And now the Antidote;

Thank you Vahegyan for the video. http://www.zshare.net/video/74808096c173a3a1/ I have yet to watch the entire video as I take a break after each frame. To answer my own http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMalke12#p/u/0/PmB9MXH2d4Iquestion whether they allude to the “German complicity”, it seems they do. Even though I don’t understand the entire German language, but I can see where they show footage confirming it. Also note the German actress, at minutes 40+ who all but chokes reading her lines. Is she the re-incarnation of the German (fraulein) woman in Siamanto’s epic poem Par@/ՊԱՐԸ/The Dance http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=9047&st=0&p=96492&hl=kerosene&fromsearch=1entry96492 See the original Armenian here; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=5310&st=0&p=40626&hl=siamanto&fromsearch=1entry40626

Imaagine if you can that as per Ms. Hillary's invitaion Mr. Sargisian would be in Washington today. Some cynical people have the nerve! I can’t find the actual news item whereby Ms. Hillary had invited Mr. Sargisian to a meeting in Washington on APRIL 23 purportedly to discuss the “proctocols“. Gladly Mr. Sargisian declined the “invitaion”, call it “summons” He showed the size of his gonads, saying that on those days he would be busy with the commemoration of the Genocide, visiting the Memorial at Tsitsernakaberd and laying wreaths of flower at the tomb of the murdered 1.5 million Armenians. I would have loved to know the program schedule, like holding a cocktail party on the Evening of the 23d, reciting toasts to the “Armeno-furkish friendship”, wishing long life to ergagan and gul. And, on the 24th have state dinner with kokma, kakma and kakstrma on the main menu, with furkish delight as dessert. SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE!!! To take us for fools and idiots. Maybe we are FOOLS and IDIOTS, but even that has its limits. Who is the fool and idiot? The inviter or the invitee? Yes, Ms. Hillary. How many “tough nuts” have you seen? Mr. Bill does not count. Yes, Ms. Clinton snap your fingers, you say “jump” and we the “fools” will ask “how high”??? Speaking of “courtesans”** and court jesters!!! **Please look up to see what this word means.

I'm sure you mean "rest in piss" --- You may have noticed that of late I have been spelling the word with an extra C, “proCtocol”. What I mean is, at what institute of “proCtology” was that document conceived and written? At the ankara institute of "vorrology"? Some of us speak through the upper aperture of our digestive system… an others…. Who may confuse the words “word” for “fart,տրամաբանութիւն/ logic as տտռիկաբանութիւն”.

RIP ProCtocols!!! Today we sing and dance at a “funeral”, a funeral of a “non-baby” that was never born, it was stillborn, DOA/dead on arrival, since mehmet the butcher was the midwife whose scalpel is a scimitar. They should that "scalpel" to render thwemselves sterile once and for all. http://news.am/en/news/19739.html Please join me to celebrate the “funeral” of the "proctocols" singing….I Verin Yerousaghem.

Cherchez La Femme!!!?? Yes, yes we know that “immodest dress” causes erec.. I mean eruptions… The cliché was first told by; Was he listening to “La Donna E Mobile” at the time? ---- Yes, yes we know- "God works in mysterious ways"? Did they not know how to spell "masturbatory"??

