We were not ready for the war, noone expected the occupation of our lands. When we happily lived together, were sharing bread with our armenian neighbours in Baku and Sumgait, visit each others weddings, the armenian diaspora were handing out leaflets in Armenia about their historical lands, kept their hatred to turks alive, Karabakh government representatives secretly meeting with the members f armenian diaspora in Yerevan and having talks about the unufication. We were not ready ideologically. WE still were talking about friendship between armenian and azeri on TV, organizing music concert of azeri- armenian music when first disturbances started. How naiive we were.. WE should have awaken much earlier, then wouldnt have had 20% of our land occupied and thousands of innocent people brutally killed.
This is disturbingly similar to what happened in Turkey and Azeri Turk lands, all the Turks I know even my family tell me we were always friendly with Armenians, lived together, eat from the same table even were so tolerant they wud join in each others religous celebrations WHERE DID IT ALL GO???
Even in our families area in Turkey we have to this day ARMENIAN NEIGHBOURS, I was always friends with their son Agop and his little brother I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THERE WERE ANY TENSIONS BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS, AGOP IS MY FRIEND I NEVER EVER EVER THOUHT ANYTHING BAD ABOUT HIM NEITHER DID HIS FAMILY OR OURS IN THE EARTHQUAKE CAN YOU BELIEVE OUR TWO FAMILIES HELPED EACH OTHER AND WE SAVED THEIR OLD MAN FROM A COLLAPSING HOUSE.
I GREW UP WITHOUT HATRED OR EVEN KNOWLEDGE OF ANYTHING THAT WAS WRONG BETWEEN OUR PEOPLE, THEY STILL LIVE IN TURKEY, THEY STILL HAVE THEIR CHURCHES AND PRAY THERE AND TEACH THEIR LANGUAGE AND HAVE BUSINESS ETC
WHAT ABOUT IN ARMENIA?????????????????????????????????????
WHY IS IT NOT THE SAME?????????????????????????????????????/
These DISGUSTING, FACIST, RACIST DASHNEKS polluting Armenians minds with ethnically cleansing the land for a Greater Armenia are responsible for this.
They have caused for their people to commit treacherous crimes against Turkey and Azeri Turks its the same in each case, as they say the Nice Guy looses, we were always tolerant to Armenians and they always well in the last 100 years tried to massacre us and backstab us.
THIS IS THE REALITY.
