EVERY THIRD PERSON IS VIRUS CARRIER

Everyone down with tuberculosis annually contaminates 10-15
people. Numerous people suffer from tuberculosis in Armenia today
but they avoid undergoing a course of treatment and simply suffice
with in-home treatment.

Hundreds of people have died of tuberculosis over the last years. The
number of virus carriers in Armenia was 6445 (167 deaths) in 2005,
5673 (153 deaths) in 2006 and 3867 (175 deaths) in 2007.

"Pharmacists are forbidden to give instructions or prescribe medicine
to carriers of the TB bacteria as it can have dramatic circumstances"
Spokesman for the RoA Ministry of Healthcare Ruslanna Gevorgyan said
during a December 13-14 seminar in Tsakhkadzor.

"After using medicine for a month or two a patient thinks he is
getting better. In fact, they need long-lasting and serious treatment.

The Ministry of Healthcare, the Armenian Office for the fight against
tuberculosis and "Healthy and Harmonious Family" NGO organised a
seminar for journalists on December 13-14 to raise public awareness
of TB.

Over one third of the world population is virus-positive persons. The
illness shows up when the person’s immune system is upset. People
mostly get infected through droplets. That’s why virus carrier are
usually isolated and given free in-patient treatment in Armenia.

The fight against TB is realised within the framework of DOTS policy
which aims to detect and treat tuberculosis carriers. This is not
an easy task. In Armenia tuberculosis is mostly spread in the army
and prisons.

Infected servicemen are immediately discharged from military service,
and prisoners undergo treatment in a special hospital in Yerevan.

All organisations fighting against tuberculosis unanimously noted that
the best way to resist the illness is to go to a doctor in time. The
more patients are isolated and treated, the healthier the society
will be.

HAKOBYAN BECAME WORLD CUP HOLDER

[01:45 pm] 15 December, 2008

Armenian boxer Andranik Hakobyan (75 kg) won the World Cup
after winning over his Venezuelan contender Alfonso Blanco in
Moscow. Andranik’s victory was notable as Armenia hadn’t had world
cup holders for 14 years. Nshan Munchyan was the last to win the
world title in the ring in 1994.

Misha Apoyan (Russia) won the world title in the 51 kg weight category
beating Cuban Lafita Ernandes.

Only Armenia, Philippines, Russia and Cuba had winners in eleven
weight categories.

Note that successful sportsmen of different international tournaments
participate in the world cup competitions.

COMMITTEE URGES HATSPANYAN TO STOP HUNGER-STRIKE

[03:21 pm] 15 December, 2008

The committee for the protection of Armenian political prisoners urged
political prisoner Sargis Hatspanyan to stop hunger-strike staged since
December 1. "Termless hunger-strike is the extreme and desperate form
of protest one resorts to in case he loses the faith in a successful
outcome of the struggle. We have no doubt and we are convinced that
you share our opinion that our struggle will end in victory. We need
not only devotees like you but also healthy and viable brothers-in-arms
to crown our victory," runs the Committee’s the appeal.

THE REVOLUTIONARIES BROUGHT `ZARYA’ FROM GEORGIA

Hayots Ashkharh Daily

Armenia

According to the ex Commander of the police internal troops Grigor
Grigoryan, the police troops received only 10 `Zarya’ special means,
from which only 4 have been used for the March 1 developments. This
fact has already been recorded.

But around 20 `Zarya’ special means have been used during the collapse,
which presumes that the demonstrators have also used this special
means. The latter is confirmed by the operative information received
before, according to which the radicals have imported special armaments
from Georgia.

THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE AND TURKEY

INTERVIEW WITH ARA SARAFIAN IN NOUVELLES D’ARMENIE
(The French translation of original interview below appeared in Sept. 2008
edition of Nouvelles d’Armenie)

Q: On April 24th 2008 you went to Istanbul to participate in a
conference on the genocide of Armenians. Was this the first time you
participated in this kind of meeting in Turkey with Turkish
historians?

