A high-profile review of "Armenian Golgotha." I have a good feeling about the visibility and sales for this book :)

Did the Armenian genocide have its own Primo Levi?

I have to admit, that was one of the most stupidest articles I've ever read. No offense to Ani, linking to it. But Andrew Bostom can't write, and his closing-off of the comments section because he does "not tolerate genocide denial. The jihad genocide of the Armenians is a tragic historical reality" is offensive.

He mixes up the Holocaust with "jihad." Those two have nothing to do with one another. I've never heard any Armenian refer to the Armenian Holocaust as one perpetrated by Muslims on a Jihad. The Armenian Holocaust was never, ever a jihad.

Andrew Bostom is an idiot.

Andrew Bostom: Boring writer, stupid article, false equation of the Armenian Holocaust with "jihad."

No offense taken, Armen-jan.

No offense taken, Armen-jan. I thought it was interesting that the book was being marketed to Jewish readers, which should increase sales beyond Armenian readership, but you're right, "jihad" was a stupid and incorrect word to use. More evidence of the Jewish marketing angle from the other review I linked.

And here is a review that appeared yesterday in the Washington Post, by Chris Bohjalian:

Hello,I am john Marsh talk

Hello,I am john Marsh talk to you fantastic site in my hand in this time this is very helpful for me and others.Product transported toArmenia under « Temporary importation for reprocessing » guidelines is not subject to custom taxes and VAT tax. Also, companies importing under such official conditions are obliged to export the finalized reprocessed goods. It is difficult to say under what category the reprocessed ore has been defined as and the amount of the final product. It is possible that after reprocessing the amount of molybdenum remained the same as the imported ore or a bit less. Then too, it could be more.During the years 2005, 2006 and 2007, the average price of molybdenum of the international market was $80,000. If we assume for a moment that 977 tons of pure molybdenum was obtained from the 1,955 tons of imported ore then the value of the reprocess product would be around $78 million. If it turns out that the importation and exportation was transacted illegally with false documentation, those involved in the deal have dealt a multi-million dollar blow to the Armenian government.

Regards
JOHN MARSH.
