| 9th April 2009 Vladimir | - From: And quiet flows the Don Dear Turan! No pardon to any massacre of any nation. But it is a little hope, that one day world will be a more fair place. A very, very little hope. Thank you for your interesting report and my best wishes to you and to your beautiful land! |
| 8th April 2009 Gorkem Turan | - From: And quiet flows the Don thanks for your comment Vladamir. I also learnt later there is an Armenian diaspora living around Rostov. Unfortunately history is a fairy tale which is told according to what people would like to hear. What upsets me is in this tale there is not a single word for the Turks massacreed in the same era. Like there will be no words for the people massacreed in Iraq,Palestine or Afghanistan in tales that will be told in the future. Hope one day world will be a more fair place. |
| 7th April 2009 Vladimir Kobelev | Armenian claims of Genocide of 1915 in Azow State Museum - From: And quiet flows the Don You write: "Then I came to a saloon which in my surprise dedicated to the Armenian claims of Genocide of 1915. What is the relation of a local museum with these events? Why did they not have a saloon for the Muslim and Turkish population who were massacred by Armenian militia in that time? And if this museum is so sensitive to these issues, Why don’t they have other saloons for other massacres which happened in the world are still questions I don’t have the answers. " The answer is: city of Rostow was formed by the merging of Fortress Rostow and Armenian city of Nachichewan. There are many small armenian towns and villages in Rostow region. The Armenian diaspora went from Turkey mainly in XVIII and XIX Century and a considerable part also after the genocide in 1915. So the memory about this event is still in mind of the Armenian population of Rostow region. |
