Vardan Petrosyan - Armenians Are Like Chickens, Always Pecking at the Same Scraps

 Well-known Armenian humorist and social commentator Vardan Petrosyan yesterday expressed his view on Armenian-Turkish relations and stated that he was against the opening of the border under any conditions, whether linked to preconditions or not. We will find ourselves in a trap he noted if the border is opened. "When only one of the four doors of my little room is open I can get to thinking how nice it would be for the other three doors to open as well, that with all doors open to the outside things will get better and I’ll become much freer. But when all four open and the room is filled with ferocity and viciousness I want to go back to the way it was before with only the one door opening," Mr. Petrosyan said. Mr. Petrosyan has lived in Paris for many years and he is concerned that the problems created by Muslims there will be repeated here as well. "I cannot stand the fact that the Muslims are destroying Paris and nobody punishes them for their actions. I am terrified that Muslim youth can go around lighting hundreds of cars on fire in downtown Paris and the French walk around cowering with their heads hung low. Will the same happen here as well?" Mr. Petrosyan asked. He said that in his play "Verelk" there is a scene from his childhood about how he would trap chickens in the village. He would place chicken feed on the ground under a basin and wait for a chicken to come by and peck at the bird feed. Then he’d pull the string which would remove the wooden stick and the basin would fall and capture the bird underneath. He likened the behaviour of Armenians to that of chickens always eating the same feed and always making the same mistakes; never learning lessons from the past.
