Se kertoo pitkälle kehitetyn fiktiivisen version tarinasta Sasanian kuninkaan Khosrow II: n rakkaudesta Armenian prinsessa Shiriniin, josta tulee Persian kuningatar. Olennainen kertomus on persialaista alkuperää oleva rakkaustarina, joka tunnettiin jo suuresta eepos-historiallisesta runosta Shahnameh ja muista persialaisista kirjailijoista ja suosituista tarinoista, ja muissa teoksissa on sama otsikko.
ellauri022.html on line 940: Shapur, Khosrow'n läheinen ystävä ja taidemaalari, kertoo Khosrow'lle Armenian kuningattaresta Mahin Banusta ja hänen veljentytöstään Shirinistä. Kuullessaan Shapurin kuvauksia Shirinin virheettömästä luonteesta, nuori prinssi rakastuu kuulonvaraisesti Shiriniin, armenialaisen prinsessaan. Shapur matkustaa Armeniaan etsimään Shiriniä. Shapur löytää Shirinin ja näyttää Shirinille kuvan Khosrowsta. Shirin rakastuu samoin sika säkissä tyyppisesti Khosrowiin ja pakenee Armeniasta Khosrowin pääkaupunkiin Mada'iniin; mutta sillä välin myös Khosrow pakenee isänsä vihaa ja lähtee Armeniaan etsimään Shiriniä.
ellauri092.html on line 221: Today, there are many different Methodist denominations, but they all hold similar views in several areas. They all follow Wesleyan (or Armenian) theology, emphasize practical life over doctrine, and hold to the Apostle’s Creed. Most Methodists groups reject that the Bible is inerrant and sufficient for life and godliness, and many groups are presently debating the moral standards of the Bible, especially as they relate to human sexuality, marriage, and gender.

Yankelovich is survived by his daughter, Nicole Mordecai, and her husband David; granddaughter Rachel Mordecai; sister Libby Schenkman and her children Fay and Max. In 1959, he married Hassmieg Kaboolian; that marriage ended in divorce. She was Armenian. He later married Mary Komarnicki, now deceased, and then Barbara Lee. More recently, he lived in La Jolla with his companion, Laura Nathanson. Laura got nothing, being just a companion. Neither did Kaboolian nor Komarnicki, nor Barbara Lee, for being utter failures, having wrong opinions, or wrong religion.
ellauri115.html on line 408: Of course it must have been galling for Hume, hailed in Paris, to be reduced, in the shrewd observation of an intimate Edinburgh friend, William Rouet, Professor of Ecclesiastical and Civil History, to being "the show-er of the lion". The lion stood out in his bizarre Armenian outfit, complete with gown and cap with tassels, and was almost everywhere accompanied by his dog, Sultan. Hume was astounded by the fuss, somewhat meanly putting it down to Rousseau's curiosity value.

A minority of the population are from other Slavic ethnic groups, including Belarusians and Ukrainians. Kaliningrad today is also home to small communities of Tatars, Germans, Armenians, Poles, and Lithuanians.
ellauri222.html on line 571: Harold Mintouchian is a wealthy, distinguished Armenian lawyer and international businessman who is the married lover of a friend of Stella’s and becomes a close friend and mentor of Augie. At the end of the novel, Augie works for him as a black market trader in Europe. Augie looks up to the older man as “a sage, prophet, or guru, a prince of experience with his jewel toes” and seeks his wisdom. Mintouchian, who has seen much of the darker side of human nature through his law practice, has more realistic ideas than the love-bitten Augie about what to expect from human relationships. Secrecy and lies, he tells Augie, are unavoidable. “Mind you, I’m a great admirer of our species. I stand in awe of the genius of the race. But a large part of this genius is devoted to lying and seeming what you are not.” He confesses to Augie that his mistress, Agnes, is keeping secrets from him, while he is keeping secrets from his wife.

