October 20, 2016 By administrator

A popular American-Armenian musician and singer is headed to Andover this weekend to perform a benefit concert for The Armenian Friends of America.

Onnik Dinkjian, 87, will assume the stage for the “Hye Kef 5” Armenian dance on Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Doubletree by Hilton (formerly the Wyndham) on Old River Road in Andover.

The enduring performer will be accompanied by his son, Ara Dinkjian, founder of the instrumental group Night Ark, and a local all-star ensemble assembled just for the occasion.

The annual event is organized by the Armenian Friends of America, a nonprofit organization established five years ago to honor, celebrate and, most importantly, unite the four Armenian churches in the Merrimack Valley.

Proceeds will support the four churches, which include St. Gregory Armenian Apostolic Church of North Andover, The Armenian Apostolic Church of Hye Point in Bradford, Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church of Chelmsford and Ararat Armenian Congregational Church of Salem, N.H., as well as other Armenian charities.

“This is an exceptional opportunity to witness history and enjoy the true spirit of what brings Armenian-Americans together,” John Arzigian, chairman of the Armenian Friends of America, said in a press release.

“The goal of the AFA was to bring all Armenians in the Merrimack Valley and New England together for Christian brotherhood. The four Armenian Church communities in the Valley have supported this effort with the proceeds being donated back to each church community.”

A French-born, American-Armenian musician and singer, Dinkjian has performed over the last several decades with various Armenian musicians, such as violin and oud player Roupen Altiparmakian.

He will be joined on Saturday night by John Berberian on oud, Mal Barsamian on clarinet, son Ara Dinkjian on keyboard and Jason Naroian on dumbeg.

Arzigian is anticipating a sell-out event.

“It is without a doubt that having Onnik agree to perform for Hye Kef 5 is extraordinary,” Arzigian said. “At 87 years old, he is a legend, with boundless energy and a timeless love for his music and culture.”

The event goes from 7 p.m. to midnight. Tickets are $65, and include a full buffet. For tickets or information, call Arzigian at 603-560-3826, Lucy Sirmaian at 978-683-9121, Peter Gulezian at 978-375-1616, or Sharke Der Apkarian at 978-808-0598.

Istanbul: Hrant’s Friends: This is the murder of all operating together

August 8, 2016 By administrator

Dink friendHrant Dink, the trial of public officials today for the murder of the Istanbul 14th Heavy Penal Court continues. Friends of Hrant, for justice was Çağlayan Courthouse preliminary bout before the hearing.

Hrant’s friends, made a press statement in front of the courthouse as well as prior to each hearing.

In a press statement read by Bülent Aydın Friends of Hrant Dink was killed at the scene of the murder it has been determined that the gendarmes who were reminded, “it says over the years, but the form did not prove it. Now some of them were caught. So after nine years of involvement in the killings continued their official duties “the statement said.

The statement noted Dink’s murder tried to collapse on top of the Fethullah Gülen community “some people are called fetö’c assassination accomplice; it’s clear. But the rulers of today are in coalition, “fetö’cü made” can not stand out from the open complicity, saying “the statement said.

Hrant’s Friends get all of the following statement:

“Our friend is murdered, including almost ten years.

Ten years, endeavoring to explain how Hrant was killed by a coalition of national reconciliation.

The organizers, which states that the gunman when recruited by officers trained in that, he directed, he pushed from behind, we marshalled that nurtured. This is evidence of the assassination of the organization and then dimmed, we are working ignore government officials involved in the prevention of the investigation.

Supposedly to investigate the assassination, the inspectors will reveal the killer network, prosecutors, judges, despite the absence of any kind of possibility in the hands of the state, they could remove more evidence and truth revealed to us until today.

“Remove failed” but of course, they have not.

Now suddenly they bring.

When striking the killer of Hrant around the arms, where the gendarmes appeared safely allowing the escape. She says that over the years, but the form did not prove it. Now some of them were caught.

So after nine years of involvement in the killings continued their official duties!

Yet suddenly set in motion the most controversial of the names before the assassination, it was adhered to Trabzon Provincial Gendarmerie Commander Colonel Ali Öz side. Ali Oz, who is interested in preventing the assassination notice of his subordinates.

Good work, you say, nine-odd years later, though, to find the location of justice slowly.

Is that what you think?

Located about anyone doubt one of the most intense period of the Trabzon Police Intelligence Department of the Police Intelligence Engin Dinç still at the beginning of all, he was sitting with enormous powers in the hands, how will it? Taking orders from Colonel Ali Öz, who we learn that paved the way for murder? Does that have agreed to it in today’s power?

We can see, the whole Hrant’s murder “parallel structure” or “feto” called trying to destroy the organization. This means that it will not fit the mold will not be challenged to the emergence of the truth. However, Hrant’s highest institutions of the state Supreme Court to be targeted were involved in the process of NSC. MIT, the court, “there is no information available about this murder,” he was able to send a text to be killed our friend, sometimes cut-throat sometimes an organization with the participation of all the rulers came together.

Some people are also called fetö’c assassination accomplice; it’s clear.

But the arrest of one of the possible offenders will be brought to justice makes us happy, of course. However, developments are watching life without neglecting our basic knowledge of the original work: operating in this murder all together. “
