roger Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 a Message from Switzerland-Armenia-Association ---------------------------------------------------------- Armenian communities are devastated now by a second form of genocide stemming from indifference. Do we believe that we should have to wait until the 100th commemmoration of this genocide in order for justice to be served? No! With the passage of time, the Armenian identity is in the process of a gradual dilution due to assimilation and mixed marriages, as people integrate into increasingly diverse societies that are being claimed by the forces of globalization. Its future is thus in great danger. A vital necessity is thus presented before us by these events: a call to all Armenians on the planet to testify and bear witness, as a duty to our collective peace of mind, that the Genocide of 1915 was neither an illusion, nor a point of view. Because our dead had names, and we are going to prove it. This is why we must gather all our energy - as well as your help - to stand back up and conquer this enormous challenge: OUR DEAD STILL HAVE A NAME. In all countries, in all cities, in all villages, on all the streets and on every floor of every building; on the radio, on TV, on the Internet and through the pages of Armenian presses, let us sensitize and raise the awareness of our compatriots to bear witness, in the face of humanity, that our people suffered the unspeakable: a GENOCIDE ! Let us supply the Memorial www.inhomage.com with the names of our sacrificed forefathers as long as their eradication from their ancestral grounds is not officially recongized by the Turkish state. This testimony, on the global level, will contribute to the realization of the international community of the disaster that struck the Armenian people; irrefutable proof issued by the descendants of those who have died – but whose graves are unmarked. By undertaking this action, we maybe able to relieve our children of the heavy burdens of the past, so that they may more thoroughly and freely invest their energies in a better future, and in helping Armenia get on its feet more quickly. Thank you for widely conveying and disseminating this information, in the memory of our martyrs. Thanks to you, the names of more than one million of our brothers and sisters will feature on this Memorial so that their justice will be served. Want the Recognition is natural, but to bring again elements being able to contribute it is our duty. Thank you - for them. Tser ays ararkov, medzaradz bidi ellak mer 1915 tvagani nahadagnére.

Jean ECKIAN Author, Creator of web site Co-organizer of the recording « Aznavour for Armenia » after earthquake of 1988. « The idea is to allow Armenian diaspora to locate the birthplace of ancestors who disappeared during the Genocide, and to enter their names in a database. A second interactive operation allows people to view the names that have been entered, region by region, and make contact with a family from the same place but now living on the other side of the world; a promise for the family to eventually be reunited. » Traductores - Übersetzer > http://www.freetranslation.com/free/ _________________________ With Switzerland-Armenia Association ASA-GSA-SAA, help us fighting denial ! ______________________________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
