Keep reading Martin Kramer....who is he? {Well, amongst other things, he certainly has a sense of humour}


In discussing the way Turkey is treating novelist Ohan Pamuk {2} wiki: Ohan Pamuk, he mentions the Paris court judgement against historian Bernard Lewis, which Kramer calls Orwellian.


Everything I have read about the Armenian Genocide (including Ashile Gorky's involvement) tell me there is no other word you can use but genocide.

The Armenian genocide pushed a lot of Armenian refugees into Iraq where they stayed and prospered. I lived in the Armenian quarter for part of my five year stay in Baghdad and had an Armenian friend called Haraj - though I don't know if the spelling is correct. You will find a reminiscence of him in baghdadskies I wonder if he still in Iraq?

In this wiki: Armenian Genocide resources entry there are references for the case against genocide
