Rom

I'm not the first to say so, but if Roma continues to work well, may one day reach the elite of Italian illustrators, along with Toppi and Di Gennaro

Spray Paint Is Still Sticky

Turkey in Europe, we hope ...

Not so for economic reasons but for the good of the country's ethnic and religious minorities, see here:

Erdogan and Christians. Few Promises, zero fattiVisita surprise turkish Prime Minister Bartholomew I. But like other conciliatory gestures in the past, this is likely to remain without seguito.di Sandro MagisterROMA, August 27, 2009 - Samuel Huntington called Turkey a "Janus" you never know if a friend or adversary of the West. The same thought must have been facing in the minds of Bartholomew I, ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople, in accepting the Aug. 15 last turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited the orphanage and monastery St. George Island Kudunas of Principles, in the Sea of \u200b\u200bMarmara.Era the first time that a prime minister turkish went Isle of Princes, traditionally inhabited by Christians, and in a building, the orphanage, whose property , seized by the Turkish authorities has been attributed to the Ecumenical Patriarchate by the court in Strasbourg in June during the visit 2008.Nel Erdogan, accompanied by four of his ministers, had lunch with Bartholomew I e con i rappresentanti delle minoranze religiose in Turchia – greci, armeni, ebrei, siro ortodossi e cattolici – ai quali ha assicurato garanzie contro ogni discriminazione religiosa ed etnica."Il mio prossimo va incontrato con amore perché è anch'esso creatura di Dio", ha detto Erdogan citando una massima di una confraternita sciita, quella dei mevlevi, sorta a Iconio nel XIII secolo con alcune particolarità riprese dal cristianesimo.Richiesto di un commento, Bartolomeo I ha detto ad Asia News: "La presenza di Erdogan ci ha onorato e ci è stata data l’occasione di esporre direttamente i nostri problemi, benché lui ne sia già a conoscenza. Abbiamo invitato il primo ministro alla sede del patriarcato ecumenico e in Halki, and Erdogan thanked for the invitation ": Halki is another island in which the theological training seminar of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, closed by the Turkish authorities in 1971. On June 10, Brussels, Oli Rehn, responsible for the enlargement of the European Union and then for a possible entry of Turkey, said that such entry is also conditional upon reopening Halki.Entro December 2009, Erdogan will have to submit to the authorities in Brussels, an account of progress made by Turkey in 'meet the standards required for membership. For the patriarchy, this is one more reason to hope that finally the reopening of Halki Theological Seminary and returns its funzioni.Purtroppo, however, occurred several times that "Janus" has overturned the expectations, showing this and other religious minorities in Turkey, his face is not a friend but ostile.Per regard patriarchy, for example, the State turkish still does not recognize his "ecumenical" religious. It treats it like a local authority for the worship of the greek orthodox, led by a chief who must be turkish citizen from birth, with no legal personality and hence property rights. The annihilation of the patriarchy - which today in Turkey is reduced to little more than 3,000 faithful - has not yet made any serious glimpse marcia.Questo reverse is also true for other Christian minorities. The community's share, that of the Armenians, has been decimated by more than a century ago a genocide that the authorities in Ankara refuses to recognize, and today there are tens of thousands out of a population of over 70 million people, almost all Muslims . Catholics are about 25 000, with six bishops, 10 000 Syrian Orthodox, Protestants of various denominations mila.Come Erdogan 3, but not for the same reasons, all these religious minorities are confident eagerly entry of Turkey into the European Union . For them, this input would result in the recognition of an area of \u200b\u200bfreedom that otherwise fear will be very compresso.Nella Europe itself, however, these reasons, they receive little consideration. There are governments, including the Italian and German, in favor of Turkey while others, like France, are opposed. Both the first and the second reason, however, in terms of national interest. The calculations on oil and gas pipelines coming from the countries of Central Asia and Turkic-speaking Muslims, through Turkey, take precedence over those related to religious freedom.

How Much Are Records At Half Price

What artist is this?
















Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin, Russian illustrator of the early twentieth century, known to have mixed elements of Art Nouveau (borrowed from the famous Japanese prints), with themes ranging from traditional Slavic icons, architecture and the decorative motifs fabrics. He has had a significant influence on the Soviet school of animation.


These are the data in its brief, but my passion for Bilibin comes from another of my passion for Russia and Eastern Europe in general. A culture close to us but we know little, and indeed even the Byzantine culture and the Saracen, although they have left traces in our country strong, maybe we neglect to devote to the Celts and Vikings.


Bilibin In my mind then is added to the image of Sadko, a Soviet film award at Cannes for boys, which to me is a must of the fantastic, together with the works of Ray Harryhausen. I recommend everyone to look for a few clips on YouTube.
