Replying to MENQ MARD CHENQ DARNA MENK MARD EXEL ENK, KANK, EV KLINENK. Every time when I open Hyeforumm to read some news, this post is striking me down, and finally I couldn’t stand it anymore. Not because I am excusing this hunting, but because some people are only criticizers, they are seeing only negative action and saving to say nice words even on some small good deals. Don’t you know that the words are fixed thoughts that stay in around and get worse words to make the things very bad? It looks like when you ‘re driving and dripped on somebody street mud, and the other did the same, and the other again and again, the dirty man on the street loses his face, he is just a dirty man or the image of the dirty nation. Many and many posters are talking about negative actions of the authorities. Is anyone written himself or combined letter to the “ishkhanutun”, why the hunting on the animal registered in the “Red Book” is allowed? What I am saying is that our help is need there in a country, which could be as a letter to the authorities on the wrong thing in Armenia, or just a visit, or give some money to many children family or orphans, or to smile and talk to an Armenian man or woman in a country, who without having things to eat will invite you home and offer their last piece of food. I did talk to Armenian woman in Florida, and she proudly said that she contributed $5 to the church. I didn’t say that is not much, but just thought that next time she’ll give more. Believe me, this is an encouragement for our countrymen, they would feel that there are people far away, who think about them and maybe, somehow would be on their back. I was there, I am from there, and this is real situation before, in 1988 and now. So, if we could open “Club of Deals” not the talks, and tell the readers our real positive action-investments in any way to our country Armenia($5 is also good), we’ll prove that MENK MARD ENK, EXEL ENK, EV KLINENK. Are there any other proposals?

APRICOT FRUIT Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Rosales Family: Rosaceae Genus: Prunus Subgenus: Prunus Section: Armeniaca Species: P. armeniaca Binomial name Prunus armeniaca L. The Apricot (Prunus armeniaca, "Armenian plum" in Latin, syn. Armeniaca vulgaris Lam., Armenian: Ծիրան "Tsiran") is a species of Prunus, classified with the plum in the subgenus Prunus. The native range is somewhat uncertain due to its extensive prehistoric cultivation, but most likely is India.[1] Description Apricot tree in Central Cappadocia, Turkey It is a small tree, 8–12 m tall, with a trunk up to 40 cm diameter and a dense, spreading canopy. The leaves are ovate, 5–9 cm long and 4–8 cm wide, with a rounded base, a pointed tip and a finely serrated margin. The flowers are 2–4.5 cm diameter, with five white to pinkish petals; they are produced singly or in pairs in early spring before the leaves. The fruit is a drupe similar to a small peach, 1.5–2.5 cm diameter (larger in some modern cultivars), from yellow to orange, often tinged red on the side most exposed to the sun; its surface is usually pubescent. The single seed is enclosed in a hard stony shell, often called a "stone", with a grainy, smooth texture except for three ridges running down one side.[2][3] Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz) Energy 50 kcal 200 kJ Carbohydrates 11 g - Sugars 9 g - Dietary fiber 2 g Fat 0.4 g Protein 1.4 g Vitamin A equiv. 96 μg 11% - beta-carotene 1094 μg 10% Vitamin C 10 mg 17% Iron 0.4 mg 3% Percentages are relative to US recommendations for adults.

