Pashinyan chose to commemorate the genocide today by telling us to get over it, followed by a bunch of Turkish denialist talking points.
>Pashinian also did not condemn the regime of the so-called Young Turks that ruled the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. He said instead that Ottoman Armenians “became victims of geopolitical intrigues and false promises.”
I’m speechless.
I can’t believe how tone deaf this guy is. His comments sound like a copy and paste of the statements Erdogan has been making over the last few days.

Did he really say that, or is this just another sensationalist headline/article?

We will move on when Turkey acknowledges it. Until then fuck off
This is the first time im genuinely shocked that this guy is still in power.

Many Armenians are completely unable to operate rationally when the issue of the genocide is raised. In this sense, we have to overcome the trauma.
If you want justice for the genocide, you need an Armenia with money and arms, because that is what allows you to gain leverage in international matters. All this fetishistic agonising about the genocide, as though the world cares, is getting us nowhere.
So, we need to be able to drop and revive the issue of the genocide as it suits our purposes. One day we are ready to get over it, when we’re weak, the next day, when we have more leverage, we remember the genocide.
Honestly, the biggest impediment in Armenian domestic and international politics is that Armenians’ first response to problems is to shout at them in a fit of righteous indignation. No one gives a fuck about our righteous indignation.

This is absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. This man spits in the face of all the victims by regurgitating these words straight out of Erdogans mouth.
