Comments on: More Swastikas in Yerevan http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/11/14/more-swastikas-in-yerevan/ Journalism and Photography from Armenia and the Surrounding Region Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:50:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=1.5.1-alpha by: Myrthe http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/11/14/more-swastikas-in-yerevan/#comment-2665 Wed, 15 Nov 2006 22:59:36 +0000 http://oneworld.blogsome.com/2006/11/14/more-swastikas-in-yerevan/#comment-2665 Re Zarchka's comment (the first one in this thread): I visited friends outside of Yerevan today and it turns out that this boy is from their village or the one next to it (at least I assume it's the same 15-year old having been murdered). Needless to say, this boy's murder is the talk of the village(s). The boy will be buried here, but there are rumors that the parents are having trouble traveling to Armenia (or leaving Russia - wasn't able to find out which of the two) because their papers are not in order. They might not even be able to attend their son's funeral. No matter what is true and what is rumor, fact is this murder should never have happened.

Can we atleast beat them then? Just an itty bitty bit? No? Fiiiiine. I guess we'll just have to ban the import of all paint to Armenia. Yes of course I was kidding... 8) What do you mean we shouldn’t kill them? Can we atleast beat them then? Just an itty bitty bit? No? Fiiiiine.

Then again, I guess your comment in response wasn't serious either. ;-) Hi Myrthe, I don’t think Esoteric was serious about shooting the guys responsible.

Let's not lower ourselves to their level.. By the way, Esoteric, no matter how low painting swastika’s is, I think shooting the idiots is at least equally low.

Today, as I went home from work, I noticed another one that I am pretty sure wasn't there yesterday.

I can give you a weak example of what I mean just off the top of my head; take a black spray paint, not that there is anything wrong with a swastika in it's original sense, and turn it into a equidistant cross, then turn the sentence into , no Arabs shall be persecuted on Armenian lands. Or you can just wait near potential spots and then shoot the freak who does it.

A 15 years old Armenian guy was severely killed and a scarf with swastika was rounded over his neck. Who will stop this ha???