Source: USDA Nutrient database The Apricot was first cultivated in India in about 3000 BC.[1] In Armenia it was known from ancient times; having been brought along the Silk Road;[1] it has been cultivated there so long it is often thought to be native there.[4][5] Its introduction to Greece is attributed to Alexander the Great,[1] and the Roman General Lucullus (106-57 B.C.E.) also exported some trees, cherry, white heart cherry and apricot from Armenia to Europe. Subsequent sources were often much confused over the origin of the species. Loudon (1838) believed it had a wide native range including Armenia, Caucasus, the Himalaya, China and Japan.[6] Nearly all sources presume that because it is named armeniaca, the tree must be native to or have originated in Armenia as the Romans knew it. For example, De Poerderlé asserts: "Cet arbre tire son nom de l'Arménie, province d'Asie, d'où il est originaire et d'où il fut porté en Europe ...." ("this tree takes its name from Armenia, province of Asia, where it is native, and whence it was brought to Europe ....")[7] There is no scientific evidence to support such a view. Today the cultivars have spread to all parts of the globe with climates that support it. Apricots have been cultivated in Persia since antiquity, and dried ones were an important commodity on Persian trade routes. Apricots remain an important fruit in modern-day Iran where they are known under the common name of Zard-ālū (Persian: زردالو). Egyptians usually dry apricot and sweeten it then use it to make a drink called "'amar al-dīn". More recently, English settlers brought the apricot to the English colonies in the New World. Most of modern American production of apricots comes from the seedlings carried to the west coast by Spanish missionaries. Almost all U.S. production is in California, with some in Washington and Utah.[8]. Many apricots are also cultivated in Australia, particularly South Australia where they are commonly grown in the region known as the Riverland and in a small town called Mypolonga in the Lower Murray region of the state. In states other than South Australia apricots are still grown, particularly in Tasmania and western Victoria and southwest New South Wales, but they are less common than in South Australia. Dried organic apricot, produced in Turkey. The colour is dark because it has not been treated with sulfur dioxide (E220). Although often thought of as a "subtropical" fruit, this is actually false - the Apricot is native to a continental climate region with cold winters, although can grow in Mediterranean climates very well. The tree is slightly more cold-hardy than the peach, tolerating winter temperatures as cold as −30 °C or lower if healthy. The limiting factor in apricot culture is spring frosts: They tend to flower very early, around the time of the vernal equinox even in northern locations like the Great Lakes region, meaning spring frost often kills the flowers. Furthermore, the trees are sensitive to temperature changes during the winter season. In their native China, winters can be very cold, but temperatures tend to be more stable than in Europe and especially North America, where large temperature swings can occur in winter. The trees do need some winter cold (even if minimal) to bear and grow properly and do well in Mediterranean climate locations since spring frosts are less severe but there is some cool winter weather to allow a proper dormancy. The dry climate of these areas is best for good fruit production. Hybridisation with the closely related Prunus sibirica (Siberian Apricot; hardy to −50°C but with less palatable fruit) offers options for breeding more cold-tolerant plants.[9] Apricot cultivars are most often grafted on plum or peach rootstocks. A cutting of an existing apricot plant provides the fruit characteristics such as flavour, size, etc., but the rootstock provides the growth characteristics of the plant. Apricots and plums can hybridize with each other and produce fruit that are variously called pluots, plumcots, or apriums. There is an old adage that an apricot tree will not grow far from the mother tree. The implication is that apricots are particular about the soil conditions in which they are grown. They prefer a well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0 to 7.0. If fertilizer is needed, as indicated by yellow-green leaves, then 1/4 pound of 10-10-10 fertilizer should be applied in the second year. Granular fertilizer should be scattered beneath the branches of the tree. An additional 1/4 pound should be applied for every year of age of the tree in early spring, before growth starts. Apricots are self-compatible and do not require pollinizer trees, with the exception of the 'Moongold' and 'Sungold' cultivars, which can pollinate each other. Apricots are susceptible to numerous bacterial diseases including bacterial canker and blast, bacterial spot and crown gall. They are susceptible to an even longer list of fungal diseases including brown rot, Alternaria spot and fruit rot, and powdery mildew. Other problems for apricots are nematodes and viral diseases, including graft-transmissible problems. Turkey (Malatya region) is the leading apricot producer, followed by Iran. In Armenia apricots are grown in Ararat Valley. Kernels Seeds or kernels of the apricot grown in central Asia and around the Mediterranean are so sweet that they may be substituted for almonds. The Italian liqueur Amaretto and amaretti biscotti are flavoured with extract of apricot kernels rather than almonds. Oil pressed from these cultivars has been used as cooking oil. Medicinal and non-food uses Cyanogenic glycosides (found in most stone fruit seeds, bark, and leaves) are found in high concentration in apricot seeds. Laetrile, a purported alternative treatment for cancer, is extracted from apricot seeds. As early as the year 502, apricot seeds were used to treat tumors, and in the 17th century, apricot oil was used in England against tumors and ulcers. However, in 1980 the National Cancer Institute in the USA described laetrile to be an ineffective cancer treatment. In Europe, apricots were long considered an aphrodisiac, and were used in this context in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and as an inducer of childbirth, as depicted in John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi. Due to their high fiber to volume ratio, dried apricots are sometimes used to relieve constipation or induce diarrhea. Effects can be felt after eating as few as three. Research shows that of any food, apricots possess the highest levels and widest variety of carotenoids. Carotenoids are antioxidants that help prevent heart disease, reduce "bad cholesterol" levels, and protect against cancer[citation needed]. In traditional Chinese medicine, apricots are considered helpful in regenerating body fluids, detoxifying, and quenching thirst Some claim that the kernels also have healthy properties, including toning the respiratory system and alleviating a cough[citation needed]. However, the tip of the apricot holds a concentrated amount of the chemical laetrile, which can be upsetting to the system. The tips of the seeds should be removed and consumption should be limited to no more than five a day. Etymology The scientific name armeniaca was first used by Gaspard Bauhin in his Pinax Theatri Botanici (page 442), referring to the species as mala armeniaca "Armenian apple". Most believed and many still believe that it came from Pliny the Elder; however, it is not used by Pliny or any other classical author, even in Late Latin. Linnaeus took up Bauhin's epithet in the first edition of his Species Plantarum in 1753. A popular name for this species is apricock. The epithet probably is derived from an etymological identification of a tree mentioned in Pliny with the apricot. Pliny says "We give the name of apples (mala) ... to peaches (persica) and pomegranates (granata) ...."[14] Later in the same section he states "The Asiatic peach ripens at the end of autumn, though an early variety (praecocia) ripens in summer - these were discovered within the last thirty years ...." From this praecocia comes the standard etymology of "apricot". The classical authors connected armeniaca with praecocia:[15] Pedanius Dioscorides' "... Ἀρμενιακὰ, Ῥωμαιστὶ δὲ βρεκόκκια"[16] and Martial's "Armeniaca, et praecocia latine dicuntur". Putting together the Armeniaca and the mala obtains the well-known epithet, but there is no evidence the ancients did it; Armeniaca alone meant the apricot.

