US President Barack Obama used Medz Yeghern in his annual commemoration message addressing the Armenians on 24 April. He used these two words in 2009 and 2010 and he might be using it in the coming 2 years before the end of his term. What is the exact meaning of these two words? Are they equivalent of Genocide or have different meanings?

You are invited to participate in a debate about the exact meaning of "Medz Yeghern" and whether it should be used in a context related to Armenian Genocide. Participate here.

A wonderful book. It definitely has taken a lot of research and work to achieve this masterpiece. A book not to miss in every Armenian and non-Armenian school and household.

Congratulations brothers and sisters Armenians worldwide!

Some of you are familiar with the efforts we are exerting to prevent the demolition of the last home of General Andranik, situated in Galata district, Varna, Bulgaria. I’m more than proud to announce to you our latest achievement, here on Bulgarian territory. After intensive negotiations on our part with the residents of the district, the Mayor of the district and the city administration, the central square in Galata district was renamed “General Andranik”.

We would like to thank everyone who supportеd us in our fight to preserve General Andranik’s legacy and the Armenian history and culture in general!

SACRAMENTO – California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has once again proclaimed the week of April 19-26 as “Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide,” the Armenian National Committee’s Western Region offices reported on Thursday.

We present the proclamation below:

It is important to remember the horrors of the past in order to keep history from repeating itself.  The Armenian Genocide was a terrible breach of human rights and an event that has outraged the world.  Between 1915 and 1923, 1.5 million innocent Armenians lost their lives at the hands of the Ottoman Empire, and 500,000 more were forced from their homeland.

The atrocities carried out against the Armenian people were grave and unimaginable, as they were subjected to deportation, abduction, torture, starvation and more.  And as with any violent conflict, Armenian women and children suffered the worst abuses.  The bulk of the Armenian population that was displaced from their homes was forced to escape to neighboring as well as faraway countries.  Many fled to the United States.

Today, California is honored to be home to a vibrant Armenian-American population, the largest outside the Republic of Armenia.  This thriving community is a proud reminder of survival and determination even in the face of extreme injustice.

As Americans and Californians, it is our duty to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide and to participate in the remembrance and mourning of the loss of innocent lives.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim April 19-26, 2010, as “Days of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 8th day of April 2010.

Ձեր գրութեան հարիւր տոկոսով համամիտ եմ՝ մանաւանդ խառն ամուսնութիւններու պարագային:

Մեզ դժբախտութիւն է լսել հայ մանուկներ, որոնք հայերէն չեն խօսիր այլ անգլերէն, որովհետեւ "cool" է իրենց միջավայրին մէջ:

Իմ ընտանիքս Պոսթոն (ԱՄՆ) կ՛ապրին եւ երբ եղբայրներուս զաւակները անգլերէն կը խօսին, կ՛ըսեմ հայերէն խօսեցէ՛ք: Եղբօրս տղան տակաւին հինգ տարեկան է, երբ իմ սենեակ մտնելս տեսնէ «հայերէն խօսեցէ՛ք»-ը եկաւ կ՛ըսէ:

Մէկ ձեռքով ծափ չ՛ըլլար: Պէտք է բոլոր հայութիւնը այս ուղղութեամբ աշխատի, մեր մշակոյթը, լեզուն պահպանելու համար:

Հայեցի ուսում եւ դաստիարակութիւն ստացած՝ կը նեղանամ, երբ լսեմ այսօրուայ հայ երիտասարդութիւնը անգլերէն կը խօսի իրար հետ փոխան հայերէնի:

Եթէ այսպէս շարունակուի... հայ ազգը պիտի չմնայ: Դժբախտութիւն է բայց դէպի հոն կ՛երթանք կը խորհիմ:

Ջերմ բարեւներով՝

Տիկին Սալբի Ստեփանեան

Մոնրէալ, Գանատա

A performer of folklore Kessab songs. Kessab is an Armenian-populated town and surrounding villages in Northwestern Syria. The special dialect of the Kessabtsiz is somehow preserved up to these days, although the modern generation uses standard Western Armenian. Trtrian has preserved some of the traditional songs and has also written some of his own songs. He appears in weddings and other occasions. He is originally from Chakaljokh village.