A: The April 24th meeting was a commemorative event organized by the
Istanbul branch of the Turkish Human Rights’ association. This was not
the first time I have worked with the Turkish Human Rights
Association.

Q: The Turkish speakers who participated in this meeting organized by
the Human Rights Association in Turkey were, it seem, honest
researchers. But that still was not the case. What is the utility of
participating in meetings alongside notorious deniers such as Justin
McCarthy.

A: There were no deniers on the panel. All were outspoken proponents
for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the democratization of
Turkey, and upholding the human rights of all social groups in
Turkey. None of the speakers shirked from talking about the Armenian
Genocide in explicit terms. The speakers included Eren Keskin and
Ragip Zarakoglu, who have over a dozen court cases against them
because of their opinions.

Q: Do you believe that it is worth speaking with deniers?

A: As a historian I have to look at what deniers say and sometimes I
have to address what they say as part of my work. Denialist
historiography has currency in Turkey and it has some impact in the
English speaking world. So I do not ignore it as a matter of
course. For example, I worked on Ottoman archives regarding the
Armenian issue in the 1990s. I found that these archives did not
support the Turkish thesis on the Genocide, but supported the
consensus that the events of 1915 constituted genocide.

I published my findings in Armenian Forum, and my findings have been
used by others. Now Taner Akçam has even produced a book on the same
materials. Last year I challenged Turkish historians (deniers) to
undertake a case study on the Harput plain, where they would produce
details of deportations from the Harput plain and state where the
deportees were resettled according to the Ottoman deportation decrees
and regulations (cited by Turkish historians at face value). Yusuf
Halacoglu, having accepted to undertake the case study, stated that
the records in question did not exist. Dr. Halacoglu never explained
why the records did not exist, though people can draw their own
conclusions: his disclosure had an immediate impact in Turkey as
people asked why such Ottoman records did not exist (or remain
inaccessible) if the deportations were supposed to be an orderly
event.

Similarly, when Turkish historians and parliamentarians denied the
integrity of the 1916 British parliamentary blue book, I decided to
respond to their position with a critical edition of the blue book,
where the denial of the Armenian Genocide was the main focus. I
decided to engage them on this occasion because of the prominence of
the deniers (practically the whole Turkish political establishment)
and because all of the relevant materials on the blue book were in
western archives and could not be manipulated.

So, the answer to your question is that I do engage deniers of the
Armenian Genocide as part of my work.

Q: What about Turkish research on the issue of the genocide? Is there
any evolution about it, a change on the approach and the conclusions?
What are today the various kinds of Turkish historians?

A: Turkey today is a more open society and there is a lot more
critical interest in the events if 1915. Some historians there are
also doing worthwhile, even groundbreaking, work related to the
Genocide. At the same time, there is more pressure on professional
deniers to make a better case for the Turkish nationalist
position. While the starting point of professional deniers is the
same, some argue the same nationalist themes in a more slick manner,
while others try to make the Turkish position stronger by making some
concessions (eg. `During the deportations of 1915 there were some
massacres but it was not genocide.’) Such concessions are forced, but
they are significant.

Q: What about the Armenian position on the Genocide?

A: I personally think that there is a need to always appraise and
reappraise the so-called `Armenian position.’ The current Armenian
position is somewhat reactionary and shaped by the denial issue, with
a fixation to "prove" the genocide over and over again. Lobbyists have
made the situation much more rigid. However, as historians and
intellectuals we have to maintain a critical perspective and keep
asking the hard questions, many of which have been elided. Our
conviction as academics has to be based on research and open debate
and not the manipulation or restriction of research agendas. For
example, we have to explain why over 100,000 Armenians were sent to
western Syria and not massacred; why there were no more major
massacres in Der Zor after 1916; why were some people not killed in
exile, such as Aram Andonian or Yervant Odian? Is it possible that the
CUP was not as powerful and omnipresent as sometimes thought? Is it
possible that there was more opposition to the CUP than previously
thought or admitted? Is it possible that even Jemal Pasha did not
share the anti-Armenian zeal of Talaat Pasha or Behaeddin Shakir?

