Anahid and all: Are we speaking of walking in the "steps of Jesus" or in the steps of he hierarchies that are organized Christianity? To be a true Christian one must "walk in the steps" of Jesus. How many of you have spent years studying hundreds of books about the mission of Jesus? How many of you have truly followed the suggestion of Jesus to "seek, seek and you shall find" the kingdom of heaven? Anyone can claim to be a Christian (a follower of the teachings of Christ). It is the practice of Christianity that has been corrupted and must be exposed for what it is. I relish this because it will bring to light the true teachings and nature of Jesus, including his deep devotion to his wife and children. So sad that his descendants have had to live in fear of exposure and death for all these centuries.

Skhara, This was bandied about a few years ago by Russophile forces in Armenia. I clearly remember being disgusted by the thought. Is "pro-Western" a code word for "pro-Jew"? Lets get our definitions of "West" straight shall we? Western civilization is also called Occidental civilisation. This includes Russia, as Russia is clearly an occidental civilization. This includes Armenia, although Armenia is very unique in having elements of both west and east having been a buffer between Rome and Parthia. Jews are not, and have never been part of the occidental civilization. Hence there is a new defenition of the so-called "West". The Jews of today are overwhelmingly part of occidental civilization. The majority of Jews have lived in the West for many centuries. Sephardic and Oriental Jews constitute a minority of World Jewry. And the formula of this so-called "West" is the following: Occidental civilisation + Jews - Orthodox Christian world = "West" Oh and as far as what would happen if your zionist buddies install a pro-"westerner" in Iran, well here is a likely scenerio: This pro-"Westerner" will work within the framework of zionist interests in the Caucasus. These zionists will be "frustrated" at the lack of progress over the Nagorno-Karabakh "peace-settlement", so something would have to give. Most of you already know of the IDF food rations among Azeri POWs. Most of you allready know of the recent delegation of Jews visiting Azerbaijan, and declaring a "tolerant nation where Jews and other minorities leave in peace and properity." So take a guess at what will have to give within their framework. The equation can change suddenly. Have you not read the repercussions of Ankara's meeting last Thursday with the leaders of Hamas? Soon Armenia may find itself in the Zionist camp. Why do you think that Israel is making overtures toward Armenia in the last few months? Also, the situation in Iran may drastically change suddenly God-forbid, your zionist buddies are ever successful when it comes to Iran. If that were to happen, I would not be typing "I told you so" here on hyeforum for my thoughts would be elsewhere. Your biggest nightmare will soon come to pass. The US will be setting up a regime in Iran, just like they did with the Shah after they undermined Mossadegh.

This confirms what I have always stated, that the ROA needs Westerners as her leaders. This is, if they can survive in this environment. Armenia and Russia are going through the same stage that the US and England went through after the Industrial Revolution.

Russia wants Armenia to remain an "obedient wife." There are even forces in Russia (and sadly in Armenia) who want "enosis" of Armenia with Russia. Russia is taking advantage of Armenia's difficulties. Friendship does not mean capitulation. Armenai should continue to triangulate its ties to Russia with those of the US and the EU. I wonder what wil happen after the US invades Iran and establishes a pro-Western regime there? This is imminent.

Ara, What is the "root cause" of the silencing of our intellectuals such as Abovian and Zarian? I suspect that the impetus emanates from the Armenian Apostolic Church hierarchy. Is this true? If not, where does the main thrust of the Armenian doctrine of silencing our intellectuals come from? Who is hellbent upon perpetuating the myths concerning our history and why?

These kind of Armenians are giving all of us a bad name. The numerous hard-working professional Armenians never get any press except for celebrities like the Geragos brothers.

Surprisingly, I find myself agreeing 100% with another one of my antagonists, namely Arpa (see bolded section of Arpa's comments belows).

The architect who designed the Zvarnotz Airport building should be shot (LOL) if he is still alive.

My ex-wife was 100% Armenian. It was my brother who had a Jewish wife and my cousins who married Jews. Please explain why my ex chose to do away with pregnancies in all her three marriages. I do not idolize Jackson, but believe in fairness. If he truly did these things he should be put away. If you are judging him solely due to the prejudice of people with viewpoints like you, then you are accusing him solely upon appearances.

