Thank you... thank you for not giving up. I'm 23... and I promised myself before I'm 50, I'm gonna see Turkey recognize the genocide. Too bad my grandparents won't.
And no, we're not giving up. What's interesting, is that our new generation is more determined to get the genocide recognized than the one before. Which reminds me of this beaufitul wriring by Diana Der-Hovanessian called "By Now":

By Now


By now we should have finished grieving.
By now we should have found some peace.
By now there should have been atonement and the pain slightly eased.
By now witnesses are almost gone.
And the lies about our bones believed.
By now they thought we would be forgotten.
and our blood dried to dust and blown.
By now they thought the smoke and fire
would be either greened or stone.
By now they thought our stolen children would have all turned into Turks.
By now they thought the aid money
sent back to America would do its work
in changing truth to lies:
that we were never here alive.
By now they thought the last survivors
and their children would be in graves.
They didn't count on our children's children even angrier, and more outraged.

Good luck with the newspaper add... keep us updated.
