100TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO ANNOUNCED
| |
| The motto “I Remember and Demand” and the logo, the Forget-Me-Not flower, have been selected to be used worldwide for the Centennial Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide. The design was selected by the State Commission coordinating the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary from dozens of submissions. The Forget-Me-Not flower has the same meaning in all languages—not to forget, and it is recognized universally as a symbol of remembrance. The center of the flower in the logo symbolizes the 12 leaning pillars of the Tzitzernagapert Genocide Memorial in Armenia. The black dot symbolizes the genocide. The color purple represents the past, the tragedy, the present and the future. The five petals of the flower are the five continents on which the Armenians settled, creating Armenian communities and forming the Armenian Diaspora. Watch the video below [in Armenian] to learn more about the logo.

DATEVATSIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS
| |
More than forty students gathered at St. Mary of Providence Center in Elverson, Pennsylvania, for the weeklong Summer Program of St. Gregory of Datev Institute, from June 29—July 6, 2014. Here are some of their impressions: Overall, I think, it was an amazing Datev experience.
Davit Isakhanian (1st year Datevatsi) Datev is my favorite thing to look forward to. My favorite class is Armenian History. I enjoy learning about how everything came to be. I also enjoy Christian Morality because I learned on how to open up with people and to show who I really am. I will keep recommending my Armenian friends to come to Datev.
Arev Ebrimian (2nd year Datevatsi) The best part of Datev this year was how I made more friends and talked to people out of my comfort zone. I liked the classes because they made me learn new things and they were interesting. The classes are also really fun. The free time is the best part; I get to play games and talk to my friends. I just can't wait for the next year. I'm so excited.
Nayri Asayan (2nd year Datevatsi) Datev is a one of a life time experience and I think everyone should attend at least once in their life. In Datev, you learn and gain so much knowledge. One of my favorite classes was Christian Morality with Maggie tantig. You learn so much about Armenian History and more. I made so many great Armenian friends.
Ariana Kazanjian (2nd year Datevatsi) This year at Datev I had a lot of fun! I was rejoined with all of the friends I had made in previous years. Many group activities and Datev events such as soccer, volleyball, card games, the talent show, and many more helped to unite us all. I have grown to love Datev!
Sevan Asadourian (3rd year Datevatsi) My favorite part of Datev is the evening service. I love the meaning all the words hold. The classes are very informative and interesting. Datev is such an amazing experience. I 'm blessed to be given such an amazing opportunity to learn about my faith, culture and make lasting relationships and memories.
Deborah Agopian (3rd year Datevatsi) Datev this year was a lot of fun! Although there weren't many people here this year, I feel like it had its positives and negatives. One positive was that, since there weren't many people, I feel like everyone was able to get closer to each other. However, I feel like if there were more people, it would be a lot more fun. Datev was fun this year, but I'm upset we did not have a picnic.
Roubina Bozoian (3rd year Datevatsi) This is my third year attending the Datev Program. Datev is something I look forward to every year. I have created many new friendships and learned so much about my religion. I have two favorite things that we do at Datev. First is the evening service (it is calming and relaxing). Second is the annual talent show. My friends and I always dance an Armenian dance. Also the classes we have are very useful and I learn so much about events in history. It is a definite that I will be back next year.
Celina Seferian (3rd year Datevatsi) Datev has honesty changed my life. I love the connection I feel with everyone here, and being able to feel so close to such a lovely group of people, and being so able to build a better relationship with God. This program has changed my life in ways nobody will ever be able to comprehend. I love everyone here; they are like family.
Rebecca Holmquist (3rd year Datevatsi) Every year, I look forward to coming to Datev. I love making new friends, and seeing friends that I don't see often. When I leave Datev, I feel enlightened and my faith has strengthened.
Marina Tekeyan (4th year Datevatsi) Datev is a spiritual yet entertaining thing that I look forward to come to every year. I recommend that people attend Datev.
Nairi Asadourian (5th year Datevatsi) I am a fifth year post graduate student of the St. Gregory of Datev Institute. I enjoy the program, for it is both educational and fun. Going to the chapel, morning and night, adds to the spiritual aspect of the summer program.
Shaunt Doghramadjian (5th year Datevatsi) Datev was a good week to get closer with God and also hang out with friends and even make new friends. What I liked about Datev this year was the classes; they were both interesting and informative. I will be coming back next year!
Aram Kouyoumdjian (5th year Datevatsi) The first year of Datev is usually the most exciting. The rush of meeting new people and the opportunity presented to learn new things and participating in any type of activity is overwhelmingly fun. However, a volleyball game this year provided me with the same exact feeling I had back in my first year (2009). I knew then that Datev had a charm that was renewable for every year, even after graduating.

