GENOCIDE LIES, NEED NO ARCHIVES !

Par.2 Par.3 Par.4
1. LEGALITY:
a- The European Legal system is based on the principle of the 1813 Bavarian Code wording “Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine praevia poenali” which states that
b- Any charge of crime such as human murder, must depend on strong irrefutable evidences, to name but a few:
Beneficiary of the murder - time/dates – place – numbers – murder tools – unbiased eyewitness – document – corpses – and finally the verdict of an authorized legal court where charges and defense, was publicly heard! The Jewish Holocaust meets almost all these criteria and an international court verdict, whilst the Armenian allegations are widely spread hearsays, which did not meet any of the above evidences!
c- U.N. resolution 260 of 09.12.1948 reads (Art.9): “…Disputes between Contracting Parties relating to the interpretation, application and fulfillment of the present convention, including those in Art.3, shall be submitted to the International Court of Justice at the request of any of the parties to the dispute… So far, not even an open debate of scholars could be made, let aside any judicial or arbitrary investigation!
d- The individual wrong doings of some of the persons on duty during the relocations, were mostly investigated by the CUP Government in 1915-1916. Over 1600 cases were put on court martial, 67 persons found guilty were executed, some four hundred persons were found not guilty, and rest was sentenced to diverse penalties. “The New York Times,” Nov.22, 1915 read: Djemal Pasha orders two of their Oppressors for Armenians Hanged…”
e. After the 30.10.1918 Mudros armistice, some 144 Ottoman dignitaries, were transferred and imprisoned in Malta on allegations of genocide. The research made in the Ottoman archives by British with the help of Turkish Armenian experts, produced no documents! The British hoped to find documents in the U.S. archives but the telegram sent by the British ambassador to their Foreign Office dated 25.11.1921, read: “I regret to inform your Lordship, that the Americans could not produce any evidence, against the prisoners of Malta” ! They were silently acquitted and sent back to Turkey” without even an official charge for wrong doings by any of them”.
f- The only documents provided about the Armenian allegations, came from one source, namely ambassador Henry Morgenthau who was asked by the President Wilson and State Secretary Lansing to provide “documentary evidence to convince the U.S. Congress” to take a decision to join WW.1 for “ethical and humane values”. The distorted-unchecked missionary reports were sent by diplomatic bags to Lord Bryce, head of the British Propaganda division in London (whom he had met in Beirut), who was passing these to young Toynbee for use.
g- “The BLUE BOOK”: A letter sent by the U.S. Foreign Office to Toynbee dated May 1, 1916, read: “I very much regret that we were unable to fill the blanks in the documents…many of them are not accessible to us”! Toynbee, in his letter dated June 23, 1916 sent from the Wellington House to Professor Margouliouth, was asking help by the following words: “I wonder if you can spare the time to glance at it and glaring mis-statements of fact or wrongdoings of view. My knowledge on the greater part of the ground is very shaky and secondhand. I hesitated to trouble you, but the documents are going to be published as a Government Blue Book, so it is important to make sure that the introduction should come up to a decent level of historical correctness…”
Again, Toynbee, in 1966 had elaborated on the Blue Book in the following words: “I have your letter of March 1st. It is true that the British Government’s motive asking Lord Bryce to compile the Blue Book was propaganda”…
h- It is noteworthy to remember that all (distorted) documentation on the subject came from a single person, Ambassador Henry Morgenthau! It was he, who gave the same missionary reports to German missionary Lepsius, who stayed in Istanbul only for one month, and collected information from certain sources through Armenian interpreters. Lepsius gave the notes to his friend Franz Werfel, who came up with his damning novel “Forty Days at Moussa Dagh”. However, Abraham Sou Sever, a Sephardic Jew born in Turkey before WW1, later emigrated to USA and settled in California. Before his death, he gave a written statement to a notary public as his will, in which he wrote: “My dear departed friend Franz Werfel who wrote that book,
