I have no Armenian, Turk, Kurd or Arab ancestry.

But I have posted a lot of articles here about them over past 5 years. It has been an education.

I do have many friends in the region. And I have learned to trust those who are always truthful with me.

I also have no Armenian, Turkish, Kurdish, or Arab ancestry.

Some of the DNA tests I have taken show a little "Middle Eastern" ancestry but that seems to date back thousands of years, to prehistoric farmers from that area moving into Europe, long before the Armenian or Kurdish languages existed, or before the Arabic language was spoken in what is now Syria and Iraq.

Kazantzakis in one of his books talks about rescuing Greeks who were in danger of being massacred by Kurds (in the 1920s, I think), which just goes to show that no group has a perfectly unblemished record. Simeon and Levi slaughtered the men of Shechem (after they had raped their sister Dinah) and the Israelites never returned the jewelry they "borrowed" from the Egyptians.
