You see how these voritsaks are so ready to make excuses for western leaders but God forbid it comes to Armenian leader, it's all doom and gloom! It's amazing how low Armenians have fallen.

Nah that is making excuses. They could have just sent a ambassador there and sent the queen or prince to Armenia. Britain has always wanted us dead and gone just to hurt Russia and to cozy up to the turk.

Although I do not want to be an apologist for the Brits,
the fact is the Brits ( and Auzis Kiwis ) are hostage to these events because of the large number of casualties and local war graves they have there.

It represents a significant event in their historic calendar even though it was one big kock-up.

ArmInfo's Survey: Belarus and France will be represented at highest level at events timed to Armenian Genocide Centennial

http://www.arminfo.am/index.cfm?objectid=AD685DD0-C25E-11E4-A9290EB7C0D21663

Most of the countries invited to the Armenian Genocide Centennial events in Yerevan have not yet responded to the invitation for not having made up their delegations to Yerevan.

Talking to ArmInfo, Ambassadors of Switzerland, Georgia, Iran, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Japan, and Germany said Yerevan's invitation is still considered by the foreign ministries of their countries to determine the composition of delegations. Nevertheless, all the diplomats assured ArmInfo that their countries will send official representatives to the events timed to the Armenian Genocide Centennial.

Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia Traian Hristea told ArmInfo, the EU has not made up its delegation to the Genocide Centennial events in Yerevan. Meanwhile, Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan Andrey Sorokin said the delegation to Yerevan will be headed by Ilkka Kanerva, President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. The decision may be changed and the OSCE may be represented at the above events at a higher level.

Belarus has already made up its delegation. Talking to ArmInfo, Ambassador Stepan Sukhorenko said the president of Belarus will attend the events timed to the Armenian Genocide Centennial. France will also be represented at the highest level.

Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin said Moscow has already made up its delegation. The diplomat did not reveal the composition of the Russian delegation, saying the country will be represented at an adequate level.

The survey revealed that some countries will not send any delegations to Turkey - the country is going to celebrate the centennial of the victory in the Gallipoli Battle on the same day - April 24. Others will send their delegations for political reasons. The diplomats say the centennials of the Armenian Genocide and the Gallipoli Battle are morally incomparable events.

To recall, UK, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan have already accepted Turkey's invitation to the Gallipoli event and will be represented at the highest level. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles will attend the event.

So which is it, is this bs event cancelled or not?

TURKS MOVE SULEYMAN SHAH MAUSOLEUM TO ARMENIANS' "DEATH" PATH

15:49, 26.02.2015

A new detail has come to light with respect to the Turkish army's
recent relocation of the tomb of Suleyman Shah in Syria.

The Turkish armed forces, together with the local Kurdish militants,
have transferred the remains of Suleyman Shah--the forebear of Osman I,
the founder of the Ottoman Empire--to the Eshme region on the Turkish
border, reported Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul.

It was found out, however, that the place where the Turks have begun
building a new mausoleum for Suleyman Shah had been on the "death"
path of the Armenians in 1915; that is, it was through this area that
hundreds of thousands of Armenians were taken to their death in the
deserts of Deir ez-Zor.

GERMAN WRITER TO PUBLISH BOOK ABOUT GERMANY'S ROLE IN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

February 24, 2015

Jurgen Gottschlich, a foreign correspondent for German newspaper Die
Tageszeitung in Istanbul, will soon publish the "Genocide complicity:
Germany's role in the Armenian Genocide" book, News.am reports citing
Nouvelles d'Armenie.

100 years after the atrocities committed against the Armenians
Gottschield accuses Germany of its involvement in the genocide.

According to him, German officers and diplomats were well aware
of Armenians' massacres and deportations in Ottoman Turkey. The
journalist criticizes Germany for not even referring to its role in
the Armenian slaughter.

Gottschield visited and interviewed the survivors' descendants,
as well as studied the German and Turkish archives.

As a result, the documentary historical book appeared that
multilaterally examines Germany's participation in the Armenian
Genocide, as well as the controversy concerning this issue.
