Armenian National Committee of Canada
For Immediate Release
ANCC Condemns the Turkish Government Ottawa-Within hours after The Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the Turkish government went on the offensive and demanded the Israeli government to “deliver”American Jewish organizations and to ensure that the US Congress does not pass a resolution characterizing as genocide the massacre of Armenians during World War I. (more) Armenian National Committee of Canada
For Immediate Release
Turkey Pressures Israel to Persuade US Ottawa—The Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Armenian Genocide denial campaign and its lobbying on behalf of the Turkish government to block the passage of the United States House of Representatives and Senate resolutions to recognize the Armenian Genocide has turned into an international issue causing turmoil in human rights organizations and in Jewish communities. The upheaval came to light after the town council of Watertown, Mass. voted unanimously to cut its ties with the ADL and its nation-wide program “No Place for Hate.” (more)

Truth Prevails over Millions Spent
By Turks to Lie about the Genocide
By Harut Sassounian
Publisher, The California Courier
It took a little more than a year and a half, but it was well worth the wait. After lengthy, sometimes complex, but mostly amicable discussions, the European edition of TIME magazine, in its Feb. 12, 2007 issue, published a full-page text on the Armenian Genocide and distributed a complimentary DVD,
in English and French, which contains a compelling 52-minute documentary on the Armenian Genocide by French director Laurence Jourdan. The DVD also includes a 46-minute interview with Dr. Yves Ternon, a leading expert on the
Armenian Genocide. (more)

22 January 2007
One of the last days of 2005...About 15 of us are standing with champagne glasses in our hands. During the year we are trying to leave behind, almost
all of us have been blamed for "stabbing the nation on its back"; some have been tried in courts, but only two in the group have been found "guilty." One is
Hrant, the other is Yektan. What a coincidence: both of their "punishments" have been postponed. The message is clear. "Shut up or else..." (more)

KILL BILL
By Khatchig Mouradian
After killing Hrant Dink, the Turkish state is now trying to capitalize on
his funeral to kill the Genocide bill in the U.S. Congress.
***
The Turkish state killed Dink.
Dink's murder is the culmination of nine decades of denying of the Armenian
Genocide; of suppressing and silencing minorities; of brainwashing Turkish
youth by propagating Genocide denial in Turkish textbooks; of labeling
people who dare speak even a portion of the truth as "enemies of the state,"
"backstabbers" and "traitors," and persecuting them under Article 301 for
"insulting Turkishness." (more)

An Interview with Etyen Mahcupyan
By David Barsamian
The Armenian Weekly
July 14, 2007
The following interview with Agos editor Etyen Mahcupyan was conducted in Istanbul in late June.
David Barsamian-Tell me about Agos.
Etyen Mahcupyan-Agos has a history of 10 years and it is the paper of the [Turkish-Armenian] community. It began with the aim of opening up the windows and doors of the community to the public at large, and bringing the
Turkish public into the community-understanding its problems and becoming familiar with how an Armenian and a non-Muslim live in Turkey. I think that goal has been mostly achieved in the past decade, when Hrant was here.
In fact, he was thinking of making Agos more like a Turkish newspaper, that is, liberating it from the communitarian bonds. This is what we are trying
to do right now. The changes in the newspaper were already conceived by Hrant and myself through several discussions last year. But we were thinking of making those changes in the autumn, because this is an election year and we have several problems. But fate led us to make all those changes in February. (more)

When I read the press release issued by the United Armenian Fund (UAF) saying that $4.5 million would be allocated to the Armenian schools in Lebanon, my mind went blank for a while. I had left Lebanon shortly after what became known as the “34-day War” in the summer of 2006, and I was deeply concerned about the economic hardships the Lebanese in general and the Lebanese-Armenians in particular were facing.

The following interview was broadcast Monday, 12 February night on Australia’s National Broadcaster; the ABC.
Professor outlines Armenian connection to Gallipoli
Reporter: Mark Colvin
MARK COLVIN: What links the first genocide of the 20th century with the battle most often cited as defining the birth of Australia's national identity?
The genocide was the Turkish massacre of the Armenians; the battle was Gallipoli.
And what they have in common is that they both started on almost the same day, within a few hundred kilometres of each other.
Why don't we know this as a nation? That's the question posed in an essay by Robert Manne, Professor of Politics at LaTrobe University, in this month's issue of the magazine The Monthly.
He's discovered that Australian historians have hardly noticed the coincidence of the two events.
ROBERT MANNE: In 1915 the Ottoman Government began one of the first really systematic genocides in history, certainly of the 20th century. (more)