Q: Do you feel an evolution amongst Turkish people regarding the
Armenian Genocide?

A: Yes, it is possible to talk about the Armenian issue in Turkey
today, and there is a lot more sympathy for Armenians. Even if the
word "genocide" is not used, there is a recognition that Armenians
were cleansed from their ancestral homelands in Turkey today. I would
even say that deniers, that is those people who only castigate
Armenians, are a minority in Turkey. That is why much of the
denialist efforts today are geared towards Turkish audiences, and that
is why Armenians would do well in addressing Turkish audiences in a
more sympathetic manner – unless their only objective is to hurt
Turks, which I find is the case in some quarters.

Q: Are the Turkish archives open to all researchers including
Armenian?

A: Turkish archives are open and present interesting records. However,
they are compromised and need to be evaluated in an appropriate
professional manner. Where there are difficulties, they need to be
addressed, also in an appropriate manner.

I worked in such archives in the 1990s, I had some difficulties in
gaining access to the catalogued materials, then I was banned for
several years, and I was recently told that I was readmitted and
should not have any problems.

Some of the rules to gain access need to be changed, such as
restrictions of the number of documents one can examine. Sometimes
these documents only contain a few lines and should be given out in
batches rather than sheets (eg in the case of telegrams). However,
such problems can be solved over time. Right now the main restrictions
to the use of Ottoman records are appropriate training and
funding. After the early 1990s I was practically bankrupted and could
not continue with my work in Turkey. I hope future historians will not
face the same problems.

Q: Do you feel that these archives were falsified?

A: I have no evidence that the records in these archives were
falsified, and I have not heard anyone else make the same
claim. However, the available records are not complete and we need to
investigate why this is the case. [Perhaps an example would be the
deportation and resettlement records Yusuf Halaçoglu stated did not
exist around Harput and elsewhere].

Q: Are there still any documents in these archives which attest the
existence of the Armenian Genocide?

A: In my opinion, the answer is yes, especially in conjunction with
other records.

The Ottoman records show that the central authorities, and Talaat
Pasha personally, had complete control over the deportation
process. They issued orders and supervised the implementation of these
orders on a daily basis through the telegraph. The state had both
custody and control over the lives of hundreds of thousands of
people. However, the available Ottoman records do not account for what
ultimately happened to these deported people.

That is why the voices of survivors, as well as western archives, are
so important.

Q: Turkish officials, based on these archives, deny the genocide and
defend the thesis of the deportation, without criminal
intention. Erdogan had stated, that the Ottoman officials in 1915 gave
money to the Armenian people during the deportation. What can we think
about it?

A: It is up to us to argue well against deniers. For example, if Prime
Minister Erdogan has mentioned that Armenian deportees were given
pocket money in 1915, we could tell him that such state support was
rarely given to deportees and often Armenian recipients were
subsequently killed. A concrete example to make such a case would be
the fate of the 24 April 1915 deportees from Constantinople. We know
from Armenian sources that they were given a sum by the authorities
and most of these deportees were subsequently killed. So, Erdogan’s
statement can be used as an occasion to engage him in a critical
manner, to set the agenda, perhaps by pointing out that Turkish
official historians have never stated what happened to the April 24th
deportees. Why not? If they are not able to account for the fate of
these people, or to substantiate the charges against them, then what
can we say about the Turkish nationalist thesis and its sources? To
stress once again, it is up to us to engage the issues that arise in a
meaningful manner.

Q: Are Armenian archives open to all researchers, including the Turks?

A: I can not answer that question in a definitive manner, though I
know that some "Armenian archives" in the diaspora are not open to
researchers for a variety of reasons. The most important ones are the
Jerusalem Patriarchate archives. I have tried to access them twice and
turned away. The other archives are the Zoryan Institute archives,
composed of the private papers of Armenian survivors, whose families
deposited their records with the Zoryan Institute in the 1980s. A far
as I know, these materials are still not catalogued and accessible to
scholars. I understand that the ARF archives in Boston have been
catalogued up to 1925, while the AGBU Nubarian Library archives in
Paris have been open for at least a decade.

