Can we help this man DO WHAT? lol, idiot Help him preserve another pile of stinking rock? Ya thats it. Help him divide the nation yet another way? It is garbage like you that divides, what Mr. Martin is doing brings a nation together. Which diocese does that church profess to be? lol, retard Of all the places, Dhaka? Bangladesh? You need to be shot Of all the places, one of the most godforsaken hostile and rotten lands on this earth? Can we sink lower? What kind of retarded questions are these you are asking? You make no sense. Has he not heard of Bangladesh sector in Yerevan? You make no point here. What is he trying to do? What esthetic and historical value does that church have? OK, there were some Armenians in Bangladesh sometime ago. So what? There are Armenians in Zimbabwe too. Right there you have shown how you have no clue about Armenian history in the region and have displayed how ignorant you truly are. Your comparison is just as retarded as your previous staements. Is it not time to rid ourselves from that centrifugal mode and concentrate on the centripetal? The only thing we need to rid ourselves of is Armenian garbage like you, assuming you are not a hirya and playing hirya net games. Is he trying to maintain tha "Little Armenia" in Bangladesh? How many little Armenias can we have? How about a "big Armenia" for a change? What kind of question is this? What are you doing for our people? You just sit here, feed your face, and type, barup boots, if you have nothing useful to say than keep your filthy mouth shut. Granted, there are "little China-s and Little Italy-s all over the world, but compare the sizes of those to "big China-s" and "big Italys-s". It is one thing to have a "little Armenia" in Glendale, but when Armenian Glendale becomes bigger than Yerevan??? STOP!! Ok ya, you just went off here so I will leave you in your corner to keep uttering useless point. Just keep up the medication. In closing. The hell with all the churches! Let's find another way to promote the nation! Anyone else reading this garbage? As a closing sidenote, "a modern-day fedayee" (the self-description of the originator of the topic) would theoretically reside in Armenia and confront the powerful the corrupt and the inept. Of course he would have a life expectancy measured in weeks if not days. Regardless, that is what such a label would require. I can appreciate what you are saying but, theoretically, is just that, theory. I myself am a practical man and draw my conclusions based on a practical basis. This man to me, is a fedayee. Anything that has to do with the preservation and promotion of our people against the mighty powers that be is a fedayee to me. And for the record, Mr. Martin has been in numerous fights with the muslim pigs who have played cricket and soccer on our holy cemetery. He has fought them all off, and was willing to fight them all to the death, that to me, is a modern day fedayee. Now I will check back in a few days to see if anyone is interested in helping Mr. Martin. I would love to sit here and act tough on the net with the rest of the tits that think that they matter but I need to raise serious capital for Mr. Martin and the church.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asi...sia/2645617.stm I recently met Mr. Martin and our meeting was heartbreaking yet inspirational to say the least. This man is in dire need of money and/or supplies for the upkeep of the church. Mr. Martin has dedicated his life to this church and has been through hell and back in doing so. Now, collectively can we put all political bullshit aside and help this man in anyway? Anyone know of any organizations who are willing to help? Any and all input is appreciated.

