Very interesting ! I read twice; thank you.

Merci pour ces 2 poèmes: Nouvel An - par Hovhannes Toumanian . Et par Raphaël Badkanian (Kamar Katiba) Je les traduirai pour l'an prochain !

Je vais bien merci. J'ai eu un petit accident, je suis tombée, je tenais à peine debout. . Maintenant ça va un peu mieux. Je pense à vous tous. Aujourd'hui M. Alaton de Turquie a écrit : "Il faut reconnaître le génocide arménien"; J'ai répondu: https://www.facebook.com/imprescriptible.genocide "La culture est en péril dès que la critique n'est plus librement exercée. Il y a trop de journalistes en prison en Turquie" Bonne fin d'année à tous !

Thank you very much dear Arpa !

I have not seen in the list a poem of Alexander Tsaturian, whose portrait has been painted by Mardiros Sarian. I read that he was a poet and translator. I know only the portrait. thank you

Denial that 1915 killings of Armenians was genocide constitutes freedom of expression: ECHR La Cour europénne des Droits de d’ Homme a estimé mardi que la Suisse avait violé la liberté d’expression de Dogu Perincek en le condamnant pour avoir nié le génocide arménien. Une décision qui pourrait bloquer le prochain texte de loi en France.

Je vous souhaite un excellent séjour en Arménie, où je n'ai jamais eu la chance de me rendre, étant âgé de 87 ans et invalide. Mais j'ai des amis français qui y sont allés, et sont revenus enchantés. Il y a dans notre forum 'arménews.com' des Français d'origine arménienne, comme moi, qui habitent en Arménie. Bonne continuation !

Thank you very much !

Maybe the political aspects of the work had to be censured. What they called in France "communards' is a scornful way to point out the communists.

Thank you very much, it is exactly what i wanted. Tangakin é...

Charents wrote: "The sun will rise like an executioner" in " the wall of the " Communards"

Is there a poem named: "Badqam" ? in armenian from Yeghishe Charents . thank you

Thank you Johannes, I read it and informed the Armenians of France.

Charles Aznavour has never accepted to sing in Turkey, though they have invited him many times, but he would never go.

I have listened Som Sabadell , do you know them ? their music is wonderful !

Thank you Johannes and Arpa for these news about Alep, as I have been very worried for the Armenians of Alep. I read every day the news in French, but now I have the news of Armenians from Alep. My father and his mother brother and sister had found a haver in Alep in 1917 after a long walking. My grandmother had found a job in a spinning mill. That old story has become now a nightmare. I never imagined that.God bless you.

about P.L.U I translated it in French http://www.armenews.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=86665#p86665

Before the invention of turkish alphabet, there were armenian writers who used to write in turkish language with armenian alphabet. I had an uncle whose mother had a Bible in turkish language written in armenian.

in 2012 Armenia has exported a lot of crayfish. France is an importing country.

- - - - - - - - I have found at last the poem of Siamanto in a web site: http://www.armenianpoetry.org/armenian/poetry/huysindj.htm That is the poem that I had translated. Thank you very much dear Arpa !

Sorry, I did not find in the list of Siamanto's poems the one that I wanted to read in armenian: that I translated in French : "Le chemin de l'Espoir" (Houysi djampan) I had it but it is lost. It is a long poem. thank you if you can put it in this forum. Louise

- - - - - - - - - In anyway, It is impossible that Karabagh returns to Azerbaijan, as there is such a hate in the azéri population, there will be murders of Armenians all the time. Who is interested in "peace", England ? USA ? other countries ? There will never be peace, Karabagh must be FREE AND INDEPENDENT ! Louise

For the 21st year of independance of Armenia, I translated to-day in French a great poem of SIAMANTO / THE ROAD TO HOPE ... I'll see if I find it on this forum in armenian.

Thank you very much for the biography of Hyegazoun Kaloustian. I had found it nowhere. I just had one poem from him :" Քարյուղի լամբարը " that I have translated in French, it is a short poem but very humane, I liked it very much. I have no other poems from him. I shall be glad to read another one. Thank you again dear Arpa
