Much-needed MRI Machine for Armenia
Keghart.com Team Editorial, 20 September 2010
Some $300,000 was pledged for an MRI machine, to be donated to Armenia, at the gala fundraiser of the Armenian-Canadian Medical Association of Ontario (ACMAO) in Toronto on Sept. 11. Richard Muir and his Jericho Foundation donated $150,000 of that amount. The event featured guest speaker Dr. Raymond Damadian, the famed inventor of the MRI machine. The 360 attendees at the Canadian National Exhibition's Liberty Grand building included 50 young professionals, in addition to Armenians from a wide cross-section of the community.
At the top of the evening's agenda was to raise funds to purchase, transport and install an MRI machine with 1.5 Tesla (magnetic flux density) at the Arapgir Children’s Hospital in Yerevan. It will be the first and only one of this capacity in Armenia. It is anticipated that the advanced machine will be installed next spring.
Dr. Gevork Mnatzakanian, the MC of the evening, opened the gala by welcoming the audience. Dr. Avedis Bogosyan, president of the Armenian Medical International Committee (AMIC), extended the greetings of his group and underlined the important work ACMAO does in Artsakh and in Armenia.
ACMAO president Dr. Jack Sakarya delivered a brief and touching message, encouraging attendees to donate to the MRI fund. Dr. Berge Minassian reviewed the work ACMAO has done in Armenia and in Artsakh. He also presented a short video from Armenia, demonstrating the difference a cutting-edge MRI would make in diagnosing and treating patients.
Following Dr. Minassian's presentation, keynote speaker Dr. Damadian took to the podium. His wide-ranging speech included such topics as creationism and the Na-K (sodium-potassium) exchange within a cell whose investigation ultimately led to the invention of MRI. Through video clips and vivid images he demonstrated what goes on inside the body when a person is ailing. MRI, with its modern applications, not only sees through the coverings of the body (skin and bone, etc.), but also minute details within the target tissue. It can inspect the entire body. For example, it can find the origin or extent of the spread of cancer. The entire world has benefited from the invention. It's probably the most important contemporary medical discovery--and it's all the brainchild of the son of a Kayseretsi Armenian. Dr. Damadian's father was saved from the march to Der el-Zor--the "Killing Fields of the Armenian Genocide"-- by his brother in Boston who sent money to bribe the Turkish gendarmes to sell him to a Turk who delivered Damadian's father to American missionaries.
Dr. Damadian's speech was followed by an auction. Articles included a wide variety of items, topping all was painter Armand Tatossian's "Serendipity" which has an estimated retail value of $22,000. As in previous ACMAO's gala events, the fundraiser was a success deserving praise and congratulations.
We are all aware of the gloomy economic conditions in our homeland. We know about the structural problems and the dire state of health care delivery in Armenia. Let us complement the already-raised MRI purchase funds to cover expenses related to the training of technicians and radiology specialists who will operate the machine. The medical gift to our Hayastan is a cause worthy of your support and is tax deductible. It will make a substantial difference in health care delivery in Armenia. To donate to the fund, please visit ACMAO's website .

Shame in the Sun
Keghart.com Team Editorial, 1 September 2010
Another summer expires, and another vacation season starts to wind down, except for citizens of Armenia heading to Antalya, where the season continues well into October.
In 2009 some 50,000 such Armenians vacationed in Turkey, many of them in Antalya on the Mediterranean. In 2010 that embarrassing statistic soared by 30% for tourists headed to Antalya. Next year’s expected increase in the number of Turkey-bound Armenian tourists will be even more painful and incomprehensible to people who see the vacations as an insult to the Armenian nation.
At least two charter flights per week served the Yerevan-Antalya route in July and August. The aircraft were leased from Armavia, Armenia’s national airline. Ani Tour, one of the Armenia tour packagers, is planning to offer next year additional Turkish destinations such as Bodrum.
These shameful vacations by citizens of Armenia are a knife into the heart of the Armenian nation. Let’s consider why they are wrong, wrong, and wrong.
It’s immoral for an Armenian to vacation in Turkey, including the “pilgrimage” to Aghtamar in mid-September.
These selfish vacationers, who are opting for Turkish destinations, are sabotaging the Armenian campaign to persuade Turkey to recognize the Genocide, and to make reparations.
