Long Time...No Post!

Okay…I know I’ve been pretty silent for the past while…Sorry. A lot has been going on Toronto, but things have just been a little too hectic, so I haven’t had much time to post anything up. As I had mentioned before, I went to New York for the “Armenians and the Left” conference organized by the ARF, however, I got really ill in NY so I ended up staying in my hotel room the entire weekend, and missed the entire conference (except for Robert Fisk’s lecture on Friday night…which was awesome!)…So after getting back from New York, most of the time, we were working on the various Genocide events which were happening around here. OF course, as you all know, Canada’s newly elected Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, formally recognized the Armenian Genocide…(This was the first time a Canadian Prime Minister had used to word Genocide…) As for the events: On April 21st, the annual Candlelight Vigil took place, which is organized by all the different Armenian youth organizations in Toronto. On April 23rd, the annual Genocide commemoration took place at the Armenian Community Center of Toronto, where many Members of Parliament and other political figures showed up to pay their respects. And of course, on the 24th, busses from Toronto, Montreal, Laval, and Cambridge, headed to Canada’s capital, Ottawa, for the yearly demonstration (about 800-1000 people were present). All the events went very, very well (Park Asdoudzoh)…Well, April is over, but now we have to worry about other upcoming events, such as the A.R.F. Y.O.C. Annual Barahantess, which is taking place on May 27, 2006 (May 28-ee aritov)…



As of Tuesday, there will be exactly a month left until school is finally over…wow…The four years of high school really flew by….Anyways, I can’t wait until school is done! Guh desnveenk!
