The turkified natives are now discriminating against the real Turks.

The category of “Türk” in this test is Anatolian indigenous, not ethnic Turkic heritage from Central Asia. Their only Turkish ethnic heritage is the Central Asian one. There is merely a linguistic and cultural Turkishness in Anatolia which is based 900 years of an assimilation process.

My great grandparents were there, in Samtskhe-Javakheti & Achara, Georgia, where your savage ancestors were raping boys, cutting off their penises, sticking into their mouths, and leaving their corpses on public roads to warn everyone: this happens if you don’t convert to Islam.

Adorable, but no.
An "Armenian Muslim" is both an oxymoron and a cope.
An Armenian who becomes a Muslim, stops being an Armenian.
These halfwits intentionally omit that within the Ottoman millet system religion was equivalent to ethnicity.
In Ottoman Islam, to become a Muslim was to become a T*rk, there's no syncretism of identities, only deconstruction & absorption.
The Armenian identity at its core is directly tied to Christianity, there's no separation of those basic connotations, which has been proven time and time again.
Ebonics is neither a dialect, nor a language, just another form of speech born out of illiteracy, there's nothing unique about it.
Vast majority Hemshins of T*rkey don't view themselves as Armenians in any capacity, while those in Istanbul refer to themselves simply as "T*rks".
Those who speak of Armenianhood, do so thanks to influence of Armenia (Yerevan and Tiflis Armenians to be precise) on Hemshins in Abkhazia & Russia along with being Christian reverts, or were under influence of secularization when immigrating to Europe/North America (like Erol who lives in Canada).
Nothing managed on their own, no preservation of identity, and thus, animated by inferiority complex, they are pathetically trying to deconstruct the inherent Christian Armenian identity & project "muh musluman ermeni" delusional cope.
Which is both insulting to real Armenians who fought and shed blood to preserve the identity, but is also a pathetic attempt at Stolen Valor, by wretchedly trying to anachronisticaly include themselves in.
Hemshins (of T*rkey) are a failure in terms identity preservation, accompanied with a mongrel tongue.
These people are unable to accept reality, and thus, live in delusions, while at the same time trying to dismantle Armenian identity to include themselves in along with "muh muslum can be ermeni" absurdity.

EXCLUSIVE: El-Sayed backs Armenians, condemns Azerbaijan aid Rogers voted to allow
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed said the Trump administration's "blank check for military aid to Azerbaijan in the face of ongoing atrocities is a blatant violation of international law," in a statement released Sept. 30. He pledged that as senator he would "stand up for the peace, dignity, security, and self-determination of the Armenian people."
His Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, voted for it. In December 2001, then-Rep. Rogers voted for the foreign aid bill that allowed the president to waive the US ban on aid to Azerbaijan. The House passed it 357–66.
That ban, Section 907 of the 1992 FREEDOM Support Act, singled out Azerbaijan as the only former Soviet republic barred from US aid under the law, over its blockades and attacks on Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
Every president since has used the waiver. The aid kept flowing through Azerbaijan's 2023 offensive that forced Armenians out of Nagorno-Karabakh, and the Trump administration renewed it again this month. None of those renewals required a vote in Congress. Ending it would take a new law.
Rogers has not said whether he would vote to end it.
El-Sayed’s list of countries whose militaries he has said the US should not fund extends from Israel, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia to now, Azerbaijan.
His position goes further than some progressives he's often grouped with. When the House voted 405–11 in 2019 to affirm the Armenian Genocide, Michigan's Rashida Tlaib, who has endorsed El-Sayed, voted yes. Ilhan Omar voted present, saying genocide recognition "should not be used as cudgel in a political fight." El-Sayed isn't just recognizing history; he's taking a position on current aid.
El-Sayed is the son of an Egyptian immigrant. During the Armenian Genocide, Arab communities in Syria, Lebanon and Egypt took in survivors, and Armenian communities in those countries trace their roots to that refuge. His statement doesn't invoke that history. HNC12 has asked his campaign whether it shapes his position.
His trajectory suggests he would vote yes on H.R.6840, which would block the waiver until Azerbaijan withdraws from Armenian territory and releases Armenian hostages, & the Armenian Protection Act, which retiring Sen. Gary Peters co-introduced to strip the authority entirely.
The Armenian National Committee of America endorsed El-Sayed alongside his statement, saying Michigan's Armenian community "needs a champion as Sen. Gary Peters retires."
The race stands at 51–44 for El-Sayed over Rogers in a Marist poll of registered voters conducted Sept. 24–27.

The Armenian Genocide is not a prop.
You don’t get to wave 1.5 million dead Armenians as moral cover while your government still treats recognition as a late, transactional card against Turkey. Pressure Ankara. Fine. Don’t use our dead to launder your own record.

Meetings such as this with Armenian spiritual leaders hold special meaning for the Armenian faithful - clergy and laity from across America who remain today deeply alarmed by the Pashinyan government’s caesaropapist attacks on the legacy of apostolic succession, the ecclesiastical autonomy, and the spiritual sovereignty of the Armenian Church - but such gatherings are, of course, no substitute for substantive dialogue at the presidential level with our community’s long-established civic institutions - representing Armenian American voters - regarding core Armenian American foreign policy priorities - among them:
•The lack of US leadership to return Artsakh refugees, secure the release of Armenian hostages, force the withdrawal of Azerbaijani occupiers, and protect Christian holy sites.
•The Administration’s green-lighting of US arms/aid to Azerbaijan (waiver of Section 907), and failure to sanction Azerbaijani war criminals.
•The President’s retreat from US recognition of the Armenian Genocide - a crime officially recognized by the White House, both houses of Congress, all 50 states, and more than a dozen NATO allies.
•On a more recent note - the State Department’s refusal to recall US diplomat Amy Carlon for dancing in ethnically cleansed Shushi - celebrating Azerbaijan’s genocide of its indigenous Armenian population.

1⃣ 6-7 September, Istanbul Pogrom
On the night of September 6, 1955, a series of violent attacks targeted the Greek minority in Istanbul. These attacks resulted in an estimated 11-15 deaths, 300-600 injuries, and the destruction or damage of 4,214 homes, 1,004 shops, 73 churches, two monasteries, a synagogue, 26 schools, and 5,317 other establishments.
In his book, Hayko Bagdat recounts:
“While my parents were waiting anxiously in the apartment of their Turkish neighbors, where they have found refuge the first night, the occupants of the apartment, who had done their best until that point, delivered bad news: ´You have to leave now. We can not protect you anymore, you will get us into trouble, too.´ What is one supposed to feel? What are we supposed to think about them? Should we be grateful to them? Or should we be angry with them? Should we understand them? Believe me, I don’t have the answer.”

Congress banned F-35 sales to Turkey for several reasons: the S-400s, the illegal occupation of Cyprus, and the threats to Greece, to name a few. @POTUS cannot just wave these actions away with a handshake in Ankara.
I am urging @RepJeffries and @SteveScalise to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to prevent this Administration from illegally selling F-35s to Turkey.

BREAKING: Israel FM Gideon Sa’ar has put forward a resolution for the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Israel.
This is an insult to the memory of the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire, to be used as a bargaining chip to ignite the ire of Turkey.
In 2020, during the 44 Day War, Israel, ALONGSIDE Turkey, supplied Azerbaijan with intelligence and cutting-edge weaponry, leading to the killing of 5,000 Armenian soldiers, culminating in the ethnic cleansing of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), and the mass exodus of 150,000 Armenians from their 2,000-year-old homeland.
We will not allow the suffering of our people to be used for political weaponization. You want to recognize the Armenian Genocide? Do it on moral grounds, if you have any left.
