| Erdogan Deserves Medal As Fake Friend of Palestinians
|
| In the past week the world witnessed an amazing performance by a government leader that even the most accomplished Hollywood actor could not match!
Turkey’s Prime Minister deserves an Oscar for presenting himself as a great humanitarian and protector of Palestinians. The people of Gaza are certainly oppressed and deprived, but Erdogan is not their knight in shining armor! One cannot champion human rights with unclean hands! This is the height of hypocrisy! |

| Turkey's growing influence in the Middle East, even before the naval confrontation with Israel over Gaza, had prompted some Arab countries to restrict the political rights of local Armenian communities.
It is feared that the latest Gaza conflict, which catapulted Prime Minister Erdogan to a heroic stature throughout the Islamic world, would result in further limitations on Armenian activities deemed to be "anti-Turkish."
In recent months, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria have taken specific actions to place some restrictions on the activities of their Armenian citizens either out of concern for a backlash from Turkey or under direct pressure from Turkish authorities. |

| The International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies is pleased to announce its faculty for 2010. This year, ten leading scholars from the fields of international law, political science, history, sociology and psychology will teach an intensive two-week seminar on the challenging and critical phenomenon of genocide. This wide variety of specializations ensures students will learn about genocide and the gross violation of human rights through a unique interdisciplinary, as well as, comparative approach. |

| An important international symposium on “Armenia-Turkey: How to Normalize Relations,” was held in Paris on April 14. It was organized by the French Bureau of the Armenian Cause and the Armenian National Committee of France. |

| Today, at a time of global economic crisis, conflict and wars, most people are justifiably discouraged and depressed by the deluge of bad news. Armenia and Armenians are no exception.
At the outset of the year 2010, as Armenians assess their own situation, it is instructive to look back at the appalling conditions in the newly-born Republic of Armenia (1918-20). The stark difference -- along with some similarities -- between life in Armenia today and the first Republic becomes clear as we read the poignant letter of Armenia’s first Prime Minister Hovhannes Katchaznouni sent to his wife in Tbilisi, Georgia, in January 1919. |
