  3. Armenian Genocide Monument desecrated on Holocaust Memorial Day Turkish protesters disrupt Holocaust Commemmoration The tiny Welsh Armenian community were targeted with a despicable racist attack on Holocaust Memorial Day. The new Armenian Genocide Monument(which was erected by the community in november ) was desecrated in the early hours of the morning before the ceremoniy held today to Commemmorate the Holocaust. The ornate Armenian Cross on the monument was smashed to bits by persons unknown using a hammer, which was left at the scene of the crime. One of the Welsh Armenians said:"This is our holiest shrine. Our grandparents who perished in the Genocide do not have marked graves. This is where we remember them" Eilian Williams of Wales Armenia Solidarity said . "We shall repair the cross again and again no matter how often it is desecrated. We also challange the UK government and the Turkish Embassy to condemn this attack on a peacful ethnic minority". The Holocaust commemmoration was a gesture of friendship by Welsh Armenians towards the Jewish and Roma communnities Eminent Welshman Robin Gwyndaf prayed in Welsh and English. The Assembly Member Jenny Randerson called on the UK government to recognise the Armenian genocide During the Prayers for the Holocaust victims, the "Committee for the Protection of Turkish Rights" used a loud-speaker to disrupt proceedings
  4. A street in Lyon was named in memory of Hrant Dink On January 19, on initiative of Mayor of Lyon Gerald Colomb, a street was named in memory of Hrant Dink. Pastor of the Armenian Evangelical Church Rene Levonian conveyed the gratitude of Dink’s widow Rakel. Turkish Ambassador to France Ismail Hakka Musa also attended the ceremony. However, he left immediately after the event participants referred to the 1915 events.
  5. As a child I used to think that Anushavan Poghosyan's "Potorkic Arach" was the best book ever It was the first book I read in my life, it was good... "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" is a really good one; I'd recommend it to everyone.

    Coz until the last minute we were winning. Bloody Belarus didn't deserve it, if not us then at least other contestants such as Sweden could have won in stead but not Belarus.
  8. Armeniangenocide - epetition reply7 December 2007 We received a petition asking: "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Recognise the Armenian Genocide of 1915." Details of Petition: "More than a million Armenians were massacred by the government of Ottoman Empire (now Turkey) in the twentieth century's first genocide. We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister and Her Majesty's Government to recognise the Armenian Genocide of 1915 because denial is "killing them twice." Read the Government's responseThe British Government acknowledges and regrets the terrible events that afflicted the Ottoman Armenian population at the beginning of the last century, when over a million ethnic Armenian citizens of the Ottoman Empire were killed. Many were massacred; some were victims of civil strife, starvation and disease, which ravaged the whole population of Eastern Anatolia during the First World War. The massacres were an appalling tragedy, which the British Government of the day condemned. We fully endorse that view. However, neither this Government nor previous British Governments have judged that the evidence is sufficiently unequivocal to persuade us that these events should be categorised as genocide as defined by the 1948 UN Convention on Genocide, a convention which is, in any event, not retrospective in application. The British Government believes that the focus should be on ensuring a progressive approach; to improve the chances for reconciliation between Armenian and Turkish people and to achieve a peaceful and secure future for everyone living in the region. To this end we encourage the Governments of Armenia and Turkey to improve co-operation, economic development and understanding between their countries. In preparing for EU accession, Turkey must demonstrate its commitment to good neighbourly relations and must have undertaken to resolve outstanding border disputes. The advancement of accession negotiations will be guided by progress made in these, and other areas.

    Do you think she will become? I guess she is a bit too young and got engaged at a very young age, she was probably attracted by the position of her father in law. I think they are eventually going to break up. I think she is a good candidate, at least she speaks English, should anyone approach and ask anything. She is also pretty, has "the image" that Hayko mentioned and hopefully she will (should) perform well.

    Words Of Wisdom

    I believe that the Holy Bible is one of the best sources where one can find many good words of wisdom. “If you reject criticism, you only harm yourself; but if you listen to correction, you grow in understanding”
  13. A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the very handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you' She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.' 'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.' She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: 1, you have to be single and 2, you must be Catholic.' The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!' 'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.' The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying. 'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?' 'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.' The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is David and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

The village of Gomk, where I lived and worked while volunteering in Armenia, needs our help. Please click on the link to see how just a small contribution on your part can help to make a concrete, lasting change for the better in Gomk. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like more information on Gomk and please forward this along to anyone (friends, neighbors, family, co-workers, whoever) you think would be interested. Thanks! Veronica --- What is Fundable? Fundable.com lets groups of people pool money to make purchases or raise funds. Similar to online auctions, Fundable's collection pages are created by people who use the web site. Each page contains a description of how much money needs to be collected and what it will do. Once enough pledges for a collection have been secured, Fundable turns them into real payments and sends the total to the collection's organizer. If a collection expires before reaching its total in pledges, Fundable deletes all pledges and never charges money.

  20. I was just watching Armenian TV “TEZH ANKYUN” or so was called the programme. There were two guests, two Armenians , one born and grown up in New York the other born and grown up in Manchester, UK. Both guys moved to Armenia and have now settled in the country, run their own business and are rather happy to live there. They were being accused, the audience was accusing them and complaining because the two men went to Armenia with cash and were able to set up a business, something that is very hard for Armenians living in Armenia as they don’t have the initially needed money to set up business too. While discussing the issue, comments were thrown regarding spyurkahays going and buying houses and other goods in Armenia. Apparently spyurkahays buy the best houses which creates conflicts. Hayastantsis are jealous, the fact that spyurkahays go to Armenia, get the top houses and then go back to where they came from is annoying Hayastantsis a great deal. Some suggest that there should be some sort of law, spyurkahays should move to live in Armenia permanently in order to buy houses otherwise they live easy lives abroad and get what they want and people in Armenia suffer. PARSKAHAY, IRAQAHAY, SYRIAHAY, YEGIPTAHAY -HAY HAY HAY, Most importantly we are all Armenians and no matter where one was born, we all remain Armenians, (hopefully). So, I don’t understand where all this fuss and complains come from. End of the day if spyurkahays didn’t exist “akhkatutyun” in Armenia would be greater. What do you people think, should spyurkahays not be allowed to buy goods in Armenia only because they don’t live there or should they have as much rights as Armenians living in Armenia???
  21. A black man goes to Armenia , as soon as he arrives to the airport in Armenia , he realizes he has lost his passport. He looks around and he sees an American passport in the corner of the room on the ground. He picks up the passport and it is Leonardo De Capario's passport, he thinks well it is an American passport and they are foreigners so they might not realize it is not his picture. So his turn came and he approached to the Armenian guy at the counter in immigration, he presented the passport to the guy. The Armenian guy looked at the passport and looked at the black man in amazement, then he turned to his buddy standing next to him and said " araa, ed Titanice, khordagvav te varvav???"
