Re: famous armenians in turkey
We must not forget the famous Garbis Zakharian, Turkish and European welterweight boxing champion in the mid 50's.
I was a youngster when Zakharian, in July 1956 visited Buenos Aires for a schedule of three fights, one of them with the classical Argentine champion Cirilo Gil. Zakharian was brought to the Armenian church one Sunday morning in August, he attended service and then was photographed with the archbishop and other dignitaries. He was a great champ, an elegant boxer with excellent moves and reflexes, an officious left jab, and a good right hook, but unfortunately lacked a killer punch . He won his first fight, the second fight was against the Argentine champion Cirilo Gil on the 21 of August , a cold , grey and drizzling Satruday night. The fight held at the Luna Park was packed by 14000 fans to bursting point. A large number of Armenians from Turkey ( who arrived the year before ,fleeing the Turkish progroms against Greek and Armenians in September 1955) had boisterously and fervorously taken control of a sector close to the ringside ,waving the tricolor, the other large throng of Armenian fans had taken control of another sector in the upper stands ,and were in a more sedate mood. Cirilo was a great and spectacular boxer, similar in style to Zakharian, also lacking a knockout punch. The fight begun with Zakharian taking the initiative and outboxing Cirilo for a few rounds. During those rounds the chant of "Zakharian, Zakharian" and the adrenalin flowing from the Armenian fans, the waving of the tricolor by the ring side sector, echoed and reverberated around the stadium. It was a memorable 3 to six minutes when the Luna Park Stadium trembled and resonated to the Zakharian name. Unfortunatley Garbis begun to run out of steam, and Cirilo slowly but surely began changing the course of the fight. On the ninth round ( scheduled fot ten) Cirilo stunned Zakharian with combination punches, but the Armenian, although staggered on his feet ,did not go down. The match ended with Cirilo's win on points.
His next fight was against Matiniano Pereyra, ranked number two ,who was destined to snatch the Argentile champion title away from Cirilo in December of that year. Martiniano did not possess the skills of Zakharian, nor the fighting class, but he was a slugger and packed a lethal right punch. Zakharian outboxed Matiniano during the first three rounds, but in the fourth he was felled with a right hook and took the count.
Zakharian went on to lose his European champion title in March of 1957
He was an exquisite boxer. I wonder what happened to him or where he is today.Comment

Re: famous armenians in turkey
Who are the fascists ? Where are they ? What are they aims and goals ? Is the Turkish establishment a fascist one ? Then the USA and Israel are the biggest fascist entities, precisely because their unstinting support for "fascist" Turkey. How is it possible that "fascist" Turkey is about to be admitted into the EU ? The EU is also , then , a "fascist" blop , since they are guilty of displaying "fascist" preferences by entertaining the admission of " fascist" Turkey into their midst ?.
Today the word fascist is used liberally to ostracize or to heap opprobrium on anyone opposing the established system. The word is meaningless , akin to "racist" "bigot" "extremist", worn out tools in the calisthenics of semantics hyperbole.
The Turkish establishment is talking about "dark hands" having perpetrated the heinous crime.
Hrant Dink was gunned down by a Turk, a Turk , a despicable and unspeakable Turk !!!!!!Comment
