I wont be there anytime before 6pm PST either. Thats when a couple hundred of us Armenians will arrive in buses and all for Vanes.
The buses drive a good 4 or 5 hours all the way from Glendale, CA. Now those are some hardcore "Nightmare" fans.

myself, Vanes' uncle, and some other close friends.Originally posted by boxing2005
We sell tickets in our local Glendale/Burbank area to all the Armenian fans. Every fight the numbers grow and grow so we are making progress in and out of the ring.
Vanes also goes on the local Armenian tv channels here and talks about past and upcoming fights. He is quite a celebrity already in the Glendale area and in the Armenian community.Comment

I truelly admire your dedication to your fighter. Are you Armianian if so much respect to your people not an easy lot they have been dealt. The ottoman/ turkish persicution was unexcusable and has never been brought up for restituition or pencience by any international body. The people of Armenia where greatly wronged whole cities, villiages and families were wiped out for a precieved ethnic threat. The genocide was horrible. much of it has been undocumented untill now with a fairly large effort from the international community to uncover those horrors. There are some who say that this may block turkey from being a memember in the E.U I don't know if its true but we will see. Much Love from an other persicuted former solviet state Ukrian.Originally posted by VanesBoxingComment

Yes I am Armenian my friend.
Myself and Vanes have been active for years in the struggle to bring more awareness about the Armenian Genocide of 1915.
Over 1.5 million Armenians were massacred by the Ottoman Turks and to this day the Turkish government still denies that the mass execution of the Armenian people ever happened.
This is all very sad and unjust, not only for the Armenian people, but for all of humanity.
The United States of America have yet to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide as well. Most countries around the world have recognized it, including Argentina, France, Canada, Russia, but the US still will not because of their political ties with Turkey.

Most of the world has recognized the Armenian Genocide but what is interesting is that the 2 countries which always promote "Democracy" and "Peace" have not. These 2 countries are USA and Israel.
Israel should know better from it's own past.
Vanes debut is going to be awesome. He is finally going to be seen all around the world. He has great boxing skills and will finally get a chance to show the world.Comment
