ARARAT ZURABIAN: MOST OF ALL THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN RALLIES IN
1988 WILL GIVE THEIR VOTES FOR ARMENIAN NATIONAL MOVEMENT

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The purpose of the current ruling
regime in Armenia is its reproduction, while the opposition’s main
objective is not to allow such reproduction – be it in the version
of Vartan Oskanian or Serge Sargsian. Ararat Zurabian, Chairman of
the Armenian National Movement (ANM) Board, expressed this opinion
at a press conference on October 20. "I think that if in 2003 the
opposition had taken a more resolute steps, everything would have had
a normal outcome," he said. According to him, in order to participate
in the parliamentary elections, the party will try to form an alliance
with several political forces. He indicated the Republic Party and
the Liberal Progressive Party as possible allies. A. Zurabian said
that the ANM will not unite with the Aylntrank (Alternative) social
political initiative that has the same ideological principles. In his
words, there are no serious disagreements between the two bodies, but
some problems exist. That is why some members left the ANM and formed
the organization Armat later reorganized into Aylntrank. A. Zurabian
noted that the current authorities never received more than 10-15%
of votes at elections – the rest was added. According to him, at the
time when ANM was in power, elections were never rigged, and if such
a thing happened, it was done by people like the defence minister
Serge Sargsian and the prime minister Andranik Margarian who were
in power at that time too. As regards the current rating of ANM,
in A. Zurabian’s words, the party’s electorate are those who were
participating in rallies in 1988. Some of them who left Armenia or
changed their views will be replaced by those who did not yet have
the right to vote at that time. Noting that many people boycotted the
referendum on Constutitional amendments in response to the ANM’s calls,
A. Zurabian added: "I think that in Armenia there is an environment
where we have our votes."

BBC News, UK
Oct 21 2006

Meadows’ previous films include A Room for Romeo Brass Director Shane
Meadows has picked up the special jury prize at the inaugural Rome
Film Festival for This Is England. The film, set in 1983, is about an
impressionable young boy who becomes involved with a gang of skinheads.

"I thank the jury because the subject matter of the film is not
something easy to vote for," Meadows told the AFP news agency.

Russian film Playing The Victim, a modern-day version of Shakespeare’s
Hamlet, won the best film prize.

Emotional

The films were judged by a popular jury of 50 film fans chosen from
the public.

The director of Playing the Victim, Kirill Serebrennikov, gave an
emotional speech after the winner was announced.

"This film is a film for Russia and for Russians. Because we
still believe that cinema can change people’s way of thinking and
consciences," he said.

France’s Ariane Ascaride was named best actress for her role in Robert
Guediguian’s poignant drama Armenia.

Italy’s Giorgio Colangeli was judged best actor in the film L’Aria
Salata (The Salt Air) by Alessandro Angelini.

The film follows the story of a father and son who are reunited in
unusual circumstances after years of estrangement.

Sir Sean Connery was honoured with a lifetime achievement award on
the eve of the festival earlier this month.

RTUK Recommends "French Media Boycott"

Supreme Radio and Television Board issues recommendation for Turkish
media to boycott ‘French media products’ in a retaliation to the
"Armenian Genocide Bill". Recommendation in force until bill is
completely off the agenda.

BIA News Center
21/10/2006 Erol ONDEROGLU

BÝA (Ankara) – The Supreme Radio and Television Board (RTUK) of
Turkey has issued a recommendation for all Turkish radio and
television stations to impose a boycott on French media products in
retaliation to the French Parliament’s passing of a controversial
bill criminalizing the denial of the existence of an "Armenian
Genocide".

The recommendation was adopted in an October 17 meeting of the
highest board regulating radio and television broadcasts in Turkey
and members of RTUK voted in favor of it unanimously.

A statement issued by the Board after the decision referred to the
French Parliament’s decision to pass the Armenian Genocide Bill as "a
great injustice done to the Turkish people" and continued:

"A decision has been taken to recommend radio and television
broadcasting corporations in Turkey not to air French-sourced media
products until the draft law proposal for the punishment of those
denying the so-called Armenian genocide is completely off the
agenda". (EO/II/YE)