ellauri242.html on line 229: Hyvin pian räjähdyksen jälkeen venäläiset viranomaislähteet kertoivat, että räjähtänyt pommirekka oli Krasnodarissa rekisteröity venäläinen kuorma-auto. Rekka oli ajanut Venäjän Krasnodanin alueelta kohti Krimiä. Ajoneuvon krasnodanilaisen omistajan mukaan räjähdyshetkellä rekkaa kuljetti omistajan vanhempi sukulaismies (pieni, kalju). Yleistä varmuutta tämän pommirekkateorian oikeellisuudesta ei kuitenkaan ole. Lasti lähettiin elokuun alussa Odessan satamasta Bulgarian Ruseen, josta se laivattiin Georgian Potiin ja sieltä Armeniaan. Kuljetuksessa oli mukana Ukrainan, Georgian ja Armenian kansalaisia, ja sitä valvoi Ukrainan sotilastiedustelun työntekijä ”Ivan Ivanovitš”.

ellauri275.html on line 674: Puolueen kymmenennessä kongressissa , joka pidettiin maaliskuussa 1921, vaadittiin, ettei Ordzhonikidzeä valittaisi uudelleen; Pohjois-Kaukasuksen edustajat totesivat, että Ordzhonikidze, joka ei päässyt paikalle Georgian hyökkäyksen vuoksi, "huutaa kaikille, käskee kaikkia ympärillään, ei huomioi uskollisten puolueen jäsenten mielipiteitä". Lenin ja Stalin puolustivat häntä: edellinen paljasti, että Ordzhonikidze oli kuuro toiselta korvalta ja hänen täytyi huutaa jopa Leninille itselleen kuullakseen itsensä. Tämän tuen myötä Ordzhonikidzen johtamistyyliä koskeva kritiikki väheni ja hänet valittiin uudelleen edustajaksi. Azerbaidžanin, Armenian ja Georgian hyökkäysten aikana Ordzhonikidze pyrki myös toimimaan itsenäisesti. Hän jätti usein huomiotta kaikki neuvot,

Kreikkalaiset valitsivat uudet upseerit, heidän joukossaan Xenophonin, ja lähtivät marssimaan pohjoiseen Mustallemerelle Corduenen ja Armenian kautta.
ellauri315.html on line 426: Talvi oli jo saapunut, kun kreikkalaiset marssivat Armenian halki "täysin vailla sellaiseen säähän sopivia vaatteita", aiheuttaen enemmän uhreja kuin he kärsivät paikallisen satraapin väijytyksen ja toisen joukon rinnalla.

ellauri483.html on line 145: Michael Arlen (born Dikran Sarkis Kouyoumdjian, Armenian: Տիգրան Գոյումճեան, 16 November 1895 – 23 June 1956) was an essayist, short story writer, novelist, playwright, and scriptwriter. He had his greatest successes in the 1920s while living and writing in England, publishing the best-selling novel The Green Hat in 1924. The Green Hat was considered so daring in the United States that the producers did not allow any associations with it. The film was renamed A Woman of Affairs, and the characters were also renamed to mollify the censors. In particular, the film script eliminated all the references to heroin use, homosexuality and syphilis that were at the core of the tragedies involved.
ellauri483.html on line 147: Dikran Sarkis Kouyoumdjianon was born 16 November 1895, in Ruse, Bulgaria, to an Armenian merchant family, having three brothers, Takvor, Krikor, and Roupen, and one sister, Ahavni. Arlen's family moved  to the seaside town of Southport in Lancashire, England. We will never know why Arlen made the "silly mistake" of going to Edinburgh instead of Oxford. Bulgaria being allies with Germany made England suspicious of Dikran. Other draft dodgers were Aldous Huxley, D. H. Lawrence, Nancy Cunard, and George Moore. Dikran spent some time in France with Nancy Cunard in 1920, although she was married to someone else at the time; the relationship fuelled Aldous Huxley's jealousy.
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 252: In fact, I’m reminded of a letter I received in relation to my seventh novel from an Armenian-American who objected – why did I have to make the narrator of We Need to Talk About Kevin Armenian? He didn’t like my narrator, and felt that her ethnicity disparaged his community. I took pains to explain that I knew something about Armenian heritage, because my best friend in the States was Armenian, and I also thought there was something dark and aggrieved in the culture of the Armenian diaspora that was atmospherically germane to that book. Besides, I despaired, everyone in the US has an ethnic background of some sort, and she had to be something! Joe Biden has finally admitted that the Armenian genocide was a genocide and not just an unusually bad case of flu. I am not convinced of it yet.
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 276: I worry that the clamorous world of identity politics is also undermining the very causes its activists claim to back. As a fiction writer, yeah, I do sometimes make my narrator an Armenian. But that’s only by way of a start. Merely being Armenian is not to have a character as I understand the word. I need to add a whole host of racial prejudices to fatten him out. Luckily I didn't need to do that with my bro.

