I don’t believe for a moment this is thru, For a very long time Iran has been very tolerant especially to minorities (including Jews), if anything this is just a propaganda stunt. The story is bunch of BS; someone heard from someone in Iran?? if this was thru!? it would have been on evening news on every network and small affiliates. This is just a preparation for brainwash in order to justify invasion

Anahid its not matter of choice or give up the ship, no matter how hard you try you wont have a control over some day your child will grow up and marry an odar, but it does not nasseserely mean he or she will forget the haritage, time does its job, and especialy its thru in USA where assemiliation is very real among Armenians even if we speak of Armenianes among us I hardly see anything Armenian among those who claim so passionatly they have Armenian haritage, from there songs to how they dress, what they eat and how they speak...nothing resembls to what is known Armenian

Group of youngsters are visiting there motherland on there graduation year from Armenian high school in LA Boy and a border guard Guard....anunet incha? Boy....Davit Sahakian (David in English) Guard…..ara du hayeren ches xosum? Boy….xosumem paron Ba xosa…….boy is silent Guard……antsi antsi! After so many sleepless nights Davit is heart broken and his first impression sucks Does that annasun even realize he broke Davits heart? And this is Yerevan international airport, which resembles to a giant toilet I wander, if they can build buildings like those in resembling Manhattan in Yerevan Why does zvartonts looks like shit house? I traveled many countries and first impresssion you get is when you walk into the airport What would it take for those in power finally do something about this, every person I talk to that goes there they all have some complain, simillar story.

realising politicaly Israels stand, depending on Turkey for wather and not recognizing The AG, still does not answer the question why the most powerfull lobby in washington is fighting so strong against the AG bill every time it comes up. for instance, having suffered the same faith as Armenians, jewish lobby simply can stand aside and let chips fall where they may, insthed its a hired gun for turkey, more like a prostitution then anything

Allegations of WWI Genocide Irk Turkey By BENJAMIN HARVEY, Associated Press Writer2 hours, 55 minutes ago Turkey has pulled out of a military exercise in Canada and hinted at economic repercussions against France, stepping up protests of accusations that Turks committed genocide against Armenians during World War I. Ankara this week briefly recalled ambassadors from NATO allies France and Canada to protest the Canadian prime minister's declaration last month that the killings of Armenians constituted genocide, and a French bill that would outlaw denying that Armenians were genocide victims. The ambassadors returned Thursday after four days in Turkey. The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Thursday that it was pulling out of an Air Force training exercise in Canada, to which it had been expected to send officers and several F-16 fighters. "This decision is Turkey's and we would not comment on why they have made this decision," said Pamela Greenwell, a spokeswoman for Canada's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Turkey is an important NATO ally and we hope that they will be able to participate in future exercises." Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday held a private meeting in Ankara with representatives of large French firms with investments in Turkey, where he warned of serious harm to relations if the genocide measure was allowed to pass. Armenians say up to 1.5 million Armenians died or were killed over several years as part of a genocidal campaign to force them out of eastern Turkey. Turkey acknowledges that large numbers of Armenians died, but says the overall figure is inflated and that the deaths occurred in the civil unrest during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey is facing increasing pressure to fully acknowledge the killings, particularly as it seeks membership in the European Union. But many in Turkey feel that, by using the word genocide to describe the killings, other countries put the Ottoman Turks in the same category as Nazi Germans. Turkey has made it government policy to fight genocide assertions with diplomatic and economic sanctions if necessary. But it is unclear how far Turks are willing to go, especially if that could mean harming the bid to join the EU. "Sometimes you talk, then you have to behave according to the way you talk, and you get to a place you never wanted to go in the first place," Ilter Turan, a political scientist at Istanbul Bilgi University, said of whether Turkey would carry through on all of its threats. Stephen Harper recently became the first Canadian prime minister to publicly declare that the Armenian deaths constituted a genocide. He was expressing his support from a House of Commons resolution in 2004 characterizing them as such. Turkey sent a parliamentary delegation to Paris this week and Turkish chambers of commerce sent letters to their counterparts in France pleading for help and warning of a boycott. If passed, the French bill, to be voted on May 18, would make it a crime to deny that Turks committed genocide against Armenians. A similar law forbids the denial of the Jewish Holocaust in World War II. In 2001, Turkey, which has no diplomatic ties with Armenia, canceled millions of dollars worth of defense deals with French companies after lawmakers in France recognized the Armenian killings as genocide. A Turkish court this year dropped charges against the country's best-known novelist, Orhan Pamuk, who went on trial for "insulting Turkishness" after he said Turks have killed more than a million Armenians and more than 30,000 Kurds. He could have faced up to three years in prison. The United States, which has a large Armenian diaspora community, has not declared the killings a genocide.

