The AGMI has been collecting and cataloging photos documenting the Armenian Genocide with the aim of constructing a complete picture of the first genocide of the 20th century. Friday October 24, 2008 Turkey is Trying to Sway Armenia on Commission Issue, Says Hovsepian ²ðºôØîº²Ü ²ØºðÆβÚÆ Èð²Ðàêø 10-22-08 ELECTION DAY VOTE V ote NO on Proposition # 9 _________________________ Proposition 9 is unjustly designed to change the existing procedures for granting parole to convicted individuals. If adopted, it will raise Obama/Biden The Right Choice For the waiting period for parole hearings up to fifteen years. This Armenian Americans change will directly affect Hampig Sassounian's case. Hampig Sassounian has been in prison since 1982. His conviction was overturned by the United States Court of Appeal in 2001 based on major prosecutorial and jury misconduct. Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley decided to re-try the case in 2002. As a result Hampig took a plea bargain which entitles him to parole, based upon his 25 year to life sentence. Though he was denied parole at his first hearing last year he is entitled to a Parole hearing ever 2 years. If Proposition 9 were to pass he would only be eligible for a parole hearing every 15 YEARS! Besides being patently unfair, such a Proposition would essentially return Hampig to a life imprisonment sentence, something that is unacceptable for all freedom and justice loving people who recognize that his case in