-------------------------------- The proper thing to do is a "cas de conscience". You risk your life !

----------------------------------------- Yes the power corrupts the leaders, we had so many examples, but where are the weaks corrupted by power ? Very few of them are.

---------------------------------------- You have always encouraged Armenians to do compromise and consensus without a trace of hatred and to share understanding, to be humble, and so on, it seems that Hrant Dink was exactly what you recommended… May be he was not in a civilized context ? I have a friend in Istanbul, I asked him why he staid there, why not go in another country, he replied: this is our country.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ If he is Armenian, he should not be in this topic "diaspora" If he was American of English, he would not have a knife in his pocket

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- A verbal violence kills nobody TheTurks are proud to be Turks. They repeat it a school every morning, even in the armenian schools, the children are forced to say that.

-------------------------------- I just looked again, there are only 4 pieces of art in the armenian department: http://www.museu.gulbenkian.pt/nucleos.asp...=a5&lang=pt the medal is no more here. It has been in another department. I'll try to find it. http://www.gulbenkian.org/portal/index.html

------------------------------ without google > Edo ?

----------------------------------------- The Armenians had not the right to have weapons. But even if they had the right, they would not go looting . Their wealth came from their work.

------------------------------------ As long as your parents and grand-parents have transmitted to you the love of Armenia, even if themselves have never been there, and you too have never been there, if you feel interested in what happens in Armenia, if you feel a sort of foreigner in the country which has made welcome to your parents, even if you like that country,if you have received the culture of that country, but when you meet an Armenian, you feel happy (Willian Saroyan has explained that feeling when he met an Armenian in Rostov in a beer parlor), even if you are sometimes disappointed, still you have a feeling of sympathy for Armenian people, do you call that nationalism ? or is there another word ?

---------------------------------------- Nationalism is not activism ; I do no harm to anybody. The source of all wars and even our genocide has been the cupidity of our ennemies. They wanted to eliminate us and take our properties. Louise

----------------------------------------- I believe only armenian history, or my parents', or Raymond Kevorkian 's, Vahakn Dadrian's, they have studied directly the sources. The other countries historians are not objective.

--------------- it looks like turkish - zayi (lost)

------------------------ question: is it a medicine against bite of mosquito ? or a bad medicine ?

----------------- in French > hippopotame

----------------------- thank you, I learn armenian with you ! In French > requin as for pike > brochet

---------------------------------- Very interesting ! I had never thought of the meaning of that word...

-------------------------- I just have a question about recovering properties in Turkey ! Have you ever heard of an Armenian able to recover his properties stolen in 1915 par Turks ? He has all the papers proving the possession. He will ask a lawer to recover that for him. Everybody in the (French) forum say it is impossible. Louise
