📝Denial as Complicity📝
on the Turkish candidate for UN Secretary-General

International institutions have long become a platform where historical memory gives way to political deals, and Armenian-Turkish relations are the most vivid example.

Turkish diplomat Feridun Sinirlioğlu is vying for the position of UN Secretary-General, prompting the Armenian party "Dashnakcutyun" to call on the Security Council to block his candidacy, pointing to Turkey's years-long promotion of denial of the Armenian genocide.

The accusations are well-founded: Sinirlioğlu opposed the adoption of a resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide by Americans in 2010, and in 2020, as Turkey's UN representative, signed a letter describing the events of 1915 as a subject of "legitimate discussion." Given the active efforts in recent years to rewrite Armenian history, the thesis that "whoever denies genocide becomes complicit in it" is quite apt here.

Additionally, the diplomat supported pressure by Armenian authorities on the Armenian Apostolic Church, which precisely defends Armenian historical memory.

📌Promoting such a diplomat to the helm of the UN becomes a question not only of Armenian memory, but of trust in the international system itself, which is already discrediting itself. Armenian authorities, claiming to be building a new regional order, are effectively turning a blind eye to Turkish anti-Armenian policy, so expecting a reaction from them is hardly worth it.

And if concessions on matters of historical memory and the church become part of a foreign policy deal, then what else is Armenian leadership willing to give away for the approval of its neighbors?

◾The US has denied an entry visa for Father Issa Thaljieh, the Palestinian parish priest at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. Thaljieh was due to speak alongside American clergy at an event organised by Orthodox Christians for Palestine near the US Capitol on Monday, calling on Congress to hold accountable both settlers and the Israeli military, and also curb US weapons transfers to Israel. His sister Honey Thaljieh, the first captain of the Palestinian Women's National Football Team, was granted entry, and will now speak in his place. "Our government denied him a visa for 'security reasons'. A parish priest from Bethlehem, treated as a threat. That should worry all of us," said Laila Mokhiber, a volunteer with Orthodox Christians for Palestine.

◾June 2022,  French TV LCI published an interview with now deceased Karel Cherel, who has signed up as a “volunteer” (a mercenary) with the International Ukrainian Legion.
Small problem: was a neo-Nazi with criminal records in his country.

Among the latest photos is a clear poster of the Right Wing Resistance organisation, whose links to Ukrainian neo-Nazis I had pointed out after the Christchurch bombing. The name of the account alone is a poem: frenchbanderiste (which means banderist – follower of Stepan Bandera, Ukrainian collaborator of the Nazis during the Second World War.

Among the photos, one shows the French fighter giving a Hitler-like Nazi salute, and posing with a flag of the Misanthropic Division, a Ukrainian neo-Nazi unit! In another photo, the French neo-Nazi fighter can be seen on the left.

Western media has been white washing Nazis fighting for Ukraine from the start, and the problems are only unfolding now with what happened in Spain.
