Not So Hilarious Lookalikes – Part III

Posted by Sasuntsi Anarchist on February 27, 2007

The resemblance is uncanny.  But kid yourselves not – HHK is the Armenian Fascist party!  That’s what lays ahead if we don’t shake off the slave-mentality very soon.   If you still have any doubts about the nature of HHK, just read some Garegin Nzhdeh (1886-1955), on whose not simply racist, but Ցեղակրոն ”tseghakron” (race-worship) ”philosophy”, or rater ‘bullshitology’, HHK bases its thinking.  WARNING: Don’t read too much of those texts because it soon generates a strange feeling of nausea.  Yes, Armenians have Charents, Tumanyan, Shaamirian, Nalbandyan, Atabekyan and many other praiseworthy writers.  But we also have our own range of lunatics, like Nzhdeh and Haik Asatrian.  When you read it, Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf“ will appear as a bedtime story.

hmmm… what is better National Socialism or National Oligarchism?  Is there any difference???

    Varouge,
    It’s not about an eagle (Mexico has an eagle too), but about the purposeful resemblance that the HHK is trying to achieve in its symbols and ideology.
    Yes, Hitler took the Nazi swastika from the very ancient symbol that signified Fireworshipers’ (Arians’) belief in the eternal Return and eternal unity between Time and Space. The Nazis took the sign but not its meaning. Now, HHK is adopting and monopolizing that sign (which every Armenian identifies with), but not with its original meaning — no… they’re bringing it in with the concocted Nazi signification about Race-superiority.

    As for the design of the Melkonian Eagle, it was taken not from the Nazi symbology, but from the logo of the Melkonian Cigars, which was taken from ancient Egyptian mythology. Here the eagle was not important – instead, the emphasis is on the Winged being (e.g. Horus and Isis). Ancient Egyptians also put Wings around the Sun disk (the superior knowledge, in the middle of which were the letters ՄԿՀ). Winds in Egyptian mythology signify the divinity and Autonomy of that particular being. I am not sure about divinity, but it was the vision of Autonomy and Self-governance that Melkonian brothers had for the future Melkoniantsi graduates and their communities, who would enter the world equipped and enriched with knowledge and a unique experience. I hope this is a sufficient explanation.

    The Melkonian eagle has nothing in common with Nazi eagle!!!

    The resemblance is stunning.

    I do not think HHK could associate with Nazi. The eagle was taken form “Erkrapa” that use to associate with the party re-build by Vazgen Sargsyan and Nzhdeh’s name (who definitely was not an internationalist :) ) was used to demonstrate that the party has a kind of old history. In reality it’s a party of corrupted bureaucrats that use public service for making money. It’s a party of communist style bureaucracy which have not been changed since Stalin time. Nevertheless … it’s sucks :)

    I agree with David, HHK was a made up party like HJK as there was a political vacuum after 1998. Navasardian’s party was turned to a party of military and later was dominated by all sorts of oligarchs. The names are symbolic and I dont pay attantion to that, as for example it was the Republican with the support of Communists, Anarchists, Socialists who were fighting against Franco in Spanish civil war. Everything gets distorted and I don’t like to see this blog becoming a part in that game.

    Re Nzdeh HHK has nothing to do with him. They just publish his books to show as if they are his successors. I think Nzdeh’s ideas are pretty much outdated and are very similar to Hitler’s idea of purfied aryan nation. It is also pitty to confuse patriotism with Nationalism. I can defend this blog in one aspect for sure that it is a patriotic blog and the ideas brought here propose solutions for people living in Armenia for a better life. And peace is an important factor in establishing it.

    Armenian anarchists…funny. Nzhdeh and Asatryan are heroes of Armenian nation, only jews and zionists insult them.

  13. Hey, cool tips. I’ll buy a bottle of beer to that person from that forum who told me to go to your site :)

    This topic is quite trendy on the Internet at the moment. What do you pay the most attention to while choosing what to write about?