Q: Do we still have anything to prove on the reality of the Armenian
Genocide?

A: The fact of the Armenian Genocide is a given. There are no more
Armenians left to speak of in modern Turkey, where most Armenians
lived before WWI. They were forced out with much bloodletting and
never allowed to return. Their properties were confiscated by the
Ottoman state in 1915, and the record of Armenians in Turkey was
erased over the past 90 years.

However, historically there is still a lot we can learn about the
events of 1915, and there is a lot more that can be said about the
Armenian Genocide conceptually, in terms of the contemporary context
of the diaspora, Armenia, Turkey and even further afield.

Q: What kind of department of research the Armenians should
concentrate their studies to stop denial effectively?

A: As a historian, I would still stress the importance to study the
Armenian Genocide in all of its details and complexities, the way Jews
have studied the Holocaust. It is important that Armenian themselves
are in a position to represent themselves.

However, the denial of the Armenian Genocide is a political exercise,
rooted in an authoritarian Turkish state. The democratization of
Turkey today is thus an essential element in countering the denial of
the Armenian Genocide, by allowing both Turks and Armenians to examine
the past in a critical manner. Most Turks will probably be open to a
critical examination of the past, including the fact and the denial of
the Armenian Genocide over the past decades.

But I should say that there is an ethical dimension to resolving the
issue. My fear is that we might be entering into a new phase of
treating the Genocide as an ideological instrument – whether it is to
render the recognition of the Genocide a meaningless gesture, or to
seek to dispossess Turkish peasants from their lands in eastern
Turkey.

Q: What do you think about the Erdogan proposition to create a mixed
Turkish Armenian historian commission regarding the events of 1915?
And what is your reaction, after Sarkissian’s recent answer, which is
strongly different from Kotcharian’s position?

A: My understanding is that Kotcharyan’s position was that we already
know what happened in 1915, and such issues should be discussed in a
broader manner, with open borders and diplomatic relations between
Turkey and Armenia.

Sarkissyan has said much the same thing, but he seems to have accepted
in principle that a mixed commission from Turkey and Armenia could
look at the events of 1915.

I think both Kotcharyan’s and Sarkissyan’s answers have merit (and
pitfalls ahead of them). The current Sarkissyan position is a higher
risk strategy that could open new doors and yield dividends. However,
Sarkissyan should have a more explicit offer of what would constitute
a meaningful mixed commission in terms of approach, scope, access,
material resources and work schedule. Perhaps Sarkissyan should ask
for specific materials to be produced, such as Ottoman deportation and
resettlement records, or the indictment records for the 1919
trials. If the offer is a reasonable one, Erdogan may have to accept
it, and let Turkish nationalists fight their own corner.

Armenian opposition hardliner may again wind up security service after
completing prison term

Vartan Malkhasyan, a prominent Armenian nationalist activist, vowed to
continue to fight for regime change in Armenia as he walked free last
week after serving a two-year prison sentence resulting from the
controversial coup charges brought against him by the Armenia’s
National Security Service.

Armenian Service of the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL),
reporting on Malkhasyan’s release, notes that he and another prominent
veteran of the war in Upper Karabakh, Zhirayr Sefilyan, were arrested
in December 2006 just days after holding the founding congress of
their Alliance of Armenian Volunteers (HKH), a pressure strongly
opposed to any territorial concessions to Azerbaijan. Armenia’s
National Security Service claimed they planned to mount an armed
uprising against the government ahead of the May 2007 parliamentary
elections while both men denied the charges as politically motivated.

Both Malkhasyan and Sefilyan have supported former President Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s bid to return to power despite his well-known advocacy
of a compromise solution to the Karabakh conflict. Also last week,
Sefilyan joined several hundred people in marching to the
Prosecutor-General’s Office in Yerevan to demand the release of some
70 Ter-Petrosyan supporters arrested by the security forces in the
wake of the February presidential election, RFE/RL notes.

