George Clooney: Armenians Genocide it an undeniable fact
American actor, screenwriter, producer, director, and activist George Clooney stated the Armenian Genocide to be an undeniable fact in an interview with The Frame, Public Radio of Armenia reports.
“Now history has changed and the Turks don’t want to talk about it anymore. And because we have military bases in Turkey, suddenly those same politicians who before could say, ‘Yes, there was genocide’ can’t talk about it now. You can’t call it that,” the actor said and added, “I’ve had conversations with senators where I’ll say, “Can we talk about the Armenian Genocide?” and they’ll say, “Absolutely not, because Turkey is our partner in the war on terror.” However, Clooney pointed out he could name plenty of politicians who did not avoid the subject of the Genocide. “They would talk about it as a reality, which of course it is.”
On March 10, Clooney joined humanitarian leaders to launch the Aurora Prize for Awakening Humanity, as a part of the 100 LIVES initiative. Clooney’s wife Amal recently represented Armenia at the European Court of Human Rights in an Armenian Genocide denial case.

The Pearl of Greece
Along with
that, Greece opens
a huge range
of entertainment and
holidays for the
visitors at every
season of the
year. Here February
and March are
the big carnival
months in the
Greek capital. Festivities
vary wildly encompassing
both traditional and
modern ranging from
live music to
colorful and loud
street parades. Central
Square is a
great place to
catch all the
action and soak
up the festive
spirit that resonates
throughout the city. For
the ten days
leading up to
Greek Orthodox Lent,
from 9-19th of
February, the streets
of Athens are
filled with color
as fancy-dress parades
and enormous parties
engulf the city.
This is the
last time Athenians
can party until
after Easter. On
the eve of
Lent head to Filopappou Hill
where families get
together for traditional
kite flying.
For
two weeks every
April, the Apollo-Renault Cinema
Theatre and French
institute of Athens
celebrates the very
best of French
cinema. As well
as new releases
there are also retrospectives of
important French directors
as well as
shorts and children’s
screenings.
All
year round you
can participate to
the climbing on
the Lycabettus Hill,
with its views
over the mist-shrouded
Saronic Gulf Isles.
There’s also a
funicular for those
not wanting to
climb. For those
interested in music
the Museum of
Greek Traditional Music
displays over 1200
folk music of the
Anogeiannakis collection. Every
showcase has audio, so
visitors get to
enjoy excerpts of
music from the instrument
on show. Keeping the
sounds of this
music, the pictures
of the ancient
temples and the beauty
of
the legends in
our minds, we
leave Athens for the
others to come
and explore it
and for us
to return next
time and reveal
the unexplored.
