Thank you to the House of Representatives in the US for properly characterizing US history and the Armenian genocide in the memory of my grandparents and all their relatives who perished. Genocide should never be used for political expediency or to sell a despot more helicopters. This will make more difficult for Turkey to further play the US State Dept on this issue though I’m sure they will try. It is important that there are economic sanctions tied to Turkeys illegal incursion into Syria as well. Senate resolution is next.

House votes to recognize Armenian genocide

The House passed a resolution on Tuesday officially recognizing and rebuking the Ottoman Empire's genocide against the Armenian people and rejecting any efforts to enlist the U.S. government in denying that the genocide took place.

Serj, this is such amazing news! My mom turned 85 today. I have heard her devastating stories about the Armenian Genocide, ones that she heard first hand from her father, my grandfather. The only reason I exist in the world is because my great grandmother hid my mom’s dad under her skirt when the Ottoman soldiers came to collect the boys and men for brutal extermination (after already having viciously killed her husband, my great grandfather). Hearing the RELIEF in my mom’s voice that the U.S. has finally recognized these atrocities was a moment I will never forget. Thank you for not only being an amazing beacon in the Armenian community but also advocating for the human rights of many others. As an LGBTQ Armenian musician, I’ve been truly inspired by your work and your fight for justice and acceptance for all.

As Americans right the wrongs of their past by removing tributes to confederate leaders and striving for truth and justice, they must also be mindful of the actions and glorification of foreign genocidal dictators on American soil.

Boycott APARTHEID states and AUTOCRATIC DICTATORSHIPS now!

It's an emergency of democracy:
Greece is leaving a hunger-striker prisoner die (whose rights are being violated by the state).
- The hungerstriker (and also thirst-striker) asks for the law to be respected from the state and not violated. It all started when the state forced him to move to a different prison facility, despite what the law suggests. The state refused to show him the written command/decision of the prison executives that suggested his moving. This leaves him without the option of going on court to solve the difference, since the document is still hidden from him and his lawyer. Hence hunger strike was the only option for him.
- Besides that, this new prison facility he was transported in, is over-crouded and dangerous to live in if for a person with poor health such as this hungerstriker, who is old and had a bad health condition (due to previous hungerstrikes he had when the state refused give him the time off he had the legal right to have, since he earned it by complying with the prison rules and his time spent in).
- This prisoner has also turned into a writer, and book translator of many books during his time in prison and was now put in a cell with two more prisoners, making it extremely difficult for him to continue his work.
He is on hunger strike for almost 50 days and on thirst strike the last 3 days. He is in critical condition and is likely to die soon, even if the state decides to do the right thing and respect the law.
Please share to raise global awareness before it is too late to save his life.
- He is fighting for the rights of every prisoner and more and more prisoners are joining him in hunger strike as we speak.
For the sake of justice.

A tool for unity and collaboration for the Armenian nation.

May be an image of text that says 'hyeconnect.org HyeConnect nin en w Rwjtntu wu E pyccKий Français 8 Welcome to HyeConnect The Armenian nation online Connect with Armenians around the world Be engaged in community activities Manage and run projects, discussions and events 神 æ男'

Last year’s challenges proved the importance of HyeConnect as an online environment for all Armenians to communicate and collaborate. The goal HyeConnect founders announced in October 2019 - “to mobilize the power of all Armenians for the sake of the state of Armenia” today is the main imperative.
Our team has been working hard on this platform despite everything happening in Armenia and we are pleased to inform, that the first groups of users have already been invited to participate in HyeConnect beta-testing. Based on their feedback, the final improvements will be made before opening to the public.
HyeConnect is a multilingual collaboration environment with rich toolkit tailored to the needs of our communities in the diaspora and Armenia for running their projects, events, discussions, surveys and other activities, to effectively use the capabilities of the participants and the Armenian potential in general.

Truth to Power”: This explosive, much-needed call to action against corrupt politics and global inaction couldn’t be more timely. Garin K. Hovannisian’s intimate, moving documentary shows how, System of a Down singer and frontman Serj Tankian’s music and activism fomented enormous change, getting nations to recognize the early 1900s Armenian Genocide. It’s a rousing portrait of a creative artist’s fearless, passionate dedication to his art and advocacy. It will leave you in tears yet filled with hope that we all have the power to invoke change. Details: 3 stars; available as part of the Virtual Cinema series at Rialto Cinemas.

1941-ի աշունն էր: Թուրքական ծագմամբ գերմանացի մի սպա հրամայեց խրամատ փորել: Երբ խրամատը պատրաստ էր, սպան հրամայեց.

- Թող հայերը վերանան: Թող հայերն ընկնեն խրամատը:
Հայերն իջան խրամատը:

Սպան հրամայեց.

- Ռուսներ, ձեր մեջքը վերցրեք և թաղեք հայերին: Մենք իրար նայեցինք, բայց ոչ ոք նրանց մեջքը չվերցրեց: Սպան կրկին հրամայեց.

- Խրամատներից դուրս եկեք, հայե՛ր: Ռուսներ, դուք կիջնեք խրամատը: Հայե՛ր, հիմա թաղեք ռուսներին:

Հայերը բահը ձեռքներին վերցրին ու սկսեցին կեղտ շպրտել մեզ վրա: Երբ հողը հասավ մեր ծնկներին, սպան հրամայեց հայերին կանգ առնել և շրջվեց դեպի մեզ:

- Ուրեմն, ռուսներ, ձեզ համար պարզ է, թե ինչ են հայերը !!!

Միխայիլ Բոբրովի հուշերից:
