ASALA’s Day in the French National Assembly, Saturday, 7 January 2012 by Maxime Gauin

“Inquisitorial, liberticidal and obscurantist” said Josselin de Rohan, then Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the French Senate, on May 4, 2011. The first censorship bill regarding the Armenian issue was rejected by an overwhelming majority of senators. For purely electoral reasons, Nicolas Sarkozy oversaw the vote of a similar, new bill on December 22. The text was presented by Marseille’s Deputy Valérie Boyer. The text was adopted, against the opinion of most French editorialists, from the social-democrat Jean Daniel to the conservative YvanRioufol, who are hostile to the draft, against the statements of prominent French historians including Pierre Nora, and also against the hostility of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Alain Juppé and “discontentment” of the … Read More

Figure 1. A Sardinian Nuraghe

About The Ancient Sardinian NURAGHES and Their Possible Multifunctional Use (Part-3) by Polat Kaya

The Sardinian NURAGHE or SU NURAGHE: The Sardinian NURAGHE is defined by the Wikipedia link at  [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuraghe] as follows: "The nuraghe [nuˈraɡe] (plural Italian nuraghi, Sardinian nuraghes) is the main type of ancient megalithic edifice found in Sardinia.

A connection with the Semitic base of Arabic nūr light, fire ... is now generally rejected."[1] The latin word "murus" (wall) may be … Read More
