Armenian FM vs Israel

He is an old fool. Albeit, age can’t be blamed here. (Mikhail Zhvanetsky)

Hope no one will argue that Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is a unique personality. Albeit, no, not in such a way. Nalbandian is one of the most unique individuals in this unique Armenian government. Yes, exactly.  It will be more correct.

It is he, together with Armenian Serzh Sargsyan and Defense Minister Seiran Ohanian, who form a triumvirate of "genius" leadership of the neighboring country, about which one might as well write books that surely will be claiming to become bestsellers. Even, I can recommend a title for the book-‘How not to run the country”’. Think it suits. It’s simple. But most importantly, accurately reflects the meaning of possibly once written books.

Reacting to the neighboring state’s policy seriously is the same as disrespecting yourself. Thus, if you react to it, then surely with a smile and for fun.

Well, then. Recently, Edward Nalbandian criticized his Israeli counterpart Avigdor Lieberman, as he spoke out against the adoption of not only the law criminalizing denial of the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’, but also against the law on allegedly occurred ‘genocide’. He urged the Israeli deputies not to follow the example of the French colleagues, but think clearly and carefully.

Of course, Avigdor Lieberman’s logical and just reasoning dissatisfied Nalbandian, who began to bring demagogic arguments on the terms ‘genocide’ and ‘Holocaust’.

 Without giving any clear reasons (as always) in favor of that the ‘Armenian genocide’ tough took place in the Ottoman Empire, Nalbandian, swaggering in front of the Armenian deputies, was trying, in a clumsy way, to explain why Lieberman was wrong.

Familiarizing with Nalbandian’s speech, the first question that begs itself relates to the minister’s nourishment. More precisely, possible medicaments or illicit drugs, which he likely uses. Otherwise, how can one explain the fact that toothless and completely characterless Armenia, which cannot survive as an independent state even a day without its patrons, begins to teach the Israeli state and specify how to conduct its internal and foreign policy, which laws to adopt and which not?
 
It’ll be not a surprise if it turns out that the French Senate’s decision to criminalize denial of the "Armenian genocide" turned head of Nalbandian, his colleagues and bosses, and now they think they have the right to teach and indicate to other states. Oh, and to which! 

But, there is no real reason for this. Think, the vast majority of the Armenian citizens are well aware that French President Nicolas Sarkozy absolutely does not care about historical events, concepts such as ‘fairness’ and their life today. Sarkozy is concerned over only two factors - the re-election to a second term, and unfounded fears to see Turkey in the European Union.
 
Finally, the adoption of the aforementioned law brings Armenia and its citizens absolutely no practical use, but only complicates their already difficult lives.

Surely, the citizens of neighboring state will soon ‘get down’ to earth the country’s rulers, who had better not to act against the country, but for the sake of it. Armenia will soon go to elections, but dissatisfaction with the domestic and foreign policy of the authorities is growing every day. And the Armenian people will pay back to Nalbandian and those like him for the adoption of the French law. But, it’s unlikely to satisfy Nalbandian …
