ARMENIAN YOUTH FEDERATION CHALLENGES TURKISH VICE CONSUL GENERAL
Los Angeles, California- Members of the Armenian Youth Federation
(AYF) attended a coffee discussion last Sunday hosted by the Young
Associates of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, which featured
a discussion by Vice Consul of Turkey in Los Angeles, Anil Bora Inan.
The Young Associates, a group that offers speakers and social events
for young professionals, provided a forum for Vice Consul Inan to
address the topic of Turkey’s candidacy to the European Union. Inan
spoke to a group of 30 young professionals, 14 of which were Armenian
youth. He first briefed the crowd about Turkey’s history and then
discussed a number of issues related to the European Union, often
mentioning the Armenian Diaspora and the Armenian Genocide issue as
an obstacle to Turkey’s advancement into the EU.
During a question and answer session following Inan’s briefing, members
of the AYF bombarded Inan with questions regarding Turkey’s record
of human rights, treatment of minorities, and denial of the Armenian
Genocide. When asked about the Armenian Genocide, Inan repeatedly
denied that what happened to the Armenians was genocide, insisting
that it was only massacres and deportations as a result of war. One
of the main topics covered during the question-answer session was
the recent bill passed by the French National Assembly criminalizing
the denial of the Armenian Genocide. The Vice Consul expressed his
opposition to the proposed law, calling it “French wrongdoings”
and assured attendees that the law would never go beyond the lower
chamber of the French legislature. The Vice Consul also denied that
Kurds are deprived of their civil rights in Turkey.
At the end of the evening, AYF members presented Inan with the book
Ambassador Morgenthau’s story, written by Henry Morgenthau, the former
American Ambassador to Turkey from 1913-1916. The book is a primary
American document on the Armenian Genocide which contains reoccurring
accounts of ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
Upon his arrival in Los Angeles in 2004, one of Vice Consul Inan’s
main responsibilities became the observation of the Armenian American
community in California. On many occasions throughout the evening,
Inan stressed that he closely monitors Armenian organizations and
individuals in California, especially for anti-Turkish activity. In
doing so, he emphasized the strength and power of the California
Armenian American community and its ability to advance the Armenian
cause.
Prior to arriving in Los Angeles, Inan served at the Turkish Embassy
in Syria, where he was responsible for the bi-lateral political,
military, security and cultural relations between Turkey and Syria.
Inan has also served as Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of the
Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 2002-2004.

DIALOGUE WITH YOUTH
Realizing the importance of listening to the youth and creating a true
dialogue with them, His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of
Cilicia, has been making special initiatives for the past several years with
messages specifically directed to young people. Recognizing the value of
face-to-face dialogue, and acting on the suggestion of His Holiness, the
three prelacies (Eastern, Western, and Canadian) have joined to bring the
youth to a central location and create opportunities for dialogue and
encounters between the Catholicos and the youth.
The event which is being organized by the youth, will take place in
Dearborn, Michigan, December 1 to 3. Young adults, ages 18 to 30, are
encouraged to make plans to be present and participate in the gathering.
The theme of the event is “Your Church. Your Future. Engage.” According
to program committee co-chair Nayiri Baljian, the event is intended to
“provide an opportunity for the youth to learn about their heritage of faith
and to experience some of the best of what the Armenian Church can offer.”
The weekend activities will include speakers, film, music, worship-all with
the goal of answering the questions: Where have we come from? Where are we
going? How far can we go?

HOLY EVANGELISTS REMEMBERED
This Saturday, October 21, the Armenian Church remembers the Holy
Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John-the authors of the four gospels.
Matthew is considered to be the patron of the mission of the Church. The
Gospel attributed to him closes with this command by Jesus to His disciples
and followers: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, and the
eternal words, And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world.”
Mark is considered to have had significant influence on the advancement
of Christianity. Although the Gospel according to Mark is a narrative of the
life of Jesus, theologians consider it to be a handbook of discipleship. The
dominant message is that being a Christian is not only believing in Jesus
Christ. More importantly, it is living according to the example set by
Jesus.
Luke is the author of the third gospel and the book of Acts. He is
considered to be the patron of physicians and artists. The Gospel according
to Luke is greatly concerned with Jesus as “the healer of a broken world.”
Luke is also noted for his concern for the poor, the marginalized, women,
and social outcasts. His Gospel does not end with the Resurrection, but
rather continues to Pentecost and the eternal presence of Christ in the
world.
John, often called the “Beloved Disciple,” is the author of the fourth
gospel and the book of Revelation. Jesus entrusted his mother to John’s care
on the day of the Crucifixion. The best known verse in his gospel is, “For
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in
him should not perish but have eternal life,” (John 3:16).
GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE IS 75
Next Wednesday is the 75th birthday of the George Washington Bridge,
considered to be “the most beautiful bridge in the world.” The GWB (part of
U.S. Interstate I-95) spans the Hudson River between Manhattan’s Washington
Heights neighborhood and the borough of Fort Lee, New Jersey. The GWB opened
to traffic on October 25, 1931. It was designed to accommodate either a
railroad or a second deck for vehicular traffic. The lower deck was opened
in 1962. It is the world’s only 14-lane suspension bridge. Since 1948 a 60 x
90 foot American flag is flown on major U.S. holidays beneath the arch of
the New Jersey tower. It is the world’s largest free-flying flag.
The Little Red Lighthouse made famous by the popular children’s book
written by Hildegarde Swift and Lynn Ward in 1942, is located under the
bridge near the New York shore. No longer needed as a lighthouse, it was
saved from destruction in 1951 and is now under the jurisdiction of the New
York City Parks Department.

