Hello & welcome, We've discussed it HERE.

Vergine: Please have a look at our code of conduct. It seems that you cannot hold civilized discussion without resorting to taunts, insults, ridicule etc. This is the last time I ask you....

zareh jan - what are you talking about?

I've heard positive things about it - but I haven't actually heard the whole album.... I'll reserve any comments until then.

off topic I know, but Kakachik, would you happen to have a larger image of your avatar? I'd love to see more detail...

Shaunt, feel free to report offensive posts if you do so happen to see them. The mods can't always be on-line

Azg, nation, race, it all means the same thing fundamentally. Anahit, I agree with you 100%. Btw, do you speak chinese? Wow. that is impressive

Thank you Domino - this is the third such article I,ve read in the weeks since the 90th anniversary of the Genocide. If all goes well, once the Turkish academia begins to write of such things, perhaps there will be 'an awaken' amongts the Turkish populi... we'll have to see.

It's unfortunate, but true - I've found quite frequently that PanArmenian has the credibility of a fly.

Further to Edward's note: Racist and/or discriminatory material will not be tolerated here. Those of you who feel compelled to disseminate your propaganda will quickly find yourselves removed from our memberlist. If you wish to talk about Armenians, you're more than welcome. On the other hand, if you are so one track minded that all you can speak of are jews, I'm sure there are other forums (white supremists, neo-nazis, etc.) that will welcome you with open arms. You've been cautioned.

10K for blow-up screen???? :o Wow! I'm in the wrong business

Good point. As I mentioned earlier - I'm not really up to speed as to the TARC's mandate, nor their legalese statement. My guess is that they are saying that legally, based on their preliminary findings, the genocide convention DOES apply to the crimes in question. As to whether a complete, exhaustive, historical analysis was actually executed (one that satisfies both sides of participants) that remains to be determined. I figure, this was the only sort of compromise that the TARC could possibly arrive at - in other words, somewhat of a stalemate.

That doesn't surprise me. Usually these things end up as popularity meters - half the time it means nothing at all... I doubt we'll have one here. (but never say never, i suppose)

wh00t, I think this is probably what's missing (I got this form the same site - in the intro): They explicit point out, that no comprehensive historical analysis has been carried out. I was under the same impression as Stormig, that the TARC initiative had amounted to nothing. That remains to be seen it seems.

You're absolutely right whoot - (welcome back, again, btw) On a side note, do you know where we can get any information on the findings of the TARC commission? I really don't know too much about it; if the findings were favourable, why were so many Armenians upset with the commission and the whole process?

Interesting perspective Domino, but do you actually feel that the Turkish establishment distinguishes between 'diasporan' Armenia, and Armenia? Surely any political pressure Turkey is under with regards to the Armenian 'question' and their prospective EU membership has been brought on by 'diasporan' Armenia. So who exactly would they address if they were to attempt to create dialog with 'diasporan' Armenia, if not Armenia herself?

As I mentioned above, I'm undecided as to whether this tactic of 'opening dialogue' between Armenians and Turks, is worth putting into question the Historic fact that is the AG. However, I do find that the Zoryan letter above is well worded, and merely advocates an exchange of 'points-of-view' - and not as Erdogan's statement had suggested, agreement to 'study the events' of 1915.

I received this Press Release from the Zoryan Institute - which includes the text of an open letter to Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan. I though it was relevant in this thread:

Interesting this ATIK - in english it's the Confederation of Workers from Turkey in Europe. Here's a bit of their manifesto: They also refer to NATO as that "Bloody Organization of Imperialism' I guess we all know what that means...

ike! Don't do that!! SugarLink here!

Vahag jan, welcome to HF - you've done a wonderful job on the armenica site. It's going to take me a serious amount of time to go though it all Thanks once again, hope you're able to stick around.

Hi Zareh, welcome

That's news to me - the forum script has the fucntion, but it's never been activated here.

Any more racist, hateful, discriminitory comments wil be met with warnings/bannings as necessary. If you want to post here, respect the code of conduct, this thread is closed.

I'm doing just fine... gearing up for summer thanks! Hope all is well on your side the earth.
