Jugha Khachkars gone without a trace...

According to photos and reports from Armenia's foreign ministry - the cemetary in Hin Jugha is now completely wiped clean of any trace of khachkars. It is now a shooting range for soldiers to do target practice. Not to play the part of the perennial victim, but how on earth is Armenia supposed to take the world, international law, etc seriously when it keeps getting trampled by the Turks, Azeris, US State Department, and argueably the Georgians...??? It's very draining and sickening, I'll say that much. That Turkey is fighting it's own victims 90 years later, keeping it's border sealed and still not establishing diplomatic relations FIFTEEN YEARS after Armenia's independence, Azerbaijan still destroying traces of Armenians presence in Nakhichevan, threatening war, refusing to allow self-determination for Armenians who clearly cannot live under their rule ever again, that the USA allows all this crap, and even gives these brats foreign and military aid while preaching democracy and justice, then firing a US Ambassador simply for speaking the "G" word... mind boggling. Just incomprehensible...

My Armenian cousin from Marseille sent me khatchkar related correspondence between the Azeri ambassador to France and my cousin's local congressman. Sometimes the most mysterious arguments are those about precisely the most unmysterious contentions. "There's a mirror on the wall." "No, there's no mirror on the wall!" That there could possibly be any argument is profoundly mysterious. That there is one, fascinating.

The Ambassador tells the congressman there's a propaganda campaign by the local Armenian community who assert the misinformation that there is a desecration of a Djoulfa cemetery in Azerbaijan. But however, it's false and the Djoulfa cemtery doesn't exist.

The congressman replies unsymathetically with a criticism of what he terms a deliberate policy of destruction at the Djoulfa cemetery.

Fascinating. The letters (in French) and my modest translation of parts, are at http://members.dslextreme.com/~dmorgan1/armenia/