BANQUET CELEBRATING THE 76TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ANTELIAS SEMINARY
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS
On Friday, October 13, on the eve of the Feast of the Holy
Translators, evening services were conducted by H.E. Archbishop
Moushegh Mardirossian, Prelate, with the participation of Prelacy
clergy members and deacons, at Holy Martyrs Church in Encino.
Following church services, the annual Seminary banquet took place at
“Avedissian” Hall with over 450 Seminary alumni and supporters in
attendance. The host of the banquet was Seminary alumnus Mr. and
Mrs. Zohrab and Liza Manougian, who expressed their support with a
30,000 dollar donation.
With the singing of a hymn dedicated to the Holy Translators, the
clergy members, led by the Prelate, entered the hall in a procession
where they collectively sang the Seminary anthem.
The official program began with welcoming remarks by emcees Very
Rev. Fathers Muron Aznikian and Barthev Gulumian. The evening’s keynote
speaker, Archpriest Fr. Khoren Habeshian, then delivered his remarks
in which he emphasized the mission of the Seminary and its invaluable
contribution to the Armenian people.
In his remarks, the Prelate reminded the guests that one year ago,
this same banquet took place under the auspices and presided by
H.H. Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia.
He stated that as a result of the piety and nationalistic ideals that
the Seminary instills in each student, serving God and the Armenian
people becomes the mission of each Seminarian. The Prelate concluded
by expressing his appreciation to the Seminary Alumni Committee, the
Prelacy Ladies Auxiliary Guild, Executive Council, the Catholicosate’s
Central Executive Council representative, the A.R.F.
Central Committee representative, and to all the benefactors whose
continuous moral and financial support contribute to the fulfillment
of the Seminary’s mission to educate our future spiritual leaders.
Following the official program, former Seminarian Karnig Sarkissian
and his “Knar” band entertained the guests with revolutionary and
nationalistic songs. Throughout the evening, benefactors and supporters
of the Seminary made donations that totaled over 85,000 dollars.

ERKKI TUOMIOJA: THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS NOT AN “EXAGERATED DEFINITION”
ArmRadio.am
20.10.2006 10:27
The Foreign Minister of Finland Erkki Tuomioja has declared that the
Armenian Genocide that took place in the Ottoman Empire at the turn
of the century is not an “exaggerated definition” and Turkey must be
ready to acknowledge it.
According to “Anatolu” agency, the Finnish Foreign Minister said that
with ratification of the bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial
the National Assembly of France “made a mistake” and the French
Parliament should refuse from the idea. He said that Parliaments
should not write laws about historical facts. “Black pages can be
found in the history of any country, society or religion. The most
important is for the country to face its history and accept it.”

PAMUK’S NOBEL IS A FAMILY AFFAIR
Guardian Unlimited
Friday October 20, 2006
The anger and delight which greeted Orhan Pamuk’s Nobel prize in
Turkey are no surprise, says Elif Shafak. Turkey has always expected
novelists to provide more than words
When news that Orhan Pamuk had won the Nobel prize for literature
reached Turkey, the literary world and wider society were split
in two. Pride and condemnation went side by side. After all Pamuk
has never fitted into the role which Turkish society demands of its
novelists. Dedicating all his life to literature, he has always been
more absorbed in his own fictional world than the “real” world outside.
Ever since the end of the 19th century Turkish society has been in a
hurry. Abdullah Cevdet, one of the most radical thinkers of the late
Ottoman Empire, asked despairingly “how long has it taken the western
world to reach the level of civilisation that they now enjoy? Four
hundred years perhaps? Can we wait that long?” His conclusion was
that in order to catch up with western civilisation the flow of time
had to be speeded up. This was the task that fell upon the Turkish
intelligentsia – to quicken the flow of history, to expedite the
process of westernisation – placing writers at the forefront of
efforts to mould Turkish society.
With the establishment of a modern, secular Turkey, literature took
on an even greater role. The new elite, depicting the new regime as
a fundamental transformation from eastern civilisation to western
civilisation, aimed to make culture the cement of the modern
Turkish nation-state. For them modernisation and secularisation
meant a complete detachment from the past, a mistrust of anything,
of everything associated with the Ottoman heritage. The Turkish state
elite was ready to speed up the flow of history from above.
So the novel – a literary genre which was new, modern and, unlike the
old tradition of poetry, utterly western – gained a unique position.
No wonder then that a novelist is always more than a novelist in
Turkey. He is, first and foremost, a public figure. Novelists are the
“babas”, the fathers of their readers. They are loved and hated, looked
up to and looked down upon. This is a society which is writer-oriented,
not writing-oriented.
Orhan Pamuk has been working against this background for years. He
writes with great passion and determination, all the while endorsing,
publicising and internationalising the Turkish novel. As conspicuous
as his books have been, he himself has always remained almost
unreachable. If he has been any kind of “baba” to his readers he has
only been a detached father more inspired by his own imagination
than by his nation. Perhaps it is this that triggers some sons,
some segments of Turkish society, to attack him.
As a Turkish woman writer, I too have often felt out of tune with the
baba tradition. While the son-society keeps discussing the implications
of this award, I am filled with delight, pride and optimism. Pamuk’s
Nobel is not only a great honour for him and for the richness of
Turkish literature, but also a sign of the great contribution Turkey
can make to world culture if and when it reaches out beyond national
borders and nationalist debates.

