- More ridicule; I take it? If skill could be gained by watching, every
- ASALA/SDPA/ARF criminal/Nazi would become a butcher, "perlmanian".
- As early as 1934, K. S. Papazian asserted in 'Patriotism Perverted'
- that the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF)
-
- 'leans toward Fascism and Hitlerism.'[1]
-
- At that time, he could not have foreseen that the Armenians would
- actively assume a pro-German stance and even collaborate in World
- War II. His book was dealing with the Armenian genocide of Turkish
- population of eastern Anatolia. However, extreme rightwing ideological
- tendencies could be observed within the Dashnagtzoutune long before
- the outbreak of the Second World War.

- In 1936, for example, O. Zarmooni of the 'Tzeghagrons' was quoted
- in the 'Hairenik Weekly:'
-
- "The race is force: it is treasure. If we follow history we shall
- see that races, due to their innate force, have created the nations
- and these have been secure only insofar as they have reverted to
- the race after becoming a nation. Today Germany and Italy are
- strong because as nations they live and breath in terms of race.
- On the other hand, Russia is comparatively weak because she is
- bereft of social sanctities."[2]