Innocent conversations with God

by DOGU ERGIL

I came across the memoirs of an elementary school teacher who had
saved the class assignments of her 9 and 10-year-old students. The
subject matter of the assignment was to write a short letter to God to
see how they could handle abstract issues. The assays are so
spontaneous and innocent that one regrets how we have lost that purity
of heart and mind together with the ability of direct communication
with the Sublime.
Considering how many intermediaries have appeared in our direct
contact with God and how beliefs have been contaminated with
ideologies of mundane character shaped by greed, I thought it would be
nice to remember how genuine we once were and how independent and free
our minds and hearts were.

With this we may be able to answer the ontological question Rachel
Dink, the wife of slain Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, asked
in her eulogy to her dear husband and exemplary citizen of Turkey:
"How in the world have we turned innocent babies into murderers, my
brothers and sisters?"

Here are some of the children’s letters addressed to God:

Dear God,

I never thought orange and purple would go together so well. But after
seeing what You did at sunset on Tuesday, I changed my mind. It was
awesome!

Dear God,

You kill people and create others in their place. Wouldn’t it be
easier to keep the ones You have already created?

Dear God,

Cain would not have killed Abel if they had separate rooms of their
own. My mother did just that for me and my brother.

Dear God,

If You watch over me on Sunday, I will show You my new shoes.

Dear God,

It must be hard to love everyone on earth. We are four in the family
and I find it difficult to love every one of them.

Dear God,

Yesterday, our teacher told us what You do. Who does all that when You
are on vacation?

Dear God,

Do You really watch over all of us or are You pretending?

Dear God,

If dad speaks rude at home, would You not let him into Paradise?

Dear God,

Did You really create the giraffe that way or was it an accident?

Dear God,

Who is marking the boundaries around countries?

Dear God,

Did You really say, "Treat others the way you want them to treat you?"
If so, I will treat my sister better from now on.

Dear God,

I thank You for the baby brother You sent me. But there must be a
mistake because I prayed for a baby dog.

Dear God,

Can You send me a pony? I have never asked anything from You
before. Please check if You like.

Dear God,

I really want to grow up to be just like my father but without the
hair he has all over his body.

Dear God,

I liked Noah and David best among those who have served You.

Dear God,

One of our teachers said Edison invented electricity. Yet another said
that it was You. I am certain that Edison stole it from You.

Dear God,

Don’t You worry about me. I look first to the right and later to the
left before crossing the street.

Dear God,

I sometimes think of You even when I do not pray.

I wish we were as sincere and honest as children in our dealings with
God and with humankind, which is said to have been created in the
image of the Creator, and did not pretend that we love them both more
than ourselves. There is a lot to learn from our children.

US Iraq Invasion´s Only Success: Extermination of Aramaean
Oriental Christianity

Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis
December 14, 2008

While many other negative aspects of the US-led invasion of Iraq can
be extensively discussed, what matters for Americans, Europeans,
Russians, Latin Americans, and Christians worldwide is this:

Irrespective of the reasons, the pretexts, the motives, and the
methods involved in the operation of dethroning the Baath regime, the
existence of a deviate plan (or the lack of any) for the colonial
territory´s re-organization ended up in a terrible disaster for
Oriental Christianity ` a historically significant component of the
Islamic Middle East.

One can ponder whether it is due to ignorance, incapacity and
indifference or because of Western Christianity´s deep-seated
rancor and hatred against the various denominations of Oriental
Christianity, but the reality is there, and the figures are very
clear: the outright majority of the Iraqi Christians, who are ethnic
Aramaeans, have left abroad in order to escape the massacre that the
Satanic administrations of pseudo-Christian Western countries
mercilessly planned and delivered to them.

In this case, the complicity is evident between Al Qaeda,
pseudo-Kurdish terrorists Talabani and Barzani, the Assyrianist
Aramaean group of renegades, and the evil US administration ` that
criminally pretends to be Christian whereas it represents, along with
Freemasonic corrupt regimes of colonial England and France, the focus
of Anti-Christian Evil.

