Israel is among the holocaust deniers :  Editorial in HAARETZ By Yossi Sarid


TEN YEARS SHY OF A CENTURY!
The Armenian Genocide 1915
BY DR HARRY HAGOPIAN
 
" It is my contention today that no genocide can be unique since all genocides are reprehensible. This is why I believe it is in the Turkish national interest to come clean and recognise this genocide . . ."
" I believe Turkey cannot find inner peace so long as it denies the genocide. Nor can Armenians for that matter, which is why the souls of Armenian victims still cry out for justice today. . ."

- Western Armenian Classes for Adults (Krikor Moskofian, teacher)

The armenian institute begin these popular classes again on September 26, 2005 on the lower floor of the Gulbenkian Hall, Iverna Gardens. The emphasis is on conversation but reading and writing are also taught. Beginning and intermediate levels are available.
Fee: £115 for 10 weeks of two hour sessions (Monday nights)

==============================================================================================

   ARMENIAN CHURCH CHILDRENS CLUB
- THIRD SATURDAY OF EACH MONTH
     Parents:  Please click this link for IMPORTANT MESSAGE
   
The club is for children aged between 5 years and 12 years and it will be held on the first Saturday of each month. Its is to include ALL children of Armenian descent, whether they speak Armenian or not.  In fact, the club will be held in English so that everyone can understand and participate in it and no one will feel excluded. The emphasis will be on learning about Armenian Church discipline and tradition, as well as participating in prayers and liturgical music with much fun and in an interactive way. Once children have learned some of the songs, a special church service will be conducted for them with their active participation. Children will learn how to behave, how to act and how to take part in the church.

The idea for this club has come from members of the community whose children are not currently involved in any of the extensive activities already established in Acton but who would like them to gain an understanding of their heritage and roots. As the club develops, different activities will be included such as traditional dances, bible study for children, children¹s choir, contemporary music and a basic history of Armenia.  So come along and give it a try.  Everyone is welcome!  It is not a huge commitment; one hour, once a month