These unconscionable tourists send the wrong signal to the government of Turkey and to governments around the world, making them believe that we have conceded defeat in our struggle against Turkish intransigence and denialism.
These sunny vacation destinations are located in areas where Armenians inhabited for thousands of years, and where they were either slaughtered or driven out by the Turkish government barely a century ago.
These outrageous vacations help boost the economy of our enemy—the same enemy which is blockading Armenia and is aiding Azerbaijan (Turkey Jr.) politically, diplomatically and militarily.
Impoverished, cash-strapped Armenia can’t afford the outlay of millions of dollars, via these abominable vacations.
A typical one-week Yerevan to Antalya vacation costs $750, while other vacations can have a price tag as high as $2,000. According to global economic surveys, the average annual income of an Armenian citizen is 101,700. This is about $2,700 per year or $225 per month. In other words, the price of an Antalya vacation is equal to three months of wages for the average Armenian. Imagine a North American, with an annual income of $50,000, spending $17,000 for a week’s vacation.
So who are these citizens of Armenia who are spending $750 for a week’s vacation in the enemy’s resorts? Obviously, not the average citizen of Armenia, but the financial elite who have swallowed the Western Dream (the divine bottom line, the focus on the pleasure principle, taking care of numero uno first and foremost) and don’t give a dram for the national interests of Armenians.
It’s not as if these outrageous vacationers have no non-Turkish options. In northeast Black Sea, hour or so flying time from Yerevan, there are seven Russian towns dedicated to tourism, according to Oliver Bullough’s recent book—“Let Our Fame Be Great.” Anapa, at the northern tip of the Black Sea Riviera, has 600 hotels, reports Bullough. South of it are the mostly-resort towns of Novorossiysk, Gelenzhik, Arkhip Osiparka, Tuapse, Lazarevskoye, Sochi, and Adler. Near Sochi is Krasnaya Polyana, the locale of the Winter Olympics in 2016. West of Anapa are the famed resort areas of Crimea and the Sea of Azov.
Away from the former Soviet resort areas are other great tourist destinations such as Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, perhaps Iran. Closer to home are Shusha and Kelbajar, top vacation destinations in Soviet times. But typically, the government of Armenia has shown no initiative, other than talk, about building an airport in Artsakh. Thus a trip to these two Artsakh destinations involves four hours of driving. And typically for the government of Armenia, it allows its national airline—Armavia—to lease planes to the money-hungry opportunists who want to send Armenians and Armenia money to Turkey. A month ago, when the Jordanian opposition parties and unions protested the Amman government’s decision to allow the promotion of tourist packages to Israeli-occupied Arab Jerusalem, the government backed down. Why don’t Armenian political parties, which are opposed to these disgraceful Turkish tour packages, don’t tell the Serzh Sargyan government to discourage these vacations? Meanwhile, the Armenian government has no accurate statistics about the number of Armenians vacationing in Turkey because Yerevan-based tour packagers are reluctant to reveal the disgraceful numbers.
Last but not least…Turkey isn’t the safest country for Armenians—resident or vacationer. This past summer a pregnant Armenian vacationer (Ann Davityan) was killed in Antalya. Her body, which the murderer(s) dumped into a canal, had signs of torture. Because Yerevan and Ankara have no diplomatic relations-- thanks to the latter’s bellicosity--it took many days to transport Ms. Davityan’s body to Yerevan. As well, members of an Armenia family vacationing in Turkey were beaten by the staff of their hotel and then detained by police. After spending a night in jail, the family was allowed to return to Armenia. Yet Yerevan did not protest to Turkey or inform citizens of Armenia what could happen to them on a Turkish vacation.
When Armenia became independent, thousands of small merchants—many of them women—travelled to Istanbul, to import consumer goods to Armenia. This was an unfortunate but understandable development since Armenians were desperate for consumer goods and the budding amateur merchants—nicknamed “suitcase bizinessmeny”—were in dire need of money. That phase was something the Armenian nation could understand, but vacationing in Turkey is another kettle of fish.
These vacationing Armenians are putting their pleasure ahead of the vital interests of their people. They are stomping on Armenian national rights for a week in the sun. They are selling their national patrimony for a suntan.