10 PROJECTS ON GREEHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS REDUCTION TO BE IMPLEMENTED
IN ARMENIA

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. It is envisaged to implement 10
projects aimed at reduction of greehouse gases emissions and on the
Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol. Two projects –
"Extraction of Biogas at Yerevan’s Nubarashen Solid Household
Waste Dump and Electricity Production" and "Lusakert Biogas
Plant" are already being implemented. Diana Harutyunian, Head of
the Climatic Changes Programs implemented by the RA Ministry of
Nature Protection, said during a seminar on October 20 that three
other projects are at the stage of ratification, and five – at the
development stage. According to her, one of the ratified projects
is being implemented jointly by Yerevan Mayor’s Office and Shimizu
Corporation (Japan) (investments of 8 mln USD), and the second one –
by Max Concern Ltd and Denmark’s Environmental Protection Agency
(investments of 2.5 mln USD). In her words, the Kioto Protocol
adopted within the framework of the UN Convention on Climate Changes
establishes additional quantitative obligations on reduction of
greenhouse gases emissions only for developed countries. However,
as the climate system is not affected by the place of emission of
greenhouse gases, the developed countries can fulfil part of their
obligations in other countries. D. Harutyunian said that before the
1990s, emmissions of greenhouse gases made 25 mln tons annually in
Armenia. Today they make about 5 mln tons because of a decline in
industrial production.

ARMAVIA THREATENS TO SUE PILOT WHO EXPRESSED VERSION ABOUT EXPLOSION IN A-320 CRASHED PLANE

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. The airline Armavia has no
information to confirm the version about an explosion in the
plane A-320 that crushed during a Yerevan-Sochi flight in May. NT
was informed from Armavia’s press service that Armenia has no such
facts. According to the same course, if such facts are available, they
should be provided to the prosecutor’s office, and if it turnes out
that these facts are unfounded, Armavia may hold those spreading such
rumors criminally responsible. To recap, at a conference on October 19,
Vladimir Poghosian, former pilot of the liquidated airline Armenian
Airways, said that the crashed plane A-320 was not uncontrollable
and the real cause of the crash was an explosion. The pilot accused
the persons responsible for the flight organization, including the
flight safety units of Zvartnots Airport and Armavia.

REVIEW
She’s got the singing down, but audience must trust that Galas has
the right words

Joshua Kosman, Chronicle Music Critic

Saturday, October 21, 2006

For nearly three decades, the avant-garde vocalist and composer
Diamanda Galas has been a pitiless virtuoso of two emotional realms:
rage and grief. Given the state of things, she doesn’t look ready to
run out of material anytime soon.

Galas returned to the Bay Area on Thursday after a long absence with
an evening-length work that was at once new and wrenchingly familiar.

"Defixiones: Orders From the Dead," an 80-minute memorial tribute to
the Armenian, Greek and Assyrian victims of the Turkish genocide,
deploys all the darkly expressionistic musical resources in her
considerable arsenal — from operatic shrieks to guttural growls,
with stops in between for lullabies, ululations and simple (and
not-so-simple) recitation.

Appearing in the first of two shows at the Yerba Buena Center for the
Arts Theater, Galas used these techniques as she always has, to craft
a dark and theatrically potent howl of defiance and despair. Her work
is not for the faint of heart.

But it’s not necessarily for the uninitiated, either. Galas has a
tried-and-true cohort of devotees happy to applaud her every
undertaking. And "Defixiones," for all its raw urgency, has a
somewhat hermetic air of ritual that suggests she is playing
increasingly to the fan base.

Though it’s been in the works for at least seven years, the piece has
a certain odd timeliness. It comes on the heels of the politically
charged decision to award the Nobel Prize for literature to Turkish
novelist Orhan Pamuk, as well as France’s passage of a law making it
a crime to deny the Armenian genocide.

But Galas seems reluctant to open her work rhetorically to the point
where specific content could register with an audience. In
"Defixiones" (the title refers to warnings printed on gravestones
against moving the remains of the dead), there are texts in Armenian,
Greek, Assyrian and Turkish as well as English.

Listeners not conversant in those tongues can read the translations
ahead of time (once the show begins, sepulchral darkness prevails).
But in performance, it’s hard to interpret the show as anything more
concrete than an extended requiem for the unknown dead.

This issue of textual transparency has not always interfered with the
impact of Galas’ artistry. In her earlier works — particularly the
extravagantly showy pieces of the early ’80s such as "Wild Women With
Steak Knives" and the extraordinary "Panoptikon," or the AIDS "Plague
Mass" that consumed her through the rest of that decade — Galas
often mingled multilingual texts with abandon. The poetry of
Baudelaire rubbed elbows with the Bible and the blues.

