Armenian Links Exchange


HOB

Recommended Posts

What I would like to propose is to organize kind of link exchange between us, like when someone finds any interesting link to Armenian resource in internet he or she shares that with others. So here are some new sites I haven’t seen before:

 

Քնարավան/Qnaravan

 

http://www.knaravan.org/

 

Shahumyan News

 

http://www.mrav.net

 

Nairi Hotel in Stepanakert

Young painters

cool, the director/part-owner of Nairi is an Avstrala-hye fellow from Sydney - he is a champ, I see him quite often as my dad does business with his son. If Im not mistaken, the hotel used to be a school, but was totally renovated and things are going well last I heard, they are going to expand the place if they hanvt done so allready....

Well, well, that's a surprise. Three actual pictures of the destruction at the Djulfa graveyard. The first I've seen. (Go to "Evidence" then "The Border of Iran").

 

Looks like the've been taken from across the Iranian border - has Hawk has found a legitimate use for his monster telephoto lens at last? :)

 

By the way (since words on that site are not exactly thick on the ground :( ) the other evidences are: "archive 1" is old pictures from the Djulfa graveyard, "2" and "3" are of an unfinished school in NK built by the Azeris mostly out of smashed-up Armenian gravestones, "4" are sites now in Turkey.

Yes, seen it. They seem to have rewritten the section on the Djulfa cemetery in the last few months. In the original version the destruction of the cemetary was reported using photos actually taken in the 1980s (showing khatchkars that were probably smashed around the 1900s) that were purporting to show recent destruction.

 

But the uselessly small, low resolution, pictures that are on the site now are just as ineffective. It's all so amateurish done - for example, not a word of what UNESCO have done, or not done, or said, or not said. Where is all the proper documentation. Years pass and nobody seems really interested in actually saving anything or doing anything credible.

PS

For example, a few thugs destroy a few Jewish gravestones in a cemetery in Germany, and Israel and the Jewish lobby (in order to neutralise EU protest against Israeli crimes in Palestine) make it out as a return to anti-Jewish Fascism in Europe. There in Djulfa, and in countless other examples, is a clear demonstration of the essential mentality of the Azeri state yet the Armenian response is so f**ing pathetic.

Don't even think about it. Yes kez der chem nerel, minchev hima jxainatsatsem. :angry: :P

 

Have you donated to "Yerkir" by any chance? It's great that it's a local organization, rather than an American based or Government affiliated.

Well we have no leverage over the Azeris, a country with which we are officially in a state of war. So I wouldn't keep up my hopes very high.

There is no "we" in this sort of incident - it is (or rather should be) an international issue. There are international treaties and norms of behaviour meant to protect the world's cultural artifacts from this sort of behaviour.