Morgenthau’s “Diary” presents serious flaws with the incidents he reported in his book “Ambassador Morgenthau’s Story”, he and his secretary brought from Istanbul had drafted and gave them to Burton Hendrick, the ghostwriter of the book. In his letter dated Jan. 9th, 1918 addressed to Honorable Breckenridge Long Assistant Secretary of State, Morgenthau was requesting official assistance for deferment from military service for his assistant. “You probably know that with the approval of the President, I have undertaken to write a book. Mr. Andonian is assisting me in the preparation of that work and owing to his intimate knowledge of the east and his unusual experience, his services to me are truly indispensable”…
This book had more than forty reprints and have been distributed-translated everywhere almost like the bible of the Armenian genocide. Let us see few lines from a letter found in the ambassador’s archive drawer, dated Dec. 1918 in which the Associated Press correspondent George Schreiner (who was the only western newspaper man in the Caucasus front and was cabling reports to Reuters and all other papers), felt the necessity to address the ambassador, in his long letter with clauses such as:
“I am writing this letter under the impression that the peace of the world will not gain by such extravagant efforts as yours… Since I knew Baron Wagenheim ( German ambassador) probably better than you did, I hope that future historians will pay little attention to what you have said of the man. But it was ever easy to slander the dead…Nor did you possess in Constantinople that omnipotence you have arrogated onto yourself in the book… In the interest of truth, I will also affirm that you saw little of the cruelty you have fasten upon the Turks. Besides that, you have killed more Armenians than ever lived in the districts of the uprising. The fate of those people was sad enough without having to be exaggerated as you have done. I have probably seen more of the Armenian affair than all of the Armenian attaches of the American embassy altogether!.. To be perfectly frank with you I cannot applaud your efforts to make the Turk the worst being on earth, and the German worse…Has it ever occurred to you that all governments reserve themselves the right to put down rebellion? It seems to me that even Great Britain assumed that stand themselves towards the Fathers of the Republic…”
The belying of all documents the Ambassador provided for the “Blue Book”, “Fort Days at Moussa Dagh” and “Ambassador Morgethau’s Story”, comes from another irrefutable document! This is the joint US Senate -Congress Resolution No. 192, April 22, 1922 in which the name of Morgenthau, is clearly printed as a member of the board of trustees of the Near East Relief Organization, and eventually as a member of the executive committee. Subject Relief Report to be elaborated hereunder later, contradicts everything that the ambassador has said or written previously in the documents he supplied to other parties or wrote in his own “story book”. If what he had previously said was to be correct, then the subject resolution accepted in 1922 unanimously, has to be wrong! It will be absurd to contradict, this obelisk-like official U.S. resolution!
2. REBELLION and ATROCITIES:
Among thousands of proofs and headlines in the U.S. newspapers, for the ease of the readers, it is suggested that they at least click or http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com/2007/11/2187-book-excerpts-pastermadjians-why.html “Why Armenia Should be Free” written by Garekin Pastirmadjian, giving the backstage or bragging part of the treason with a large selection of taken photographs. Mr. Pastirmadjian, was formerly one of the terrorists that raided the Ottoman Bank in August 1896, bombed, killed many innocents but were later pardoned by the pressure of the western powers, and went to Europe freely. He went to school in Switzerland, became a doctor in chemistry, and returned to Turkey after the Sultan was deposed in 1908. He was elected to the Ottoman Parliament representing the province of Erzurum. Pastirmadjian, later became the Washington ambassador of the young Armenian Republic which was founded under protection of the Ottoman Empire! If we surf through the 46 pages of this book, which may be readily downloaded by anyone, among a pile of written and photographed evidence, at least the followings should not be missed:
p.10 “…purpose of the writer in writing this booklet, is to make great American people realize that Armenians are not anemic and unaggressive people with no fighting blood in their veins; that the Armenians have not been butchered like sheep but on the contrary, have fought most bravely and resisted most stubbornly the savage attacks of the Turks, whenever they had an opportunity”.
