  • Breaking the Ice: the Role of Civil
    The failure of the 2009 Protocols to establish and develop diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey has largely overshadowed the success of civil society organizations in advancing the normalization process over the past decade. This report aims to help address this imbalance through a detailed account Breaking the Ice: of the United States Department of State-funded “Dialogue-Building between Turkey and Armenia” project, implemented by the Global Political Trends Center (GPoT) of Istanbul Kültür University, Internews Network, Internews Armenia, the Yerevan Press Club and CAM Film between September 2010 and December 2011. The Role of Civil Society and Media in Including an introduction that analyzes the current “frozen” state and historical background of Turkish- Armenian relations, Breaking the Ice: The Role of Civil Society and Media in Turkey-Armenia Relations presents the writings and reflections of the dozens of Turkish and Armenian journalists and students who participated in the project. The output of the Dialogue-Building Project demonstrates the continued, if not Turkey-Armenia Relations heightened, importance of civil society and media-based initiatives in the Turkey-Armenia normalization process, post-Protocols. Susae Elanchenny & Narod Maraşlıyan Since its founding in 2008, GPoT Center has played an active role in rapprochement and reconciliation projects between Turkey and Armenia through organizing numerous exchanges, roundtable discussions and conferences with the participation of leading Turkish civil society activists, academics, journalists and retired diplomats.

They’re like lawyers. No one wants to go to one, but when you need one...you need one! The earliest documented institutions aiming to provide cures were ancient Egyptian temples. In Ancient Greece, temples dedicated to the healer-god Asclepius functioned as hospitals. India had hospitals at least No. 373 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-February 2016 Page 2 as early as c. 400 BC. Historically, hospitals were normally founded and funded by religious orders or charitable groups or individuals. Nearly 100,000 Americans are hospitalized every day, which means nearly 40 million every year. It’s difficult to compare and rank all hospitals. They differ greatly in service, results, etc., but many specialize in certain areas. For example: the Anderson Cancer Center in Huston is ranked no. 1 in cancer treatment; the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is ranked no. 1 in cardiology and heart surgery; and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City is ranked no. 1 in Orthopedics. Still, a U.S. News & World Report listing of the top ten best U.S. hospitals, released last year, gives the following: 1. Massachusetts General Hospital 2. Mayo Clinic 3. UCLA Medical Center (tied) 3. Johns Hopkins Hospital (tied) 5. Cleveland Clinic 6. Brigham and Women’s Hospital 7. New York-Presbyterian University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell 8.

  • Why Did President Obama Not Recognize the Armenian Genocide?
    Ad Americam. Journal of American Studies 22 (2021): ISSN: 1896-9461, https://doi.org/10.12797/AdAmericam.22.2021.22.07 Licensing information: CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 Julien Zarifian CY Cergy Paris University, Cergy, France Institut Universitaire de France, Paris, France [email protected] Why did President Obama not recognize the Armenian Genocide? Hints from the Obama administration memoirs – and other sources This paper discusses the reasons and processes that led the Obama administration to not recognize the Armenian Genocide. Although Barack Obama had promised he would do so during his presidential campaign of 2008, he never did once in office, despite many of his administration members, including Vice-President Joe Biden and Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, having strong records in support of such a recognition. To investigate this hitherto poorly explored question, this paper uses primarily — although not exclusively — memoirs written by Barack Obama and members his administration, some of them addressing the issue directly, others dealing with it indirectly. This study fo- cuses on President Obama’s personal choice, and therefore responsibility, to not recognize the genocide, but also expands on the geopolitical determinants of this non-recognition (related mostly to the geostrategic importance of Turkey) as well as on its diplomatic aspects (involving particularly the argument that US recognition would hamper a hypo- thetical Turkey-Armenia rapprochement). Two episodes of possible presidential recogni- tion of the genocide will be particularly discussed; one in April 2009 (three months after Obama became president of the United States and coinciding with April 24, the anniver- sary of the genocide), and the other in 2015 (corresponding to its centenary).
