Armenian Market Closes For Armenian Companies: Exports Plummet

ARMENIAN MARKET CLOSES FOR ARMENIAN COMPANIES: EXPORTS PLUMMET

Lragir.am
Business – 10 February 2015, 22:40

Armenian businessmen avoid exporting goods to Russia because the
situation of this country’s economy is uncertain. People relating to
this sector state that this January the levels of exports to Russia are
down compared with the previous years, levels of exports from Armenia
to Russia are down, though no official statistics is available yet.

There are several reasons for this which stem from the complicated
situation in the Russian economy. Gagik Makaryan, the head of the
Republican Union of Employers, highlights three problems. “Some
companies, considering the existing situation, have not resumed
exports, they are studying the setting, are cautious. Second, some
companies continue to export goods to Russia, suffering losses, not
to lose the market. Third, some employers have received new offers on
change of prices. Some canneries have to figure out if they can supply
goods to their Russian partners not to lose the market,” Makaryan said.

He notes that some businessmen have frozen their contracts with Russian
partners, others are negotiating. The Russian side has requested
Armenian exporters to supply their goods at cheaper prices since
their profits are down.

At this stage the Armenian companies have to export goods to Russia
at higher prices because according to contracts with the Russian side
payment is made in rubles and the ruble has devaluated. Expensive goods
sell badly in the Russian market, sales drop, which automatically cuts
exports. Wine and brandy companies are facing serious problems. The
head of Agrarian and Farmer Association Hrach Berberyan told Lragir.am
they have suffered considerable losses. Some companies avoid speaking
about their problems at this stage.

MAP told Lragir.am that they have encountered problems with export
and sale of drinks in the Russian market. Sales and exports dropped
as prices soar. “Our goods are not competitive in the Russian market.

They want to pay us in rubles, they say they lose from paying in
dollars,” MAP told us, adding that exports to Russia have been
dropping since September. Proshyan Brandy Factory’s spokesman told
us the same thing.

Hrach Berberyan said according to the contracts the canneries
signed with the Russian side, payment is made after selling the
goods. The companies of the sphere suffered great losses after the
ruble devaluated.

“Reliance on the Russian market was not the right thing,” he says. It
hits the economy of Armenia.

The head of Association of Exporters Raffi Mkhchyan told Lragir.am
that Armenian businessmen are in uncertainty. “The Russian side does
not want to pay in foreign currency, and the Armenian side does not
want to sustain losses. In this situation things are not moving in,
levels of exports plummeted. Some companies which used to export
till December have stopped exports since January. Instead, imports
from Russia have increased. At this stage businessmen are importing
flour from Russia to Armenia because the price of a bag of flour has
decreased by 4 dollars,” Mkhchyan says.

Forecasts of immense exports to the Eurasian Economic Union by members
of Armenian government are not coming true. “Kazakhstan and Belarus
do not make a big change, neither have we discovered new markets or
reached new agreements there. We need to look at the state of the
Russian market,” he said.

Azerbaijan Is Trying To Assign Famous "Carpet Of Armenian Orphans"

AZERBAIJAN IS TRYING TO ASSIGN FAMOUS “CARPET OF ARMENIAN ORPHANS”

18:42 10/02/2015 >> POLITICS

On February 26 in Glendale Central Library presentation of “Carpet
of Armenian orphans” by Maurice Misaka-Kelechyana, dedicated to
the unique carpet “Gasir” Weaved by hands of the Armenian women who
survived the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire, will be held,
reports the Glendale Arts website.

The Azerbaijani side didn’t lose the chance of provocation, and stated
that allegedly the carpet and its ornaments are “of Azerbaijani
origin.” Thus, according to the Azerbaijani news website “Pia.az”
the carpet “Gazir” belongs to “the Azerbaijani school of Tabriz”
and supposedly the eight-pointed star placed in the center of the
carpet proves it.

It should be noted that this is the only “argument” Azerbaijani side
brings, which cannot stand any criticism. In the center of the Armenian
carpet there is no eight-pointed star. Even with the naked eye it is
obvious that the central ornament besides the eight pointed corners has
also four tabs with rounded ends, forming a Christ, which is the symbol
of Christianity, and the pattern as a whole is the so-called “sprouted
or Flowering Cross” which is common for the medieval Armenian culture.

