Armenia
24 and 25 April 1915
Armenia | Australia | Ottoman
Australia's Armenian story
by Vicken Babkenian & Judith Crispin
Inside Story
'Australia has had a long relationship with Armenia and its people. But since Australia also has a Turkish past – because Gallipoli in Turkey is such an important part of Australia’s understanding of the place of the first world war in our history – it also needs to come to terms with what happened to the people of Armenia during and after that conflict.'

On John Berger
Ben Lerner
Postscript: John Berger, 1926-2017
The New Yorker
Read Confabulations (Penguin Random House, 2016)
review by Kate Kallaway: 'People forget that Berger is funny. And curious. And that he listens – how he listens.'
Berger: “The way I observe comes naturally to me as a curious person – I’m like la vigie – the lookout guy on a boat who does small jobs, maybe such as shovelling stuff into a boiler, but I’m no navigator – absolutely the opposite. I wander around the boat, find odd places – the masts, the gunwale – and then simply look out at the ocean. Being aware of travelling has nothing to do with being a navigator.”