But in those pieces, poetic texts were used as fodder for musical and
vocal pyrotechnics. What mattered was not the exact words, but the
electrifying, almost physically present dance of sounds that Galas
crafted out of them.

In "Defixiones," by contrast, the untranslated texts — poems, oral
testimony, news reports, Turkish propaganda — are right at the
forefront. Galas sings or declaims them with exemplary diction, as
though the audience needed to catch every word. The thought of
supertitles has never seemed so alluring.

In the absence of any concrete sense, the audience is left simply to
marvel at the unstoppable force and virtuosity of Galas’ own
exertions.

There are bursts of extended vocalism — gibbering, screeching,
caterwauling — that recall her early works. There are swooping
melismas done in pure operatic style and the raspy whisper that seems
to come from beyond the grave.

At a few junctures, Galas relocates to the grand piano to accompany
herself on bluesy numbers or let loose with a few Lisztian keyboard
runs. She recites one poem while stamping rhythmically in a sort of
flamenco of death; she ends the evening kneeling, as if in
supplication.

It’s all undeniably gripping, in a Grand Guignol sort of way. All it
needs is for Galas to deign to let the audience in.

Diamanda Galas: "Defixiones: Orders From the Dead" repeats at 8 p.m.
today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, 700 Howard St.
Tickets: $19-$35. Call (415) 978-2787 or go to