p.16-17 “In the name of the Turkish government the above mentioned (CUP) mission, appealed to the Armenian Organization (during the August 1914 Dashnag Congress in Erzerum) with the following proposition: If the Armenians –the Turkish as well as the Russian Armenians- would give active cooperation under a German guarantee would promise after the war an autonomous Armenia made of Russian Armenia and the three Turkish vilayets of Erzerum, Van and Bitlis, under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire”. (Photo, showing Armenian volunteers of the Caucasus taking oath of allegiance administered by the church dignitaries before leaving for the battlefield in October 1914). Note: The Ottomans joined WW1 on November 2nd, 1914 but revolutions had started earlier!)
p.19 “The Armenian reservists, about 160.000 in the number gladly responded to the call, for the simple reason that they were to fight the arch enemy of their historic race! Besides regular soldiers, nearly 20.000 volunteers expressed their readiness to take up arms against the Turks”.
p.21 “Opposite Sarikamish, where a battle was waged for three days and nights, the Turks suffered a loss of 30.000 men, mostly due to the cold weather than to the Russian arms... This was invaluable service rendered to the Russian army by the fourth battalion of the Armenian volunteers under the command of matchless Keri. Six hundred Armenian veterans fell in the Barduz Pass, and at such a high price saved 60.000 Russians from being taken prisoners by the Turks.”
p.22 “…Andranik strongly enforced the trenches, repulsed the attacks of Khalil Bey for three days continuously until the Russians with the newly arrived forces from the Caucasus, were able to put to the fight of the army of Khalil Bey. Thirty-six hundred Turkish soldiers lay dead before the Armenian trenches in the course of those three days.” (For photo: taken in April 1915, of Armenian soldiers, next to captured Turkish guns inside Van fortress please view the book at given link).
.p.28 “…those few battalions of Armenian volunteers in 1914 and 1915, rendered to the Russians invaluable services, twice saving the right and left wings of the Russian army from an unavoidable catastrophe…”
p.31 “For example in 1916-1917 scarcely 8.000 to 10.000 Armenians were permitted to go back and inhabit the region of Van; the rest were compelled to stay within the borders of the Caucasus as refugees. There was talk of transferring to Siberia nearly 250.000 Turkish Armenian immigrants who had sought refuge in the Caucasus, because it was objected that no available lands existed there for them to settle”.
p.37 “In the battle of Karakilisa, and Erivan, early in June, the Armenians in two fierce battles drove back the Turks almost to their frontier. The battle lasted four days, the Turks left 6.000 dead before the Armenian posts and escaped to Alexandropol”… On June 14, in Batoum the Turkish delegates, together with the representatives of the Republic of Ararat, signed the first terms of armistice, leaving the final peace signature to the Congress of Constantinople, where final negations were to take place.
The delegates of the three nations of the Caucasus reached Constantinople on June 19. They were 32 in number. Among them were also representatives of the Republic of Ararat, Mr. A. Khatissoff, the minister of foreign affairs and Mr. Aharonian, the president of the Armenian National Council.”
p.38 “They (Germans and Turks) gave the greater part of the Armenian territories to the other two nations, and the remainder was claimed by Turkey, with the exception of 32.000 square kilometers (12.350 sq.miles) with 700.000 Armenian inhabitants, which were left to the Republic of Ararat…while the remaining 1.400.000 Armenians are left in the territories allotted to the Tartars or the Georgians.”