| BIBLE READINGS Bible readings for Sunday, July 20, Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, (Eve of the Fast of Transfiguration), are: Isaiah 3:1-11; Romans 11:13-24; Matthew 14:13-21. Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.” And he said, “Bring them here to me.” Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. (Matthew 14:13-21) For a listing of the coming week’s Bible readings click here.

| ELISHA THE PROPHET Today, Thursday, July 17, the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of Elisha the Prophet, whose life and works are recorded in 1 and 2 Kings. Elisha (“God is Salvation”), was a disciple of the Prophet Elijah, who at God’s command anointed Elisha to be his successor much like Jesus later did in calling his disciples in Galilee. Elisha performs miracles, healing the sick and reviving the dead. His message to his followers was that they should return to traditional religious practices and acknowledge God’s sovereignty over all aspects of life. When he healed the sick it was to demonstrate God’s power over life and death; when he helped in battle, it was to demonstrate God’s power over nations.
TWELVE APOSTLES OF CHRIST AND
SAINT PAUL, THE THIRTEENTH APOSTLE This Saturday, July 19, the Armenian Church celebrates the Feast of the Twelve Apostles of Christ and Saint Paul, who is considered the thirteenth apostle. Jesus selected twelve apostles to carry on His work and instructed them to preach and to baptize converts all over the world (Mt. 28:19-20). He gave the title “apostle” to the twelve (Luke 6:13; Mark 3:14). The word apostle derives from the Greek word apostellein (arakyal in Armenian). The apostles dedicated their lives to spreading the Word and fulfilling the sacred mission entrusted to them. Their mission was not just to transmit the message, but to put it into practice. Paul was initially an enemy of Christians and persecuted them. He had a vision on the road to Damascus and became a fervent Christian convert and was subsequently responsible in large measure for the rapid spread of the new religion. Most of the New Testament (aside from the four Gospels) is from the writings of Paul. The Armenian Church has its roots in the apostolic ministry and succession (Thaddeus and Bartholomew) and is therefore known as “apostolic,” (arakelagan). The apostles and their immediate successors (including the Armenian Church) defended the Orthodox faith and kept it pure.
PAREGENTAN OF THE FAST OF TRANSFIGURATION This Sunday, July 20, the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, is the Paregentan of the Fast of the Transfiguration—the five-day (Monday to Friday) period of fasting prior to the Feast of the Transfiguration (Aylagerboutyan / Vartavar), which is next Sunday, July 27.

