    Photographs have an unstoppable power to convince and Armenians need
    to search for more documents and evidence on the Armenian Genocide,
    noted British writer and journalist Robert Fisk said on Friday night.

    He was delivering a lecture entitled "Reporting the Middle East: Lies
    and Genocides" to commemorate the 97th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide at Pierre Keusseyan Community Hall, Sharjah.

    Talking exclusively to The Gulf Today on the sidelines, he said many
    photographs on the Genocide are yet to be recovered and perused.

    Opera singer Chrisine Belbelian sang songs by Gomidas accompanied by
    pianist Syuzanna Ohanyan.

    The Armenian Genocide was carried out during World War 1 between the
    years 1915 and 1918. The Armenian people were subjected to deportation,
    abduction, torture, massacre and starvation.

    Asked why Turkey was refusing to acknowledge the genocide, Fisk said
    the reasons may be many.

    "While one of the reasons is Turkey's attempt to join the European
    Union, there are also land issues. Many Armenians may ask for land
    back."

    On other topics, Fisk said he doubted "a state of Palestine will
    come about."

    Asked about being "technogically-challenged" as he puts it about
    himself, Fisk blasted the Internet, saying it took people away from
    the reading habit. "It is because of Net that words are misspelt and
    are ungrammatical. I receive around 250 real letters a week and that
    gives me lots of satisfaction," he told this correspondent.