(Note: The Armenian Republic of Ararat, was a protectorate of the Ottoman Empire. The Armenian delegation was received by the Sultan on Sept.6, 1918, after which they cabled PM Khatchaznuni of the reception and prayers of the Sultan! There was no word of any massacre or bilateral claims at that time. However, after the Ottoman Empire surrendered on 30.10.1918 with the Murdros Armistice. The Armenian Republic declared full independence in late November 1918, attacked Ottoman lands with the help of British Forces in Persia. By April 1919, Mr. Aharonian president of the Armenian Parliament who was indebted to the Sultan, was in Paris as the head of the Armenian delegation together with Boghos Nubar, claiming half of Turkey as seen in the below map, and without any Moslem inhabitants. Details are in the next paragraph of Paris Memorandum)
p.44 “We consciously chose this last alternative, namely we tied our fate to the allied victory; we exposed our very existence to the danger in order to realize the complete fulfillment of our national ambition, that is to see the re-establishment of by the United Historic Independent Armenia.

3. MEMORANDUM GIVEN AT THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE RECONFIRMING TREASON & REVOLT
Below excerpts and map have been taken from the click or http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com/2008/06/2512-free-e-book-armenian-question.html which you can download, print and read the full details for additional clarification.
p.3 “…confirmed itself into and Independent Republic in the Caucasus, proclaimed the independence of Integral Armenia and brought that the fact to the attention of the Allied Governments by a note dated November 30, 1918.”
(Note: Since the Ottomans had surrendered on Oct.30th, the Armenian Republic broke up the “Protectorate” relation without hesitation a month later. Avetis Aharonian who was received by the Sultan in early September, had signed and presented to the Paris Peace Conference on Feb.26th 1919, this extravagant memorandum).
p.4 “Armenia has won the right to independence by her voluntary and spontaneous participation in the war on the three fronts of the Caucasus, of Syria and of France, and by sacrifice of hundreds and thousands of men, women and children who fell victim for the fidelity of the Entente cause, which she regarded from the beginning as her own cause. On the fields of battle, through massacre and deportation, Armenia has proportionately paid in this war a heavier tribute to death than any other belligerent nation.”
“In 1908 the Armenians lent the Young Turks hearty cooperation to bring about the overthrow of the Hamidian tyranny.”
p.5 “This agreement signed on February 8th, 1914 [to establish two autonomous inspectorates in the six provinces, to be ruled by Dutch governor Westenek and Norwegian Colonel Hoff] was torn into bits and cast into the waste basket by the Young Turks, when Germany started the Great War.
Under these conditions, the Young Turks offered to enter into an unholy compact with the Armenians: They proposed that the Armenians make common cause with the Tartars (Turks) to rise in rebellion against Russia, and in return, Turkey offered Armenia autonomy. Germany undertook to guarantee the proposal of her Turkish Ally. The Armenians unhesitatingly and categorically rejected this infamous offer. The vengeance of the Young Turks, coolly premeditated and announced in advance, was terrible”.
p.6 “Armenian volunteers fought on all the fronts. In France, in the Foreign Legion, by their bravery they covered themselves with glory. Scarcely one-tenth of their original number now survives. They fought in Syria and in Palestine, in the Legion of the Orient under French command, where they hurried in response to the call of the National Delegation… In the Caucasus, where over 150.000 Armenian men who served in the Russian army on all the fronts, an army of 50.000 men and thousands of volunteers fought throughout under the supreme command of General Nazarbekian… In addition thereto, by their resistance against the Turks until the conclusion of the armistice, they forced the Turks to send troops from Palestine to the Armenian front, and thus contributed indirectly to the victory of the Allied Army in Syria.”
p.7 “The voice of all Armenians, dead and alive must be heard! It is true that the Armenians do not constitute the majority of the population in Armenia, but they do constitute the plurality of the population… In 1914, there were in Armenia 1.400.000 Armenians, against 943.000 Turks and 482.000 Kurds…
But, number should not be the determining factor in the fixing the boundaries of our future State. Not only the rights of the dead and the degree of the civilization of the people should be considered, but the vital fact must not be lost sight of that Armenians are the only element in Armenia capable of setting up a civilized and free state.”
p.8 “In accordance with the principle set forth, the regions which must constitute the independent State of Armenia are the followings:
First: The seven vilayets of Van, Bitlis, Diarbakir, Harpoot, Sivas, Erzerum and Trebizond (in conformity with the provisions of the Reform Measure of February, 1914) excluding therefrom the regions situated to the south of the Ti gris and to the west of the Ordu-Sivas line.
