Հայոց ցեղասպանութեան ճանաչման խնդիրը եւ Թուրքիա-Իսրայէլ յարաբերութիւնները

The study surveys Turkish-Israeli state relations between late 2008 and mid-2013. The author refers to the Israeli attack on the Gaza Strip in December 2008, the reaction of the Turkish state, the escalation of tension between Turkey and Israel and the deterioration of relations, which had negative impacts on the military and economic cooperation of these two countries.
While highlighting certain episodes of Turkish-Israeli state relations following the Gaza attack, the author details the action and reaction of state officials of these two countries. The statements and declarations of state officials led to a rupture in certain aspects of Turkish-Israeli interstate cooperation. The author details the intervention of diverse actors who supported the Turkish stance, while other actors, like US and Jewish American organizations, called for restraint.
The author analyses how the issue of Israel recognizing the Armenian Genocide was brought to Turkish state attention. The author notes as well that Jewish-American lobbies hinted that they would stop supporting Turkish state efforts to foil the recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the US Congress. The author notes that these two factors played an essential role in causing the further deterioration of Turkish-Israeli relations and concludes that the issue of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide has become a factor used by both the US and Israel as leverage in their foreign relations.

According to historical records at least 30,000 Armenians from the Armenian Catholic community, 102 clergymen of the Armenian Catholic Church, several bishops and 45 monks became victims of the Genocide, and numerous members of the community were violently converted to Islam. In spite of this reality Turkish scientific and semi-scientific circles make the baseless claim that the Armenian Catholics did not suffer as they were under the aegis of the European powers. In the article a number of facts from Turkish sources are presented. They demonstrate that the Young Turks were free in their actions, and the Turkish “scientific” findings that the Armenian Catholics were under the aegis of European countries are only a policy to distort the facts of the Armenian genocide.

Derenik Demirchyan’s essay "The Armenian" is presented in the following article. Though mainly concentrating on Demirchyan’s estimation of the character of the Armenian, more noteworthy estimations made by other Armenian writers and politicians about our national character during different periods are also reflected upon in the article.
The Armenian with his past and present is in Demirchyan’s sight. During all the hardships in our history over the millennia, the image of the Armenian character has not varied. The field of our survey includes assessments of the national and human character of the Armenian by authors from all periods. They are as follows: the father of Armenian history, Movses Khorenatsi (V century), Derenik Demirchyan, Nshan Peshiktashlyan, William Saroyan (20ᵗʰ century), Aghasi Ayvazyan, Vazgen Sargsyan, and Levon Khechoyan, as well as writers who are alive, such as Varoujan Voskanayn and Vano Siradeghyan. Some works in the frame of our survey can be rightly called oratorical, not literary-fiction. It is the activity and personality of these authors that lets us speak about them not as writers but as politicians engaged in the vital problems of our nation. Such authors are Garegin Nzhdeh, Vazgen Sargsyan, Vano Siradeghyan.

In the aftermath of the Genocide a survivor, losing hope of finding his wife, marries a widow. The first wife, however, reappears. As polygamy is forbidden by the Armenian Apostolic Church, a priest calls the three and asks the husband to choose between his two legitimate wives. The husband chooses his good-looking new wife. The priest, concerned with the fate of the poor, miserable old wife, comments on the decision: "I would have married your good-looking wife. The problem is what happens to your old wife." Eventually he suggests that the husband select the old wife.
The author highlights a number of such comic anecdotes and humorous situations that happened during the Armenian Genocide, were caused by it, happened in its aftermath or are related to the Genocide.
The author categorises these anecdotes according to the circumstances and notes that these go far beyond reflecting the genocide per se. Rather, they are meant to reinvigorate Armenian spirit and pride.
