This week, one of the columns in Israeli Aruts Sheva daily was dedicated to the Artsakh conflict, the fight of Armenians against terrorist groups and Europe’s indifference towards Turkey’s provocative acts. The author of the column, Giulio Meotti is, an Italian journalist with Il Foglio, writes a twice-weekly column for Arutz Sheva.

The Italian journalist emphasizes that while the Armenians are fighting against the Islamist mercenaries sent by Turkey in the Artsakh war, Europe, leaving the Armenians alone, turns a blind eye to Turkey’s provocative and terrorist acts.

“To a West where no one seems to want to fight anymore or care anymore about their own traditions, where they spit on their own history, topple their statues and erase their own culture, where the land no longer sends any echo, the Armenians, small, scattered around the world, forgotten and barricaded, now at war for against the Islamic Ummah led by Turkey, show us a path in which we do not allow ourselves to be overwhelmed,” Giulio Meotti writes.

He writes that “Europe sleeps, comatose”. And it suffers the same blackmail that for years prevented many European parliaments from recognizing the Armenian genocide.

“It is no secret that the target of this monstrous terrorist network is the Armenian people, their towns and villages, their right to live freely. Europe is helpless in the face of Turkish expansionism in Libya, in Syria, against Greece, against migrants and now against Armenia. We are ruled by servants who would be willing to become Gray Wolves for a plate of Turkish peanuts.

Armenians are left alone, very lonely, in this war of Islamist mercenaries and violent regimes, by a pusillanimous Europe tied hand and foot to Turkey,” the Italian journalists writes.

He calls on Western countries to not only follow in the footsteps of Canada, which has suspended the sale of arms to Turkey, but to immediately recognize the Republic of Artsakh as a sovereign country protected by international law.
