I must be honest. I am a Turk phobic. I saw this in me very clearly when watching mind you, travel reportage on Turkey. They showed Saint Sofia and I am cursing, Darn it! They stole it from the Greeks! They showed architectural gems such as Dolbashi palace but fail to say Armenian Architect family Balians built it. I am watching all the usual compliments about the Turks, good food, great hospitality and so on but wait something is not right, they do not mention anything about Armenians or Greeks but plenty about Ataturk and his victories. I was disappointed that the report was successful in it’s intend to attract many tourists who are more interested in food and carpets then real history about the place. So in conclusion I was visibly in foul mood just by watching this program hence I am still Turk phobic. Regards Rubo

I am glad to be part of this forum and I am looking forward to "meet" you all.Some of you already know me as Argishti from other forums.TB I hope you are doing fine. Regards to all

The impression I get is that Armenia does not have a solid mechanism to protect its interests in Jerusalem and Washington. Our patriarchi deserves our support and no way I will settle for unjust confiscation of our properties and lands in Israel. They have been confiscating Arab lands for years and this practice is not new! Interestingly Israeli Occupiers in West bank and Gaza are called settlers! How absurd. They go and occupy a land, build mini island states within sea of Arabs and they are called peace-loving Settlers. This is another twist of ironies of media brainwashing. Voghjuin bolorin Argishti

Thanks guys for welcoming me here. I feel at home.

Personally I believe all religions are just that religions! The only person that I feel speaks for me is Gurdjief who was half Greek and half Armenian. His "system" is the fourth way. His basic point is to awaken people from their mechanical sleep and be the source of God consciousness instead of repeating verses without insight. Many priests and other religious figures have long seized to understand what they are preaching. Allegory and mythology have taken up literary by ignorant "spiritual” leaders as truth. It is far from it. I am yet to meet a truly spiritually awaken priest but I have meet many verse reciters. “A man may be born, but in order to be born he must first die , and in order to die he must first awake." Gurdjief Regards Argishti
