  1. "Boris is trying to commit suicide - last week he contemplated inhaling next to an Armenian."
  2. Maybe European Russia... Don't worry, F.Y.R.O.M., Albania, and most of those other former Yugoslav countries don't really qualify anyway.
  3. The road was jampacked, there were people camping out in the grass and stuff. During the dance many groups broke off from the chain and started their own little dances in the middle of the road inviting others to join. It was fun but the whole thing only lasted for about 5 minutes.
  4. Here are some pictures I took earlier this year. Enjoy.
  5. Beautiful. I was there on the day of the shurjbar.
  6. You heard wrong. It's about an American, Billy Hayes I think.
  7. I stayed at the Marriott Hotel Armenia and thought it was very good. Is that ranked as the best currently? I saw a few others, Congress, Golden Tulip Hotel Yerevan, Ani Plaza, and more... I don't know if those are any competition.
  8. Why Shoushi? Shouldn't we start with cities in the ROA first? Alaverdi, Echmiadzin, or even Yerevan would be a good choice.
  9. They can go back to sweeping the streets later.
  10. Vanessa Redgrave should put this guy in his place.
  11. Where the Truth Lies is based on a novel by Rupert Holmes and has nothing to do with the Armenian Genocide.
  12. Did any of you know that King Baldwin was portrayed by Edward Norton? I found out only recently.
  13. A lot of those Turks look like they don't even know what they're there for.
  14. Because Turks are the descendants of the Ottomans? kthxbye.
  15. Found this off of a Hellenic Genocide website: "The Armenians are not the only subject people in Turkey which have suffered from this policy of making Turkey exclusively the country of the Turks. The story which I have told about the Armenians I could also tell with certain modifications about the Greeks and the Syrians. Indeed the Greeks were the first victims of this nationalizing idea." - Henry Morgenthau Turkey, you got some 'splaining to do.
  16. It's a duplicate. I saw this exact same article on the Turkish Press website.
  17. I've got nothing against Kurds. In fact, my father grew up in an area of Syria that was inhabited by a number of Kurdish people. He has fond memories of them.
  18. I didn't say that I consider Wikipedia as a forum, I was talking about the "talk page." It's the place where you notify people when you make a contribution or edit an entry.
  19. I created an account. Surprisingly enough, Verneuil's masterpiece, Mayrig, didn't have a page, so I took the liberty of creating one. It's still a "stub," but I'll fix that later. Oh, and in my article, I used the word genocide; I'm not going to be neutral. Edit: Argh, just read about their "NPOV" in the tutorial. Oh well.
  20. Turks are always the villains. In Lawrence of Arabia, in Midnight Express, on television's "24," and now on the Yahoo! message boards. What else is new? I'll register, but the forum (where you and that tool Holdwater correspond) looks rather confusing.

    Editors Wanted

    Great idea. I have two Armenian dictionaries. One translates from English to Armenian, and the other from Armenian to English. I think it would be good to have both available online.
  22. A few more to add... In the film Wit, there is a character named Dr. Kelekian. Can anyone confirm if he is Armenian or not? His first name was Harvey, so I'm not quite sure. He could be a fictional character, I'm not sure if the playwright wrote it as an autobiography. By the way, it stars Emma Thompson as a professor who is diagnosed with cancer. Elia Kazan's film America, America, about a Greek man living in Turkey and how he struggles to try and make it to the United States. It shows a scene where the Turks set an Armenian church on fire. If you read some of the reviews, the critics state that it is one of the most powerful scenes in the picture. The opening of Copland stars with some guy talking about Armenians and briefly getting them mixed up with Iranians. Sister, Sister made a few references to Armenians. It could have to do with the fact that the executive producer of the program was Armenian. However, there was one episode where an Armenian mechanic sounded like an Indian/Hindu or something. The accent was highly exaggerated. In the 60's movie, The Fall of the Roman Empire, Omar Sharif plays the King of Armenia. Flash forward thirty years, and he plays another Armenian, Hagop, in Henry Verneuil's masterpiece, Mayrig.
  23. Is anyone here aware of the disputes that take place on the Ararat message boards at IMDb? There seems to be one or two Armenians that are trying to straighten things out. There are also a number of propoganda threads started by Turks. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0273435/board/flat/14113107 What's more is that a bunch of Turkish users who attack the Ararat boards whine like babies at the Midnight Express message boards.
