Reception of International Conference On Turkish-Armenian Dialog |
 Armenian and Turkish relationship has been a controversial issue not
for two nations but also for international, especially, European
affairs. Central theme of the discussion has been the disagreement in
the perceptions of the history, particularly on the events that
occurred during the declining years of the Ottoman Empire. Therefore,
Raindrop Turkevi organized a conference on this issue. Tornado started
same time with reception so starting time postponed half an hour.
Pictures are from the reception of the conference at Double Tree Hotel,
Dallas. (April, 13, 2007, Dallas)

Condolence for the victims of Virginia Polytechnic Institute |
 We are saddened by yesterday's tragic incidents at Virginia Polytechnic Institute that have left 33 people dead and many wounded. It is heartbreaking to have seen what happened to those innocent students whose only reason to be in that classroom was to learn. Our hearts go to the families of the victims and we hope that they find the strength and the patience to go through this very difficult time.

 KSP-South is a group of enthusiastic people that organizes biannual gatherings called Slyots (literally translated as “fly-ins”) and helps unite all Russian-speaking people who enjoy the Russian style of camping.
KSP in translation stands for the Club of Amateur Song. These songs are usually written by average people about their ordinary lives, yet the simple human experience of each song is translated into a powerful message of wisdom and truth, about the value of friendship, family, and love.