Please note Bakounts’ ARF life and the eventual disillusionment. ----- By Eddie Arnavoudian March 11, 2002 1 AKSEL BAKOONTZ'S `INHERITANCE' Aksel Bakoontz (1899-1937), the most accomplished of the Soviet era Armenian short story writers, made a huge impression on his contemporaries. Some of the reasons can be gleaned from Tavit Kasparian's introduction to 'Inheritance', a collection of Bakoontz's unpublished political writings. Despite some questionable evaluations Kasparian illuminates significant aspects of Bakoontz's life and work and stimulates thought about the nature of the literary and aesthetic conflicts of the early Soviet Armenian era. Bakoontz was an archetypal representative of the late l9th and early 20th century Armenian national revival - a committed intellectual born of the people and dedicated to the welfare of the people. From an extremely poor family, the population of his home village Koris raised the money to school him. In return, by 16, he commenced teaching and writing as a conscious contribution to the project of national enlightenment. Like many of his generation he joined the Armenian Revolutionary Federation at a very young age and also enlisted as a volunteer soldier. Following the establishment of Bolshevik power in Armenia, Bakoontz's transition from an ARF member to a social and literary activist in Soviet Armenia was seamless and without major ideological turmoil. He wasn't an ideologue and was not primarily concerned with the realisation of any grand theoretical enterprise. For him the ARF was fundamentally an organisational means for securing progressive change in Armenia. Once it ceased to be effective Bakoontz saw no moral reason to retain membership or to leave the country after the ARF's prohibition. Many of the writings collected here reflect on the movement away from the ARF by Bakoontz and thousands of rank and file ARF activists. Bakoontz explicitly rejects suggestions of a forced conversion. The tone and style of his commentaries confirm explicit assertions that his action was conscious and voluntary. He is also at pains to mark himself off from ARF members who fled the country. He would remain to serve the people in the new conditions that, from the material here reproduced, he considered to be positive. So during the first years of Soviet power Bakoontz headed the Armenian Relief society, worked energetically as economist and agriculturist in remote mountainous Armenian villages educating and enlightening, arbitrating in land disputes and translating huge amounts of educational literature. But Bakoontz's main ambition was to become a writer. So in 1924 he moved to Yerevan where two years later he joined the Bolshevik Party. Putting to use his immense knowledge of rural Armenia he secured rapid literary recognition. But he was also immediately embroiled in the bitter intellectual war that marked the revival of Armenian life in the first years of Soviet power. From 1923 to the great purges of 1937 that silenced more than a decade of creative upsurge two literary trends had crystallised in Armenian cultural life. Bakoontz was part of the grouping initially named 'November' that included Yeghishe Charents, Mkrtich Armen, and Gourgen Mahari. Nairi Zarian (not to be confused with Gostan Zarian) headed the opposition. Nairi Zarian's grouping endured, but not primarily on account of its literary talent. Sponsored by an increasingly powerful, centralist and anti-democratic faction of the Soviet political elite, Nairi Zarian's allies were mobilised to counter literary expressions of an emergent Armenian centrifugal, independent socialist political formation. Within the terms of a progressive socialist outlook the November writers attempted to focus their internationalist concerns through a reflection of the national history and the contemporary culture, traditions and mores of the society in which they lived. They argued that genuine, progressive art could be produced only through grasping and grappling with life as it expressed itself in Armenia. As a part of the enterprise Bakoontz urged Armenian, and non-Armenian writers in the Soviet Union as a whole, to 're-evaluate their huge (national) cultural inheritance' and 'use it to map out new highways'. The result is a body of outstanding work - Mkrtich Armen's 'Heghnar's Fountain', Gourgen Mahari's 'My Life', Charent's vast poetic output and of course Bakoontz's masterly short stories. Against this vital artistic ambition, the party apparatus demanded the impossible: a literature that presented as authentic life the lifeless ideological mirage constructed by central party hacks to legitimise their usurpation of power. Creative and talented artists could not of course undertake the task without surrendering their integrity. So the lesser writers or those happy to exchange talent for status grouped themselves round Zarian. Setting about the persecution of Bakoontz and his allies they displayed ruthlessness, an absence of any moral decency and a total lack of aesthetic judgement. Nairi Zarian commented that Bakoontz's stories 'contain neither living characters nor a sparkle of genuine life'. He went on to denounce Bakoontz's work as 'poisonous nationalist and Trotskyist meddling in Soviet literary life'. Equally gross was Vagharshag Norentz's claim that Bakoontz was 'the most provincial and limited author in our literature'. The killing, imprisonment and exile of Charents and his allies was not of course a direct result of such vicious and fraudulent polemic. But for whatever reason, in becoming instruments of a party elite many writers contributed to the isolation and to the tragic fate of talented colleagues. The destiny of the lesser writers was also not free of its own burdens. Many, however loyal to the party, fell victim to its constant twists and turn and ended up on the gallows or in camps. Others, talented or just honest aspirants must have felt the terrible shame and humiliation of betraying artistic integrity for status. Nairi Zarian himself is a case in point. Any reading of his novels and plays reveals a talent disastrously vitiated by adherence to the worst aspects of the artistically fatal theory