HOMAGE to our MARTYRS of 1915

[Sevac]

Since yesterday a very important website is online in homage to our parents of 1915. We must announce it to all our families and armenians friendly. It’s a memorial. Look for now the town or were born and dead your grandparents in 1915 and go on { www.inhomage.com } . It makes it possible each one among us to put in perspective the birthplace of our missing old parents, by recording their names starting from a geographical map.

This information must make the turn in the world so that a maximum of Armenians can, by finding their roots, find by the same occasion of the families originating in the same village, the same city, and correspond with them, where they are today. It is also, a way of affirming an indisputable and imprescriptible historic reality :

THE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIAN PEOPLE

[loveataturk]

Martyr= A person who dies in defence of "GOD" against powers that try to defame and destroy the notion or believers of "GOD".
I see no martyrs in Anatolia. All the above argument represents is: Enormously ill-trained self-pity that has started to deform truth, bordering on incurable paranoia.

Come on - you know very well that Turks use the word "martyr" in exactly the same as this Armenian use. In fact, in Turkey its use is trivialised by extending it even further. For example, all those who died in the Sarikaya earthquake in 1999 were refered to a "martyrs" in the Turkish press.

[loveataturk]

You are right, bell_the_cat, and I think Turks are very wrong to use the word "martyr" so lightly, as well. In fact, GOD as I believe, would find the notion of "martyr" wrong, because we humans are all God's children, and I do not believe any method of our killing each other is acceptable to him.
This "martyr" notion, where Muslims claim that all Christians and xxxs are OK to kill in war or else, same way Christians find it OK to kill all infidels....I DO NOT THINK GOD WOULD APPROVE ANY SUCH THING.
Thus, to my mind, there can be no martyrs. If you read between my lines, you could notice that I would be 100% opposed to the late Ottoman approach of erasing all non-muslim elements from power in land in early 20th century, too.......

Good, I'm glad you're taking God's side in the matter.

[loveataturk]

I think the whole notion of "nation" is the very crux of all armed conflict from the start of history. I find a disturbing parallel between the "territory protection" instinct of animals and human's "nation and nationality" ideas. And then we all keep SHAMELESSLY talking about our nation, our blood, and then go even more shameless to try and find GOD's justification in our actions...
MONEY, NATION, RELIGION...We really have to focus on these threee notions, and check to see if these three ideas are not unlike the 3 NO-NO's that doctors tell us to refrain from 1. sugar, 2. salt, 3. flour !

CALL to ACTION of all ARMENIANS <www.inHomage.com>

Dear Compatriot, we need you !!!

In the face of the mass media's obfuscation of information about
populations affected by the crimes committed by the Young Turks of the
Ottoman Empire, a prompt response is critical. Today, if the Turkey of
Prime Minister Erdogan and his cohorts has become worthy of being
associated with, it has become so despite the fact that the country has
not undertaken its task of facing its own history and collective
memory. Moreover, the question will have now been postponed ad
infinitum, since the EU accepted to engage in negotations in light of
the future accession of the country to the Union.

Armenian communities are devastated now by a second form of genocide
stemming from indifference. Do we believe that we should have to wait
until the 100th commemmoration of this genocide in order for justice to
be served? No! With the passage of time, the Armenian identity is in
the process of a gradual dilution due to assimilation and mixed
marriages, as people integrate into increasingly diverse societies that
are being claimed by the forces of globalization. Its future is thus in
great danger. A vital necessity is thus presented before us by these
events: a call to all Armenians on the planet to testify and bear
witness, as a duty to our collective peace of mind, that the Genocide of
1915 was neither an illusion, nor a point of view. Because our dead had
names, and we are going to prove it. This is why we must gather all our
energy - as well as your help - to stand back up and conquer this
enormous challenge: OUR DEAD STILL HAVE A NAME.

In all countries, in all cities, in all villages, on all the streets and
on every floor of every building; on the radio, on TV, on the Internet
and through the pages of Armenian presses, let us sensitize and raise
the awareness of our compatriots to bear witness, in the face of
humanity, that our people suffered the unspeakable: a GENOCIDE !

Let us supply the Memorial www.inhomage.com with the names of our
sacrificed forefathers as long as their eradication from their ancestral
grounds is not officially recongized by the Turkish state. This
testimony, on the global level, will contribute to the realization of
the international community of the disaster that struck the Armenian
people; irrefutable proof issued by the descendants of those who have
died – but whose graves are unmarked. By undertaking this action, we may
be able to relieve our children of the heavy burdens of the past, so
that they may more thoroughly and freely invest their energies in a
better future, and in helping Armenia get on its feet more quickly.

Thank you for widely conveying and disseminating this information, in
the memory of our martyrs. Please do not hesitate to pick up our link
from www.inhomage.com and add it to your website. Do it now! One day,
thanks to you, the names of more than one million of our brothers and
sisters will feature on this Memorial so that their justice will be
served. Want the Recognition is natural, but to bring again elements being able to contribute it is our duty.
Thank you - for them.

you RETARD! the turks slaughtered armenians in the name of "jihad" because we were not muslims and therefore "non-believers". the jihad encouraged by germany. the only armenians to survive were women or children who were kidnapped my turks or kurds and raised muslims. you could only survive by converting to islam. and armenians who were given that option chose to die with dignity.
therefore we are martyrs. our revolutionaries, fedayis, soldiers, were all blessed, their guns blessed, they fought under a cross. armenians are mostly orthodox christians, and christianity has been a part of their nationalidentity for hundreds of years. esheg mongol turk
