Unfotunately we are only able to excavate sites in the ROA. Much of our history lies under the soil in the Republic of Turkey. A few years ago the Turkish military was sent to the site of Tigranakert, east of Diarbekir, to obliterate all the archaelogical remains there. I wonder what the Turkish government were so petrified of?

I added an inappropriate comment about Jermuk. Then I felt ashamed of myself. I couldn't erase it completely, so I put in a term that I learned from the Mexicanos when I lived in the US southwest.

Thank you ArmoArmeN, You see, it is all Turkish BS. Gates didn't sign any letter. They want us to do drastic things to destroy our chances.

Since when should anyone believe anything that is published in the Turkish press? It may be that Lantos is humoring them. He knows that he will be quickly overruled by the Speaker, so he can gain cover by humoring the Turks, saying that he "will try" to stop the resolution. hat thes Turkish press is trying to do with Armenians is the same thing that Ariel Sharon did with the Palestinians when he walked at the grounds of the Mosque/Temple Mount in Jeusalem. Get some hotheaded Armenians to do something rash to destroy their credibiltyand chances for passage of the bill. Don't go for the Turk's bait like a stupid fish.

Ara, We know that Turks are primarily mongrelized Armenians. How much Turkish blood flows in the veins of Armenians? To what extent have we fornicated with Turks over our 1,000 year association? How much Turkish blood has been mixed into the Armenian genepool?

Kirk Kerkorian, one of the greatest of Armenia's benefactors is a Catholic, as is the only US Congressperson of Armenian descent, Anna Eshoo. George Deukmejian is a Protestant. Gregory Peck's elusive grandfather was a Armenian Catholic from England. Anglicanism is only one of the established sects in England. This is not a positive development for Armenia vis-a-vis its diplomatic relations with the West.

It is the traditional Armenians tied to the bosom of their church who are making me nuts. The Pope makes pronouncements about morality while his Church is rife with immorality. The Catholicos walks next to the Pope on most doctrinal matters.

Get lost Turk boys! I know that you are lurking in this Forum desperately looking to unveil something to save yourselves at your darkest hour.

Turks and Azeris are also "fudging" every Armenian-related site on Wikipedia. Distortion after distortion. They are even distoring biographical information about Ottoman Armenians. They are in a siege mentality. Judgement day is upon them. They are scared to death.

MEKH. He must have been at his wits end.

When I brought this fact out about Princess Diana years ago in this Forum, Mosjan, some of the "golden ones" in this Forum implied that I was deranged. Ditto when I claimed that the woman for whom the Taj Mahal was built was an Armenian. Both turned out to be true.

You are doing OK. Your posts re informative. You may not be as intelligent as Arpa, but you are also not as hysterically opinionated as he is.

You can scratch Tom Lantos off that anti-Armenian list. I don't think that he will recitivate. His neighbor Pelosi is the boss. Peres is 84 years old. How much longer can he make trouble for us?

THis guy is so brainwashed that he doesn't realize that he is setting his own trap!

If Hayvanoglu and the Turkish journalists who write these things worked as scriptwriters in Hollywood, they would become world reknown. Their imaginations are amazing!

Thank you Zartonk, the voice of wisdom. Why do we allow these Turks to push our buttons!

A large part of what is passed off as "news" in the Turkish media is filled with half-truths and distortions. The facts always seem to always have been passed through a Turkish prism.

Arpa, Now in 2007 I UNDERSTAND who you are. You remind me of my former inlaws,.... er no. You remind me of my former mother-in-law, another member of Beirut's so-called First Armenian Families. The level of your hysteria on the issues even surpasses hers. Me, a confirmed liberal - she, a confirmed conservative. Both of us Armenians, but coming from opposite world views.

One article had to do with the charging of Turkish journalist Engin. I am still searching for the second article that I had recently posted. If you don't read any of my posts, of course you would post the articles again.

ArmoArmeN states: "I need an answer from you." Who the F**K do you think you are Tigran Metz? or President Kocharian? you young hooligan punk.

ARA B.! ARA B.! ARA B.! ARA B.! ARA B.! ARA B.!

I wonder which one of these my aunt belonged to before she married my Hye Catholic uncle.

The sprit of the image of the lovely woman that you all worship is NOT the mother of Christ, but his WIFE you fools! Since they were both named Mariam, Saul of Tarsus and Constantine were able to fool everyone so that they could PAGANIZE our religion.

Time Magazine February 23, 2007 6:55 Jesus: Tales from the Crypt Brace yourself. James Cameron, the man who brought you 'The Titanic' is back with another blockbuster. This time, the ship he's sinking is Christianity. In a new documentary, Producer Cameron and his director, Simcha Jacobovici, make the starting claim that Jesus wasn't resurrected --the cornerstone of Christian faith-- and that his burial cave was discovered near Jerusalem. And, get this, Jesus sired a son with Mary Magdelene. No, it's not a re-make of "The Da Vinci Codes'. It's supposed to be true. Let's go back 27 years, when Israeli construction workers were gouging out the foundations for a new building in the industrial park in the Talpiyot, a Jerusalem suburb. of Jerusalem. The earth gave way, revealing a 2,000 year old cave with 10 stone caskets. Archologists were summoned, and the stone caskets carted away for examination. It took 20 years for experts to decipher the names on the ten tombs. They were: Jesua, son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Mathew, Jofa and Judah, son of Jesua. Israel's prominent archeologist Professor Amos Kloner didn't associate the crypt with the New Testament Jesus. His father, after all, was a humble carpenter who couldn't afford a luxury crypt for his family. And all were common Jewish names. There was also this little inconvenience that a few miles away, in the old city of Jerusalem, Christians for centuries had been worshipping the empty tomb of Christ at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Christ's resurrection, after all, is the main foundation of the faith, proof that a boy born to a carpenter's wife in a manger is the Son of God. But film-makers Cameron and Jacobovici claim to have amassed evidence through DNA tests, archeological evidence and Biblical studies, that the 10 coffins belong to Jesus and his family. Ever the showman, (Why does this remind me of the impresario in another movie,"King Kong", whose hubris blinds him to the dangers of an angry and very large ape?) Cameron is holding a New York press conference on Monday at which he will reveal three coffins, supposedly those of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene. News about the film, which will be shown soon on Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canada's Vision, and Israel's Channel 8, has been a hot blog topic in the Middle East (check out a personal favorite: Israelity Bites) Here in the Holy Land, Biblical Archeology is a dangerous profession. This 90-minute documentary is bound to outrage Christians and stir up a titanic debate between believers and skeptics. Stay tuned. --Tim McGirk/Jerusalem