| Assassination of Djemal Pasha
(July 21, 1922) The Nemesis Operation, approved by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in its 9th World Assembly, held in Yerevan in September-October 1919, had a long list of Turkish leaders responsible for the Armenian Genocide among its targets. One of them was Ahmed Jemal, minister of Marine of the Ottoman Empire and member of the leading triumvirate of the Committee of Union and Progress (Ittihad), together with Talaat, minister of Interior, and Enver, minister of War. Jemal had taken the command of the IV Ottoman Army, based in Syria, and had overseen the execution of the second phase of the genocide, when the survivors of the caravans of deportees were dispatched and killed in the camps along the Euphrates River. He had also been in charge of the assimilation of Armenian orphans. Some targets of the operation, such as Talaat and former grand vizier Said Halim, Behaeddin Shakir (leader of the Special Organization) and Jemal Azmi (the “monster of Trebizond”), had been liquidated in Berlin and Rome, under the supervision of the special body created by the A.R.F. (Enver would be killed by a Bolshevik Armenian in August 1922, in Central Asia.) Jemal Pasha was also in Berlin, but had been able to avoid the Armenian avengers. On July 26, 1922, The New York Times published a dispatch of the Associated Press, with byline Tiflis: “Djemal Pasha, former Minister of Marine in the Turkish Unionist Government, Chief of Staff of the Afghan Army, has been assassinated here. Two Armenians are charged with the crime. “Djemal Pasha was accompanied by two aides, who were also shot dead. He was traveling to Kabul from Berlin, where he had made important purchases from [sic] the Afghan Army." The Central Committee of the A.R.F. in Georgia still operated, although clandestinely, after Georgia had become a Soviet republic in March 1921. It organized the killing, according to Simon Vratzian: “At the initiative of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s Central Committee of Georgia, on July 21, 1922, in Tiflis and in broad daylight, the last surviving member [of the Ittihad triumvirate] and friend and accomplice of the Bolsheviks, Jemal Pasha, was assassinated. The incident had a shocking effect on everyone. The Cheka made innumerable arrests but did not dare to violent measures for fear of retaliations. Dro got permission from Moscow and quickly left for Tiflis, where all the distinguished Dashnaktsakans had been arrested. Dro’s prestige in the eyes of both the Dashnaktsakan comrades and the Bolsheviks was so great that it was possible for him to get the members of the Central Committee and other prisoners out of jail with conditions acceptable to both parties.” Little is known about the details of the operation. The name of Stepan Dzaghigian (who would later die in Siberia, exiled during the Stalinist purges) has been mentioned as one of the executors, helped by Petros Ter Poghosian and Ardashes Gevorgian. A fourth name, Zareh Melik-Shahnazarian, has also been mentioned as their collaborator in the last years, with the archives still waiting to yield their secrets.

| THE ARMENIAN LANGUAGE CORNER
(Prepared by the Armenian National Education Committee[ANEC])

| The Armenian Wine is Very English The word for “wine” has very old origins, which is not surprising. The Book of Genesis reminds us that Noah, after the Ark stopped on “the mountains of Ararat,” planted a vineyard. He made wine from it and got drunk, from which the curse of Canaan came (Gen 9: 20-25). It is not odd, then, that in 2011 the oldest winery, dated 6,000 years ago, was discovered in a cave in Armenia. Both the English and the Armenian words for “wine” come from the same source. The origin appears to be a lost word in a Mediterranean language, *win/*woin “wine.” It originated the terms in West Semitic (Arabic wain, Hebrew yāyin) and Proto-Indo-European (*wei(H)nyo-, *woi(H)nyo-). The latter, at its turn, gave birth to some ancient words: Hittite wiyan, Ancient Greek oînos, Latin vinum, Albanian venë, and Armenian գինի (gini). (It should not be forgotten that the Armenian letter գ was pronounced as g in the fifth century. It sounds k today in Western Armenian, while it remains as g in Eastern Armenian. This is why Western Armenians pronounce the word for “wine” as kini, while Eastern Armenians say gini.) Interestingly, the Proto-Indo-European word first became *gwei(H)nyo in Proto-Armenian and then gini in Classical Armenian. How do we know this? The Proto-Armenian term was probably the source for the word *ɣwino- (“wine”) in the Proto-Kartvelian language, a family of languages in the Caucasus from which came modern Georgian came (Georgian gvino “wine”). At its turn, Latin vinum was the origin for the early borrowing of Proto-Germanic *winam, which was the source for Old English win “wine” and for all other Germanic languages. The Latin word also originated the terms in Latin (French vin, Spanish vino) and Slavic languages (Russian vino). Now, why does the Armenian word looks different than the others (with the exception of Welsh gwin, also derived from the Latin)? Linguists have shown that Proto-Indo-European words starting with w entered the Armenian language with the sound g. We have another example in the Armenian word գործ (gortz; Western Armenian kordz “work”), which is derived from the Proto-Indo-European *worg-, the same source of the English work. It is a paradox, but not less true: words that look similar may have completely different origins, while words that look totally different may have the same origin. Feel free to celebrate differences... with or without a glass of wine! Previous entries in “The Armenian Language Corner” are on the Prelacy’s web site (www.armenianprelacy.org)
