Not so surprisingly, they are also part of the international discourse, this week with both Turkish and Armenian leaders referring to them at the <span>United Nations General Assembly Debate<\/span>. Less natural is the fact that this international debate continues to link the Armenia-Turkey border issue to a resolution of the Karabakh conflict, which may, or more likely, may not augur well for the Armenian side, which is at the receiving end of the brunt of the pressure. It was with all this in mind that Civilitas hosted a forum earlier this week during which Mr. <span>Vartan Oskanian<\/span>, chairman of the board of the Civilitas Foundation, and former foreign minister, <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=51532125&amp;msgid=670041&amp;act=NUUZ&amp;c=321853&amp;admin=0&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.civilitasfoundation.org%2Fcf%2Fdiscussions%2F227-oskanian-rejects-armenia-turkey-protocols.html\"><span>rejected the formulation of the protocols<\/span><\/span> and the way in which the process is moving forward.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">As you read <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=51532125&amp;msgid=670041&amp;act=NUUZ&amp;c=321853&amp;admin=0&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.civilitasfoundation.org%2Fcf%2Fdiscussions%2F227-oskanian-rejects-armenia-turkey-protocols.html\"><span>his speech<\/span><\/span> (in English) or <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/click.icptrack.com\/icp\/relay.php?r=51532125&amp;msgid=670041&amp;act=NUUZ&amp;c=321853&amp;admin=0&amp;destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.civilitasfoundation.org%2Fcf%2Fspotlight%2Fvideos%2F230-oskanian-rejects-armenia-turkey-protocols.html\"><span>watch the video<\/span><\/span> (in Armenian), you will notice new additions to the Civilitas site.

We believe this is an appropriate way to conclude the very interesting and successful exhibition of postcards documenting Armenian life in Turkey, 100 years ago. Turkish journalist, editor, publisher Osman Koker has been in Yerevan for two weeks, following the responses to the exhibition, offering tours to students and others wanting more detailed information about the life and traditions these postcards illustrate. A gallery of these postcards will be online soon.<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">We await your comments.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\">\n<div>\u00a0<span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.civilitasfoundation.org\/icontact\/images\/090227\/sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"55\" \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;font-family: Verdana\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: x-small;color: #000000;font-family: Verdana\">Salpi H.