WESTERN ARMENIANS TO ELECT THEIR NATIONAL ASSEMBLY
Armenpress
Oct 20 2006
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, ARMENPRESS: About thirty prominent Armenian
intellectuals have come out today with an initiative to create a body
that will represent the heirs of Armenians who escaped the genocide of
Armenians in the historical Western Armenia in the Ottoman Turkey. The
signatories propose to establish a National Assembly, a National
Council and committees.
The initiating committee had sent messages to all heirs of Armenians
who escaped the genocide to seek their accord and based on the feedback
has decided to call a meeting in Paris on December 9-10. The group’s
statement says the meeting will elect an ad hoc National Council with
its committees which will organize and steer elections of deputies
to the National Assembly in all countries where heirs of the genocide
live. This National Assembly is supposed to elect the National Council
of Western Armenians.
The idea behind this initiative, according to the statement, is to
work out and carry out such all-Armenian projects which will promote
strengthening of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, consolidation of free
democracy and defense of Armenians’ interests globally.
Another goal is to negotiate with Turkish authorities and other
stakeholders to attain the recognition of Armenian genocide, its
condemnation and press for compensations for the property of Western
Armenians and to ensure unobstructed return of the heirs to Western
Armenia where their ancestors lived.

LAWMAKER SAYS ARMENIA WILL NEVER STAND AGAINST GEORGIA, AS RUSSIA WANTS
Armenpress
Oct 19 2006
YEREVAN, OCTOBER 19, ARMENPRESS: A veteran Armenian politician,
Vazgen Manukian, chairman of once very influential National Democratic
Union (NDU), before it split into several minor parties, said today
the deteriorating Russian-Georgian relations are stirring up more
sentiments than the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
“Russia’s unprecedented crackdown on Georgia is being reflected on all
residents of the South Caucasus. It is absurd to think that Armenia
will stand next to Russia and against Georgia. Russians are mistaken
thinking that Armenians morally owe them. Our relations with Russia
must be equal, irrespective of our countries’ size,’ Manukian said.
He said many elements of Georgia’s foreign policy are not in Armenia’s
liking, but despite it ‘we have lived with Georgians side by side for
millennia and it is our destiny to continue to live as good neighbors.’
Manukian said he was in favor of building close relations with NATO,
but spoke against Armenia’s membership in the Alliance. “We have to
pursue a balanced policy with Russia, Iran and Turkey, but I do not
think that we can be in the same military bloc with Turkey.”
Manukian also spoke about domestic developments lamenting that the
opposition has become weak, with no finances and resources and unable
to pose as an alternative to the regime.

LOOKING FOR A SPONSOR

[01:35 pm] 20 October, 2006
The only cultural center for children in Erebouni community is
the former Pioneer Palace where pupils can learn singing, dancing,
embroidery and handicrafts. The center has more than 850 pupils who
periodically organize exhibitions of their works. They have recently
participated in the exhibition organized within the framework of the
celebration of the Yerevan day.
The center exists almost 30 years, but the building is rather old and
needs reconstruction. According to headmaster Mr. Rshtouni, the roof of
the building has been repaired thanks to the donation of the community
head. The backyard has also been cleaned of garbage and trees have
been planted. But the money is not enough for full reconstruction of
the building. The headmaster himself found it difficult to name the
necessary sum.
By the way, the center also has a problem of heating.
The rooms are heated by stoves; as for the fuel, the children bring
it from their own houses.

ARMENIANS EVICTED FROM KRASNODAR

Seven citizens of Armenia and eight citizens of Georgia will be
evicted from Krasnodar.
Movement “Migrant” in Kuban aims at finding foreigners with illegal
status in Russia, agency “Regnum” informs. The eviction takes place
within the framework of the movement.
The majority of the above mentioned foreigners are not registered;
they do not have passports and permission to work.
