With my strong belief that any discussion of so called rights etc... should accompany due respect and compassion for the lives of beloved ones that faded a way in the turmoils caused by the games between Russion Csars' and Ottoman Kings'
egos. Alas today, both sides forget to acknowledge the value of human life in their striving for 'success'...