many ways represented a scapegoating of our community and our nation for the monumental crimes of others. Please don't let Hampig essentially be once again re-sentenced to life Wednesday October 22, 2008 imprisonment. On November 4, Vote NO on Proposition # 9 Swiss Court Finds Turks Guilty for Denying Genocide . àã ÂÇõ 9ÇÝ ²Ûëûñ åÇïÇ ÷áË»Ýù ϳñ·Á áõ ³é³ç ³ÝóÝ»Éáíª åÇïÇ Ý»ñϳ۳óÝ»Ýù ø³ÉÇýáñÝÇáÛ Ý³Ñ³Ý·³ÛÇÝ ùáõ¿³ñÏáõû³Ýó ¹ñáõ³Í ÃÇõ ÇÝÁ ûñÇݳ·ÇÍÁ: ²ÝÙÇç³å¿ë Û³ÛïÝ»Ù, áñ ³Ûëï»Õ Ï³Û ³ÛÉ ï»ë³ÏÇ ß³Ñ³·ñ·éáõÃÇõÝ, ³½·³ÛÇÝ Ï³Ù ½áõï Ù³ñ¹Ï³ÛÇÝ ÙÕáõÙ ÙÁ, ·ñ»Ã¿ å³ï³ÝÇ ï³ñÇùÇÝ, ³é³Ýó Ý»ñáõÙÇ Ñݳñ³õáñáõû³Ý, óÏ»³Ýë µ³Ýï³ñÏáõû³Ý ¹³ï³å³ñïáõ³Í, ѻﳷ³ÛÇÝ, ¹Åµ³Ëï³µ³ñ ß³ï áõß, Ýáñ Û³ÛïÝáõû³Ýó µ»ñáõÙáíª §³é³Ýó Ý»ñáõÙǦ ϳñ·³íÇ×³Ï¿Ý ³½³ïáõ³Í áõ Ý»ñÙ³Ý Ñݳñ³õáñáõû³Ùµ Çñ µ³Ýï³ñÏáõÃÇõÝÁ ß³ñáõݳÏáÕ Ð³ÙµÇÏ ê³ëáõÝ»³ÝÇ ×³Ï³ï³·ñáí Ù»ñ Ùï³Ñá·áõÃÇõÝÁ: ÐáÏï»Ùµ»ñÇ 13-ÇÝ Ð-1 ºÃ¿ §³é³Ýó Ý»ñáõÙ¦Ç í×ÇéÁ ³õ»ÉÇ Ï³ÝáõË Û³ÛïÝáõ¿ñ, ѳõ³Ý³µ³ñ ûñáõ³Ý Ñ»éáõëï³ÁÝÏ»ñáõÃÛ³Ý §25 ñá廦 ù³Õ³ù³Ï³Ý ÙÃÝáÉáñïÁ µáÉáñáíÇÝ ³ÛÉ ÁÉɳñ, áõ ³õ»ÉÇ ¹ÇõñÇÝ ÁÉɳñ ѳÕáñ¹³ß³ñÇ ÑÛáõñÝ ¿ñ ÐÚ¸ ´ÛáõñáÛÇ Ð³ÙµÇÏÇÝ ³½³ïáõÃÇõÝÁ: ²Ûëûñáõ³Ý ù³Õ³ù³Ï³Ý ÙÃÝáÉáñïÁ ²Ù»ñÇϳÛÇ Ødzó»³É ܳѳݷݻñáõ ï³ñ³ÍùÇÝ, Ý»ñϳ۳óáõóÇã Ðð²Üî زð¶²ðÚ²ÜÀ Ãñù³Ï³Ý ϳé³í³ñáõû³Ý ³é³õ»É Ùßï³Ï³Ý Ñ»ï³åݹáõÙÁ ³Ûë ѳñóÇÝ, ·ñ»Ã¿ ³Ýϳñ»ÉÇ ¹³ñÓáõó³Í »Ý гٵÇÏÇÝ, ³ñ¹¿Ý ѳëáõÝ ïÕ³Ù³ñ¹ ³Ûë ѳÛáñ¹ÇÇÝ ³½³ïáõÃÇõÝÁ: ÂÇõ ÇÝÁ ³é³ç³ñÏáõÃÇõÝÁ, í³õ»ñ³óÙ³Ý å³ñ³·³ÛÇÝ, ³õ»ÉÇ ÇëÏ åÇïÇ Í³Ýñ³óÝ¿ гٵÇÏÇÝ íÇ׳ÏÁ: êïáñ»õ Ý»ñϳ۳óÝ»Éáí гٵÇÏ ê³ëáõÝ»³ÝÇ ä³ßïå³Ý Û³ÝÓݳËáõÙµÇÝ ³Ûë ³éÃÇõ Ññ³å³ñ³Ï³Í ѳÕáñ¹³·ñáõÃÇõÝÁ, ÏÁ Û³ÛïÝ»Ù, áñ Áݹ³é³ç»Éáí ³Ûëï»Õ ÑÝãáÕ ÏáãÇݪ »ë ¹¿Ù åÇïÇ ùáõ¿³ñϻ٠ÃÇõ ÇÝÁ ³é³ç³ñÏáõû³Ý: ÂÇõ 9 ³é³ç³ñÏáõÃÇõÝÁ ³Ý³ñ¹³ñûñ¿Ý å³ïñ³ëïáõ³Í ¿, ¹³ï³å³ñï»³É µ³Ýï³ñÏ»³ÉÝ»ñáõÝ Ý»ñáõÙ ßÝáñÑ»Éáõ Ý»ñÏ³Û ·áñÍÁÝóóÁ ÷áË»Éáõ Ýå³ï³Ïáí: ºÃ¿ ³é³ç³ñÏáõÃÇõÝÁ áñ¹»·ñáõÇ, ³å³ Ý»ñÙ³Ý ¹ÇÙáõÙ Ý»ñϳ۳óÝáÕÝ»ñÁ ÏñÝ³Ý ÙÇÝã»õ 15 ï³ñÇ ëå³ë»Éª Çñ»Ýó ùÝݳñÏÙ³Ý Ï³ñ·ÇÝ Ñ³ëÝ»Éáõ ѳٳñ: öá÷áËáõÃÇõÝÁ áõÕÕ³ÏÇ åÇïÇ ³½¹¿ гٵÇÏ ê³ëáõÝ»³ÝÇ ¹³ïÇÝ: 1982¿Ý Ç í»ñ µ³Ýï³ñÏáõ³Í гٵÇÏ ê³ëáõÝ»³ÝÇ ¹³ï³í×ÇéÁ 2001ÇÝ µ»Ï³Ýáõ»ó³õ Ødzó»³É ܳѳݷݻñáõ í×é³µ»Ï ³ï»³ÝÇÝ ÏáÕÙ¿, ¹³ï³Ë³½áõû³Ý »õ ¹³ï³Ï³½ÙÇÝ Éáõñç ë˳ÉÝ»ñáõÝ Ñ»ï»õ³Ýùáí: Èáë ²Ý×»ÉÁë ·³õ³éÇ ßñç³Ý³ÛÇÝ ¹³ï³Ë³½ êÃÇõ Turkey Hires Former Bush Official to Lobby Jewish øáõÉÇ 2002ÇÝ áñáß»ó ¹³ïÁ í»ñ³µ³Ý³É, áñáõÝ Çµñ»õ Ñ»ï»õ³Ýù, гٵÇÏ, ÝϳïÇ Groups Against Genocide Recognition áõݻݳÉáí ½ÇÝù 25 ï³ñÇ¿Ý óÏ»³Ýë µ³Ýï³ñÏáõû³Ý ¹³ï³å³ñïáÕ í×ÇéÁª ¹³ï³Ë³½áõû³Ý Ñ»ï ѳٳӳÛÝáõÃÇõÝ ÙÁ ·áÛ³óáõó Ý»ñÙ³Ý Ñݳñ³õáñáõÃÇõÝ ³å³Ñáí»Éáõ Ýå³ï³Ïáí: гϳé³Ï ³ÛÝ ÇñáÕáõû³Ý, áñ ³Ýáñ ³Ýó»³É ï³ñáõ³Ý Ý»ñÙ³Ý Tuesday October 21, 2008 ¹ÇÙáõÙÁ Ù»ñÅáõ»ó³õ, Ý»ñÏ³Û ûñ¿Ýùáí ³Ý Çñ³õáõÝù áõÝÇ »ñÏáõ ï³ñÇÝ ³Ý·³Ù ÙÁ ÏñÏÇÝ ¹ÇÙáõ٠ϳï³ñ»Éáõ: ê³Ï³ÛÝ »Ã¿ ÃÇõ 9 ³é³ç³ñÏáõÃÇõÝÁ í³õ»ñ³óáõÇ, ³å³ Capacity Crowd Celebrates Community's Achievements гٵÇÏ Ñ³½Çõ 15 ï³ñÇ¿Ý Çñ³õáõÝù åÇïÇ áõÝ»Ý³Û Ý»ñÙ³Ý ¹ÇÙáõ٠ϳï³ñ»Éáõ: at ANC-WR Banquet ²Ý³ñ¹³ñ ÁÉɳÉáõÝ ÏáÕùÇÝ, ³é³ç³ñÏáõû³Ý í³õ»ñ³óáõÙÁ гٵÇÏÇÝ Ñ³Ù³ñ ѳٳ½ûñ åÇïÇ ÁÉÉ³Û óÙ³Ñ µ³Ýï³ñÏáõû³Ý, µ³Ý ÙÁ, áñ ³ÝÁݹáõÝ»ÉÇ ¿ To view event photo gallery please visit: ³ñ¹³ñáõû³Ý »õ ³½³ïáõû³Ý ç³ï³·áí µáÉáñ ù³Õ³ù³óÇÝ»ñáõÝ Ñ³Ù³ñ, áñáÝù ÏÁ www.ancwr.vibsco.net.

  • Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio Between the US and Syria
    Song, State, Sawa Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Beau Bothwell All rights reserved ABSTRACT Song, State, Sawa: Music and Political Radio between the US and Syria Beau Bothwell This dissertation is a study of popular music and state-controlled radio broadcasting in the Arabic-speaking world, focusing on Syria and the Syrian radioscape, and a set of American stations named Radio Sawa. I examine American and Syrian politically directed broadcasts as multi-faceted objects around which broadcasters and listeners often differ not only in goals, operating assumptions, and political beliefs, but also in how they fundamentally conceptualize the practice of listening to the radio. Beginning with the history of international broadcasting in the Middle East, I analyze the institutional theories under which music is employed as a tool of American and Syrian policy, the imagined youths to whom the musical messages are addressed, and the actual sonic content tasked with political persuasion. At the reception side of the broadcaster-listener interaction, this dissertation addresses the auditory practices, histories of radio, and theories of music through which listeners in the sonic environment of Damascus, Syria create locally relevant meaning out of music and radio. Drawing on theories of listening and communication developed in historical musicology and ethnomusicology, science and technology studies, and recent transnational ethnographic and media studies, as well as on theories of listening developed in the Arabic public discourse about popular music, my dissertation outlines the intersection of the hypothetical listeners defined by the US and Syrian governments in their efforts to use music for political ends, and the actual people who turn on the radio to hear the music.

  • Armenian Terrorism: a Reappraisal
    Gunter 5/13/09 6:51 PM Page 109 The Journal of Conflict Studies Armenian Terrorism: A Reappraisal by Michael M. Gunter ABSTRACT This article reappraises the strategic impact of Armenian terrorism in the twentieth century. From 1973 to 1985, Armenian terrorists earned a deadly and infamous international reputation by murdering Turkish diplomats or members of their families, along with many other non-involved third parties killed in the crossfire, during 188 terrorist operations worldwide. By the mid-1980s, however, Armenian terrorists had fallen into mindless but deadly internal fighting that resulted in the deaths of several of their leading mem- bers. Yet even with the benefit of 20 years of hindsight, it remains dif- ficult to assess definitively the strategic influence exerted by Armenian terrorism. It was an excellent example of how one person’s terrorist can be viewed by some as another’s freedom fighter. In seek- ing revenge for past perceived wrongs and in pursuit of the goal of an independent state, Armenian terrorism also shared common characteristics with such other ethnic-based terrorist movements as the Irish and Palestinians. Although by practically all conventional standards of measurement its ultimate strategic impact was virtually nil, some might still argue that Armenian terrorism did help preserve the memory of what many call the twentieth-century’s first or forgot- ten genocide. INTRODUCTION Tacitly supported by many Armenians and others throughout the world as legitimate revenge for what most observers viewed as genocide1 in the First World War, Armenian terrorism in the twentieth century was an excellent exam- ple of how one person’s terrorist can be viewed by some as another’s freedom fighter.

  • Stalin's Baku Curve: a Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution
    Stalin’s Baku Curve: A Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution by Fuad Akhundov A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Education Leadership Higher and Adult Education, OISE University of Toronto © Copyright by Fuad Akhundov 2016 Stalin’s Baku Curve: A Detonating Mixture of Crime and Revolution Fuad Akhundov Master of Arts in Education Leadership Higher and Adult Education, OISE University of Toronto 2016 Abstract The Stalin’s Baku Curve, a Detonating Mix of Crime and Revolution presents a brief insight into the early period of activities of one of the most ominous political figures of the 20th century – Joseph Stalin. The major emphasis of the work is made on Stalin’s period in Baku in 1902-1910. A rapidly growing industrial hub providing almost half of the world’s crude oil, Baku was in the meantime a brewery of revolutionary ideas. Heavily imbued with crime, corruption and ethnic tensions, the whole environment provided an excellent opportunity for Stalin to undergo his “revolutionary universities” through extortion, racketeering, revolutionary propaganda and substantial incarceration in Baku’s famous Bailov prison. Along with this, the Baku period brought Stalin into close contact with the then Russian secret police, Okhranka. This left an indelible imprint on Stalin’s character and ruling style as an irremovable leader of the Soviet empire for almost three decades. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work became possible due to the tremendous input of several scholars whom I want to hereby recognize. The first person I owe the paper Stalin’s Baku Curve, a Detonating Mix of Crime and Revolution to is Simon Sebag Montefiore, an indefatigable researcher of former Soviet and pre-Soviet history whom I had a pleasure of working with in Baku back in 1995.