The evacuation of the Aramaean Christians from Iraq represents only
one bullet in the colonial agenda that will be completed with

1) the war against Iran, and the ensuing chaos,

2) the diffusion of social unrest in Eastern Turkey,

3) the inception of a pseudo-Kurdish state, its precipitated Islamic
radicalization, and further wars with its neighbors,

4) the formation of a pseudo-Islamic regime of besotted fanatic and
extremist pseudo-Muslims,

5) the Islamic revolution in Europe, its devastating impact, and the
rise of a European tyranny incommensurably more inhuman that Nazi
Germany, and

6) the subsequent clash between the tyrannical Europe and extremist
Middle East in a face-off in which each part will describe the other
as the ´State of the Antichrist´.

An insightful into what happens nowadays in Iraq ` which is being kept
secret from Western Christians readerships because of the evil
Freemasonic journalism implemented by the totally anti-democratic and
controlled western mass media ` is given in the following feature
published a few days ago in the great Aramaean portals Aram Nahrin and
Iraqi Christians.

In it the evil role played by the Evangelical ministers of
Anti-Christian hatred and Anti-Aramaean racism is plainly revealed and
thoroughly denounced. I therefore re-publish it integrally.

The hateful and malicious (spiritual) terror campaign of the
Evangelical Broadcasting Channel against the Christian Aramean nation
continues undiminished.

The merciless Jesus of the West uses the apostate Arameans who call
themselves "Assyrians" to extra-terrorize and taunt the persecuted,
mutilated and humiliated Aramean people.

Professor Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis says, "Obliterating
¦¦¦ one nation´s identity is a most criminal
deed¦..". And the Evangelical Broadcasting channel is working very
hard, since a long time, to achieve this unholy goal. They are working
intensively with the pseudo- Assyrians who are engaged in terrorism –
the ultimate product of the Western spiritual colonial activities in
the Middle-East in the 16th and 19th centuries.

On 15-4-2008 a coverage was broadcasted on the Aramean Christians in
Iraq by the Evangelical Broadcasting Channel (EBC) in which falsely,
willful and criminally our nation was presented as "Assyrians". This
is not the first hateful, implacable and odious attempt by the
Evangelical Broadcasting Channel in Holland to falsify the origin of
our people in the name of the criminal and carnivorous Jesus of the
West. This fake "Christians" seems so wicked, so thoroughly socked
with hatred and so eager to continue with the immoral colonial
intrigues of their forefather, that they seize every opportunity with
both hands to spit at the face of the Aramean nation; truly we are
dealing here with a genocide unfolding in front of our eyes. As a
human rights organization we consider this malicious act of
Evangelical Broadcasting Channel as:

Hateful

Because: this is the such-and-such cowardice and cunning attempt being
undertaken to falsely present our people in Holland as "Assyrians", in
the name of "Jesus" of the West- who definitely is not the Jesus
Christ of the Bible. They work together with wicked people who are
involved in terrorism as agreed between the terrorist organizations
PKK and ADO.

Malicious

This is not the first time that some criminal racists within the
Evangelical broadcasting channel wilfully try to distort the origin of
the Aramean people by presenting them as "Assyrians" in spite of the
letter we sent together with our bishops to the government of Iraq not
to be identified as such.

Hypocritical and rotten

Because: they do everything to depict Islamists as barbaric and
dehumanized, but neglect the fact that their forefathers carried out
atrocities in the name of "Jesus" ` this of course should not be
confused with the Jesus Christ of the Bible ` against the Aramean
nation and they continue to do so. To present themselves as
"civilized" and "sympathizers", they utterly crack down the Islamists
and Islam. So evil, sneaky and dirty they are. All these unholy acts
being carried in the name of "Jesus".