Second: The four Cilician Sanjaks, i.e. Marash, Khozan (Sis), Djebel-Bereket and Adana, including Alexandretta”
p.9 “Third: All of the territory of the Armenian Republic of the Caucasus, comprising the province of Erivan, the southern part of the former Government of Tiflis, the vetpol, the province of Kars, except the region north of Ardahan (see annexed map)
p.10 Fourth: That an indemnity be fixed by the Peace Conference to repair all damages suffered by the Armenian Nation through massacres, deportations, plunder and destruction of property.
Fifth: That the aiding Power be charged with the following mandate:
(a) To bring about the evacuation by the Turks, Tartars and others of all the Armenian territories!
(b) To expel and punish those who participated in the massacres…
(d) To expel from the country all of the disturbing elements…
(f) Turkey must undertake to pay full value of all the requisitions… The Armenian religious authorities at Constantinople shall have the right to take possession of all national properties… etc…”
p.12 “The Armenian question is not essentially a local and national question; it concerns the peace of Europe, and upon its solution shall depend the pacification, the progress and the prosperity of the Near East.”

4. POPULATION CONTROVERSY AND INEXPLICABLE DISTORTIONS:
Below chart from click / http://armenians-1915.blogspot.com/2008/04/2429-new-e-book-genocide-of-truth-based.html gives the different figures at the time of compiling the book. The reader is expected to take his own guess of what the correct figure was. I consider the estimates marked (*) inflated, since they were aimed to prove righteousness to demand the huge land of land, as explained in above paragraph. I would give priority to line (l) or the report dated 1.3.1914 and prepared by the French-Armenian committee, for distribution of land to the settlers of the area, conform the “Reform Project” of February 1914, which was cancelled when the war started. Readers are asked to surf through the following pages of the book in this chapter, giving various other sources with reliable references regarding the numbers who were alive in 1914, or have been relocated and were still alive in 1918 when the Armenian Republic was founded under Ottoman Protection. Additional references about the “relocation” matter can be read in chapter 14 of the book, with losses and numbers confirmed to have safely arrived or living in various camps. I think that the total number of 1.500.000 Armenians living in 1914 is a close estimate with a +20% margin.

Below mathematical contradictions need to be explained in simple arithmetic and proven by all those who speak or write of 1.500.000 Armenians killed by genocide, out of the total maximum number of 1.500.000 … but leaving the following numbers still alive, according to their writings such as:
(a) Garekin Pastirmadjian, a leading warrior and writer of above book, in page 38 of his book (Par.2) speaks of 700.000 Armenians living in the lands left to Armenia plus 1.400.000 in the lands left to Georgia-Azerbaijan and Turkey, totaling to 2.100.000 alive. If this was to be true, it means that there were no deaths, but the population increased by 600.000!
(b) The official Armenian Delegation at the Paris Conference (Par.3) declares under page 7, that 1.400.000 Armenians are alive at that date, Feb. 1919!
(c) Boghos Nubar declared in his letter of 11.12.1918 that only 700.000 emigrated and that 880.000 were alive. Greek PM Venizelos also gave this number to the Paris Conference as 880.000 alive.
(d) George Montgomery an American Official at the Paris Conference gave a detailed tabulation showing 594.000 in Turkey + 450.000 in Caucasus + 60.000 in Persia = 1.104.000 alive in 1919 excluding those who immigrated to other countries.
(e) Armenian historian Akaby Nassibian gives the numbers 750.000 in Greece-Palestine-Syria according to the British Relief Committee, plus 400.000 or rather 500.000 emigrated to Russia
(f) German missionary J. Lepsius arrives at the figure 948.500 or rather 1.108.000 alive in 1921.
