Well their statement has had impact unfortunately. Erdogan has recently proposed to the Armenian leadership to form a joint study in order to look further into the history of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey during WW1. He's trumpeted his offer all over the EU and the US as being conciliatory - Bush even referred to this in his statement on April 24th. Don't buy it though - why had they refused up until now to allow international academics and credible historians to study the archives? Only now they have nothing to hide? Hmmmm... something smells funny.

Besides, Armenian, America, German, British & French archives have been open a long time.

There's nothing to discuss. The AG is a historical fact. Whether some more academics have a gander at the turkish archives (or whatever is considered suitable) won't change anything, as many turkish academics as well as turkish-bought academics have already 'studied' the Turkish archives. Accepting to 'study' the situation is akin to admitting that there exists a controversy - or 'two-sides' to the story. There isn't. There's simply fact - and those who use every means of persausion necessary to deny that fact.

It's easy to mess up a search - especially when looking for a subject that should be evident, obvious and at the top of the headlines. Well - I think we were all a little disappointed. The BBC even gave more space and emphasis to the Gallipoli commemoration *which is supposed to be today btw and NOT yesterday, than they did to the AG.

We had nothing in the news here - but a few days ago there was an article on the AG in La Presse. But I did find this report on CTV news: LINK As well as this commemoration - it's actually pretty well done. Web Special on CTV

What an amazing site. Congratulations to Araz Artinian, I'm blown away - and in tears....

YAY! Congratulations Armat jan! And cheers to both your boys My they continue their outstanding accomplishements!!!

Have you guys heard Souren Baronian play duduk? His music is definately non-taditional and he does play clarinate and other reed instruments on his jazz albums... but I think he's pretty good LINK

and i'll gladly join Fadiushka's butt kicking.

you're both welcome :)

I think you're right Vayri - but just to put this thread into context, the the person making the original post is in fact Turkish. He acknowledges the AG, but he claims that the responsibility lies with the jews, in fact, and not the Turks.

There's a nice interview with Peter Balakian (author of The Burning Tigris, and Black Dog of Faith) on the Alternative Radio site.

You're right as usual Azat jan But, when I make the claim that the Catholic church is slow - I specifically put it in context: They are slow to react to problems affecting their followers. Actually, I think that they're quite adept when it comes to administering their own internal affairs.

There is little, if any population growth in Africa. The death rate is soaring. And so the church is 'helping' the problem by telling the NOT to use condoms. Hmmmm... intelligent. Let's see: condoms and sexual education --> slow the spread of HIV 'traditional values' aka 'no condoms permitted' --> rampant spread of HIV Which will be more benficial to the people? BTW, if you're advocating preaching abstinence as a method to slow HIV transmission for an entire continent, then you're still in the stone ages yourself.

I'll have to agree with Armen on this - the Vatican, and the Catholic supremacy in general are slow to act, and often seem ill equipped to deal with real issues facing their faithful in this era. Rallying against contraception (and condoms) in an near-epidemic stricken continent like Africa, is in my opinion, an affront to their own religious values - not to mention immoral. If ignoring the immediate needs of its African congregations while risking huge losses of life for the mere sake of 'traditional values' equates to being a good catholic, then maybe those 'traditional values' are no longer worth upholding. And this is just one example....

Have you looked at Cleaner? I'm not much of a video wiz - but the techs at work do this kind of stuff all the time. I can find out for you....

Azat jan stop! You're going to make me want to but a camcorder!

I'm biased against Sony. And after being burned a few times, I no longer support them/but their products. In all fairness I do not own a miniDV camera, and Sony is well reputed in that field. For good measure, you may want to compare feature sets of similarly priced units made by other brands, say, Canon or JVC.

Bari taredarts Aneta jan!

I'm glad you're having such a wonderful day. Sounds fabulous - hope you got to dance to all that great music! :o Wow! lol - Apart from the obvious jokes... maybe it could be an allergy? I have a friend who's tongue swells up evertime she eats shellfish, or anything containing flax (weird, i know). you may want to look into it... Continue having a great day.

Why does Larry always forfeit?

Happy Birthday Harout! Bari Taredarts!

Armjan - where did you find this article? Most of these 'attacks' are easily preventable. SysAdmins and Webmasters must continue to be vigilant, especially when the sites they operate are potential 'targets'.

Things are going from bad to worse for the liberals. I've heard that one of the 'behind the scenes' culprits has a favourable view of Armenians and is a supporter Armenian causes - he's even travelled to Iran and Armenia. I'm not too sure about this though... it matters little anyway, it seems that he's a crook.

We do? LOL
