Arpa Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) ՊԱՏԱՆԴ, ԳՐԱՒ Hostage, RansomWe will get back to what it really means in another item in LANGUAGE. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=13557&st=0&p=165076&hl=hyekhorum&fromsearch=1entry165076 http://www.history.com/shows/pawn-stars This is a total surprise that in the Spanish they use rehen to mean hostage. It is an Arabic word.To not forget another euphemism POW/Prisoner of War.Why am I surprised? Hostage taking is an Arabic custom in particular, and Middle Eastern in general.Consider the 1979 American Embassy in Tehran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisisArmenians are not the exception, when Tigran II sent his namesake son to Parthia as a gesture of good will and a guaranty of non-aggression. Trdat was a hostage in Rome in the same logic.In the same manner, the practice is carried even today in our own modern life. Remember these?http://www.setimes.com/cocoon/setimes/xhtml/en_GB/newsbriefs/setimes/newsbriefs/2010/03/17/nb-03 http://asbarez.com/78347/erdogan-threatens-to-deport-armenians-from-turkey/ To not forget how he intimated that the hostage yewish community in furkey would be in jeopardy, with muffled threats of pogroms or deportation.Lets admit that the so called Armenian community in Bolis is a virtual HOSTAGE. And the current one. I have this feeling that Mr. Fattal may have Armenian connection as there is a large dynasty of old Armenian fattals in Aleppo. See the post under the topic of ALEPPO. http://www.reporter.am/go/article/2009-09-10-dr--fattal-s-free-clinic-logs-40000-patient-visits-in-12-years http://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2011/04/26/2-hikers-jailed-in-Iran-get-May-court-date/UPI-98991303823159/.
