Wow! Yes, he is Elif Safak's husband!

I am very optimistic. This did not happen by chance. I had my hand in this. It has been a long hard road to get to where we are today. It required shaking up the earlier Armenian belief system.

All the hallmarks of DESPERATION! They are pulling out all the stops. They are just miserable that Congressman Tom Lantos and other Jews are no longer their fifth column since Mein Kampf is now a best-seller in Turkey and they finked out in 2003 when they didn't allow American troops to use Turkey as a conduit for the Iraq War. They will threaten and threaten as well. As long as they can inflame Jews against Armenians using such bogus information, they will continue to do so. Every trick in the book they are going to try to use.

At least one Turkish journalist sees things somewhat clearly. Yet, they are sabre-rattling, bluffing. Turkey can ill-afford broadening their rift with the US. How many allies do they have among the world's superpowers? They have been playing this "chess game" for decades. Hopefully this year we will "check mate." them. As for Bush and his administration, they will either be reduced to a totally paper tiger with no power or Bush-Cheney will be removed from office. It is only a matter of time before the "Pandora's box" is opened by the Congressman who holds the seat for Little Armenia. Evey Armenian there should "hug" that Jewish representative.

Ha Ha Ha! It is from an Azeri news source! I should have known. If the Azeri army is as bumbling, it is no wonder we won the Artsakh war hands down. Azeri soldiers are very competent only when the kill Armenian military personnel who are asleep!

You mean the guy descended from the Han Dynasty Emperors of China who emanated from the Chinese province of Taron and named the province where all the Chinese allies of Mamik and Kon landed in Armenia as TARON province (nor Taron to these Chinese ancestors of Vartan). Oh how I love making money for the pharmacies selling anti-acid tablets in the Albany, New York region!!

FANTASTIC!

Get Real! The Turks are there to stay. Why does a Romanian come here and stir the pot? I don't care about Istanbul, but about the well-being of the ROA and redressing the cataclysms for Armenians in Eastern Anatolia (Historic Armenia).

In 1914 it was just that, a "Garden of Eden" feeding hundreds of thousands of Turks, Greeks Jews, Assyrians and Armenians. Today it is a desert, with dust blowing around. A documented reality, not a dream.

Hey Zurderer, You Turks took my great-grandfather's vast "Garden of Eden" and turned it into its present state, a wasteland. Now who are the idiots? Do you really think that the Central Asians want you guys as their overlords? Think again!

Edward, Do you mean that you are going to take my exhaulted position away from me and give it to this Turk?

Hey Zurderer, The men of my family were Ottomans also, and had Turkish names not Armenian names. They were Catholic however. They were still they killed in 1915?

There is proof that Mimar Sinan (AKA Hovsep) was in contact with his Armenian family in a small village outside of Kayseri long after he was Ottomanized. He was able to convince the Sultan not to transfer his Armenian family members to Cyprus with the rest of the Armenians scheduled to be transferred. The names of these persons are Armenian and not Greek names per an article in the Royal Asiatic Society Journal of Britain & Ireland, dated 1937, which is based upon research in the Ottoman Archives

Blair will soon be gone from his post and 2007 will be a VERY bad year for Bush. Me, the Hye Forum village idiot, predicted a few years ago that he would be removed from office. When the investigations begin this Thursday there will be no stopping it, even if the Democratic leadership tries very hard not to let the process begin. When the American public learns the depth of the corruption of this administration, the Democratic leadership will be hounded by the American public to send Bush to a well-deserved early retirement in Crawford, Texas. Remember the nice Turkish lady who revealed that Hastert was being bribed by the Turkish government? Only the tip of the ICEBERG!

OOPS! Turkey's well-crafted public relations campaign is failing to conceal the true face of Turkey as is related to its minorities, just like when the true face of the Phantom of the Opera was revealed.

January 2, 1999 is the natal date? Much has been discussed here-a way to tie together the world Armenian community. Are we the most dispersed nationality on earth?

