WHO’S WHO AMONG ARMENIANS
******************************************
Were Gregory Peck (Krikor Ipekian)
and Jack Palance (Hagop Palanjian) Armenian?
I don’t know and I don’t give a damn!
*
Was the present Pope’s grand-grandmother
half Armenian?
Ditto!-
*
What I find infinitely more interesting is:
How many of our dividers are really Turks
who speak Armenian fluently?
*
A pure-blooded real McCoy Armenian
who survives by dividing the community
might as well be a Turk
even if he can trace his family tree
all the way back to Adam and Eve,
who, as everyone knows by now,
were born and raised on Astafian Street
in Yerevan.

FROM MY NOTEBOOKS
******************************
Anyone will say anything
in exchange of a regular salary
and a title.
*
We all make mistakes
and we all hate to admit them --
the bigger the mistake,
the greater the reluctance.
*
i write as an unemployed
and unempolyable misfit
who has nothing to lose.

"The more i get to know of men,
the more i value dogs."
