Updated: March 17, 2015

WATERTOWN -- The Armenian Museum of America presents a Lecture by
Hilmar Kaiser titled "The Extermination of Armenians in the Diarbekir
Region". The event will be held on Sunday, March 29, 2015 2:00 PM -
4:00 PM at Adele & Haig Der Manuelian Galleries of the museum.

The lecture and slide presentation will introduce a new study on
Diarbekir in 1915 and present substantial new findings from the
Ottoman archives in Istanbul. For the first time, an order authorizing
mass-murder of Armenians will be presented. Moreover, the research on
Diarbekir has authenticated two documents from the post-war Ottoman
courts martial which were believed to have been lost. New light will
shed on the resistance against the genocide and the murder of Abidin
Nesimi Bey who condemned the atrocities.

Hilmar Kaiser received his Ph. D. from the European University
Institute, Florence, Italy. His research focuses on late Ottoman social
and economic history. He has published numerous studies including
"Genocide at the Twilight of the Ottoman Empire", in, Donald Bloxham
and A. Dirk Moses (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Genocide Studies,
Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York, NY, 2010; "Regional
resistance to central government policies: Ahmed Djemal Pasha, the
governors of Aleppo, and Armenian deportees in the spring and summer
of 1915."

PBS aired a film on the genocide here in the Detroit area. I think it was done ok. It was less one-sided then most such films and gave important background information. I think there are plans to air it on many other pbs networks so you may want to keep an eye out for them. These film draw out an emotional response from any normal human being because it is traumatic seeing people suffer so much. The active denial by the Turkish government was also displayed along with how turkey rewrites its own history books. It is surely worth watching and I loo forward to other such shows which are scheduled between now and April 24.

Another European Resolution Backs Armenian Genocide Recognition


A parliamentary body representing the European Union’s member and partner states on Tuesday called for greater international recognition of the 1915 Armenian genocide and urged Turkey to “come to terms with its past.”

In a resolution adopted during a session in Yerevan, the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly said “the absence of unequivocal and timely condemnation of the Armenian Genocide largely contributed to the failure to prevent future crimes against humanity.”

Therefore, it said, “prevention of genocides and crimes against humanity should be amongst the priorities of the international community.”The world should also strive for “the restoration of the rights of people subjected to genocide,” added the assembly bringing together members of the European Parliament and legislatures of ex-Soviet states involved in the EU’s Eastern Partnership program.

The resolution further “deeply deplores” attempts to deny the World War One-era slaughter of some 1.5 million Armenians in Ottoman Turkey and other genocides. In that regard, it “invites Turkey to come to term with its past.”

The Euronest text was adopted less than a week after the European Parliament reaffirmed its recognition of the Armenian genocide in an annual report on human rights practices around the world. It urged all EU member states to do the same.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry rejected the EU legislature’s appeal, saying that it is “utterly devoid of historical reality and legal basis.”

“We find these assertions in all respects extremely problematic and regret them deeply,” the ministry spokesman, Tanju Bilgic, said in a weekend statement. “The report interprets a certain period of the Ottoman Empire, which was tragic for all the people of the Empire, one-sidedly and with a sense of selective justice.”

Re: The 100th Anniversary - and Events to Mark it

Armenian trash like the above 3 posters are the main reason why the word "alleged" or words "Armenian allegations" will continue to go alongside the phrase "Armenian Genocide" into 2016 and into the foreseeable future. And those sad little jerks will blame everyone but themselves for that, because they need to hate and need to hide their incompetence and also because they would not have a clue how to exist in a scenario where "alleged" was no longer used.

Look who is doing the hating here, and generalizing and lying, and....Bell you tell almost as many lies as the number of lives you seem to have in this forum. I have never said we should rely on the west and have always supported strengthening Armenia in every way possible. My record is quite clear on this manner but you go on and make up fairy tails...its ok Bell I like fairy tails.

Yes, its Jingle bell........the one who insults everyone, act like he own the place when he own next to nothing. Don't you know bells that no one can destroy you, you are just too important while you wine about getting trolled, and you expect unquestioned and consistent support from the very same people you repeatedly insult (the Mod team).
