Not Only We Are Long-Suffering
When one calls himself a “long-suffering people,” one means first of all that his people differs from the others. I.e. there are peoples on the face of the earth that haven’t suffered, haven’t endured privations and haven’t been deported in the course of their history. According to that logic, there are peoples, the houses of which haven’t been intruded by enemies, their
enemies haven’t killed unarmed people, haven’t raped women, haven’t burned and stolen their property. Has it happened only to Armenians? Is it our national feature? Probably, a slight difference is that not all went through that relatively recently, in the 20th century, and not all killers, burners and rapists so impertinently claim that they and their state haven’t committed any crime against Armenians, as the Turks do, and what is more, they call us, Armenians, the criminals.