Azat, You mean he bought out the parent. If your child was truly molested, would you sell his soul for a price? Do you remember the woman who claimed to have found a finger in her Wendy's burger? It was a sham. A very devious boss of mine once stated. "It is not the reality that is important, but the perception." Therefore, if many feel that Michael Jackson's relationship with young boys is a sexual one, a devious parent can take advantage of this and make a lot of money. If this truly happened, I doubt the parent would take the money. He or she would want the molester put away for good. Azat, make yourself happy. Find a girfriend you loves you. Then you will not hae to focus upon the life of Michael Jackson. If you had a more satisfying sex life, you would not have to channel your frustration. Jackson should not be befriending young boys. It is very stupid on his part, given his weird appearance and actions. If there is really smoke here, then the 1993 case should be re-opened and all the facts should be brought out. The 2004-2005 case was clearly a sham. Thre plaintiff's family were totally dishonored. I know of a few such cases in California, where similar persons filed suit with no sensitivity too whom it would harm. Luckily, they did not prevail.

These negotiations will continue to go nowhere until "the elephant" is removed from the negotiating room. "The elephant" is the souls of the innocents who were killed in the Armenian heartland. How can one negotiate when this issue is not on the table?

Therefore you have nothing to worry about. Yet, I don't think he molested the children whose parents sued him either in 1993 or lately. He is a weirdo, but not a pedophile. .

Just make sure he is not alone with children un-chaperoned. Where the h--l are our Armenian celebrities that the Jacksons have to do this?

Skhara, We rarely agree, but I am 100% in agreement with you on that one. The A&E CEO was raised in Queens, New York. She is the top dog there and knows all about the real Armenians who lived there during her formative years. There was little Middle-Eastern about them. This is a deliberate slur. It all has to do with Turkey.

Yes, he is a freak in numerous ways. Yet, there are numerous others, including some Armenians, that I would not want a child to imitate. We could use the new focus on Armenia. By the way, where are Cher, Agassi et. al? So it takes American blacks to make an investment there?

Arpa, I don't touch the stuff. I don't smoke any drugs. I take no presription medicines. I do not even take asprin. Do you have proof that Michael Jackson molested young boys? The mother in the latest case was totally dishonored. As for the earlier case in 1993, would you allow someone like Jackson to bribe you into silence if it was your child? I doubt any parent whose child was truly molested would allow themselves to be bought off. So it all has to do with extracting money.

I once held a subscription to the A&E magazine. I wrote a letter to them after an article appeared in that magazine which discussed Mount Ararat, mentioning all the peoples in the vicinity of that mountain except Armenians. They never responded and I cancelled my subscription. The top-dogs at A&E are jaded against Armenians. I wonder who is running that organization?

Get out of your Armenian "cocoon" and mingle with the other peoples of the world. Perhaps you will learn something and also help the Armenian nation to build social, political and economic bridges. I don't like these anti-Georgian statements. They are very counterproductive. You are playing right into Turkey and Azerbaijan''s game plan to isolate Armenia from the world.

Must I remind all you that an Armenian had rised to the top echelons of the Georgian government until his life was snuffed out under mysterious circumstances?

With Gamavor vying to be the Armenian Ahmadinejad and the rest of you agreeing with him vis-a-vis Georgians being sent to Siberia, I think that my statement is right on target. One of my closest friends grandmother was Georgian nobility married to an American industrialist. They are good people generally. The Turks are playing them against us.

They'll just love you in Ankara. Yeah, so you want to alienate the Georgians. So you want Iran to be our only land outlet to the world? I think that you are all unhinged mentally. Fine if all Armenians leave Georgia, but only IF the Armenian province in Georgia is returned to Armenia.

Arpa, With all the KGB agents ( I know that it is now called NSS ) who lurk in Armenia you do not have to worry about Michael Jackson activities. Why am I not surprised at your irrational fear?

There are numerous Timothy McVeigh types documented in the media. Most of these lunatics sit on the right-hand side of the political spectrum. The world knows about these elements. Turkey has white-washed itself to the world. Are you familiar with the Grey Wolves? You don't have to tell me about American hicks harboring homicidal feelings, since I am an Armenian who was raised among the "germags." During the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, I was attacked by a bunch of hoodlums. When I told them that I was Armenian and not Iranian, they said "No difference, we will kill you anyway."

The more light the news media shed on Turkey the better. She should be exposed for what she really is.