NEARLY 80 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS URGE U.S. PRESIDENT TO EXPAND RELATIONS

Azat Artsakh, Republic of Nagorno Karabakh [NKR]
Oct 17 2006

Washington, DC – To mark the 15th Anniversary of Artsakh’s Independence,
Members of Congress joined the Co-Chairs of the Congressional Caucus on
Armenian Issues, Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) and Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), in sending a
letter to President Bush urging him "to recognize the 15th anniversary of the
independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic [Artsakh]" and calling the
President’s attention to Artsakh’s "efforts in furthering their democracy and
creating an independent state." Nagorno Karabakh’s decision to establish a
sovereign state came as a continuation of the national liberation movement that
began immediately after Joseph Stalin awarded administrative control over
Karabakh to Soviet Azerbaijan in 1921. After suffering from over 70 years of
discrimination and oppression by Azerbaijan and the Soviet regime, the people
of Artsakh stepped up their struggle for freedom and democracy by establishing
the independent Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh. The congressional
letter, signed by 77 members and sent to the White House on September 29,
highlights a long history of U.S support to Nagorno Karabakh and the will of the
people of Artsakh to build a democratic and economically viable country. The
letter also notes the continuation of Azerbaijan’s destructive policy, which
threatens peace and stability in the region and "goes against U.S. interests."
Most importantly, the congressional letter advocates for expansion of U.S.
political and economic engagement with Nagorno Karabakh. The letter said in part:
"As we work towards peace, the United States can and must expand its
engagement with the lawfully and democratically established Nagorno Karabakh
Republic. These ties should not be dictated by outside forces but rather should be
guided by the shared values of our two nations. […] We should build on this
success by investing in developmental and good governance programs that will
strengthen Nagorno-Karabakh’s economy, democratic institutions, and promote even
greater cooperation on a range of regional and security issues." Despite the
overwhelming challenges of the past 15 years, Artsakh has registered
impressive achievements: successful defense of its freedom against Azerbaijani
military aggression, nearly complete restoration of its war-devastated economy,
continued strengthening of its democracy, unprecedented economic growth and
constructive partnership with the international community to bring about lasting
peace and stability to the South Caucasus. "Everyday, we are advancing in
building a country of our dreams – a free, democratic and prosperous Artsakh.
Fifteen years of independent statehood have proved the righteousness of the
historic path chosen on September 2, 1991. Throughout these years, the people
of Artsakh have been truly blessed to enjoy the political and economic support
of the U.S. Congress. We are deeply thankful to the American people for
their generous economic assistance that helped restore dozens of war-torn
villages, drinking water supplies and medical facilities," said NKR Representative
in the United States Vardan Barseghian. Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI), who
co-chairs the Armenian Caucus, said: "The United States stands for freedom and
democracy, values that have vividly triumphed in Nagorno Karabakh, Artsakh,
without any international support. I am proud to support this nation as it works
to achieve formal international recognition of its well-deserved
independence. The U.S. economic assistance to Nagorno Karabakh should be continued."
"Time and again, the people of Nagorno Karabakh have demonstrated their firm
commitment to values of liberty and peace. They have also worked hard to
establish a developing democracy and growing market economy. The United States should
expand its political and economic engagement with the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic," echoed fellow Armenian Caucus Co-chair Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ).
Congressmen Knollenberg and Pallone also thanked their colleagues, the
co-signers of this congressional letter to President Bush, for supporting this
critical initiative. "In its quest for freedom and its efforts to strengthen its
democracy and develop its economy, Nagorno Karabakh enjoys a broad-based
congressional support. Our collective aim was to convey this message to President
Bush as the Nagorno Karabakh Republic celebrates the 15th Anniversary of
Independence," the congressmen said. This congressional effort enjoyed strong
support of the two Armenian-American advocacy groups in Washington, DC. "The
Armenian Assembly commends Congressmen Knollenberg and Pallone for their
initiative and leadership in urging the U.S. to strengthen relations with Karabakh
as it celebrates 15 years of independence," said Assembly Executive Director
Bryan Ardouny. "As we mark this special occasion, we are reminded of the
accomplishments the people of Karabakh have already achieved. The Assembly will
continue to work with its friends in Congress and the Administration to
advocate for Karabakh’s right to self-determination." "We want to thank
Congressmen Knollenberg and Pallone and all those who joined with the Armenian Caucus
in marking this milestone of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic’s continued
contribution to the growth of democracy, economic development, and the prospects for
an equitable and lasting peace in the Caucasus," said ANCA Executive
Director Aram Hamparian. On behalf of the NKR Government, Barseghian thanked the
Armenian Assembly of America and the Armenian National Committee of America for
their effective work on Capitol Hill. "We are also grateful to our
congressional friends for their continued support of Nagorno Karabakh on our path
towards freedom, democracy and prosperity — universal values that have been
guiding Artsakh since independence," said Representative Barseghian. The Office of
the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the United States is based in Washington,
DC and works with the U.S. government, academia and the public representing
the official policies and interests of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. September
29, 2006 The Honorable George W. Bush President of the United States The
White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President:
We write to recognize the 15th anniversary of the independence of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and to call your attention to their ongoing efforts in
furthering their democracy and creating an independent state. The United States
has a long history of supporting Nagorno-Karabakh’s democracy and its right
to live in freedom and peace. Since 1992, our government has taken part in
international efforts to reach a sustainable resolution to the conflict between
Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan. A durable cease-fire has been in place since
1994, bringing relative stability to the region. However, a comprehensive
peace agreement has not been reached and the continued standoff could lead to
yet another cycle of violence. The democratically elected leaders of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic have repeatedly offered to implement mutual
confidence-building measures, for which the U.S. government has continued to allocate
funding. These leaders have consistently demonstrated a willingness to make
difficult compromises in the interest of a lasting peace. However, in contrast,
Azerbaijan has rejected confidence-building measures and demonstrated a
consistent pattern of inflexibility in the negotiating process. To further
destabilize the region, Azerbaijan continues to maintain a blockade of both
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia and regularly threatens a new wave of violence against
Nagorno-Karabakh. We have every reason to believe this threat is realistic
given their rapidly increasing military budget. An arms race or new violence in
the South Caucasus region goes specifically against U.S. interests in the
region. The key to preventing this outcome is for the United States to send a
clear message to Azerbaijan that we will not tolerate renewed aggression against
Nagorno-Karabakh. Earlier this year, we were pleased with Assistant
Secretary of State Dan Fried’s statement that, "the will of the people of
Nagorno-Karabakh has to be respected." We wholeheartedly share this view and hope that
you will build upon this constructive approach to a long-term settlement. Our
interest is in working, in a manner consistent with fundamental democratic
principle, to bring a durable resolution, acceptable to all parties, to the
region. As the world’s greatest force for freedom, we should always champion
values of liberty, democracy, and peace. As we work towards peace, the United
States can and must expand its engagement with the lawfully and democratically
established Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. These ties should not be dictated by
outside forces but rather should be guided by the shared values of our two
nations. Our decision in 1988 to aid Nagorno-Karabakh has become one of the
most effective assistance efforts anywhere in the world, providing thousands of
people with housing, water, and healthcare needs. We should build on this
success by investing in developmental and good governance programs that will
strengthen Nagorno-Karabakh’s economy, democratic institutions, and promote even
greater cooperation on a range of regional and security issues. Mr.
President, as we mark the 15th anniversary of independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, we
urge you to join with us in celebrating this nation’s courageous choice for
freedom, its strong commitment to democratic values, and its sincere desire to
work toward lasting peace. We appreciate your consideration of our concerns.