However, even if we assume that this pattern is an eight-pointed star,
this fact would not speaks in favor of the Azerbaijani side either,
as this symbol was often used by artists also in the early Christian
period and was called the “Star of David”, and in its turn had more
ancient roots. In this context, the phrase “Azerbaijani ornament”
is not acceptable, given the fact that the above mentioned Tabriz
carpet school is of Iranian origin.

Note that the carpet contains more than 4 million nodes and is
decorated with traceries of blossoming Garden of Eden, patterns of
plants and animals. Ornamental carpet system gives reason to believe
that the scenes depicted on it are from the Biblical story about Adam
and Eva.

The “Carpet of Armenian orphans” was woven in an orphanage for girls
in the Lebanese city of Gazir by the hands of orphans who survived
through by selling the carpets and contributions from the American
Near East Relief Committee. On December 4, 1925 the carpet was given
to the US President Calvin Coolidge as a gift as a sign of gratitude
for the help provided to the Armenians during the Genocide. President
George. C. Coolidge, when leaving the White House, took the carpet
with him, and kept it in his family until 1980. Family Coolidge
returned the carpet to the White House in 1982, where he was placed
in storage. Despite pressure from Turkey, on 18-23 November 2014 the
famous carpet “Gasi” was exhibited in the visitors’ hall of the White
House at the exhibition on the theme of “Thank you, United States:
three gift to presidents in gratitude for the generosity of the United
States abroad.” The world’s media wrote about the exhibition, noting
also about the carpet’s story.

Armenia Boasts Region’s Most Advanced Fiber Internet Service

ARMENIA BOASTS REGION’S MOST ADVANCED FIBER INTERNET SERVICE

Tuesday, February 10th, 2015

Armenia is now estimated to have the most advanced fiber-optic network
in the South Caucasus

YEREVAN–The citizens of the Republic of Armenia are enjoying what
is believed be the most advanced Fiber to the Home (FTTH) broadband
services in the South Caucasus region thanks to a fiber network built
by Ucom LLC that leverages solutions from California-based Calix, Inc.

Ucom, a 2014 Calix Innovation Award winner and fast-growing fiber
overbuilder in Armenia, continues to expand its extensive gigabit
passive optical network (GPON)-based network throughout the country.

It recently surpassed the 75,000 residential broadband subscriber
milestone in Armenia — making it the country’s largest provider of
FTTH residential wireline broadband services by revenue, and a key
infrastructure provider for the country’s public services, including
education, libraries, government offices, and other services.

Ucom, established in 2009, provides advanced wireline FTTH and wireless
broadband services that leverage its fiber access network to connect
homes and businesses in most of the country’s major cities.

Recognizing an enormous opportunity to bring a world-class fiber access
infrastructure to a country previously underserved by an aging copper
infrastructure, the company decided to go directly to GPON technology,
and put in place a gigabit-capable fiber network.

Ucom initially built the network using the Ericsson BLM 1500 and
T-Series ONTs. However, after Calix purchased Ericsson’s fiber access
assets, and subsequent platform integration work, the company has now
switched to the Calix E7-2 and E7-20 Ethernet Service Access Platforms
(ESAPs) for future services, to keep up with the ever-increasing
broadband services demand.

Today, Ucom believes it operates the largest fiber network in
Armenia and, by far, the most advanced. The company now passes over
50 percent of the homes in Armenia and is targeting continued growth
of 33 percent in 2015.

“Using the power and flexibility of the Calix technologies, Ucom
has been able to build what we believe to be the most extensive and
advanced fiber optic network in Armenia,” said Aleksandr Yesayan,
executive director, Ucom. “Our steadfast focus on creating a unique
and powerful broadband experience over wireline and wireless for
Armenians that provides the best quality service at an affordable
price has allowed us, in a few short years, to become the nation’s
largest FTTH broadband services provider. Calix has played a key
role in our success to date, and we will continue to leverage this
fiber network as we launch new Wi-Fi and LTE services — making us
the first quad-play operator in Armenia.”

