Dear Arpa, Copying and mimicking is the best form of complement and attestation, for the originality and loveliness of the work ! Even if they try to pass it as their own, IT STILL REMAINS PLAGIARIZED COPY! The more they do it, the more it shows their creative poverty... Best wishes Garo

My two cents worth of theory re: divorce rates in the west... I have on previous occasion alluded to the fact that the breakup of families was an orchestrated plan to create consumers... The production lines were coming to a halt in the 60s as the market was saturated with consumer goods...with no prospective buyers in sight! The suburban sprawls around cities were totally saturated with goods! One upmenships amongst the neighbours had aided for this saturation... BUY NOW PAY LATER WAS ALSO A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR! The corporate America needed new consumers... Hollywood was the instigating vehicle, via half hour TV programs, that displayed a new approach to the pillow games! Brady bunch is a good example, the new formed family was the result of two breakups! As usual everything found perfect solutions within the half hour of this hollywoodian scenarios... Hey we can also break up and form a new family... became a wished goal, specifically amongst all the couples where passion had dissappeared from the heart and home. As if by coincidence... the feminist emencipaton was also prominently playing a part in pressuring women to question their roles as homemakers IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES. Mind you the propaganda was at it's height, brain washing the women about the so called exploitation of the females/mothers... by the males!!!!! The attack on the families bore fruits... the divorce rates went through the roof in the late seventies in the west, and the production lines were back in business... Today the burden on our fairfolks is greater then ever! They must now juggle a career as well as home life...an impossible task! No wonder the pressures eventually drive a nail through the marriage/union... and soon enough the bubble bursts... The poor offspring become either ping pongs or ward of state! Indeed a very sad state of affairs! Therefore, I say, Yes get your own family and if it's "kismet" you will be luckiest being on earth...IF NOT ,TRY AGAIN IF YOU HAVE THE GUTS!

Once more Amnesty Internationa...l UK via BBC has found a new cause, belittling Armenia as a backward Woman Abusing nation...! HOW VAGUE ARE THE DATA SOURCES QUOTED... IS LEFT RATHER OBSCUR! Interviews with some woman? I bet if I went to UK I will also find scores of women that will report physical abuse they were subjected to within their families... If you do not beleive me...All you have to do is read about the Queens' family history!!!!!!! Why do they single out Armenia? It's obvious...Armenia is in the way of BP (Brit Petrol) exploiting caucasian resources unabated! It was so in late 1800's and early 1900's and still Armenians (Mantashov, an Oil mogul in Baku) as well as a scores of others, (Gulbenkian Mr. 5% fame comes to mind) were a thorn in the British Lion's throat... TODAY ARTSAKH IS THE THORN! When will the cabals that are so hateful towards Armenia... leave us in peace and alone? Will they ever?

Lamentations a la Naregatsi, (humbly begging his pardon for daring). Was it that on three occasions My youthful amorous feelings were ridiculed By fair Armenian maidens... That I ended in the embrace of ODARS? Thirty two years of endurance With hope of redemption Was for naught... Was it waste? Did paternal curse play out... Or was it lust that enslaved my soul... Rending me blind to the core Making me adamant seeker... Pursuing a noble union of hearts A heart that was dead warmed over... Full of hateful revange due to past abuse... Towards the other half of the family? How cruel is turning ones'own children... Aliens to their father? Did nature create such mothers UNFIT for motherhood? Why this kismet of sufferance... The non access to ones' descendents... Why carry on... if this deprivation is applied by LAW(sick western law)... Not witnessing the growing up of grand children... Surely no life sentence can be a match to this torment... Never mind that psycho/babel tags are put on people... To assassinate character then... Watch them fade away in lamentable existance Wandering homless clochards? Well this one will put up with all the cruelty dished out ... Will wellcome with open arms the enemity and hateful onsloth forever! As the love inherent in my genes... Will triumph unabated in the end! Babigi ayradz serdi mekhitarank...shnourks Naregatsiin.

As they say colours and tastes are not discussable subjects... For my taste Arame and Hayko surpass Aznavour duo with hands down! The youth with feeling that gave me goose pimples!

SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

In 1956 Sarukhan was visiting Beyrouth. He came to our high school to give us a talk...afterwards the selected caricatures from the student body were presented to him. I happened to be amongst the few that were lucky to have been selected...Our mentor was painter Paul Guiragossian of the "NAFAS". Sarukhan's praise of Kevo Kharabian's caricature of our principle, was an extraordinary feat, earning Kevo the unenviable title of "artist" with typical teenager sus-entendu connotations attached... My poor Kevo friend, who was forever a foreigner because of his Palestinian status in Lebanon, served his apprenticship with Korolef, the Russian painter of many of the Lebanese postal stamps fame. Kevo went on to become a famous furniture creator in Denmark as well as a painter of oils...His premature death at age thirty, left behind a mourning Danish wife as well as a son who today operates a creative advertizing company in Copenhaguen called Caribean...a word play of Kharabian...Some of Kevo's creations still pay royalties to his inheritors...and the last praiswothy article written in the Danish National papers had as title "The forever Foreigner" I still have my caricature with a few words of encouragement from Sarukhan, to pursue an artistic career . Already in Aleppo, my father was a fan of Sarukhan and many laughs were had in our family due to the post 2nd world war booklet of caricatures that Sarukhan published in Egypt.

How very grand of the British prime minister to utter words... as usual with miryad interpretations! Were they not the original instigators of creating conflicts in the south Caicasus in the 1st world war? Petrol was in demand then as it is today! When will this wasp faction leave the people in peace? Who ever gave them the divinity to presume wisdom? They are nothing but selfish and egocentric economic interests pursuers of non-compare! All you have to do is to remember the famous utterence of a renowned past prime minister who nearly a century and half ago said this; WE HAVE NO FRIENDS OR ENEMIES, WE HAVE ECONOMIC INTRESTS AS OUR ULTIMATE GOAL AND END GAME. Is this not clear to all and sundry? What the wasps are seeking with all their diplomatic gingoism... is nothing but blowing send in the eyes of the ignorents, to confuse and divide them, so that they can lead them down the rosy path of self destrustion! Pied pipers of the RATS.

Isn't it about time to question... where was th US dragging the globe with her strangle hold of the economies, based upon monopoly green backs with no backing at all? The Federal Reserve ( a privately owned company) can print unabated, pieces of paper... not worth the ink it's printed with... Declines and death of empires historically are soooooooo very similar! There is subline justice after all in the end for all those exploiters of people! They disintigrate and dissappear temporarily! Hydras are very hard to slay with just one blow...

Does this mean anything at one time or other is acceptable? Not for my philosophy... There can only be one very thin line, path, that is morally and socially applicable and acceptable behaviour for mankind to be honored as humans worthy for that designation... Today I am ashamed to be called a human in this present day swamp... we collectively call advanced civilization! I would rather be called a canibal than modern man! What an OXIMORON expression is the following... It was killed humanely.,.. justifying killing? Ho yertas mart araradz?

I can never have enough of gaelic sounding music that reminds me so much our ancestral "meghetees"...Enya comes to mind!
