The French Senate just passed a bill, which criminalizes denial of the Armenian Genocide.
Turkey has threatened retaliatory measures against France following a French senate vote approving a bill that would outlaw denial that the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 constituted genocide.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey’s prime minister, said on Tuesday the bill, approved by 127 votes to 86 in the French upper house, was a result of “racist and discriminatory” attitudes toward Turkey.
“This is an extraordinary achievement for the film. The film will have a huge exposure, and will reach countries that would have been difficult to reach.”

“I don’t speak Armenian. On the other hand, I also don’t speak Hebrew, and I don’t feel as one of their own in Jewish surroundings. Until recently I looked at the calamities of the Armenians as I would look at misfortunes of any other nation – Native Americans, Chinese. But recently I met Hrant Matevosian during a conference. He is not like me at all, he is a real Armenian, he loses his mind from all the things that take place in his homeland. He is such a shy, sincere, kind, and absolutely angel-like person that, befriending him, I started looking at things from his point of view. So just like this, through him, I acquired certain Armenian feelings.”

There is more written today about Sergei Dovlatov than what he ever wrote himself. Dovlatov became a literary classic as soon as he published his first book. “Dovlatomania” ensued. The circulation of his books was so large, it seemed that it was not merely prose but a manual on how to become instantly wealthy. Even those who were far from literature were aware that a master of Zochenko’s and Chekhov’s standing had appeared. But by that time Dovlatov’s body had already been resting for almost a year at a New York cemetery.

than he ever wrote himself. His first book elevated him
into a rank of literacy classics both in the U.S and in the USSR.
Unfortunatly, he did not live long enough to see his own success.