of 'socialist realism' - in effect a call to tailor art to the demands of a bureaucratic and privileged party elite. As Soviet political life underwent its innumerable zigzags many of these writers managed to release themselves from total subservience to an ossified ideology and went on to play a more positive role. Norentz for example made what was surely an immense contribution in editing and publishing volumes of Western Armenian poets and novelists. Kasparian's introduction ends with a stimulating discussion of Bakoontz's artistic achievement. He notes the close bond between human beings and nature that marks Bakoontz's brilliant short stories. Human life here in the backward Armenian provinces appears as an almost elemental component of the world of nature. It is as if human beings here lived by instinct in a world unchanged for centuries, albeit marked by periods of harmony and a brutal conflict with nature. Yet at its vibrant core Bakoontz's stories reveal a sharp contrast between men and women's harsh social and natural lives and their dreams, expectations and hopes for a more generous and gentle existence. 2. HOVNATAN MARCH - THE ENGER PANCHOONIE OF THE DIASPORA There is a category of literary work that has particular cultural- national significance. To be appreciated, they require an audience sharing a common cultural/historical tradition. Translate them into another language and they run the risk of falling as flat as the proverbial medieval earth. But read in the context of their historical and traditional roots they can be evocative and illuminating. Aksel Bakoontz's 'Hovnatan March' is this order of work. Written in 1927 this is definitely a book with a relevance for the Armenian Diaspora today. A satirical work, it destroys with a powerful comic punch and a sharp sarcastic jab the glittering reputations enjoyed by millionaire Diaspora benefactors and their agents. By donning the cloak of a generous patriotic benefactor a millionaire's ego is flattered. But more importantly it enables him to secure business advantage in the homeland. It also enables him to recruit starry-eyed patriots who believing they are carrying out a hallowed national duty but then unwittingly do the millionaire's bidding. These common and well known types are dissected by Bakoontz with a perceptive intelligence combined with the sharpest of literary talents. Behind glowing facades Bakoontz reveals people driven either by greed for profit or by a ridiculously empty and parochial nationalism. In their actions such people are indifferent to or fail to see the real trials and tribulations of the homeland and its population. Hovnatan March is an agent for Buenos Aires based millionaire Antreas Balikian whose only genuine interest is the price of carpet and the state of commercial markets. To grease the wheels of his business ambitions he willingly lends his name, but not his money, to an adventure planned by March. March is a leading light in a bizarre venture to secure a plot of land in Armenia on which he hopes to build a 'New Ethiopia' township incorporating all the most advanced features of American industry and life. March is your quintessential Diaspora activist: conceited, vain, bombastic, presumptuous and a bit of a buffoon. He is also ridiculously unreal. His conceptions of Armenia, of Armenians and of patriotic duty are fashioned by a manufactured and mythical history of an ancient Armenia marked by an exaggerated military heroism, cultural achievement and national glory. Armed with a grandiose fantasy of the past and a grandiose fantasy for the future, March manages to overlook the actual, immediate needs of the mass of the people, needs which take into account actual poverty, backwardness and misery. Besides March, Bakoontz parades and ridicules a host of other characters - cultural philistines, empty headed priests, discredited soldiers and their likes. Those lampooned by him fall victim to a remarkably inventive wit and sarcasm. Bakoontz has a talent for conjuring a place, a mood, a character, a situation with a few strokes of the pen. The dirty insect ridden hotel, the stinking heat blasted streets, the dilapidated and abandoned ancient churches, the dry, arid and stony country, the philistine literary circle, the backward rural villages - each is etched in language so precise, fresh and vivid that he essentially constructs it around you as you read him. The result is an excellent contrast between the real and the bizarre, between necessity and fantasy. If Yervant Odian's Enger Panchooni is the Don Quichote of the Armenian political world, then Hovnatan March is the Panchooni of the Armenian Diaspora: possessed of amazingly grand plans which are expounded with much zeal and bombast but which actually amount to 'much ado about nothing'. Yet it is worth noting that while Panchooni has no redeeming features, March does. He is not essentially evil, and unlike the millionaire is not self seeking. Like hundreds if not thousands of individuals in the Diaspora he feels his rootlessness and is searching for some anchor and foundation for his life. The great merit of Bakoontz's work is to demonstrate that this search cannot be accomplished by adopting a false, romanticised patriotism so widespread in the Diaspora. Real patriotism which actually helps people requires rather more humble and modest ventures and does not of course guarantee shiny reputations and national fame. In this context one is reminded of those who funded the construction of the massive and un-needed multi-million dollar Cathedral in the centre of Yerevan while the population as a whole lacks schools, medical care and other services and - while rural churches, often of some cultural value are left to rack and ruin. Bakoontz's short stories have international significance and are a valuable addition to world literature (a taste in English has been offered by Rouben Rostamian's excellent translations). Hovnatan March on the contrary has, I suspect, a more national, Armenian, significance. But this does not detract from its value. It is a skilled accomplishment and will be read, with profit and pleasure both in its original or in translation.

