I would like to share with you the response of BM to the letter of EHMFN Ashot Grigorian. Here is a small part of the letter to Mr. Grigorian. " Your concern appears to be primarily the concealment of Armenian culture through the use of modern geographical terminology.You cited the example of Armenian carpets being displayed as Turkish art and state that the Urartian display is part of this phenomenon. As I saide arlier, the use of current geographical terms by the British Museum is designed solely for clarity. When borders or country titles change we will change accordingly. (???) With very best wishes, Yours sincerely, Jonathan N. Tubb FSA Keeper Middle East" This is what makes me Outraged more, should Armenians go to war and win back my homeland, as Mr. Jonathan N. Tubb you are suggesting? Whole letter is here in Armenian and in English! http://pahanjater.t15.org/home/text.php?id=+816
