Akhtamar Show
Russian journalist Yana Amelina ([info]malekon) writes that according to Culture and Tourism Ministry Van Provincial Director İzzet Kütükoğlu the renovation of Sourb Khach church on Akhtamar island was actually completed by August 30th, 2006, however the opening ceremony was postponed until April 2007 due to «bad weather conditions».

I am sure this fact (somehow annoticed by Armenians) will stop all the discussions about whether the Akhtamar Show was an attempt by Turks to reconciliate with Armenians or was staged to counter genocide-related pro-Armenian publicity which is traditionally on rise every April.

Another funny story from blogian:

The ‘apology’ quoting America’s Ambassador to Armenia John Evans for saying he shouldn’t have referred to the Armenian genocide as such, turns out, was a fabrication by the State Department.


Niagara of lies that falls on us on daily basis frustrates me, however what makes me really sick, is the fact that no matter how blatant and unbelievable the lie is, there are always fellow Armenians who take it as truth.

On the state level, all the fairy tales about Turkish 'reconciliation' with Armenians make me sick.

Well, the main thing for Armenia is to get rid of illusions and develop political strategy that will not make it too much dependent on any other state. How to do it is another matter, but nothing is impossible. In case of Turkey, unless it officially recognizes the Genocide, there is no way of reconciliation. Even if we wanted to, it would be impossible, due to the politics of aggression this country holds towards Armenia and the history in general.
