You initially trust your fellow Armenian. After they hood-wink you, they expect your appreciation towards them for hood-winking you. If you fight for your rights, they become your enemy. This is especially true of members of the clergy.

"Armenian, isn't that just north of Greece?" I get that fairly often. Did you know that even today most Americans can not place Iraq on a map. No wonder they elected you-know-who President. It will work in our favor, however. I have a strange feeling that the Genocide Resolution will pass his year. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling is that the Jews will not stop it this year nor will the US military.

This is the cycle of life, we are born and we die (we leave this plane and ascend to another). What is important is how we act in this short period. I know of not one man (or woman) who has taken their wealth with them to the next world. Personally, there were earlier Popes that I liked more than this one. It was great that he helped Armenia, however.

I was a young child of eight years, sitting in a closed stall in the boy's restroom at our American Protestant church school. Two fellow classmates came in and began talking about our family. One said "My mother wants to know when they are going to run these "Jews" out of our church? So it is not only Turks who think Armenians are Jews. Even Armenian peasants in the outskirts of Van considered the Armenians of the city of Van, Jews. I have been mistaken for Arab, French, Italian, Iranian as well.

The beautiful Terri Schiavo got that way by eating and purging. The overweight unnattractive Terri Scihavo did not purge. The whole system is faulty. We are encouraged to eat, eat, eat, yet women are expected to be slim and sexy and men are expected to be firm and trim (especiallly in body-conscious California). Corporate food producers have been given too much of a free hand in the US. McDonalds is making millions feeding America crap. Both the recent McDonald's President and the owner's widow died prematurely eating that crap every day. America is a sick society. Terri Schiavo had no enamel on the back of her teeth and her stomach lining was damaged at the time of her initial seizure. These are classic signs of bulimia.

Come on, Shaunt! There is some beautiful old architecture in Yerevan, which is slowly being destroyed. It is the Soviet architecture from the 40s to the 60s that is so ugly. What do you want to see Yerevan become, carbon copy of an American city?

If her parents want to keep her alive, they should have their wish. The husband can go to court and have the marriage terminated, but then he won't have the $ that was won in the malpractice suit. Bush, however, is a real hypocrite in this instance. For him and the Republicans in Congress, it is all about politics.

Give it time. The tide is turning. Soon the Jews will be our friends. Just look what is brewing in Turkey for the Jews. The Turkish officials say that there is no antipathy toward Jews in Turkey, while Mein Kampf is selling like hotcakes. Just like they say that there was no Genocide.

These later photos of her tell a different story than the earlier ones. Her beauty shines through here, while her over-sized smile dominated the earlier shots.

The bottom line is, who confiscated the properties of whom? Are not the descendants of the Ittihadists enjoying the plundered wealth of the Armenians, Greeks and Assyrians?....And how do the Turks treat their minorities today, Huh? My ancestor was one of the 22 Armenians they mention, why am I not just elated? I doubt that the Europeans are buying their line. Perhaps the Pakistanis are, but what other nation?

All this crap is emanating from a paid Turkish government mouthpiece. You can count the academicians toeing the Turkish govt. line in the West on one hand, as opposed to 126 Holocaust scholars affirming the Genocide in the NY Times.

Quebecer, Do you have a vitae on this clown? Where did he go to school? I believe that he is married to a Turkish woman. Is he part Turkish? How large a stipend do the Turks pay him a year? Where was he born? Now that Weems is dead, he is taking his place.

It has been the Protestant and Catholic Armenians who have traditionally been our bridge to Europe. They are a different "breed" of Armenian, who have close bonds with the Europeans.

Given sensitivities as they are, Turkish persecution of a Protestant minister, or even a Catholic priest will have much more damaging repercussions to Turkish EU hopes than would persecution of an Armenian Lusavorchagan priest. Persecuting him would send shock waves throughout Northern Europe.

Mein Kampf is just a book, you stated.

Hey Mouse, Have you read the memoirs of the physician, Dr. Mehmet Rashid? He believed that Armenians were microbes in the Turkish "body" and therefore had to be exterminated. It is just a memoir, so no need to be concerned with it.

Hey Siamanto, Please take a good look at the avatar of Anonymouse. Look carefully at the "eyes." What is your impression of the eyes of the avatar? Don't you agree that they are the eyes of a deranged individual?

Hey Mouse, Your avatar has the eyes of a "khent." Do you also have such eyes? If so, you belong in a "khentanotz."

Emil, The Armenian plastic surgeons in LA are quite well-known. Many an Armenian dolma keet has been pared by them as well as the Arab/Heria keets that many Armenians had.

Translation: The donkey thinks it is a nutsweet, so he eats the thorn.

Mr. Baliozian, How true what you said. The only Armenians who can be objective about the Armenians are the Armenians who have been raised with an odar mentality, outside of the community. No Armenian who has been raised inside the community can ever be free of the influences of the community, as even you Mr. Baliozian are a captive. If you were not, perhaps you would have achieved international reknown as did Michael Arlen, Sr. who shedded his Armenian skin (Dikran Kouyoumdjian) and became a perfect Englishman.

Vartan hits the mark: Political dialogue is possible, but no dialogue on issue that Young Turks responded to random acts of revolutionary Armenians with a planned, systematic campaign to eliminate Armenians and other Christians from the area of present day Turkey http://groong.usc.edu/news/msg105300.html

Good news. Shoonshanortee Levon Travel almost left me stranded in Athens, after I had booked a paid ticket to Yerevan. Seems someone with political clout had bumped me. I had to make a few long distance calls to rectify the situation. They probably bumped some unsuspecting soul to let me on, Shoonshanorteener!
