Biden's attitude is simple crusader solidarity

US President Joe Biden, let us admit, did what earlier US presidents had brought themselves to the threshold of but did not do. Just as his predecessor Trump made a threshold-crossing attempt on Jerusalem, Biden made one on the Armenian question by using the word "genocide."
By doing what he did, Trump had thoroughly exposed the Zionist essence of the US.
Biden, for his part, without looking at his own past and present full of genocides, massacres, inhuman colonial occupations and tortures, exposed the Crusader essence underlying the US through the way he involved himself in an event of 106 years ago. These were not things we did not know, of course. The US brings out its quality as a Zionist-Crusader state more with each passing day. On the one hand this gives the picture that it is in decline. Its giving order to the world as the world's superpower has not given it a virtue that attends to justice among all the peoples of the world. For the US, by its founding and by its present existence, does not proceed from this virtue.
To get out, by a political decision, of a situation about which even historians cannot easily find their way as to what happened 106 years ago, one only needs to have made a one-sided ideological-religious decision. And this decision has no value at all in the eyes of justice.
Biden's saying that he used this expression in his speech text "not to blame Turkey but only so that such events never happen again" is outright hypocrisy. The US, with its practices even today, causes many times more than the tragedies attributed to the events of 1915, even if these are accepted as true. Had they had even an atom of sincerity in such a sensitivity, what has happened in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, and now in Kashmir and Myanmar would not have happened. In Iraq, far more than those alleged to have been massacred in 1915 were massacred and subjected to torture with the most severe, most savage feelings, without any just cause. What happened in Iraqi prisons is not a subject of history but a subject of today, flagrant cases. The US's debt of apology to the world will never end, on account of its soldiers caught with crimes against humanity committed at the lowest level to which a human being can sink. Today, because of the chaos into which it has dragged the Middle East, deaths, massacres, tortures, and all kinds of inhuman practices have become the routine of Muslim peoples.
The conscience that the US and all the genocide merchants make by going back to 1915 is merely a product of grudge and revenge.
We said it before, let me repeat: In fact, behind the Armenian genocide claims lies an unachieved "genocide of Anatolian Muslims" that remained a grudge in their hearts. This possibility is not at all a possibility fabricated hypothetically from today. It may be enough, even more than enough, to remember that all the Ottoman statesmen who put the deportation plan into effect in 1915 or who bore state responsibility in those days were all found in a mind-boggling manhunt by the Armenian Dashnak organization and shot dead by assassination. Talat Pasha, Enver Pasha, Said Halim Pasha, the Governor of Trabzon Cemal Azmi, the director of the "Teşkilât-ı Mahsusa" Bahattin Şakir, as well as the former Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Fatali Khan Khoyski, the former Minister of Justice Khalil Bey Khasmammadov, and even many Armenians seen as at fault in the Armenian cause and deemed traitors, and many more, were pursued on the basis of this decision and killed one by one.
These assassinations were decided at the 9th congress of the Dashnak organization held in Yerevan in 1919, and were put into systematic practice with a significant budget allocation and a great organization under the name "Operation Nemesis," after the Greek "goddess of vengeance."
This is a striking enough example showing that the deportation measure taken by the Ottomans was not at all unjust. An example confirming that the gangs, who were actively at work and blinded by bloodlust, were attempting a far greater massacre of Muslims. It shows how, even 4 years after 1915, they worked as a professional murder network and of what they were capable. Extremely organized and using large budgets, and receiving international support as well, they carry out such assassinations.
That is, before us there is no people crushed, oppressed and wronged, devastated by the pains of what happened. There is a structure, blinded by grudge, hatred and revenge, that caused the sufferings of those peoples too and afterwards used those sufferings in the most productive way for its own propaganda. Those who write the history of genocide in the diaspora today, who produce tragedies from this history and run about against Turkey, are the members of this revenge organization.
In fact, if a debt is at issue, this debt has been collected many times over, and if revenge, this revenge has been taken many times over by the Armenian organizations: there are, after all, massacres undertaken within the framework of propaganda since the 1870s. There is open collaboration against the Turks in the ranks of the occupation forces. There are those sentenced to death in courts established under the supervision of the British occupation administration. There are diplomats killed by ASALA's assassinations.
Once one takes the goddess of vengeance as one's guide, it becomes inevitable to make revenge a way of life too. A structure that conceives of revenge as a god, whose eyes are thus blinded by the fire of revenge, cannot be satiated. The Armenian cause is a sick blood feud that is never sated with revenge and is fed by the feeling of revenge.
And the last knight of this cause of revenge is Joe Biden. Without regard to having become a foot soldier of such a cause of grudge, hatred and revenge, he did not neglect to say in his speech that he would play a role helping to increase dialogue between Turkey and the Armenians. One who has become a party to the dispute, the hero of that party, and even the cause of the dispute deepening still further, what role of mediator can he possibly be claiming?