In the ‘60s, when Turkish movies began to appear on Beirut theatre screens, the Armenian community successfully urged Armenians not to attend these asinine Turkish soap operas and comedies. If the Lebanese-Armenian leaders could drive the made-in-Turkey movies out of town, why can’t the Sargsyan administration put a stop to this humiliation?
One wonders what the “Armenian” vacationers think as their Airbus 300 flies over historic Armenia. Do they look outside the plane’s porthole and think of our countless scarred and imprisoned monuments 30,000 ft below? Do they invest a second in thinking of Haig Nahabed, Medzn Dikran, the Mamigonians, Movses Khorenatsi, Toros Roslin, the Cilician Kingdom, Khrimian Hayrig, Taniel Varoujan, Gomidas, Kachn Antranig, Aghpur Serop… and the 1.5 million Armenians slain by the government of Turkey?
“Amot” to these vacationing pseudo-Armenians.

SEMINARIO DE HAMAZKAÍN DICTADO POR RITA C.KUYUMCIYAN:"LA NEGACIÓN DEL GENOCIDIO DE LOS ARMENIOS,SU ACTUALIDAD DESDE EL PSICOANÁLISIS".
Seminario de reflexión: La negación del genocidio de los armenios, su actualidad desde el psicoanálisis .Organizado por Hamazkain de Buenos Aires y dictado por la Magister Rita C. Kuyumciyan.
Introducción: La negación del Genocidio Armenio perpetrado por el estado de Turquía entre 1915-1923, como hecho histórico sostenido en el tiempo durante 95 años, ha significado ser un trauma psíquico con perturbación en el trabajo de duelo para sus descendientes. ¿Cómo incide la nueva realidad política-social en el funcionamiento psíquico de las mentes armenias? ¿Qué sucede con el trauma colectivo cuando se rompe el silencio sobre el Genocidio Armenio?
Objetivos: Dentro de una modalidad de intercambio, se desarrollarán puntos teóricos a fin de identificar cuáles son las nuevas consecuencias psíquicas de la negación del Genocidio Armenio. Se estudiarán las relaciones entre un duelo perturbado debido a la falta de reconocimiento por los mártires armenios y esta nueva realidad, en donde ahora sí, se puede nombrar a los muertos.
Temas.
1. Actualización del trauma del Genocidio Armenio. la lucha contra el negacionismo como reparación psíquica y como una fuerte necesidad de recuperación por la identidad armenia.
2. La importancia del reconocimiento del Genocidio Armenio como eslabón en la memoria histórica colectiva de un pueblo. Sus diferencias con la repetición, la regresión y la fijación desde el psicoanálisis.
3. La transmisión transgeneracional del trauma: la resignificación a posteriori del hecho, dentro de este nuevo camino trascendental que se dirige hacia el reconocimiento.
4. Resolución del trauma colectivo: Importancia de la justicia y del reconocimiento del Genocidio Armenio como una necesidad de procesamiento del trauma a nivel colectivo.
Dirigido: A estudiantes avanzados de psicología, medicina, sociología, antropología, profesionales e interesados en profundizar sobre las nuevas problemáticas psicológicas que se generan a partir de la importancia del reconocimiento internacional del Genocidio Armenio.
Reunión Introductoria: Lunes 27 de septiembre de 2010, de 20 a 21 horas.

Unveiling the 'First Holocaust'
Katerina Cosgrove, The Australian, 10 September 2010
Travel to Istanbul or any of the Aegean coast towns of Turkey and you may think this secular, hospitable place with its pebbled beaches and Hellenistic ruins has no secrets. Travel east and you come to traditional Turkey, a land of headscarves and workaday mosques, a far cry from the architectural wonders of the Suleiman Mosque and Aghia Sophia.
Here you will see desecrated frescoes in 10th-century churches, towns and villages whose names have been changed.
Beneath Turkey's veneer as an easy tourist destination lies a history that is darker, a reality more complex.
Scratch the surface and the mass graves, the bloodstained banknotes and the dearth of ethnic minorities beg questions the Turks still refuse to answer.