"Armenia and Information war Submitted by Edmond on Wed, 2009-07-29 15:57. Baku not skimp in distorting Armenian history 29.07.2009 17:06 GMT+04:00 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Since Soviet times Azerbaijan leads the anti-Armenian propaganda and distort the history. In recent years, the distortion of historical facts and strengthening the anti-Armenian propaganda became a huge scale, since for poisoning the consciousness of Azerbaijan’s people Baku makes major investments. Ruben Galichian, the Honorary Consul of Armenia in London in 1992-2000, author of books on the history and cartography, said, "At present, the Azerbaijani side publishes books and articles in English language with anti-Armenian content and presents them free to well-known universities, libraries and public entities around the world. The Armenian side has not taken any steps to stop the process of misrepresentation. Time passes and the libraries of the world will exhibit only book representing interests and approaches of Azerbaijan." Ruben Galichian has decided to publish his book "Imaginary History of Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan and Armenia, Myths and Facts”. “In my book, I touched upon the history of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 1918, gave the historical arguments that define what is Agvank and Azerbaijan (Caucasian Albania)". According to him, Baku does not hesitate to misappropriate Armenian Churches, allegedly saying that they were built by the Albanians, who allegedly were their ancestors. With all this, Ruben Galichian stressed that today there are many scientific studies showing that the Armenians have lived in Nagorno-Karabakh for more than 4 thousand years. In the book the author has presented the facts and photographs testifying destruction of Armenian churches and monuments in the territory of today's Azerbaijan and Nakhichevan, destruction of Armenian cross stones (khachkars) in Old Djugha and Armenian cemetery in Baku. “Today, Armenia inform the international community about the policy of Azerbaijan, appeal to international courts to protect its cultural heritage and to suspend the distortion of the Armenian history by Baku,” Ruben Galichian emphasized. http://www.panarmenian.net/news/eng/?nid=34924 replyfrom Canada .Armenians and the information War Submitted by Edmond on Wed, 2009-07-29 14:09. I agree with this article. Additionally, we Armenians are also losing the information war to Turkey and Azerbaijan. Our leaders seem to not fight back. It may not be the best place to post this, but I'd like to stress that through the internet Armenians can have an impact. On a daily basis, they can reach others and counter the propaganda and false information that is being fed to people who do not know our situation. There are several Armenian Forums where valuable informative items are posted. Young Armenians can benefit from them, and get advice too. Hyeclub Forum http://forum.hyeclub.com/index.php is an example. In addition to very seasoned Armenians there are many young intelligent patriotic young people hungry for information. I know the moderators, and they will welcome the high caliber Armenians such as you people in Keghart. My user name at Hyeclub is Eddo211. I am just a regular member, not a moderator, doing my best to keep the ill intenioned Turks and Azeris out of there. This is not meant to be an advertisement; it's just a friendly invitation. I sometimes reference discussions from Keghart in Hyeclub, because I think it is important to educate and inform our younger and not so young Armenians who like to stay active and make a difference. Edmond. replyfrom Canada" This information I did get from the Dikran Abrahamian's website devoted to community activities Keghart.com. I was thinking about information war always. Can we organize and start an aggressive campaign to balance or win this information war? Why not? I am the new member of HyeForum, read days and nights and admire of the priceless information on the pages of this forum. But that's not enough. We have to keep the enemies (and not only) informed about of all this. Every hour, every day. Make a list of all their popular sites and not only their but also neutral world scientific centers, keep informed them all of this info on HF website. Don't seat like coach-potato. I do promise to give some of my time to this work. We need only organizers. I see there are so many young people here. Just start and you'll see how many will come up with help. Varvaravan .

this is the site I am talking about. varvaravan. Talk:Aratta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Section removed...|Mythical Aratta|Cambridge History...|Messages copied... 2 Mythical Aratta. 3 Cambridge History of Iran ... 9 More statements by Witzel re:Aratta. 9.1 Arbitrary break. 9.2

First of all, I would like to thank HyeForum and A. Movsisyan, G.Nazaryan and M. Gavoukjian and all others for helping to make an ArattaKingdom site. This is incredible and we need more and more that kind of sites to lighten up the somehow wiped off ancient Armenia's history. Besides that, a few days ago I was searching on Wikipedia regarding Aratta and read how the user and one of administrators disputing regarding Aratta and A.Movsisyan. There was about A. Movsisyan being as a nationalist historian and Armenian pseudohistory an dthat his books and M. Gavoukjian's also are out of sale and not accessible to verify the information in their books. (You can check it on that site the line says break1,break2). I was astonished by the tone and this very subjective approach. I am not very proficient in ancient history of Armenia, can't make any comments. But it must be. Can any of Minor Asia specialists see what is going on at that site of Wikipedia. Just open up Aratta. And again thanks to all of organizers. Varvaravan.
