GOOGLE EARTH REMOVES IMAGE OFFENDING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIM’S MEMORY
- Due to numerous protests by Armenians, Panoramio website has removed the offending image where Armenian Genocide Memorial was named as "Talaat Pasha monument", independent French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net. As Jean Eckian reported earlier, Armenian Genocide Memorial was renamed into "Talaat Pasha monument" in the Google Earth project. This profanation was signed as Haluk Dolmayan, what is, actually, a modified name of Director of Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum, Hayk Demoyan, and is dated March 12, 2008. The photo was added in the database of Panoramio, a partner of Google, whose photos can be seen in Google. “The question is to know how such provocation became possible, who is author and whether it could be a member of Google Earth or Panoramio staff?" Jean Eckian said.

Today in Armenian history- 1920 Lenin chairs a meeting of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party on the political question of Armenia and Georgia.
- 1991 The USSR Constitutional Oversight Committee deems unconstitutional the Supreme Soviets decision to create a Republic Organizational Committee in Soviet Azerbaijan headed by Viktor Polianichko (on 1990 01 15) in Artsakh as well as the 1991 11 23 decision by Azerbaijani President Mutalibov to dissolve the Nagorno Gharabagh Autonomous Region. It also revoked the reunification decision taken by Armenia and Artsakh on 1989 12 01. It does not annul the decision (1991 09 02) of the Nagorno Karabagh District Councils (including the Shahumian district) on the establishment of the Republic of Nagorno Karabagh. That decision was deemed in compliance with the then existing law of 1990 04 03 on the Procedure of Secession of a Soviet Republic from the USSR.