Here took place a forgotten genocide. Robert Fisk calls it "the first Holocaust" and claims "the parallel with Auschwitz is no idle one". Turkey's reign of terror against the Armenians was an attempt to destroy the entire race. The death toll was about two million between 1915 and 1917.
Those who didn't die during the deportations were taken to concentration camps and worked to death or killed. Others were herded into underground caves in their thousands and set on fire - the world's first gas chamber, which became a model for the Nazis.
Most of the survivors are now dead, their descendants scattered, even as far as Australia. Yet there are two million Turks today with an Armenian grandparent.
Fethiye Cetin grew up proudly Turkish; reciting nationalist poems at school festivals, comfortably ensconced in her culture.
All this was shattered the day she learned that Seher, her Muslim grandmother, was really Heranush, a Christian Armenian. During a death march, Heranush was wrenched from her mother's arms by a gendarme on horseback and brought up Turkish Muslim. She kept her past secret until she was close to death. Then she finally confided in her granddaughter.
Cetin is a human rights lawyer, writer and activist for the recognition of the genocide. In her intimate, tender memoir she tells the story of a woman who was no nameless victim, nor bearer of grudges. What occurred in Heranush's world at the dawn of the20th century was typical of the pattern throughout eastern Turkey, the former Armenia.
When the Young Turks triumvirate took over the government from the corrupt Ottomans they promised Christian minorities equality and the right to bear arms. So when Turkish gendarmes came to Heranush's village in 1915 with guns and bayonets, they brought also a sense of betrayal. Men and boys were rounded up, taken away to be shot, their throats cut and bodies thrown into rivers or ravines. The death marches began; the endless lines of elderly and infirm forced from their villages into the Syrian desert, to the killing centres of Shaddadie and Der ez Zor.
Of course there were humane Turks who hid Armenians in their homes, adopted children, saved them.Yet the stubborn fact remains that the majority of Turks still refute the genocide today. Officially there is a culture of denial in Turkey, leading to self-censorship, trials in criminal courts, prison, even murder. In January 2007, Armenian journalist and academic Hrant Dink was gunned down outside the offices of his Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos by an ultra-nationalist, a 17-year-old boy. Before his death, he had been convicted under infamous article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code, the crime of "anti-Turkishness".
Cetin represented him during his trial, and continues to work for his family. He wrote articles urging his own people to forget the "poisonous blood" between them and the Turks and reconcile their differences. The Turkish popular press twisted his meaning, attributing to him the words, "Turkish blood is dirty".
It has since been proven that security forces knew of plans for the murder, that his phone was tapped and his emails and correspondence intercepted. How far the government, police and judiciary are involved in reprisalsis cause for debate.
Yet after Dink's death, the boy who killed him was photographed posing with the two gendarmes, smiling under a Turkish flag.
This is the same law under which Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk was tried, after merely talking about the genocide in a Swiss magazine. He faced up to three years in prison.
"What happened to the Ottoman Armenians in 1915 was a major thing that was hidden from the Turkish nation; it was a taboo," he said. "But we have to be able to talk about the past."
In 2006, Turkish-American Elif Shafak wrote a novel, The Bastard of Istanbul, containing one Armenian character, descendant of those killed in the genocide. She was put on trial for the same crime of "denigrating Turkishness", but the charges were dropped. How could they not see the absurdity of pressing charges against a fictional character?
Armenia is now an eighth of its original size. Many of its western provinces were ceded to Turkey after World War I, from Lake Van to Erzerum to the Black Sea coast. Yerevan, the capital of the Republic of Armenia, is where the country's spiritual symbol, Mount Ararat, can be seen from every window, yet it is across the border on Turkish soil.
Cetin's memoir highlights our need to officially recognise this atrocity as genocide, to record the details of these lost and grant them their place in history. It reminds us of our duty to finally put names and stories to all those in unmarked graves, mothers and fathers and children whose bones will never be found.
Katerina Cosgrove is the author of The Glass Heart and a forthcoming novel based on the Armenian genocide. She will be in conversation with Fethiye Cetin at Sydney's Gleebooks. Cetin's memoir, My Grandmother is published by Spinifex Press
"In The Glass Heart, I seek to understand my own identity, as narrator, as heir to a long storytelling tradition, as Greek, as Australian, as a woman writing about women and their men. A narrator who is implicated in the story, always ambivalent, floating in between. Mapping, for myself, the history, the story, the inner landscapes. It is the uncharted land of my grandmother’s experience, a woman’s voice, a hybrid perspective. It is a land of ancient shards and half-buried bones in citrus groves.