Good to see you Dear Eddie As I mentioned before many here are familiar with your excellent commentaries, many are avid readers and followers, your works have been quoted here under a variety of topics. Please write more often and regale and educate us with your excellent articles. As to R. Sevak’s prose novellas, I wish I could help but I am not a cyber-geek, we have many here who can help, the most expert of them being our fearless commander in chief, our Administrator Garo, I am sure he can scan and even convert them to HTML format. If he agrees you can mail him copies of the said literature.. I am keenly interested, as I can only vaguely remember the details that I have read many years ago at middle school. Those “diaries” are not only literary gems they are also a good “picture” of the society of the time, even with historical value. I am reluctant to name names lest I leave some out, as to cyber-savvies among us come to mind the likes of Harut, Azat, Mosjan,,Sip, Vava, Yervant1 et al….and, of course, as above Garo… With warm regards, In anticipation…

How can we forget…; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=331&hl=kotayk&st=20 http://www.kotayknights.com/ Speaking of Xenophon, we all assume that he was Greek. Look again at his name "xeno=alien/foreign" and "phon=sound"/ օտարահունչ, did he speak with an accent? Was he in fact a foreigner to the Greeks, i.e he was an Armenian???

WHO THE HELL CARES!!!! WHO ASSIGNED THEM JUDGE JURY and EXECUTIONER?? The more we place our noses next to their v***ks the more they will fart. http://farts.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/11/30/turbofart_2.jpg You mean, once THEY say it was a G it will be a G? How about the Parliament of Armenia, and all the “"Armenian parliaments"” take up the case of the “holo..koks” and declare it a “hoax”?? Remember when after that erbokhan insultezd theirx president shitmon peres they came back crawling, kissing erbokhan's behind and reasserted their long standing "mutual love affair".?? Of course, "mutual love affair", after all which of the neighbors of either of them loves them?

Also see the linguistics of the word here; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=19143&st=0&p=253727&hl=yeghern&fromsearch=1entry253727 Call me an idiot, call me anything but don’t forget to call me a “prophet” too. http://www.panorama.am/am/politics/2010/04/20/genocide-exern/?sw ----- In addition, as above I urged us to be more circumspect, not only us as individuals but also our institutions that attacked the President relentlessly for not using the G word. The man is a “freshman” gradually learning the tricks of the trade. Besides, he has so much on his plate that will make any of us get dizzy and throw up. Coming back to “learning”, why don’t WE TEACH HIM THE ARMENIAN LANGUAGE instead of him learning it at U of ankara????

