Today's Zaman: Armenia’s oligarchy in trouble

My comment regarding: Armenia’s oligarchy in trouble

David Davidian • a few seconds ago Hold on, this is waiting to be approved by Today's Zaman.

Everything is relative -- Armenia has its oligarchs and Turkey its megalomaniacs. The level of corruption in Turkey's construction industry alone makes Erdoğan's thousand room palace look inconsequential.

Вестник Кавказа: Спорный геноцид. Армяне в Османской империи в XIX веке Vestnik Kavkaza: A Disputed Genocide. Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during the Nineteenth Century

I tried commenting on A Disputed Genocide. Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during the Nineteenth Century as posted on Vestnik Kavkaza. I discovered that the Azerbaijani-centric Vestnik Kavkaza, purposely pushes comments on "selected topics" to a totally different article in a different section. Since off-topic, it would never be approved. In my case it was to be posted under Iranian business enters Turkmenistan. What a nice trick. So, I have posted my comment here:

Vestnik Kavkaza is providing a disservice to its readership by blindly posting chapters from a known genocide denier, Guenter Lewy. Clearly, the choice of posting his work was not random as his text also appears on the Foreign Ministry of Turkey's web site

Lewy also claims Native Americans were not subject to genocide and would have us believe the only real genocide was the Holocaust.

We must conclude that Vestnik Kavkaza is not interested in the objectivity of the articles on its site.

Times of Israel: A Day When Peace Was Born

My comment regarding an article in the Times of Israel, A Day When Peace Was Born:

It is indeed sad how with Azerbaijan being Israel's largest oil supplier and Israel Azerbaijan's second largest arms supplier -- arms that will be used to kill Armenians, again – how politics trumps any regard for the truth and context. So, would a somber tribute to the massacre in Deir Yassin also be appropriate?