Racist

The emotions are being manipulated in a dirty and ugly way and the
sufferings of one group neglected while others being brought into the
prominence. The viewer is falsely and deliberately being informed as
though only Christians suffer in Iraq, while also hundreds of
thousands Muslims, Yazidis and others are being killed, Mosques and
other holy places of prayer being destroyed in mutual struggle between
Sunnis and Shiites. In 2007, 175 Yazidis of the mountains of Shingal
were killed by a care bomb attack. By some of the victims body parts
were missing; others were literal immersed in their blood, many of
them were wearing white clothes, which completely were painted red in
their blood. Well then, don´t all these terrible events
deserver to be mentioned as well?

Immoral, criminal and objectionable

Because: according what we know, they willingly made themselves the
doormat of Madam Tunc, who according to our information has been
involved with recruitment of youngster for the PKK at various
occasions under the cover of "cultural" and "social"
manifestations. In Iraq there are no more than 10.000 East-Aramean
Nestorians who eventually might call themselves "Assyrians". The vast
majority of Aramean Christians do not want to be identified with this
fake immoral Western spiritual colonial name which has destroyed our
nation. The Evangelical Broadcasting channel purposefully continues to
maintain and develop the spiritual colonialism of their forefathers
with devastating consequences for our nation.

Low and below all the human standards and values

Because: To our view only a beast and a completely dehumanized person
is able to justify and glorify such destructive crimes of history
falsification.

The EBC presents itself as though they testify of Jesus Christ of the
Bible. The word "Evangelism" implies that they want to spread the good
news to the world, in this case to the Netherlands, to enlighten
them. From this follows that those working with EBC, one may assume,
are people who adheres to the goods news, thus follow Jesus Christ.

Of course one cannot generalize this and say that everybody within the
EBC have evil intentions; that would be wrong. On the contrary, there
are pious and honest people within EBC who sincerely work for the
goals the EBC stands for. Our criticism is only aimed at some immoral
and hateful racists, having powerful media positions within ECB, who
since a long time are waging a satanic spiritual war against the
Aramean nation by presenting them as "Assyrians"- a genocidal and a
unholy product of the colonial spiritual activities of the criminal
Jesus of the West who brought about havoc in the Middle-East and have
besmirched the name of Jesus Christ of the Bible by planting hatred
and division within the Aramean nation. And the two "Christian"
broadcasting channels ECB and NCRV continue with their satanic
atrocities against our nation as if though their forefathers have a
done a good and holy job.

On the other hand, the noble forces within ECB should once make their
voice heard against these filthy, racists and wicked people within
ECB. Otherwise they are accessory to their satanic atrocities against
the Aramean nation.

These wicked forces within ECB started knowingly and brutally since
2000 via diverse broadcastings to present our nation in the
Netherlands as "Assyrians"- an objectionable and an immoral invention
of their forefathers which has led to hatred, division and
extermination of the Aramean nation.

For this reason we are convinced that the Good News the ECB claim to
preach has nothing to do with the Jesus Christ of the Bible, but is a
continuation of the unholy and evil deeds of the Jesus of the West who
has divided the Aramean nation by the invention of the fake
identification "Assyrians" (product of Anglican mission together with
England) and "Chaldeans" (product of Catholic mission together with
French). Please also read in this regard our article "Following the
American "Christians", now the Dutch Christians: Spiritual Crusades
against the Aramean nation"

( rusade_Against_Aramean_Christians.htm)

For this reason, we believe the sincerity some people within ECB claim
to stand for is fake and is a horrible, evil spiritual terror against
not only the Aramean nation, but also against others. As previously
mentioned, for years they are active in the name of Jesus Christ of
the Bible to distort the history of the Aramean people by presenting
them as "Assyrians"- an unholy product invented by their
forefathers. This is nothing but a criminal spiritual genocide.

They are so de-humanized, wicked and evil that they do not feel bound
by any rules or morality, they continue unhindered with their terror
against our nation in the name of "Jesus".

Jesus Christ of the Bible and Jesus of the West

We cannot underscore enough to make clear that it is very important to
understand that: The criminal and hate-generating Jesus of the West is
definitely not the same as the true Jesus Christ of the Bible who is
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and revealed Himself to the world
in human body.

