I would like to bring to your attention, that eyewitnesses reporting, that BM is trying to hide the Reality from Armenians, who have concerns!
here is Mrs. Mariana Asminians comment from LONDON,
"Apart from the laughable title "Ancient Turkey" (perhaps they are talking about Mongolia?) I was appalled to see that there is not even one mention of Armenia or the Armenian people in the whole display - the only place where the Museum timidly dared to mention Armenia was in one map on the "Ancient Iran" room. Failing to mention Armenia or the Armenian kingdoms is effectively distorting history, and submitting it to political and probably financial interests. Please please show the world why should they respect the British Museum by making sure the Armenian people are put on the map alongside the Medes/Persians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, Helens, Romans, Byzantines, etc."
Now what was Mr. Jonathan N. Tubb FSA
Keeper of Middle East will reply to this evidence?
We are all ears, Sir!