http://www.tsn.ca/images/stories/20030810/roddick_73096.jpg Roddick cruises to TMS Canada title Canadian Press 8/10/2003 MONTREAL (CP) - Andy Roddick took another step toward the top of the tennis world so many have predicted for him by winning the $2.45 million US Tennis Masters Canada tournament on Sunday. Roddick, 20, overpowered unseeded David Nalbandian of Argentina 6-1, 6-3 in a rain-soaked final at du Maurier Stadium to claim his first Masters Series title. ``It's my biggest title so far,'' said Roddick after his fourth tournament victory this year. ``Hopefully, it will be a good stepping stone to the (U.S.) Open.'' The sixth-seeded Roddick earned $400,000 to pass the $3 million mark for his career. Nalbandian, 21, won $200,000 and remained without a title on the ATP Tour this year. The start of the match was delayed one hour 35 minutes by heavy rain that drenched the hardcourt at du Maurier Stadium and drove a few fans home. Roddick needed only 56 minutes of playing time to dispatch Nalbandian, breaking his serve twice to take the first set in only 26 minutes. Nalbandian, who gained fame for reaching the Wimbledon final in 2002, had his only service break after losing his own serve to start to the second set. But Roddick broke straight back for a 2-1 lead and led 4-2 when play was stopped for another 58 minutes because of rain. On his return, Roddick broke service to finish the match. ``Andy didn't have to do many things today,'' said Nalbandian, who was disappointed in his sub-par play after a week that included wins over Britain's Tim Henman and eighth-seeded Rainer Schuettler of Germany. ``I couldn't play my game.'' There was little to excite the crowd, particularly after Roddick's thrilling win in a third-set tiebreaker on Saturday over Wimbledon champion Roger Federer of Switzerland in the semifinals. With the win, Roddick moved up to fourth in the world rankings. He also improved to 24-2 since taking on Brad Gilbert as coach in June, including wins at St. Polten, Austria, the Queen's Club in England and at Indianapolis two weeks ago. ``I'm feeling pretty good about my game right now,'' said Roddick. ``But from Day One of the U.S. Open, none of these past few tournaments matter any more. ``So while I'm playing some of the best tennis in the world right now, you have to guard against that. Once the Open starts, no one cares about Montreal any more.'' While Roddick's fortunes are rising, he had plummeting from great heights on his mind after the match. Roddick said he won a bet with Gilbert by winning the event, which means the coach who turned 42 on Saturday will have to join his young protege in a skydiving jump. ``I've been four times already, but now he's got to go with me,'' Roddick said with a mischievous grin. ``He's scared to look off a second floor balcony, so it should be fun. ``He might mess his pants or something. This is going to be good stuff.'' Roddick also won a bet with fitness trainer Cicero Decastro. ``He's had his moustache for 20-something years and after (the semifinals), he had to shave it off,'' Roddick said of Decastro. ``Now he's going to have to shave his head, too. ``We're going to have the Brazilian Mr. Clean look-alike.'' Roddick then turned to the room full of reporters and asked: ``Any of you want to place some bets? I see a lot of hair to be chopped off.'' The big-serving American also beat Nalbandian in their only previous meeting in the Canadian quarter-finals last year in Toronto, where Roddick reached the final but lost to Guillermo Canas, also of Argentina. Nalbandian, ranked No. 21, was attempting to extend Argentina's winning run on the ATP Tour to five weeks, after wins by Mariano Zabaleta at Bastad on July 13 and consecutive wins on clay courts by Guillermo Coria at Stuttgart, Kitzbuhel and Sopot. Nalbandian was also hoping to become the third consecutive unseeded player to win the tournament after Andrei Pavel of Romania in 2001 and Canas last year. The rain capped a wet week that caused delays during the first three days of competition and left an unusual number of empty seats at the normally well-attended event. Tournament director Eugene Lapierre said attendance for the week was 157,398, about 8,000 fewer than turned out for the women's tournament, the Roger's AT&T Cup, last year in Montreal. In the doubles final, the top-seeded team of Mahesh Bhupathi of India and Max Mirnyi of Belarus defeated Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Todd Woodbridge of Australia 6-3, 7-6 (7-4). Woodbridge missed a chance to move into second-place all-time in career doubles titles. With 76 wins, he sits one behind John McEnroe and two behind all-time leader Tom Okker. http://www.tsn.ca/tennis/news_story.asp?id=50183

Calm down Arto! This tread is about Garry Kasparov and I don't give a s... which half of him belongs to Armenians. He is a great man with great vision and obviously good will towards Armenia and Armenians. What would make you think I am not calm? I also have no idea what you're rambling on about, but I will say this: If you are Half Armenian or a quarter or whatever, thats cool. I will look at you as Armenian along with whatever else you are. But what I do find frustrating are Armos that don't care for their people or don't admit that they have Armenian blood in them. We are so few in numbers that everyone counts. That really needs to be stopped, but I guess its easier said than done. am aware that some of the money ended up in Germany and eventually ended up in English banks. But the proprty taken is still in Turkish hands. Why the hell doesn't some Armenian attorney go after that pot of gold, take his fee and return the remainder to the living relatives of those who it rightfully belongs to? Is this why Tony Blair tries to bury the Genocide year after year? Well this is a start: click here

Do you deny that Zionists were responsible for my people's slaughter? Do you deny what Zionists have done and still do to this date to make sure recognition remains a dream?

Inchu esheg? They realize that Zionists were behind the slaughter of our people. Do you understand the difference between Anti-Zionist and Anti-Semetic? Or will you just paint everyone the same with your broad brush? No need to call them eshes.

Over twenty teachers from the Diaspora have gathered in Armenia to undergo training at the Yerevan State Pedagogical University's scientific and educational centre. The training program is the fourth of its kind, Armenpress reported. The opening ceremonies were attended by Armenia's Minister of Education and Science Sergo Yeritsian, rector of Yerevan State University Radik Martirosian, Deputy Chairman of Armenian National Academy of Sciences Vladimir Barkhudarian, and chairman of Writers' Union Levon Ananian. Outlining the role of schools throughout Armenian communities, Yeritsian suggested creating a council of directors from all Diaspora schools to resolve similar problems of schools. Barkhudarian, a lecturer this year, highlighted the importance of the course. Martirosian promised to provide professional support to Diaspora teachers. The attendees will study Armenian language, literature, history, Armenia's geography, the system of ethno-psychology, theology and music. The teachers, many of whom are visiting Armenia for the first time, will visit museums, meet with Armenian writers, artists, scientists, and politicians, and travel to historical sights on weekends. At the end of the courses, the teachers will take an exam and those with the highest scores will be awarded prizes.
