historical … Mamkun, the progenitor of Armenia’s own glorious Soldiery.
I publish herewith this historical document for the first time in this centenary year of the genocide of the Armenians, exactly as I had produced it fifteen years ago, as a warning to all our neo-Nazi ultra-nationalist Turkish and Azerbaijani enemies, that our Big Brothers, the Chinese are in Armenia to defend us.
That is why also a second very high level delegation of the members of the Politburo Standing Committee of the Chinese communist party led by Li Chongchun visited

Office of the President,
Dear President Zemin,
I write this with a heavy heart and enormous urgency.
You may have heard of Baroness Cox, Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords of Great Britain. I enclose a copy of her Open Letter to the Armenian People for your urgent perusal. It is a most frightening wake-up call. It seems the Chechen terrorists President Putin chased out of Russia have turned grey wolves in Azerbaijan and Turkey planning to drink Armenian blood next (perhaps in memory of their ancestors, who were used in Ottoman Turkey once, to genocide the Armenian nation), while the Anglo-American governments who arm them for oil are laughing their heads off, like hyenas..
I would place the fate of my nation in your hands. You have the Power to save us. We, like Chairman Mao’s
The Armenians are the oldest People on this Planet according to the historical record in the Old Testament; Noah’s
And according to our national Historian Movses Khorenatsi (5th c. AD), a Chinese Nobleman by the name of MamKun found refuge in Armenia from his enemies, and moreover, became Armenian and founded our Aristocratic Dynasty of Mamkun-yan-s, who became the military defenders of all the Armenian Kingdoms that constituted historical Armenia (most of present day Turkey).
Saving the Armenians from extinction can be the greatest, noblest act of any Presidency. I am certain you can perform such a miracle.
Yours truly

A Comment from Dr. Armen Baghdoyan
From Professor Pilikian’s tremendous essay I will pick just one gem that perhaps best characterizes the Professor’s ideology as well as philosophy concerning all the mini topics he touches upon in his volcanic outpouring.
“Nationalists, notoriously stupid and mostly illiterate individuals, confuse natural patriotism with perverted supremacist racism.”
Nationalists are the permanent losers in history regardless of where they make their appearance. As for racism, it is the lowest degree of repugnance to which anybody can descend.
There is man; then there is humanity. These are eternal entities. Everything in between is transient. Like groups, tribes and yes, nations. We can see how a simple gadget like the iPhone has homogenized all members of not only a society, but of the whole humanity. These are the concepts–I would call them eternal truths, Pilikian so uniquely elaborates on. In this sense he is a moralist, liberal socialist, a man fighting untiringly for justice and equality. A Humanist of the first calibre, a highly talented representative of man and humanity. This essay of Pilikian reaches one of the noblest heights in man’s eternal struggle for absolute freedom and total liberation.
