Armenian Alphabet Memory Match Released to Apple’s AppStore

Pasadena, California – November 10, 2009 – The iPhone and iPod Touch have become mainstream worldwide products over the past couple years, and now Random Pixel Games has developed an Armenian based educational game for the platform.

The first Armenian game for the AppStore has game play suited for adults and children alike.  Similar to a memory match card game, the player must match all the alphabet pairs in a given amount of time and achieve a high score.

The idea for an Armenian alphabet game was conceived by two Armenian private school students from California who after graduation realized their recognition of certain Armenian letters was diminishing over time.

“It started to get harder and harder to distinguish certain letters from one another,” says George Paloulian of Random Pixel Games, “because of the lack of daily exposure to Armenian literature. In response, we came up with Armenian Memory Match to provide us and our generation common exposure to the Armenian alphabet with a certain entertainment twist.”

The number of applications made for the iPhone and iPod Touch continue to grow on a weekly basis and Random Pixel Games has released hopefully what is the first of many Armenian applications to follow.

“This is a wonderful cultural addition to Apple’s AppStore, and we hope that Armenian Memory Match’s release sparks a wave of Armenian themed applications and games for the Apple devices in the near future.”

Random Pixel Games is a game studio based in Pasadena, California. Their focus is creating games for mobile platforms such as the iPhone, iPod Touch, Android and PSP.

    Yea I actually downloaded it and tried it out. I got to admit it’s pretty good. Simple but addicting gameplay. Play a game and pass it on to a buddy to see if they can beat it. Good way to kill some time with some friends if you ask me.

London Editorial: Turkey in “dark ages”

March 19, 2010

(The following editorial is from the London Daily News online journal.)

Turkey once again is retreating into “dark ages mode” with threats by Prime Erdogan following comments during a recent visit to London to expel 100,000 Armenians in Turkey “if necessary I will tell the 100,000: OK, time to go back to your country”.

The issue of the Armenian genocide and the failure by Turkey to recognize this ever happened, not only discredits any aspirations that Turkey has of joining the European Union, but also its supporters which include the current Conservative and Labour party’s in the UK.

Los Angeles to host an event in commemoration of Shahan Natalie’s 125th anniversary

March 18, 2010

In commemoration of the 125th anniversary of Shahan Natalie’s birth, the Shahan Natalie Family Foundation invites the public to attend a tribute to the living memory of the internationally known intrepid Armenian thinker, writer, orator, and activist.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 10, 2010, in the Los Angeles Public Library’s Mark Taper Auditorium. Preceding the afternoon program, Sylva Natalie Manoogian will lead a Hye (Armenian) Treasures tour of the Central Library’s resources, Asbarez.com reported.

Born in the village of Husenik, province of Kharberd, Historic Armenia, Shahan Natalie (born Hagop Der Hagopian) was orphaned at the age of 11, during the 1895 Hamidian massacres of the Armenians. He was sent to Istanbul and was accepted by the famed Berberian Academy, where his literary career and community activism were launched.

British Justice Minister Tells Erdogan the Armenian Genocide Bill Will Not Pass

March 17, 2010

British Justice Minister Jack Straw on Tuesday assured Turkey’s Prime Minister that Parliament would not pass a resolution recognizing the Ottoman-era killings of Armenians as genocide, CNNTürk reported.

“The chance of this becoming law is zero. I can assure everyone on this issue, Straw said.

After the Swedish parliament adopted an Armenian genocide resolution last week, many have turned their attention to the British Parliament, where a draft will be submitted to a House of Commons committee after a second reading on April 30.

If it is approved, an Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day will be established in the country.

“The English government and the opposition do not support this draft,” Straw said.

Davutoglu Speaks Out Against Deporting Armenians Living in Turkey Without Status

March 16, 2010

To deport citizens of Armenia living illegally in Turkey means to give a “winning card” to those countries who come out against Turkey, said Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu during a closed-door meeting of the foreign affairs committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly, responding to opposition People’s Republican Party MP Canan Arıtman’s earlier statements which suggested deporting all Armenian citizens.

“Such a step would become a winning card in the hands of those countries who are against us. In addition, all of the world’s countries’ papers will publish articles about deported Armenians. A nationalist image would form, [and] Turkey will be in a more difficult situation,” said Davutoglu.
