    • Why don’t you point out that the prevailing majority of the Young Turk leaders were crypto-Jews? Is there a reason to hide that fact?

    • Is there a reason why these people’s ethnic background is not mentioned:

      •Talaat Pasha- Donmeh Jew- Chief architect of the Armenian Genocide

      •Djavid Bey- Donmeh Jew- Talaat’s finance minister

      •emmanuel carasso- Sephardic Jew- propagandist and prominent member of the Young Turks.

      The JEWISH president Simon Peres, of the JEWISH state of Israel openly and publicly denied the Armenian Genocide. Imagine if any other world leader would deny the holocuast, it would be followed by “antisemite” or “he’s the next hitter” but it’s okay for a Jew to deny other people’s genocides. Don’t even get me started on jews in the Soviet Union, Genrikh Yagoda, Leon Trotsky, overseeing the deaths of millions.

  1. Justice must prevail. It is great honor to the Armenian people in all around the world. Thank you France and French people of Marseille and fantastic work for those Armenians who worked I am sure very hard to turn this Idea into Reality. Good work. Most Armenians and myself are thankful. However, I would like to add with disappointment, when I look back to the last 100 years of Diasporan History, we, as a nation Never Were Able to grasp the MOMENT “Momende” to get organized and become an international force. A DIASPORAN FORCE. This shows that we never had a Leader of SUBSTANCE in Diaspora who could have the Vision to lead and Organize the communities around the world. We, unfortunately, have the misconception about our selves that we cannot be United. What a terrible notion. And I hear this from everywhere. Menk chenk gernar mianal. What an absurd thing to say. But WE CAN. Of course, we had leaders, few, yes, we had them, but they were silenced. Just to mention few such as Shahan Natali in the past, God bless his soul. Sarkis Zeitlian, what happened to him. There are his followers. His students, people who believed in him. There are all SILENCED. Why isn’t there a follow up. How come we gave in so quickly? No one talks about him anymore. How come? I hear only mur-murs. We in the Diaspora, are not in a good shape. Very unhealthy. Politically, Organizationally and Financially we are in a big mess. We are however, and we have very successful individuals and only few of them are contributing to our programs. We need to think about these very important issues and not only think but start TALKING ABOUT THEM and taking action. I learned that the School that ARF had in Lebanon to prepare future leaders have been closed. I ask WHY? Why? They say it is lack of Finances. Disgusting. Finances can be always available when the INTENTIONS and Visions of our leaders are Good and Clear. I work and get paid to listen to people’s problems every day. The Art of Listening. I believe we must choose people as leaders so they can prepare future LEADERS and not just leaders of internal politics but also Every leader MUST ATTEND and learn “The Art of Listening”. We do not have leaders who have Mastered The Art of Listening. My honesty and sincerity have no boundaries and I MUST SPEAK the TRUTH. We all have to. Otherwise, we are Dying as an Organization and as people of Diaspora. We must work hard to Re-Invent and re-organize the Diaspora and become a force to be reckon with and respected. When can achieve this by having a very strong Diaspora, Armenia and the Armenian Governments and our Enemies will take us very seriously. Otherwise, again, as we had chances before to grasp the “Moment” of the time which we missed, but hopefully we will be able to create another “MOMEND”. WE CAN DO IT.

  2. Naming a square Soghomon Tehlirian in Marseille is not only to honor the Hero but equally it is in respect of the German Justice!! They say “history repeats itself” I would say history also contradicts itself…look what the German Hitler did later on…but the German people was honest and decent enough to admit and compensate….while these two words don’t exist in the Turkish political dictionary!!!

  3. Proud to live under such a moving
    Last name…my thanks to the French people…Marseille was an important city that protected my greatuncle during difficult times agter THE trial !!

  4. I wonder how many people are visiting his resting place in Fresno. Instead of walking and yelling in LA , we need to go there every 24th April and show our respect to this great man. I wonder if our young generation knows about him and went there. We have a sacred place here and almost forgot about it. Let’s go there every year and put our flowers and pray for his soul.

  5. it is you and my responsibility to go over with them the stated facts. We should keep talking with them and hopefully some of then would follow your idea. For example, I live more than 40 years at USA and know almost everything about genocide, however, I did not know that Mr. Soghomon Tehlirian’s resting place is in Fresno. I thank you for your information. I should point out that there is Mr. Soghomon Tehlirian’s statue in Yerevan, Armenia.
