Cultural Genocide Lectures

this fall.

(I-Newswire) - Simon Maghakyan, the author of `The First Christian
Civilization's Cultural Genocide' photo-collection, will be available
for delivering presentations on Cultural Genocide of the Armenian
Heritage starting this fall.

Maghakyan, a student in Colorado, has been studying the state of the
Armenian cultural monuments in Turkey for the last few years. He has
collected hundreds of photographs from various sources that testify
to the attempted destruction of the Armenian monuments in the
Republic of Turkey. Maghakyan is also the author of more than
three-dozen Armenian-related articles that have been published in the
USA, Armenia, Russia, Iran, Greece, etc.

Maghakyan has given speeches during various human rights awareness
events and has been called `a vibrant speaker' by Colorado's local
papers. He was paid tribute to by the Colorado Congressman Tom
Tancredo in the House of the Representatives for his continuous
academic success and for his genuine service to Colorado's community.
During 2004-2005, Maghakyan served as the president of Phi Theta
Kappa International Honor Society's Sigma Phi chapter.

The Cultural Genocide of the Armenian Heritage is a result of the
denialist policy of the Turkish government. Between 1915 ( the year
the Armenian Genocide started ) and now, more than 2000 Armenian
churches and cathedrals of eastern Turkey have been ruined, converted
to mosques and desecrated. As Henry Morgenthau, America's Ambassador
to the Ottoman Empire at the time of the Armenian Genocide, has
stated, `the killing of the Armenian people was accomplished by the
systematic destruction of churches, schools, libraries, treasures of
arts and cultural monuments in an attempt to eliminate all traces of
a noble civilization with a history of more than 3000 years.'

I was looking at the thread on climbing and followed a link to Turkey's Ministry of Culture and Tourism site [http://goturkey.kultur.gov.tr/]. I clicked on the Eastern region. Not one mention of Armenia, not one. It talks of many churches and ruins and completely leaves Armenia out of it. Out of curiousity, I've checked other Turkish sites on their so-called culture. Again, it's as if Armenians never lived there. So this cultural genocide is a part of their plan to slowly erase the history of massive Armenian settlement in Anatolia, for if there were no Armenians in Anatolia, how could so many have been murdered.

Huh! An amateur ...trying to run before he can even crawl. The monuments need solutions not more rabble rousers.

I have 12,000 photos, and I have never heard of him.

Look how he says that he has collected hundreds of photographs from various sources. I think he never even set foot there.