Verginne, Although I don't like the tone of your comment, I believe that you are 100% CORRECT. My hunch is also that this Thibaux is of the extraction that you allude to. You see, since I have an odar surname and not an Armenian one, I am more attuned to recognizing Jews who have surnames and identities that one would not suspect for a person of Jewish background. I remember being surprised that the blond Anglo-Saxon appearing fresman college roomate who was assigned to me was a Reform Jew. He had a very Anglo-Saxon surname. For some Jews the Armenian Genocide is an affront. They seem to view it as somehow diminishing their Holocaust. Clearly the views of a sick mind, diminishing one genocide to obstensibly elevate another.

I may stick around for awhile to preclude Verginne from turning this Forum into a Jew-bashing forum. She is speaking about of close members of my family when she paints all Jews with one brush.

Every whore has their price!!! My late father used to tell a story about a beautiful woman who was propositioned by one of a group of friends of differing economic levels, one a small shopkeeper, another university professor and the third a tycoon. They were long-time childhood friends. First the shopkeeper propositioned her. He tried to lure her to a private picnic in the campgrounds, alluding that the meeting may proceed to sexual affairs. He even stated that he would buy her an expensive gift worth $1,000. She replied angrily to him "What do you think I am??" Next the university professor, who she did not know was friends with the small businessman, offered to take her on an all-expenses trip to numerous European cities, and also alluded that the relationship may lead to sexual relations. She replied to him "What do you think I am?? A few weeks after this incident, the tycoon approached this beautiful woman and offered to take her on his yacht, wine and dine her, offered to give her a huge diamond friendship ring and one of his villas. There were allusions to potential sexual relations with the tycoon. She gladly accepted the offer. Moral to the story: The answer to "What do you think I am??" was established. The only variable was price. THIS THIBAUX IS JUST AN EXPENSIVE WHORE!!!!!!

This is just what I, the Hye Forum village idiot, was pushing six years ago - cultural tourism. I was laughed at here numerous times. My mother once told a group of Armenian friends during the 1940's that she wanted to mass produce madzoon for the American market. Her so-called friends laughed at her, stating "Amerikatzinereh tzer madzooneh bede ouden? Ha Ha Ha." Within ten years Dannon was making millions as was Colombosian.

Anahid, Verginne has an ax to grind. She/he is not telling the whole story. I know EVERY one of these names Stanford Shaw was a Turkified former colleague of Dr. Hovanissian and other Armenian scholars Bernard Lewis is a Emeritus Princeton Professor Bruce Fein is an attorney in the employ of the Turkish government Shimon Peres is a former Israeli Prime Minister Rivka Cohen is or was the Israeli Ambassador to Armenia Cheryl Kagan is a member of the Maryland state legislator opposed to the Armenian cause Bruce Ramer is former head of the American Jewish Committee For each one of these there are five Jews who support our cause. For example Harvard Profesor James Russell is married to an Armenian. Just look at the list of 125 Holocaust scholars who signed the letter placed in the New York Times and you will find close to 100 American Jewish scholars who support our cause Israeli Cabinet Ministers Yossi Beilin and Yossi Sarid are very vocal supporters ofthe Armenian cause I can begon with Adam Schiff and then list numerous Jewish politicians who are of higher rank than Cheryl Kagan who consistently support us. I have worked alongside numerous Jews. Jews support each other while Armenians tear each other apart. That is why they have political power and we presently have only one congresswoman who is half Assyrian and is known more as an Assyrian than an Armenian

My birth sign too! I will be 60 this year.

Listen, I am a Protestant Christian by upbringing and a Zen Buddhist by transcendence. I have only been in Jewish temples for the marriages of my family members to Jews, standing up for Jewish friends when they were married or the Bar Mizvah of my nephews.

Verginne is a turk. Rot in hell, turk scum.

No contradiction. These are all good patriotic Armenian families, who support Armenian causes with their $$$$$. Why should I weaken them? I will wait for the family of a Missakian / Kaloogian clone to do it.
