Armenian animator develops iPhone App for Genocide recognition(video)
Armenian animator develops iPhone App for Genocide recognition(video)
February 05, 2011 01:01
Alex Nisanian, young Armenian-American animator, is developing iPhone App dedicated to recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Asbarez reported.
The animator has created graphics necessary for the “Armenian Monument” app and presently is raising funds for its free distribution. His project recently won the support of Kickstarter.com, the largest online funding platform for creative projects, which has published a dedicated fundraising page for the app, the newspaper writes.
The default page of the app will feature the eternal flame at the Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan with a contemporary beat produced by DJ Bei-Ru using duduk samples. There will be sections dedicated to history of 1915-1923 Armenian Genocide, list of countries that have recognized the crime and news covering Genocide affirmation efforts worldwide.
“I always thought that if an iPhone app on the Genocide was to be available, it should be a free community service that Armenians can be proud of. Instead of waiting for one, I decided to start it myself,” Asbarez quotes Nisanian as saying.
The fund raising ends on February 27 and the creator hopes to launch it by April 24.

TURKISH GROUP SHOWS HATRED TOWARD ARMENIANS
Turkish hackers helped world learn more about Armenian Genocide
February 02, 2011 15:36
Hackers calling themselves “1923 Turkish group” cracked over 6,000 foreign websites, network security expert Samvel Martirosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am-Innovation, commenting on Turkish press reports saying 6713 websites mentioning the Armenian Genocide were hacked.
He considers hackers’ actions in fact contributed to spreading true facts about the Armenian Genocide. The Turkish cyber criminals cracked website which, according to them, contained information about the Genocide.
“It may sound odd but we should thank them for spreading truth about the Genocide,” Martirosyan said. He noted his research showed that websites not referring to the Armenian Genocide were cracked. “They just hacked different foreign sources leaving an inscription. No information about the Armenian Genocide was available on any of 200 cracked websites that I visited,” he stressed.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, Turkish hackers calling themselves “1923 Turkish group” cracked 6713 websites and left inscriptions in Turkish and English saying “Do not believe Armenia’s lies, the biggest genocide was committed by you, America”.

Armenian Church of Malatia will be served as a library
1 Armenian Church Tashhoron located in Cavusoglu district, Malatia, the birthplace of Hrant Dink, will be reconstructed in spring, the governor of Malatia state Ulvi Saran said in a meeting with the reporters, “Ermenihaber.am” news website writes.
The Governor said that as soon as the church is reconstructed it may be used as a library.
“Because of the lack of Armenian community it can’t be used as a service place. But permission will be given to hold a service once a year. The church is a temple for us, like the mosque,” Malatia’s Governor said.
280-year-old church has been completely ignored and destroyed.