When asked about his visit to the Vatican, Khachaturian responded: "I'm an atheist, but I'm a son of the [Armenian] people who were the first to officially adopt Christianity and thus visiting the Vatican was my duty."
xxx/ellauri268.html on line 520: Poliittisena aktivistina Wieselistä tuli säännöllinen puhuja holokaustista ja hän pysyi elinaikanaan vahvana ihmisoikeuksien puolustajana. Hän puolusti oikeutta lukuisissa asioissa ympäri maailmaa, mukaan lukien Neuvostoliiton ja Etiopian juutalaisten, Etelä-Afrikan apartheidin, I$raelin apartheidin, Ruandan kansanmurhan, Bosnian kansanmurhan, Gazan kansanmurhan, Darfurin sodan, kurdien itsepäisyysliikkeen, Armenian kansanmurhan, Argentiinan desaparecidos -liikkeen , Nicaraguan moskito-kansan , Sri Lankan tamilien ja Kambodžan kansanmurhan. Hän oli myös äänekäs Israelin puolestapuhuja ja tuki usein maata arabien ja Israelin välisen konfliktin kärjistyessä sekä Iranin ja Israelin ydinasekonfliktien aikana .
xxx/ellauri380.html on line 456: As a political activist, Wiesel became a regular speaker on the subject of the Holocaust and remained a strong defender of it during his lifetime, plus other similar events including that of Soviet Jews and Ethiopian Jews, South African apartheid, the Rwandan genocide, the Bosnian genocide, the War in Darfur, the Kurdish independence movement, the Armenian genocide, Argentina's Desaparecidos, Nicaragua's Miskito people, the Sri Lankan Tamils, and the Cambodian genocide. What a pity that he just missed the Palestinian genocide. He was also an outspoken advocate for Israel and frequently weighed in to support the country during escalations of the Arab–Israeli conflict and throughout the Iran–Israel proxy conflict, while also hosting direct talks to facilitate the Israeli–Palestinian "peace process", as the genocide was called in his time.
xxx/ellauri387.html on line 172: Tähän aikaan Pyhästä maasta tuli uutisia, jotka huolestuttivat kristikuntaa. Kristityt oli voitettu Edessan piirityksessä ja suurin osa maakunnasta oli joutunut seldžukkien turkkilaisten käsiin. Jerusalemin kuningaskuntaa ja muita ristiretkeläisvaltioita uhkasi samanlainen katastrofi. Armenian piispojen lähetystöt pyysivät apua paavilta, ja Ranskan kuningas lähetti myös suurlähettiläät. Vuonna 1144 Eugenius III valtuutti Bernardin saarnaamaan toista ristiretkeä ja myönsi sille samat edut, jotka paavi Urbanus II oli myöntänyt ensimmäiselle ristiretkelle.
xxx/ellauri441.html on line 349: Lewis was also known for denying the Armenian Genocide. His argument that there was no evidence of a deliberate genocide carried out against the Armenian people by the Ottoman Empire is rejected by other historians. He said that the mass killings resulted from a mutual struggle between two nationalistic movements, a view that has been criticized as "ahistorical." It is an easy guess what he would say about the genocide in Gaza.  Good riddance of bad rubbish, that's all one can say.
