It seems Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not see the irony in his statement Tuesday, when he threatened to deport Armenians from Turkey if Congress passes the Armenian Genocide resolution.
For years, the Turkish government has used its “tolerance” toward undocumented Armenian immigrants, allegedly numbering 100,000, as a way to promote Turkey’s “good will” [...]

ANKARA, Turkey (A.W.)—I am in Turkey again.
Let me rephrase that: I am in the Turkey of March 2010. Because, much like Heraclitus’s river, you can’t enter the same Turkey twice.
This is a country that is in constant change—change for the better and change for the worse, depending on when your toes touched the water.
And this [...]

Recent articles in the mainstream media would have us believe that governments around the world somehow question the factuality of the 1915 Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek Genocides committed by Turkey. These articles would also have us believe that the Turkish government’s latest temper tantrums over these genocides are justified. Turkey, of course, just recalled its [...]

The Turkish version of the article below by Ergun Babahan appeared in STAR Gazete on March 14.
Following the approval of the House Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. Congress, the Swedish Parliament also adopted a resolution that recognizes the Armenian Genocide.
These are real decisions, not feigned acts.
The Turkish government was furious. And immediately recalled its ambassadors [...]

Dear Editor,
I think there’s a tidal wave coming that’s going to engulf the Armenian community in the United States. But don’t worry, it’s not going to drown us, it’s going to lift all our boats. Danny Tarkanian (R) was in Watertown on Sunday evening, Dec. 13, for a fundraiser to support his campaign for the [...]

Last week, the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee voted 23-22 to pass H.Res.252, the Armenian Genocide Resolution. Several of those on the Committee who opposed the resolution couldn’t understand why they should bother debating something that happened nearly a hundred years ago, as if Armenian history was not important enough to be recorded with dignity.
Those [...]

In October 2009, I launched Boiling Frogs Post with one purpose in mind: to establish a venue for investigative articles, analyses, and interviews on issues largely blacked out by the media. After four months of a successful trial phase this venue is now ready to enter its next stage, and for that it needs your [...]

I’ve had the privilege of celebrating International Women’s Day in Armenia on five occasions. It might well be one of my favorite holidays, second only to International Children’s Day on June 1 (also my birthday, for those of you who wish to note it in your calendars). The only hard part about celebrating women in [...]

An Armenian daughter, wittingly or not, learns that as she grows older, she must keep her identity as a modest Armenian woman. There are many occasions that remind her that she is an Armenian daughter. And this, overtime, becomes part of her character.
I was 11 years old when my family emigrated from Armenia to Lebanon, [...]

Many years ago, I was asked to speak by our local Armenian Relief Society (ARS) chapter on the occasion of Mother’s Day. I was a young mother myself at the time, raising two young children, and working excruciatingly long hours. Had it not been for my mother, I’m not sure how I would have survived [...]