(g) At the Paris Conference, the Research Commission headed by Robert Lansing, Wilson’s State Secretary, presented their formal report dated March 29, 1919 in which the total losses were only 200.000 of which only 8.200 died in bilateral butcheries and 54.000 of other reasons in transit.
(h) Hovannes Katchaznuni, wrote that in 1919 there was 1 million Armenians but by 1921, 200.000 had died because of famine and plagues under the Dashnag rule.
(i) Armenian historian A.A. Lalaian wrote that there were 885.000 Armenians alive in 1918 in those areas, but that by 1920, 195.000 of them died of starvation in the young Republic of Armenia.
(j) And the last monumental document is the “Near East Relief Report” to be elaborated in the following paragraph, unanimously resolving that by December 31, 1921 a total of 1.414.000 Armenians were alive, most of them in need of help.
Simple Question of the Writer: Will any of the scholars, historians, free-pen slanderers, writers of all nationalities or politicians who claim that 1.500.000 Armenians were killed by a “genocide” (which has no location, time, unbiased witness, mass-graves, written documentation, etc.), show me by mathematic and logical proof, how you can arrive to such a mathematical conclusion, in the light of these written-irrefutable evidences? I do not want to believe your words as if I were a dupe! Please prove it openly; I am asking all parties interested or concerned!
5. NEAR EAST RELIEF REPORT, RESOLVED on April 20, 1922 in the joint U.S. CONGRESS & SENATE SESSION. Click or
This monument-like document surfaced after publishing of my book “The Genocide of Truth”. Below “Flier Sheet” was added to the books sent out by me only. The page is self-explanatory and challenging in respect of allegations of genocide, atrocities, numbers receiving aid (absolutely no Moslems) and numbers alive by the end of 1921.
FLIER SHEET for the book “THE GENOCIDE OF TRUTH” ISBN 9789756516249 - Istanbul Ticaret Universitesi, 2008
Ch. 2: “Ottoman Treat of Millets” - It confirms that CUP or Kemalist Turks helped-protected Relief !
Ch. 5: “Marvelous Missionaries” - It confirms that Turks never hindered Missionaries and Relief!
Ch. 7: “Distorting Realism” - It shows that HS 106 (Ch. 24) is an official distortion of above!
Ch.14: “Relocations-Arrivals” - It confirms that the figures of HS 106 and others are wrong!
Ch.15: “Population Controversy” - It proves that figures of Art. 1 of HS 106 and alike are all tall lies!
Ch.16: “Propaganda Fabrication - It shows that HS 106 is a propaganda fabrication of high degree!
Ch.17: “Proven Forgery to distort History”- Self-explanatory involving the supporters of HS 106!
Ch.18: “Charity & Relief Organizations” - It gives detailed a/c of over $ 52 million Relief to Christians only!
Ch.19: “Famine & Epidemics” - It implies deaths were caused by epidemics, famine and treks!
Ch 24: “The Success of Armenian Lobbies” - It proves that HS 106 Committee was misguided,
Page 4: It states that 300.000 Armenians returned to Cilicia after British-French occupation, but that they evacuated the region in 1921 after F. Bouillon’s Treaty with Kemalist Turks. It says that 200.000 to 300.000 Armenians were alive in Syria region -in need of help-. (Other sources said 150.000 only!)
Page 5 It states that at the time 1.000.000 are alive in Caucasus Armenia,- 500.000 in need of help!
Page 8: It gives account of 64.000 alive in 124 orphanages + 50.000 in the areas = 114.000 living.
Page 9: It states that 500.000 persons have migrated from Anatolia to Caucasus region. (Other sources had indicated this figure as 400.000). It lists various orphanages in occupied - unoccupied cities of the Ottoman Empire and Kemalists, showing that Turks never hindered their activities! Throughout the report, there is not a word of Turkish atrocities or refusal of cooperation or attacks on relief goods protected by famished soldiers or Turks, and that only Christians received subject Relief!
