RAG MAMOUL an ADLP PUBLICATION Official Organ of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party Article of the Day Why Turks Were Able to Exterminate Armenians, but not Jews (Part II) By HARUT SASSOUNIAN Thursday, 29 May 2014 Volume # 9, Issue # 99 Page 1 RAG MAMOUL receives material from around the world and in many languages. Our Liberal principles advocate ‘Freedom of speech’ as a mainstay of our beliefs; consequently the subjects and ideas presented will not necessarily reflect our point of view. All published material is reviewed, however, we rely on the kind understanding of our audience when grammatical and spelling mistakes are missed. And in some rare cases, correction of submitted material is purposely not addressed, if it changes the implied context of the author. This is the second and final part of a column I wrote last month, analyzing why the Young Turks were able to exterminate the Armenians, but could not carry out their simultaneous plan to eliminate the Jewish settlers of Palestine. On May 9, 1917, Reuters disseminated the following news report by settler Aaron Aaronsohn: ―an order was given to deport all Jews from Tel Aviv, including citizens of the Central Powers [Germany and Austria-Hungary], within 48 hours. A week before, 300 Jews were expelled from Jerusalem. Jamal Pasha declared that their fate would be that of the Armenians. The 8,000 deportees from Tel Aviv were not allowed to take any provisions with them, and after the expulsion their houses were looted by Bedouin mobs.‖ Shortly thereafter, Oskar Cohen, a Jewish socialist member of the German Parliament, asked the chancellor to press the Turkish government ―to vigorously prevent the recurrence in Palestine of atrocities‖ against Jews similar to the ones committed against the Armenians. On June 8, Aaronsohn wrote in his diary: ―The cry we raised was effective. The Turks and the Germans were quick to realize that one cannot get away with slaughtering the Jews like the Armenians. German financing of the war might have suffered because of the Jews. Therefore they ceased the new deportations.‖ www.facebook.com/RAGmamoul ADLP News The passing of Nubar Karadjian (See on page 3) News from Armenia Sarkisian Urges Turkey‘s President To Mark Genocide Centennial In Armenia (See on page 4) Diaspora News Beirut, Lebanon Conference On ―Armenians Of Lebanon (II)‖ At Haigazian University (See on page 6 ) New York, USA Ani City Will Be Back ―Online‖ (See on page 8) France French Media: Pope Francis May Visit Armenia In 2015 (See on page 8)

RAG MAMOUL an ADLP PUBLICATION
Official Organ of the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Nubar Vahram Karadjian on this, the 28th day of May 2014. Nubar, originally emigrated from Cairo, Egypt, and was a proud Canadian over the past 55 years. He is survived by his wife Takouhi – his son and daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Nubar passed painlessly, and we are sure that he is now entertaining his old friends with his many anecdotes and jokes in a much better place. For those who are interested in attending Funeral arrangements are as follows: York Cemetery 160 Beecroft Road North York, Ontario, Canada M2N 5Z5 Tel: 416 221-3404 11:00 am Tuesday Morning – Internment of ashes June 3rd, 2014 (meeting at 10:45 am at the York Visitation Centre)
Worldwide members of ADLP as well as RAG MAMOUL express deepest condolences to
the late Nubar Karadjian’s son Eugene Karadjian the Secretary and the Treasurer
of ADLP Central Committee and joins the Karadjian Family in their grief
FRENCH MEDIA: POPE FRANCIS MAY VISIT ARMENIA IN 2015
A French media outlet reported about possible visit of Pope Francis to
Armenia next year, Nouvelles d'Arménie said quoting an article by
La Croix newspaper.
―At 90 percent, God willing, the visit of the Pope to the Mother See
[Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin] will take place on the occasion of
the canonization of our martyrs in 2015,‖ Archimandrite Shahe
Ananyan said several days after a meeting of Catholicos Karekin II
with Pope Fracis at the Vatican.
He expressed confidence that Pope's visit may take place next year.
This will be a symbolic move indicating the Vatican will recognize
Armenian Genocide just as it was done by Pope John Paul II back in
2001.
