After holiday

Our holiday was so well placed, all of the team needed it. We have finished analysis and design phase of our international project very successfully.
It was finished the last day before the national holiday. Very good timing indeed.

After holiday, we are ready to tackle construction phase. One thing i would like to mention, we opted to use Jetty server to do quick development.(See jetty launcher) So far, we are very happy with it.


On holiday, i visited a nice village, got some fresh air and relaxed. i visited relatives and it was refreshing.

French colonisation is good for all of us

So French would require schools to stress the "positive role" of French colonialism.
You bet!!

France on Tuesday played down a stinging attack by Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, after he repeated claims that France's colonisation of the north African country had been "genocidal".

The foreign ministry in Paris said it saw Bouteflika's comments, made on Monday on the 61st anniversary of a massacre of Algerian civilians by French troops, as leaving room for cooperation.

"We understand, from these statements, that there is a shared will to move forward and to strengthen bilateral relations," said ministry spokesman Denis Simonneau.

In a declaration read at the site of the massacre in Guelma, eastern Algeria, Bouteflika described France's colonisation of his country, which it ruled from 1830 to 1962, as "long, brutal, genocidal".

Algeria, he said, had a "fundamental right" to a "public and solemn apology for the crime of colonisation committed againist our people".

The Algerian leader dismissed suggestions of a "crisis" between Paris and Algiers, but said there was "still much to do in order to fulfil our shared ambition to go further together".

The French foreign ministry declined to comment on Bouteflika's use of the word "genocidal".

Bouteflika raised tensions last month by declaring that colonial France had committed a "genocide of Algerian identity".

Relations between France and Algeria have been strained since February 2005 when the French government passed a law - later repealed - requiring schools to stress the "positive role" of French colonialism.

Plans for a "friendship treaty" between the two countries have been shelved indefinitely.

French humour

The question is that the French have jokes, but do they have a sense of humour?

apparently NO. After their joking with history and historians i am sure they have a dry sense of humour.

A handful of politicians after Armenian diaspora support is playing dangerous games.
French should know better that when a civil war starts, innocent people can get killed.
After all French legionners(whatever it is spelled) fueled lots of war in Africa.
With their dirty hands from Algeria and etal they are the last nation to tell us our history.

The silly side of thing is that French would punish anyone denying Armenians are victims of genocide. Not even academicians.. So french politicians decided it for everyone. full period.

Let the history reveal itself.