Mica, Hrach is comming to Armenia next week, my son, take care of each other and have a good times pal

aldough Armenian can advance in many areas i have to agree IT sector is the most promesing, during soviet times Armenia was, and still is on some respect "silicon vallaey" of union, most sensitive computers and cheeps were made in Armenia and now among former republics Armenia has the highest IT engineers with limited natural resources Armenia should explore its strongest asset did you know there were more collage graduates in Armenia then any other sovit rebublics ( per capita)?

All evidence to contrary! taking account of more them 3000 years of history this nation still is vibrant and has a great future! thus rigidity of Armenians norms sustained the Nation, nothing wrong to marry odar, what’s wrong is not realizing subject matter is all are born from life experience and sometimes it turns into hate and animosity into your own kind, i have seen odars more Armenian then some of the armenians who claim to be one

Happy b-day Anahid Taguhi, amenayn bariq!

System of a Down, whose members are Armenian American, steps up its campaign. By Nick Timiraos, Times Staff Writer April 28, 2006 WASHINGTON — System of a Down lead singer Serj Tankian and drummer John Dolmayan sit on a black leather couch, signing autographs, chatting about their favorite local venues and waiting to take the stage. But this isn't their ordinary tour — it's no Roxy, Astoria or House of Blues. Their fans here are congressional staffers, who ask the rockers to autograph copies of a political magazine while waiting for a congressman to arrive for a political strategy meeting. The L.A.-based alternative-metal band spent the week in Washington to lobby for congressional recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1915 to 1918, in which an estimated 1.2 million Armenians died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, which became the modern republic of Turkey. The Turkish government disputes that a genocide took place. The band members, who all are Armenian American, each had grandparents who survived the genocide and have adopted the cause of winning worldwide recognition and acknowledgment from Turkey. "My grandfather's 96, and I know he's not going to be around forever," Tankian said at a meeting with Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank) on Tuesday. "I'd like to be the one to say to him that Americans have recognized the genocide." Musicians often express themselves politically in their songs, and have made frequent appearances at rallies and on Capitol Hill. But most of their direct lobbying efforts here tend to focus more on the music business itself — calling for an end to illegal music downloading, for example. Fewer get actively involved in the political process, as has the successful California group which has won a Grammy and is playing to ever larger audiences worldwide. In the hurried marble corridors of Capitol Hill, the band members offered a marked contrast. Dolmayan's mohawk haircut topped his sweater and jeans, while Tankian wore a blazer to go with long curls and goatee. "I'm usually a little more comfortable behind the drum set," a somewhat sheepish Dolmayan said at a Capitol Hill gathering Wednesday as he reached for a microphone and surveyed his unfamiliar surroundings. The rock band's Washington tour included an annual Capitol Hill observance of the genocide and a protest at the Turkish Embassy on Monday that organizers say drew more than 700. The band was presented with the Voice of Justice Award by the Armenian National Committee, an Armenian political group, on Wednesday. A day earlier, the band attended a screening of "Screamers," a new documentary detailing System of a Down's campaign for genocide recognition. Relaxed and laid back, they met Tuesday with sponsors of two resolutions that would officially recognize the genocide, Schiff and Rep. George P. Radanovich (R-Mariposa), and other lawmakers. Though both resolutions received broad support in the House International Relations Committee, they face an uphill battle. Congressional leaders, following appeals from the White House, do not want to pass the resolutions because they would upset Turkey. The Turkish government insists that the deaths resulted from ethnic insurrection and wartime clashes with Turks. "Armenian allegations of genocide have never been historically or legally substantiated," Turkish Ambassador Nabi Sensoy said in a statement in response to a PBS documentary aired last week. Schiff remains optimistic that this year supporters will win the right to a floor vote. "With System of a Down coming, with the pressure around the country on the speaker [of the House] ... we've never had this kind of strong support," says Schiff, whose district includes Glendale, a city of 210,000 that is 40% Armenian American. The issue is prominent in System of a Down's performances. The band has played an annual "Souls" benefit concert since 2000 to benefit genocide recognition efforts. They've also talked about the genocide at their concerts and in song lyrics. "P.L.U.C.K." ("Politically Lying, Unholy, Cowardly Killers,") from their 1998 debut album, addresses "whole race genocide." It's not the only political issue the band takes on. They won this year's Grammy for best hard rock performance of their song, "B.Y.O.B." ("Bring Your Own Bombs"), which asks: "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" System of a Down formed in Hollywood in 1995 and released its first album in 1998. Its second album, Toxicity, debuted at the top of American and Canadian charts in 2001. It has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide. For Dolmayan, it's not a question of if the resolution will pass, but when. He said the resolution was more than a symbolic act, and would protect the right to teach the Armenian genocide in schools. "It forces Turkey's hand, and that's very important," he said. "If America doesn't recognize it, how can we expect it from Turkey?"
