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.

Hrant Dink: Who will treat us? |
|
 We, as Armenians and Turks, are two unsound societies when
it comes to our relationship. Armenians have been going through a big trauma
against Turks while Turks have been having paranoia against Armenians. We are
two clinical events.Who will treat us? French Parliament or
American Senate? Who will write the prescription? Who is our doctor?Armenians are the physician of Turks and Turks are the
physician of Armenians.
