Until now, the very existence of the children has remained largely an untold story, buried along with those who...

The cornerstone of Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral boldly proclaims, in the words of the Prophet Isaiah, "My House Shall Be a House of Prayer for All Peoples."

The Jihad Genocide of the Armenians April 22nd, 2005 I attended a banquet in New York City April 2, 2005, celebrating Professor Vahakn Dadrian’s distinguished career, most notably, his singular contributions to the study of the Armenian genocide. Dadrian’s scholarship is characterized by a unique combination of painstaking, tireless research in the face of unseemly and well financed resistance, brilliant innovation (for example, his use of Austrian and German diplomatic sources free of either Armenian or Turkish biases), and, most remarkable of all in this era, an intellectual honesty oblivious to political correctness. Regarding this latter point, specifically, Dadrian has...

RA foreign minister said in his speech at the 28th session of the UN General Assembly that Hitler bound the Jews with the Armenians forever. The 28th session was dedicated to 60th anniversary of liberating the prisoners of Auswenzin concentration camp. "Who remembers the annihilation of Armenians," Hitler said few days before entering Poland. The cynical statement made by Hitler about the Armenians is properly represented at the Holocaust Museum in Washington," Oskanian said. "After Auswenzin we all are Jews, gypsies, we all are banished and hated by someone, somewhere. After Auswenzin a human being’s consciousness can’t remain the same."...

Dear Dr. Lewis, This e-mail is in response to your above-referenced article published today, Dec. 19th on ChronWatch.http://www.chronwatch.com/content/contentDisplay.asp?aid=11860. Very little of what follows will be news to you but please indulge me. These past 60 odd years the West has been on the defensive trying (ineffectually) to keep Islam at bay and Islam has been on the offensive their declared aim being to convert by armed force the infidels except the Jews whose eradication from this planet has been (with Europe's quiet acquiescence) pronounced, save young Jewish maidens destined to be parceled out to the harems of the faithful. It...

Mr Barnier said France did not consider Turkish acknowledgement a condition of EU entry, but insisted his country would raise the...

Memorial Is Vandalized By AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE BAKU, Azerbaijan, Sept. 23 — A memorial to British servicemen who died defending Azerbaijan's oil fields in World War I has been vandalized, a week after it was erected, the British Embassy here reported today. The vandalism followed threats from groups that say the British forces should not be honored because Britain backed ethnic Armenian partisans against the Turks. A war in the 1990's between Armenia and Azerbaijan reawakened old animosities. The monument is a series of stone slabs engraved with the names of the 47 British servicemen who died.
