Saturday 3^rd of November was the cornerstone of recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the UK initiated by the people and the Assembly of Wales.

(Throughout history the Welsh people have been the standard bearers of truth and human rights, so aptly represented by the Temple of Peace where this historic event took place).

The undersigned, attending on 13 October 2007 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the McGill Global Conference on the Prevention of Genocide, affirm by their signatures below their support for the passage by the U.S. Congress of House Resolution 106, Affirmation of the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was awarded the Freedom Prize by the Armenian National Committee of America on Sunday, September 30th, for his courageous stance regarding the promotion of human rights and his government's official recognition of the Armenian Genocide's historical reality in the face of political blackmail. Jason Kenney, Secretary of State, multiculturalism, accepted the prize on behalf of the PM. M. Kenney read a statement by the Prime Minister on the occasion.

Armenians celebrated their Independence Day all over the world ten days ago, on September 21, 2007. Sixteen years after the birth of modern Armenia, both the motherland and various Diaspora communities united to rejoice at Armenia's freedom from Soviet rule. Several state figures marked the occasion with congratulatory messages as well.

The U.S.-based Jewish Anti-Defamation League's (ADL) New England regional director Andrew Tarsy was re-instated yesterday after being fired on August 17 for recognizing the 1915 state-sponsored massacres of 1.5 million Armenians by the Young Turk regime as genocide.

He has seen the deportations and massacres of the 1915 Armenian Genocide, snatched a cigar from the lips of a glowering Sir Winston Churchill, and now his spirit returns home to the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa.

Yousuf Karsh, one of the 20^th century's most famous photographers, had made a room in Ottawa's landmark hotel his studio until he retired in 1992. He and his wife Estrellita also frequently stayed there.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper once again confirmed that his government's recognition of the Armenian Genocide is the policy of the Canadian Government.

In recent weeks, denial of the Armenian Genocide was punished both at the United States’ Los Angeles Times and Switzerland.

In Los Angeles, L.A. Times managing editor Douglas Frantz was ousted from his position after a controversial decision to suspend Armenian reporter Mark Arax’s story about a pending resolution in the U.S. Congress to recognize the genocide. Frantz had said that he thought Arax’s ethnic origin and emotional attachment to the subject matter had made his reporting “biased.” Backed by California’s Armenian community, Arax had raised a ruckus, pointing out that Africans were not forbidden from writing about Africa, or Jews were not denied writing about the Holocaust. Furthermore, Frantz’ ties to a Turkish genocide denial convention were revealed.

One of the Armenian National Committee of Canada's (ANCC) recent press releases made waves in the national media last week. It had centred on Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's reinforcement of the government's earlier recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

The Toronto Star, the Ottawa Citizen, CTV's website and the Globe and Mail all published articles regarding M. Stephen Harper's declarations during a closed-doors meeting session with the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada  (NEPMCC) on June 15.

It is sadly nothing more than propaganda from Turkish sources that attempt to deny the Armenian Genocide using any means possible.

The Armenian National Committee of Canada urges you to take action by telling ebay this kind of hate-mongering has no place on its website.

Turkish authorities moved quickly when Armenian-Turkish journalist Hrant Dink was murdered last week. Within a couple of days, police arrested a teenager who has reportedly confessed, and now investigators are trying to learn if "ultra-nationalist" groups were involved.

The prominent journalist and voice of Turkey's dwindling Armenian minority, Hrant Dink, was shot dead on Jan. 19 as he left his office in Istanbul. Dink was editor of Agos, the sole Armenian newspaper in Turkey. He had been prosecuted because of his call for recognition of Ottoman Turkey's 1915 massacre of 1.5 million of its ethnic Armenian citizens -- a crime against humanity that the Canadian House of Commons formally acknowledged in April, 2004. His murder starkly demonstrates how Turkish denial of this abomination, the first genocide of the 20th century, amounts to continuing violence against multi-ethnic democracy and pluralism. It is a painful reminder that without redemption for past injustices, the ghosts of history will cast a long shadow on Turkey's future.

January 12, 2007-Argentina's President promulgated the Senate and Parliament's Armenian Genocide resolution into Law on Thursday.