It was the criminal Jesus of the West who:

1) initiated crusades in the Middle-East,

2) has incited nations against each other,

3) divided and exterminated many nations,

4) is responsible for the worldwide problems and, last but not least

5) is responsible for the horrible bloodbaths in Iraq.

It was the same criminal Jesus of the West who initiated the genocide
of the Arameans, Greeks and Armenians. In this way, the Jesus of the
West has knocked off the Jesus Christ of the Bible of His Pedestal
resulting in the decline of the true Christianity in the Western
world. The true Christians are now a very small minority, while the
satanic fake Christians form the overwhelming majority.

To understand the difference between Jesus Christ of the Bible and
Jesus of the West, it is revealing to watch a video by Kevin
Annet. Annet is a courageous Christian preacher in Canada who tries to
unmask the horrible face of Jesus of the West. The coverage deals with
killings, sterilisation and medical experiments on the Aboriginals of
Canada. Please watch the video very careful and shudder about the
atrocities committed in the name of "Jesus" and how they are doing
everything to cover up.

Broadcast of Current Affairs Programme ´Het Netwerk´:
15-4-2008 by presenter Tijs van den Brink.

On Tuesday 15-4-2008 at 20:30 h the current affairs programme
´Het Netwerk´ was broadcasted by the Evangelical
Broadcasting Channel. The presenter was Tijs van den Brink. Mr. Van
den Brink became known to us as a wicked, senseless and a de-humanized
racist who is utterly misusing his position to terrorize the Aramean
nation, something which he also has done in the past.

Background information: What is all about?

Before continuing with our analyse, it is useful to provide the reader
with some background information.

It is important to know that Madam Tunc has made some racists of the
Evangelical Broadcasting Channel her doormat to advertise the criminal
colonial Western spiritual product "Assyrians". Madam Tunc is doing
her best to accomplish the covenant between the PKK and GHB
( lliance_PKK_ADO_24_4_1993.htm). In
fact she is following the script laid down by the terrorist
organisations ADO and PKK.

It is known since long time that some wicked and nefarious racists
within EBC have made a covenant with madam and her family to distort
the history of the Aramean indigenous nation, following the agreement
made between ADO and PKK.

Madam Tunc is an apostate Aramean who seizes every opportunity with
both hands to distort the history of our nation by representing them
by the satanic criminal name "Assyrians". She is a colonial
product/victim of the immoral Western colonial perversity in the
Middle-East and is being used by her "Christian" Western masters to
taunt our nation. Madam is being glorified, promoted and used by the
descendants of the wrongdoers of yesteryear, in this case the racists
of the EBC to torment and terrorize our nation.

Following the covenant made between PKK and ADO in 1993 to distort the
history of the Aramean nation, madam organised together with her
former comrade Fikri Aygur various activities in Holland and abroad
with the aim to recruit youngsters for the PKK as agreed between ADO
and PKK. Please find below some articles on their activities published
in various newspapers:

Iran calls for expansion of ties with Armenia

Tehran, 14 December: Visiting Armenian Minister of Energy and Natural
Resources Armen Movsisyan conferred on Sunday [14 December] with
Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki on expansion of cooperation between
the two countries.

Movsisyan is also the Armenian head of Iran-Armenia Economic
Commission which is to meet in Tehran.

At the meeting, Mottaki expressed satisfaction with the termination of
military conflicts in Ossetia noting that its aftermath will not harm
Armenia anymore. He added that Iran and Armenia are true friends
through hardship and happiness.

On construction of oil and gas refinery, laying pipelines and
construction of power plants and dams, Mottaki said that Tehran
welcomes any projects the help improve the living standards of the
people of border areas and will spare no efforts to help implement
development and industrial projects in Armenia.

Rendering more financial facilities for Iranian businessmen along with
improving the methods for transit of Iranian-made goods to Armenia and
the Caucasus would be vital for expansion of economic cooperation
between the two countries.

The Armenian minister, for his part, expressed satisfaction with the
current level of relations between the two countries and expressed the
hope that with the launching of Armenian consulate in Tabriz,
cooperation between the two countries businessmen and industrialists
will expand.
