Following the installation of the misleading Turkish monument in Ottawa last August, the Turkish Embassy of Canada is now planning to erect a monument at the Brantford Mount Hope Veterans' Cemetery (Ontario) in memory of the "Turkish" internees who were sent from Brantford to northern Ontario during WWI.

The problems that we face, such as corruption, nepotism, fraud, despotism, to name a few, are not unique to our Church and community but are noted in many clusters of the Armenian Diaspora, from Geneva to Montreal, Los Angeles to Lyon and Nice.