With the help of Calix, Ucom’s next generation network has already
benefited schools, libraries, and other public services offices in the
region by increasing their bandwidth tenfold, facilitating activities
like teleconferencing and global learning.

Andy Lockhart, senior vice president, international sales at Calix,
said: “The broadband infrastructure in Armenia has leapt forward with
Ucom’s high quality fiber-based networks. Our E7 solutions are ideal
to provide the operational efficiencies needed without sacrificing
deployment flexibility or service functionality. This leaves service
providers like Ucom to concentrate on revenue-generating, game-changing
service delivery options. The company is already offering a wide range
of opportunities for government, education, and library services
in Armenia, creating powerful new services that now pass over half
of the homes and business in the country and changing the lives and
opportunities for the a growing proportion of Armenians.”

Ucom’s 2014 Calix Innovation Award for its leadership in Armenia
will be highlighted at the Calix booth at the FTTH Council Europe
Conference, 10-12 February 2015 at EXPO XXI in Warsaw, Poland.

Artak Khachatryan Still In Intensive Care Unit

ARTAK KHACHATRYAN STILL IN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

Artak Khachatryan – a civil activist, member of the political council
of Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK) – is still in the intensive care
unit of Yerevan’s Malatia Medical Center after he was kidnapped and
brutally beaten up by some unknown men two days ago.

told Aysor.am that doctors cannot tell when A. Khachatryan will be
transferred to a ward.

The parliamentary deputy said Artak Khachatryan’s condition is stable,
and positive dynamics have been observed.

Yet it is still unclear when he will be transferred from ICU to a ward.

As was reported, on February 7 Artak Khachatryan was kidnapped and
beaten up by a group of men wearing masks. On the same day he was
taken home.

Artak Khachatryan was an active participant in recent protests against
the amendments to the Armenian law on turnover tax.

Armenia’s Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case under
Article 131 part 2 point 1 of the Criminal Code – a kidnapping
committed by a group of people by previous concert.

Turqua Y La Negacion Del Genocidio Armenio

TURQUA Y LA NEGACION DEL GENOCIDIO ARMENIO

Comite Central Israelita Uruguay
3 feb 2015

El genocidio del pueblo armenio fue perpetrado hace ya un siglo por el
gobierno de los Jovenes Turcos en el Imperio Otomano, desde 1915 hasta
1923. Conocido tambien como el “holocausto armenio”, este episodio,
uno de los abominables que recuerda la historia del mundo, consistio
en la deportacion forzosa y el exterminio de un número indeterminado
de civiles armenios, calculado aproximadamente entre un millon y
medio y dos millones de personas.

A pesar de la documentacion largamente probatoria del hecho, Turquía
lo sigue negando y se esfuerza vanamente por tratar de distorsionar
la historia, como si el genocidio no hubiera existido y como si los
turcos no hubieran sido responsables de el, escondiendo y desafiando
a la verdad.

Por esta razon, no debe llamar la atencion que continúe adoptando
medidas para continuar profundizando el mencionado negacionismo. Una
de ellas consiste en haber modificado la fecha de una celebracion
nacional, el aniversario de la batalla de Galípoli contra los
aliados, en la Primera Guerra Mundial, para hacerla coincidir, no
por casualidad, con el 24 de abril, fecha en la que historicamente
los armenios conmemoran el dramatico sacrificio a que fue sometido
su pueblo. Recordemos nuevamente que en ese genocidio un millon y
medio de víctimas perdieron sus vidas de una manera atroz y cruel:
o directamente ejecutadas o exterminadas por el hambre u obligadas
a marchar hasta el agotamiento, en episodios absolutamente inhumanos
que no pueden ni deben ser olvidados.

El cambio de la efemeride turca es realmente lamentable y se agrega a
las distorsionadas descripciones historicas contenidas en algunas de
las novelas para television de origen turco, que incluso se exhiben
en este momento en nuestro propio medio.

Estos esfuerzos por desfigurar y hasta banalizar el tema generan un
fuerte rechazo. El genocidio armenio no puede disimularse y, mucho
menos, borrarse de la historia. Es hora de que así sea debidamente
reconocido por las autoridades de Turquía.

