e-Diaspora

E-this, e-that, we can realize that the Internet is the new way for future generations to be connected with the world. The "on-line" concept is a new way to be in touch with lots of things and situations. Just look at this log, we are giving our opinions and telling our news from different points of this planet about one big topic: Armenians or/and Armenians...
I remember my fatherīs relatives use to send letters to their relatives of Aleppo. From Buenos Aires to Aleppo (Haleb) days and days waiting for the letter of the relative. Months waiting for good news...And now, we have the e-mail and the messengers, all our diaspora re-borns again.
Buenos Aires is Ten Thousands Kilometers far from Yerevan. So imagine how close we feel trough internet. It is very touching to investigate about your genealogical (?) tree and the discovery of relatives scattered in the world with this new tool.
It could be dangerous, too. The manipulation of Information and Media is very common in this World Wide Web. For example, i just cant understand how the Turkish negationism fights against the Armenian Genocide preparing Web Sites about how WE KILLED TURKS (!?!??!!?). Enter into the Web Site of the Turkish Culture Ministery and find that the armenians were never part of the History of the Anatolia and the Armenian Meseta. Contradictions as offering the SURP KARABET Monastery of Moush (Mus in Turkish) as turkish culture, as well with Akhtamar in Van.
See what happens in Iraq, we see what the CNN told us or we investigate and discover how petrolled is this war. I think that if all presidents should drink a glass of Petrol, I bet they would feel Superb. Ahhh, and just a question...Supposing that the USA and the UK conquer Iraq, Would Turkey continue being an important alley for the US then??? I think that Turkey has a Dilemma, they want to be Part of the US and the Europe Union at the same time. But well, they have to free Mister Ocalan and say sorry to us, too.
I think we are a big E-Diaspora but we are not taking the advantage we could about it. But until we organize us properly, we will be preparing us for several cyber battles for the recognition of our rights as Cyber-citizens of Armenian Origin, showing our rich culture and true history to the Cyber E-World.
