Hi! We have at last got a copy of the DVD from the Genocide Conference in Stockholm, Sweden on November 15, 2005. We have edited and put online a 60 minute long lecture by Prof. Vahakn N. Dadrian on the subject of the Armenian Genocide: http://www.armenica.org/multimedia Since earlier we have also an interview with Prof. Taner Akcam (about 20 min. long).

Well, lets be optimists! If there are people such as Orhan Pamuk, Taner Akcam, Yelda Ozcan, and many others like them who dare to speak about the genocide even if it means that their books are burned or they face trials or have to leave the country, then the Turkish society has started to wake up from the 90 year long sleep and started to understand what really happened. It will take time, but they will see the truth.

This is a very interesting documentry about Orhan Pamuk, his statement about the Armenian Genocide and Turkish nationalism: http://www.abc.net.au/foreign/content/2006..._pamuk_200k.asx

Thank you! Well, you could speard the news to all you know, in person as well as to your mail contacts and encourage them to forward it to their contacts. You could also display one of the banners found on the campaign page. Thanks for your assistance, Vahagn Avedian

The content of the campaign is stated below and further information can be viewed at http://www.armenica.org/light-the-night On the eve of April 24th, we encourage all to "Light the Night" by lighting a candle through the night of the 23rd and into the morning of the 24th, in remembrance of the 1.5 million souls that fell victim to the annihilation machine of the Ottoman Empire. Each lit candle placed on the window sill will represent a soul lost throughout the years of 1915 and 1923. Together, let's "Light the Night"; let's vow to remember, to never forget, and to pursue justice and peace for all humanity. The "Light the Night" campaign started last year in connection to the 90th remembrance day of the Armenian Genocide and we wish to continue this campaign hoping that it will be a permanent tradition. Last year the campaign received wide TV and radio coverage in Armenia and this year Printinfo has volunteered to contribute to the campaign by printing flyers free of charge for distribution within Armenia. We hope that you aslo could join us in this tradition. For campaign flyer, banner, and other information, please visit http://www.armenica.org/light-the-night and help us spreading this information to as many as possible.