Russia Does Not Need Bases On Cyprus – Military Expert

RUSSIA DOES NOT NEED BASES ON CYPRUS – MILITARY EXPERT

Interfax, Russia
Feb 9 2015

MOSCOW. Feb 9

Russia does not need military bases on Cyprus, especially considering
the current economic climate, former chief of the international
agreements division of the Russian Defense Ministry’s main
international cooperation department Lt. Gen. Yevgeny Buzhinsky said.

“Sure, we do not need them [the bases], especially given the
present-day economic conditions,” Buzhinsky, PIR Center Board Chairman,
told Interfax-AVN on Monday.

He was commenting on a statement by Cypriot President Nikos
Anastasiadis who said Cyprus was prepared to consider the deployment
of Russian air and naval bases on the island.

In the opinion of Buzhinsky, “Cyprus must need something, it wants
money and is ready to do anything. It is especially amusing that they
are offering [Russia] to open its base near Akrotiri, the location
of a British military base.”

Being a member of the European Union, Cyprus is part of the sphere of
influence of the Europeans and the Americans, primarily, the Brits,
he said.

“So, all this talk about Russian bases on Cyprus reminds me of Cyprus’
“procurement” of S-300 missile systems. It even paid the bill, but
the S-300 systems were finally deployed in Greece because no one would
let Cyprus to deploy Russian-made air defense systems,” Buzhinsky said.

Speaking of Greek media reports regarding the Russian government’s
request for leasing an air base on Cyprus, a military diplomat told
Interfax-AVN in Moscow earlier that the Russian army did not have an
operative need to deploy an airbase in the Mediterranean but it could
temporarily use the Cypriot territory, for instance, for possible
evacuation of Russian citizens from conflict-ridden Syria.

“The Russian army has no operative need to station an airbase on
Cyprus, because the Russian Defense Ministry does not posses a regional
group which will require support from such base,” the source said.

“Most probably, it could be the question of temporary use, with the
consent of the Cypriot side, of some airfield for possible evacuation
of Russian citizens in the case of escalated tensions in Syria,”
he continued.

“The situation around that country [Syria] has changed, and Russia
has contributed to that by its efforts,” the source said.

At present, Russian airbases are deployed outside the national
territory wherever Russia has army forces, i.e. in Kyrgyzstan,
Armenia and Tajikistan, he said.

Western media, which commented on the statement by Anastasiadis,
said that a formal agreement on military cooperation between Russia
and Cyprus might be signed on February 25, 2015.

Azeri President Sees Similarity In Ukrainian, Karabakh Conflicts

AZERI PRESIDENT SEES SIMILARITY IN UKRAINIAN, KARABAKH CONFLICTS

Interfax, Russia
Feb 9 2015

BAKU. Feb 9

The conflict in Ukraine and that between Armenia and Azerbaijan are
“mirror reflections” of one another, says Ilham Aliyev, the president
of Azerbaijan.

“Had the Armenian-Azeri conflict been resolved, Ukraine might not
have faced this conflict now, because here the same scenario is taking
place: the same violation of territorial integrity, the same result,
occupation, separatism. It is as if they were mirror reflections of
one another,” Aliyev said during a panel discussion titled “Beyond
Ukraine – Unresolved Conflicts in Europe” at the 51st Munich Security
Conference last Saturday.

The Armenian-Azeri conflict stayed in the shadow of other important
international events, but the Ukrainian issue attracted some attention,
he said.

The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
has been mediating the Armenian-Azeri conflict for years but with no
result, he said. “OSCE has an ad hoc team dealing with this conflict.

It is called the Minsk Group and co-chaired by three permanent members
of the United Nations Security Council: Russia, France and the United
States. This group has been functioning for more than 22 years now
but no results have been achieved,” Aliyev said.

Recognize Armenian Genocide In International Community

RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IN INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY

The Justice: Brandeis University Independent Student Newspaper, Waltham, MA
February 9, 2015 Monday

by: Jessica Goldstein

In 1939, during the siege of Poland, Adolph Hitler gave a speech
expressing his right to exterminate the Polish. He justified
mass murder thusly: “I have placed my death-head formations in
readiness-for the present only in the East-with orders to send to
death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women and children of
Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living
space which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation
of the Armenians?”