Articles 11 and 13 of HS 106 refer to previous Resolutions dated Feb.9th 1916, April 13th and May 11th, 1920 but MAKES NO MENTION OF ABOVE REPORT standing like an obelisk ! As a humble researcher, can I ask, the Honorable Congress Members:
Yes gentlemen, why you do not see this gigantic document, and keep acting as if it never existed!
If we are to “trust this important resolution taken by the US Congress & Senate in 1922”, all present charges of genocide, killings, atrocities become paradoxical to this official document.
Even more regrettable, is the complete ignorance of a multitude of scholars, writers, U.S. Senate-Congress Persons, (as well as those defending Turkish views) or even US Presidential Candidates, who are unaware of the existence of this obelisk-like document and still pursue HS.106, and similar absurd – unfounded – fabricated claims.
6. WELL… THEN! WHAT IS ALL THIS “G” FANFARE ABOUT?
(A) A prominent Armenian book writer and man of universal ethics wrote in a very recent essay, some typical Armenian prejudices. Some can be read at this blog site (ref.2592 and others)
* “…the hardest thing is to make an Armenian enemy a friend”
* “… who allow themselves to be brainwashed and manipulated by fund-raising panchoonies for whom the welfare of the people rates far below their own powers and privileges”.
* “Victims of foreign despots, victims of domestic wheeler-dealers, victims of our own narcissism, we are citizens of Victimistan”
* “We should speak less of genocide and more of genosuicide if only because the first is history and the second an ongoing policy implemented by corrupt and incompetent leaders whose number one concern is not the welfare of the people but their own powers and privileges”
(B) My book’s last chapter gives a multitude of “wheeler-dealer” letters, all ending with the unchanged last sentence. Send on-line donation right-now… Here is one of the many ANCA letters, dated Oct.12,2007:
-“House Foreign Affairs Committee… voted 27 to 21 to approve the Armenian Genocide.
- We won this battle despite a very visible public attack by President Bush.
- We had power to stay strong because of the secure on-line donations send by you and thousands of devoted and generous people like you
- We are winning the battle in the Congress and in the media – not because we have the most of the money like Turkey but because we have the truth on our side…
- And just because as importantly because we are blessed with devoted caring Armenians like you… with their secure on-line donations… so right now please send $ 100, $ 500, $ 1000 or whatever you can afford!
Signed – Ken Hachikian – Chairman
(C) Again ANCA in an update of Sept.30, 2008 sent out on Oct.1,2008 brags “MENENDEZ HAMMERS TURKEY’S HISTORICAL COMMISSION PROPOSAL” also referring to Joe Biden, Russ Feingold…
(D) Again ANCA in their letter sent out on Oct.3, 2008, brag about having Anna Eshoo and Jackie Speeder in the US Congress and ask support of their community to send David Krikorian as well to the Congress… The letter ends with usual: “Join me in donating whatever you can, $ 23, $ 230 or the maximum of $ 2300 your secure online donation…
Signed – Aram Hamparian – Executive Director “
CONCLUSION and WISH OF THE WRITER:
This short résumé is not aimed to pursue any friction, animosity or competition in differentiation by race, nationality or personal beliefs! On the contrary, it is a challenge to clever charlatans as read above, cheating humans for their personal benefits, by exploitation of personal feelings, other than humane values common to all! I excerpt from p.662-663 of my book, the following closing sentence of an article of the “Reno Evening Gazette” of October 14, 1915:
“If this country, therefore, does not want to appear foolish before the whole world, it will refuse to be duped by impossible tales and let the Armenians severely alone”.
This essay and the sources that I have used should prove that I refused to be duped!
In that context, I openly express my thanks to all and those Armenians (mostly of Turkish origin) who struggle for TRUTH and COMPASSION, be it in my country or somewhere in the world, where decent persons cherish the same ethical values during their short lives.