Yes Dear Boghos,I too like okra/bamia, and I often have it. However I do remember when we would not even go home for lunch on bamia days. Most children don’t like it for a variety of reasons, neither do the average Americans simply because they have no imagination, they don’t know how to prepare it, they just boil it, maybe with some butter. Not to forget that some Armenians use the word "bamia" as a euphmist for a certain immature male anatomical appendage; http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://greenarbytheday.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/okra_22.jpg&imgrefurl=http://greenarbytheday.wordpress.com/2009/08/13/preservation-technique-how-to-freeze-okra/&h=362&w=500&sz=55&tbnid=w9JLZhTQ3JdB8M:&tbnh=94&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dokra%2Bpictures&hl=en&usg=__aVmWeQHLZ0EvD-wfR09XlqU-I8U=&ei=1bDNS7mALYqy9gTRndCsDw&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image&ved=0CAYQ9QEwAA :ap: ---- Getting back to Bogosian v Monte, I have written about that “Armenian malady”. Whereas we deify and adore other personages, obey them and .... Case in point, we don't even have the decency to address our own with respect. while we cal,l those other dogs with honorific titlee. Look at the three presidents that Armenia has had in the last two decades. We could not wait even one day before beginning to vilify them. We don’t even have the decency to call them “president”, “levonik”, “roibertik” and “sergik”, "ptsik -pllik" etc.? Of course, after all they are our own snotty/khllot boys, unlike when we call that dog hamid “sultan", and the other dog talaat "poopoo/kaka" etc. As a rule the Armenian motto is “gna merir ari sirem”, look at all those we vilified during their lifetimes , comes to mind Abovian, Charents, Bakounts, Komitas and many more, to only deify them after their demise. I am sure you have seen this; http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=18401&st=0&p=245113&hl=heretic&fromsearch=1entry245113 Another Armenian custom is to never vilify a dearly departed, just listen to some of the eulogies at the funeral of a most despicable person…. Yet this Ted did not even have the decency to follow that rule. Of course, Monte is dead, he died a hero’s death, he cannot speak on his behalf. Shame on him for speaking evil of the dead.. What has he done for the nation? Speaking of which, I wish I could find a video of the Armenian Journey docu he had produced. What I remember, yes, there were allegations of Genocide, if only as sideline, the rest of the story, something I hate so was a nostalgic trip to her “homeland” and remising how they peacefully lived together with their “furkish brothers” UNTIL….. Is that not what erbokhan and dav-it-oghlu are saying, that we hade been brothers all those years and centuries UNTIL…. Why can’t we get back to those days when we say “JUMP” and you say “HOW HIGH”? When we say “DIE” , and you let us know if by the sword, starvation or the gallows. Too bad Armenians did not invent or learn how to use this…

Barev Boghos Boghosovich Boghosian. You said it better then I ever could. We need better scientific historians.

Who is this clown to desecrate the sacred memory of Monte anyway? ASALA? Obviously he is a diehard anti-Dashank Ramkavar. Note that those other dogs define "diaspora" as a synonym for "dashnak". There was a time when even I thought the Ramkavars were our "salvation". Little did I know that their one and only agenda was to counter the Dashnaks. Now, it seems they are drowning in their own manure. I have been receiving, gratis, their "RAG" known as Mirror Spectator for quite sometime, whose main topics and letters are diatribes at the Dashnaks. Are they those "certain Diasporans" that dog dav-it-oghlu is talking about? How many of the members can read Armenian? Why has their Party Organ stopped publishing "Payqar/Պայքար"** in the Armenian Language. How many of them can read Armenian? ** It means "struggle" not unlike the Arabic word "Jihad".

Yes indeed dear “sulik/NANE” HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! We have, we have had many “queens” come and go, yet you are our one and only GODESS Here is your picture NANE/ANAHIT; http://www.excatic.com/images/Anahita%20statue.jpg

Yet another ROTTEN BONE thrown at us. Any self respecting Armenian that takes the bait and bites the BONE, exchanges even one word with those DOGS should be remanded to the DOG HOUSE. Look below at highlighted “events”. Yeah right “events”. What is the definition of “event”? Is it like when pamboukji-oghlu, katerji-oghlu and baghdadli-oghlu sing "Լեցնենք ընկերներ բաժակները լի" ? Also note the phrase “certain Armenian Diaspora groups”. HUNH!!! Who are those “certain groups”? I can assure you they are not talking about "tashnags/Dashnaks, their definition of "Diaspora". The who are those "certain groups"? The likes of that Ted Bokh-ass-ian? (See the story about Monte Melkonian) One thing is obvious. They are getting desperate, they tried bullying, threats of deportation, blackmail … and so on, they tried the stick to no avail , and now a “rotten carrot”? Carrot up their ….noses, and that stick , up their#$#%^!! Stick and carrot. Which is the carrot and which the eshek? http://www.paranormalunderground.net/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/bp-carrot-stick.jpg What is an event? Is it a celebration like wedding etc?
