That is not the generally recognised Rubenid coat of arms - it is a lion walking, seen side on, holding a cross on a long staff.

I'll repeat what I said earlier "Do you honestly think I care what you have to say?" My post arose because I was worried that Zurderer actually might care about what Edward had said. But I am probably underestimating Zurderer. By now he probably has a good idea what to expect here, and has the required thick skin. As for shooting those fish in a barrel like I can do, or just stabbing them with sharp objects like Zurderer does - there is no lasting entertainment value to the activity.

Do you honestly think I care what you have to say? BTW, Zurderer, keep up the good work and don't be discouraged from posting stuff here!

"In the face of the distress of assimilation, the glory of a shared victimhood is seductive indeed, especially when it can be attained without having actually suffered." "Without the shared sense of purpose afforded by the pursuit of Turkish recognition, would the Armenian diaspora simply assimilate and disappear? In other words, is Turkey's denial the diaspora's lifeblood?" The Burden of Memory Meline Toumani http://since1865.com/doc/20040920/toumani

1.5 million by a single Turk in a single day, Turkish creativity indeed.

And he was called an "Israeli citizen" (by the BBC).

No you won't. You will be considered to be a certified moron, which is probably worse.

Never said there was. I was just saying that is why ASALA specifically chose to target them rather than, say, Turkish businessmen, or Turkish soldiers, or Turks in general.

They represented the Turkish state which was, and still is, active in denying the genocide. Interestingly, a large percentage of those Turks producing genocide-denial literature seem to be diplomats or retired diplomats (is it part of their contract that they have to write such stuff, or a backlash as a result of those 1970s assasinations? )

Before you spew your vomit you had better face the fact that the issue of the all the newly emerged "friends" of Hrant Dink is significant, and they include many who actually hated and actively opposed him in life, and whose nationalistic politics Dink was completely against.

Tercan actually covers a big and geographically varied area. Can you be more specific - were they north or south of the Firat? And make me more motivational - ask them why it is important for those places to be identified, and what is significant about them. I'll dig out some old maps and have a look if you do.

So many friends he had! It's a wonder he had the time to make friends with them all. Or maybe most of them only started to call themselves his "friends" after his murder.

I hope I am not misreading it, but I think there may be a rather truthful and intelligent observation in there.

You are forgetting that some airport-workers butchered, cooked, and then ate one at Istanbul airport recently. But how did they get a camel through security - even through the eye of a needle would be easier!
