In Armenia ... Crying or Very sad

Robert Fisk on the Armenian Holocaust
In commemoration of the 90th anniversary of the events of April 1915
This moving talk begins with the account of Fisk walking the killing fields and still finding reminders of an event that has been hidden from public consciousness for too long. His talk is based on research on location and conversations with Armenian elders in senior homes in Beirut. Fisk spoke before the Armenian National Committee in San Francisco in March 2001.

As a war and Middle East correspondent for the London Times, and now for the London-based Independent, Robert Fisk has shown both personal and political courage.

His coverage of the wars in the Middle East has often incurred the wrath of governments whose policies he exposes.

Armenian-American organizations yesterday expressed outrage and opened an e-mail and letter-writing campaign to Congress, where Mr. Evans has significant support in the House.
