A fascinating piece of research. Thank you, Mr. Babkenian.
What a wonderful piece of Americana/Armeniaca. Thanks, Vicken!
Here’s a thought:
Why is there no sizeable group of public figures, actors, and actresses, including Kim Kardashian (suitably informed) and Serj Tankian, who are as organized as other celebrity groups that take up causes such as the Sudan genocide, who take up Armenian issues? Hollywood and NY are filled with Armenians in show biz.
Wow what a great article , God bless you Vicken you are full of surprises, when it comes to the Armenian history, you make us so proud, and we are proud to say that you are our relative, you are unique from inside and out , keep up the great work you do and believe us that you are so much appreciated among fellow Armenians, and you are making all Armenians household known about you ! love you Vicken

OK We get it! You used to be in need and some famous people helped you, but what is holding you now, to go back to your land and built it the way you want so that you can help some of the less fortunate in return?

SO, WHAT IS YOUR POINT?
Dear Svetlana
I don’t understand the purpose of your comment. There is nothing stopping us from going back and helping the less fortunate in Armenia. There are many Armenian/non-Armenian organisations and individuals who are helping the less fortunate in Armenia today. We can always do more. What’s your point got to do with Vicken’s article?
Thanks for an interesting article. For more on Jackie Coogan see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Coogan