I think I am struggling. This is a search for understanding, for meaning. And I try to record this struggle, forging a new way of writing, exploratory, discontinuous. Dissonant. Even conflicting. Yet as I write, the patterns emerge. Multiplying. The voices of the silenced, the illiterate will surprise us in a novel. Through crevices, under stones. I am tracing these irregular patterns through history. Like a child drawing for the first time, I am in a process of discovery. Creating new stories from the old voices, who were, until now, unknown."

Travel to Istanbul or any of the Aegean coast towns of Turkey and you may think this secular, hospitable place with its pebbled beaches and Hellenistic ruins has no secrets. Travel east and you come to traditional Turkey, a land of headscarves and workaday mosques, a far cry from the architectural wonders of the Suleiman Mosque and Aghia Sophia.
Here you will see desecrated frescoes in 10th-century churches, towns and villages whose names have been changed.

Azerbaijan retira una resolución presentada ante la Asamblea de la ONU
El jueves 9 de septiembre Azerbaijan retiró un proyecto de resolución sobre Nagorno Karabagh que había presentado en la agenda de la sesión 65º de la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas.
En una declaración conjunta, los representantes de los países copresidentes del Grupo de Minsk de la OSCE (Francia, EEUU y Rusia) celebraron la decisión de aplazar el tratamiento de la resolución y reiteraron que el Grupo de Minsk sigue siendo “el único marco para una solución pacífica del conflicto de Nagorno Karabagh”.
“Es claro que Azerbaijan es la única parte de este proceso de negociación que intencionalmente busca romper con la paz. En cambio, los países que presiden el Grupo Minsk al igual que Armenia y Nagorno Karabagh sostienen el compromiso hacia una salida pacifica del conflicto. La comunidad internacional debería pronunciarse rechazando la provocación de Azerbaijan que puede alterar aún más una zona tan volátil como lo es el Cáucaso” señaló Alfonso Tabakian, Director del Consejo Nacional Armenio de Buenos Aires. Y agregó que “esta presentación es una nueva artimaña utilizada por Azerbaijan para obstaculizar el camino para llegar a una verdadera paz duradera y la seguridad de la población de Nagorno Karabagh”.
El representante permanente azerí para las Naciones Unidas declaró que la razón de retirar el proyecto de resolución fue por una “misión de evaluación de campo” a la zona de conflicto proyectada por los representantes del Grupo Minsk.
El Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Armenia manifestó su agradecimiento a los países miembros de las Naciones Unidas y en particular a los países miembro del grupo Minsk que con su posición previnieron que Azerbaijan se desviara y dañara el proceso de negociación sobre la cuestión de Nagorno Karabagh.
En esa misma declaración el Canciller Armenio aseguró que la decisión de retirar el proyecto no se debió a la misión mencionada, la cual ya estaba programa, sino a fuertes presiones por parte del Grupo Minsk.
En 2008, Azerbaijan utilizó una estrategia similar en la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas que también contó con la oposición de los países que presiden el Grupo Minsk y fue apoyada por los aliados de Azerbaijan.
La República de Nagorno Karabagh es un Estado Independiente de 160.000 habitantes en su mayoría armenios.
Para el año 1920 cuando el ejército ruso ocupa Azerbaijan y Armenia, Nagorno Karabagh formaba parte de la República de Armenia.
Sin embargo el 5 de Julio de 1921 por decisión de Joseph Stalin, Karabagh se convirtió en una región autónoma en la Azerbaijan soviética con población mayoritaria armenia, separándose de Armenia.
Con el derrumbe de la URSS, el 10 de Diciembre de 1991, la población de Nagorno Karabagh mediante un referéndum se declaró autónoma de la administración de Azerbaijan y constituyó un Estado Independiente.
15 años después, el pueblo de Nagorno Karabagh a través de un nuevo referéndum aprobó la creación de su primera constitución afirmando su voluntad independiente.
