Arpa Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 (edited) Famous Armenian? Why not! He has to be. After all, he is closer to us geographivcally than Ohan Sebastian (Bach). Notice the "ian"? :) He has resurfaced Btw , the following is a good read about the "Islamic Bomb". Go to the full article about the "bomb merchant", aka A Q Khan. According to a recent blurb on one of the news media Iran may already havie it. Below, an extremely chopped up version. For an update read this; http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101050214/wiran.html Iran says has clinched `most positive` UN nuclear deal ever IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency Tehran, Nov 29, IRNA -- Iran welcomed Monday a revised draft resolution, prepared by the Europeans which is due to be presented to the world nuclear watchdog in Vienna later in the day. Top nuclear negotiator ]b]Hossein Moussavian[/b] gloated after having `all the basic modifications` demanded by Tehran written into the draft text, describing it as `the most positive resolution` ====== "This could save us from subsequent manipulations, including pinning Iran to lack of commitment (to its obligations," Moussavian added. ====== The United States is trying to convince the world of its allegations that Tehran`s nuclear program is a front to build atomic weapons, and pave the way for referral of Iran to the UN Security Council for possible sanctions. ====== over 80 percent of Tehran`s exports to the EU. Iran also sells agricultural products -- mainly pistachios -- as well as textiles and carpets to the EU.

Nakharar Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Rejoice! I found another famous Armenian. His complexion doesn't quite match, but again one of us made it big. Don't even dare tell me that this is a coincidence. http://www.journeytolasta.com/images/bio_wondu.gif WONDWOSSEN D. DIKRAN Writer & Director Born and raised in Addis Ababa, WONDWOSSEN graduated from Saint Joseph's School and made his way to the United States. After living in the East Coast for two years, he took the opportunity to study Film Production and screenwriting at Southern California's Chapman University. After making a couple of experimental shorts, Wondwossen helmed the award winning short "Concrete Jungle". With the festival success of the short, Wondwossen spent the next few years working in production on numerous reality shows for network and cable television such as MTV, NBC,V-H1, The Sci-fi channel amongst others. His first big break came with a video he directed this past year for hip-hop guru 2MEX of East L.A.'s own The Visionaries. The video "Fernandomania" quickly climbed the MTVU and MTV2 charts, hitting number 1 for three weeks straight and staying in the top ten for a total of 12 weeks. After the success of "Fernandomania", Wondwossen wrote and directed his first feature film titled "Journey to Lasta" for Reel Image Pictures. He is currently finishing up post-production on the feature and teaming up with Producer Jake Deptula to produce a horror genre film for Director Olumide Odebunmi http://www.journeytolasta.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 (edited) As long as we are talking about our distant cousins, removed by a million miles, here is another one. http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~naras/ In fact there is one in our neighborhood by that name and his colleagues simply call him Dr. Bala. Based on this latter one my impression was that they were all Sri Lankan. When I met him and asked him if he had received any solicitations from the Armenian churhes , he laughed and kind of hinted that he wished the Armenians would leave him alone and stop calling him night after night inviting to one commemoration or other. Some time ago one of the Armenian church directories(picked out from the local phone directory) had listed him as a potential member and a contributor. To carry this silliness one step further, when you open the above URL scroll down an see what this "Armenian' system"is; "I am interested in Bayesian Computing and the paper: Bayesian Poission Regression: Sensitivity Analysis through Dynamic Graphics Edited February 19, 2005 by Arpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
