I want to say that it is not Armenian struggle for justice, IT IS A STRUGGLE OF ALL THE HUMANITY. Genocide is against people not a nation. Historical justice demands recognition of what ill-minded and evil turkish leaders did to humanity. They simply opened pandora’s box that is being open every 10 years in different parts of the world, such us Germany, Cambodia, Rwanda, Sudan, Bosnia, etc. Few evil bastards of history cannot kill what differentiates us from animals – JUSTICE!!!!!

You have a good, rational attitude towards what’s going on, and good friends. Best of luck, and be careful as Syria moves into the future – eventually Syria is going to need you, alive and busy!

I see what you mean. However I still think criticism is healthy, but by raising someone’s opinions from comments to a post, at least I make sure others are listening to each other. Thanks for writing, and I hope you contribute soon.

Thank you Seleucid for this great initiative.
My only conceren is that some of your ‘labeled’ interviewees are getting labeled again on your blog by those who leave unnecessary comments. I believe this initiative is directed at uniting us; not opening a new front for conflict.
I hope to see these interviews moving forward to some sort of a debate once you have established a good foundation of healthily different views and a few civilized Syrians who believe in dialogue as a means to end this current crisis.

Thanks Seleucid, you show with the interview of Ali-what that the Syrian youth is articulate, and this was obvious to anyone who follows you on Twitter. I am sad that the spark started from Sweden and the US, because as always with politicians, these people don’t do anything for free, and they want seats in the next cabinet. I hope for you that you will be able to keep it a Syrian issue, solved by Syrians, and that we will see in the coming days some big initiatives. That the so-called Syrian exiles will reject and call to boycott, but they should not be allowed to influence the people inside Syria who for some of them don’t understand the foreign agendas.

I ask the interviewee what people have been labeling him/her lately. And yes, it is meant to be sardonic.

I don’t understand the last line “Syriannews has been labeled ” … etc. Who’s doing the labeling? It seems harsh, or is it meant to be sardonic?

I like your introductory sentence beginning with “Sadly …” I truly hope the Syrian people can move beyond all of those cognitive blocks.

Comment on Interview with a label: Priapus_D by Abu Kareem

Priapus_D seems somewhat schizophrenic in his responses. He thinks that the regime response was “moderate”! Sure if your yardstick is Hama 1982. Yet, answering another question, he calls the regime’s tactics sickening. So which is it Priapus_D?

Have we Middle Easterners been so brutalized by our despots that we accept the killing of some 1500 unarmed citizens as a “moderate response”?

And what’s with the Priapus_D name? Clearly, too much of his energy is being sapped away from the brain to support another oversized organ.
