True myths about patriotism of Armenians

08 June 2009 [16:24] - TODAY.AZ
It's amazing, but true. As it turned out, not every Armenian in the world is concerned about the problem of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Or, at least, if this issue is not out of the head of ordinary Armenians, then it is far from being on the first place among the priorities. This can be understood from a variety of Armenian Internet resources.

Let's take, for example, the Armenians living abroad. Their total number is approximately 7 million people. They migrate in search of a better life. They can be understood, especially now that the economy of Armenia is in a very poor condition. American Armenians, for instance, are now more concerned about the crisis, and other problems. Well, they certainly are very sore about the fact that Barack Obama does not recognize "Genocide".

Armenian Coalition of America is immensely proud of the fact that a couple of mayors of American cities has agreed to accept the "Genocide", collects 2-3 million dollars on dubious charity events, and at every step shouts of strength and unity of the Armenian nation. They reached a ridiculous top - they started to agitate "theirs", attack Google for it to remove commercials which allegedly deny the "genocide of Armenians". A senseless act it was ...

Obviously, this does not go beyond furious letters and loud words. And what do the usual, ordinary Armenians do? More talks are about the search of normal work, more profitable sale of property options, various activities, and even beauties, walking on the beach in bikini - on the whole, daily life is in the first place.

All in all, many times there has been a completely normal relationship of those born in Armenia and Azerbaijan in a neutral land. This, of course, provided that the national theme and the theme of conflicts are not addressed ...

Armenians living in America are in fact not interested in elections in Yerevan, or next move of President Sargsyan against Azerbaijan's policy. They are also not much concerned about the fact that Armenia is one of the most corrupt country, or that their homeland does not fall into the list of the most friendly countries. They voice their concerns about Armenia, where the situation is close to crisis, but only in words.

Of course, from time to time, there appear insignificant provocations, frustration, and other small stones, thrown to Azerbaijanis. All is mostly done via the Internet: unfounded statements, pathetic attempts to cause outrage of Azerbaijanis by online encyclopedia Wikipedia, and about the contest "Eurovision-2009", and many other provocations.

Indeed, the two-faced attitude of Armenians to the conflict is understandable, since most people are selfish in nature. And whatever one may say, an individual will not think of policy, if he is jobless with no food to eat. Even if this individual is Armenian.
