I am curious as to what were the subjects of the books he was removing from Armenia.

Please note that much of the Turkish press are characterizing the German Resolution as a "Genocide" resolution. The Germans have boxed the Turks into a corner by not using the word "genocide." Now they are at a loss. It is imperative for them to go to the next step and state that no massacre occured. When another parliament solely condemns their expulsion of the Armenians from Eastern Anatolia they will proceed to state that very few Armenians ever lived there, that it was a primarily a Turkish province. Soon they will become the laughing-stock of the civilized world.

The ball is now in the Turks court. Time for them to end the "game." They should "cut their losses" and come to terms with this now. They should resolve this and put it behind them on the road to a better economic future. The charade is over.

Nothing here surprises me. Turkey is a nation living in self-delusion. Just think about what transpired when it was revealed that Ataturk's adopted aughter was an Armenian. This guy can get away with this in Turkey because true scholarship does not exist in a state where thought is contolled from the top.

The jury in the Jackson case was thought to be not leaning toward his side of the story. The jury were not a liberal bunch. After sitting in the court for weeks and getting information from the judge, they did not convict him on any of the counts. They had all the information upon which to make a call. Did the members of this forum? There was testimony from staff that the Arvizo boys ransacked the house. The booze and porno found had been put away, and was not in view. Jackson speaks with an effeminate voice and wears makeup. He has disfigured himself through excessive plastic surgery. He has had boys sleeping in his bed and has held their hands in public. Things looked very bad on the surface. Why did this jury exhonerate him? After weighing the evidence, they did not believe that he had molested this boy.

The Republicans have worked very hard to create new "bogeymen" to replace the threats of Communism and irrational black people. Now we have the image of Levantines and homosexuals as the overwhelming threats to petrify the American public into voting for the Republicans.

What an uncanny coincidence. This story coincides with Erdogan's visit. I am sure the White House had their hand in this. Meanwhile Armenians overwhelmingly continue to pour large donations into the Republican Party.

The head of the Los Angeles Police Psychology unit specializing in morals cases, who did a thorough study of the first Jackson case has stated that Jackson is a regressed individual who has the emotional development of a child. He has stated clearly that Jackson is no molester. This coming from a career police officer. Jackson is definately weird. Just look at his pictures from his early 20's when he was a handsome black man (enhanced by plastic surgery). Today he looks like a freak. Why am I not surprised that Domino, Armjan, etc. are ready to jump to conclusions?

She is a woman of the highest integrity. Too bad Tony Blair doesn't take some lessons from her, instead of being GWB's lap dog.

If you study activities of the Jewish underground in Palestine before Israel was founded, you will find terrorist activities also. If the Turks acted honorably these actions would never had occurred. The ball is in Turkey's court. They have the power to solve ALL their problems. A nation which becomes a primarily Muslim state by annihilating its Armenian, Greek and Assyrian subjects has not the right years later claim that they are being discriminated against because they are a Muslim state.

Sneddon was prosecuting weirdness, but he didn't succeed.

That didn't stop Harry Houdini!

Good Idea, Gams It is a hot summer day today

...and where does the high intelligence of Armenians acting as sole agents come from? N. B. (Note Bene): We all know that Armenians acting collectively are imbeciles.

Ara, What do you expect from a people who collectively do not think for themselves? A people whose perceptions arise from being: ETCHMIADZININ PECHIN DAGE

Medya, There are two levels. Many of us Armenians were raised in Jewish neighborhoods and had long-time pleasant interaction with Jews as neighbors, school colleagues and genuine friends. As nations, it gets very complicated. The Jews are not monolithic. The Armenian cause has prominent friends, as well as, prominent enemies among the Jews.

The Dashnaks are just realists. They realize that it is time to proceed to the next step. Turkey has suceeded in making itself the laughingstock of most of the civilized world except for the US, Israel and perhaps Pakistan.

The Armenian Republic of 1918-1920 had an Ambassador in Japan, a woman no less. This has all been forgotten.

Our interests coincide with that which is most advantageous for the Turkish people in the long run. Reforming Turkey will raise the level of all her people. The only ones who will lose are those with something to hide.

We all know who owns many of the major US media organizations, and it is not Greeks or Armenians. Would a Greek or Armenian owner disseminate an Ankara-sponsored CD throughout Europe as did one of the largest US media establishments?

Every amateur pundit should not be taken seriously. It is only one person stating their opinion.

Get a copy of the CD, have a diverse number of eminent scholars analyze it and produce a CD to refute any distorted claims. ...And who runs Time Warner? Who made this decision? Follow the money trail and find out the facts, then disseminate these facts.

Artsakh, Please do some independent reading. I think that you only read what confirms what you have already been taught. Do you really know about the Jews of Ottoman Turkey? Are you a Richard Hovanissian or a George Bournoutian on these subjects? You remind me of myself when I was about 20 years old. I will ask you the same thing I asked TMNT--"How old are you?" I was a De Molay. I am sworn to secrecy. I can only discuss what is in the public domain on the internet, that the Masons emerged from the Knights Templar. Read the history of the Templars and you will be able to answer your own questions.

Artsakh, Stating facts about the lobbying of Jewish organizations for Turkey does not make one an anti-Semite. The question is, how did we get to the point where the Jews consider the Turkish nation an indispensable ally, even in the face of REAL rising anti-Semitism in Turkey? What mistakes have WE made whereupon these Jews will side with Turkey unconditionally? It is very easy to blame others or outside forces for our being "asleep at the switch." Sephardic writers claim that powerful Armenians caused the executions of Jews in Ottoman Turkey. They are caught up in the Turkish meglo-mania vis-a-vis Armenians. They have clearly distorted the facts to make it look that business rivalries directly led to the execution of Jews. A typical Turkish distortion. Not one of our prominent historians has ever refuted these outlandish claims.

Artaxias, Your distorted view is similar to that of the Turkish establishment. A number of hidden Jews, the Doenmeh, are key players in the Genocide, so you paint the whole Jewish "nation" with one brush. Morgenthau, Werfel etc. you conveniently forget. A number of Armenian youth, angry about the treatment of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, bomb a few buildings and commit some other acts, so the Ittihadists commence a campaign to wipe out all the Armenians. ...and please don't say that the Jewish Holocaust did not occur. You sound like the Turks who deny the Genocide. I believe in "Karma." One could say that the complicity of the hidden Jews in the Genocide led to the Holocaust of Jews a mere 25 years later.
