WE ARE HURTING OURSELVES

It must have been that we are bothered by tranquility so we started a race to damage each other just when we had achieved stability and the economy gotten back on track. When I look at recent events I see how relentlessly we mistreat ourselves. The banners and the slogans during the last week's soccer matches intimidated me. A group called another “Armenians” and the other party replied “PKK, get out.” We are harvesting what we have sown.

Groups who would like to gain prestige and votes by reacting against the “We are all Armenians” slogans have engaged their own supporters. A confusion of concepts has broken loose. Everyone is angry at each other. The allegations have gone as far as calling one another traitors.

Our approach to the subject is so clumsy that if we keep it up, we will end up crashing into a wall.

We are constantly forming cliques.

Nationalists – State-supporters – Seculars – Religionists – Liberals – Kurdists

Everyone is searching for others' weak points. They search for ways to destroy others instead of trying to understand each other. We are witnessing the formation of cliques just like those of the 1970s.

It must have been that we are bothered by tranquility so we started a race to damage each other just when we had achieved stability and the economy gotten back on track. When I look at recent events I see how relentlessly we mistreat ourselves. Moreover we do all of this for our country. But we do not realize how we will tear our country we so dearly defend apart if we continue in this mindset.

Heartbreaking, isn't it?
