Survival

Nicholas Daniloff makes a statement which has challenged me: “ . . . The world saw more clearly than before that Armenians are deeply emotional and possibly paranoid. Like the Jews, they fear extinction” (“A Shock to the Soviet Foundation; In Armenian Rubble, Moscow’s Ethnic Problems Grow,” Editorial Page, Jan. 28.).

But isn’t that “normal” and shouldn’t anyone become deeply emotional and on guard when their very existence, their identity is at stake? How else could Armenians and Jews have survived despite their tumultuous histories? Why not give credit where credit is due and salute those who survive with style?