Grievously, we are nearly reaching the 100th anniversary of the
genocide against the Armenians, and this still remains the case. The
international community fails to recognize this event as, in fact, a
“genocide.” Although this genocide occurred during the First World
War-meaning that it predates the actual word “genocide”-the term
very much applies to this case. In fact, it inspired Raphael Lemkin
to invent the word “genocide” in the first place.

According to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court,
genocide means “any of the following acts committed with the intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious
group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily
or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the
group conditions calculated to bring about its physical destruction
in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births
within the group; forcibly transferring children of the group to
another group.” The distinction between genocide and other atrocities
is that genocide is always perpetrated with the “intent to destroy.”

According to the Armenian National Institute, the genocide was
perpetrated by the Turkish government during World War I (between
1915 and 1918) against the Armenians in the Ottoman Empire-the
largest Christian minority in the Anatolian portion of the empire. In
addition to the mass killings, victims were subjected to deportation,
expropriation, abduction, torture and starvation in an attempt to
further the genocide and ethnic cleansing. Many would fall victim in
rather ordinary ways from hunger, thirst and disease.

Two weeks ago, Amal Clooney, a human rights lawyer, took the case
of the Armenian genocide to the European Court of Human Rights,
defending the honor of some 1.5 million slaughtered by Turkish
officials a century ago. This case is long overdue.

Clooney is joining a movement that was established nearly a century
ago. Before the genocide even occurred, the international community
took notice of the mass atrocities committed against the Armenians,
and, surprisingly, successful activist movements arose in the United
States. This is recounted in Peter Balakian’s The Burning Tigris:
The Armenian Genocide and America’s Response.

In fact, beginning in the 1890s, the response to the “Hamidian
Massacres”-and, later, genocide-marked the first international human
rights movement in American history, according to Balakian, helping
to establish our place as a global power, accompanying European powers.

And on Nov. 26, 1894, individuals gathered in the historic FaneuiI
Hall to solidify this movement and began addressing the grievous
atrocities being committed in the Ottoman Empire by the Sultan Abdul
Hamid II. News of the massacres splayed across the pages of papers like
the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Boston Globe-just to
name a few. In 1915, the New York Times published some 145 articles
on the massacres in that year alone. Influential figures like John D.

Rockefeller helped to establish the National Armenian Relief Committee
to raise significant amounts of money for relief and later encouraged
Clara Barton to take her Red Cross relief team internationally for
the first time to further their cause.

Yet, oddly enough, we now seem to have forgotten about the genocide
against the Armenians. The Sultan’s attempt to solve “the Armenian
question” falls deafly on our ears. Perhaps Hitler was right in his
assumption that the world had forgotten about the Armenian genocide.

In fact, according to the Armenian National Institute, only twenty-one
countries-or 11 percent of countries in the world today-officially
recognize the genocide. Rest assured, the United States is one of them.

However, Turkish officials still to this day deny the existence of
the genocide, expressing that whenever Armenian scholars write about
the genocide, it is the “Armenian point of view.” At the same time,
the Association of Genocide Scholars and the community of Holocaust
scholars assert that this intentional extermination of the Armenians
is a genocide-one which claimed the lives of nearly two-thirds of
that population. Elie Wiesel writes that the Armenian genocide is a
“double killing” because it kills the memory of the event.

However, denial of a genocide is more than an altered historical view.

Professor Deborah Lipstadt, a noteworthy scholar of genocide denial at
Emory University, takes it a step further, stating that denial is in
fact “the final stage of genocide,” as it “strives to reshape history
in order to demonize the victims and rehabilitate the perpetrators.”

We must do better.

Not addressing and recognizing a genocide nearly a century after
the fact is setting a frightening precedent. Although the United
States does not categorically deny that the genocide occurred, this
doesn’t give us a Get-out-of-Jail-Free card. As a global power, we
must ensure that our government holds others in the international
community accountable for their human rights atrocities. Otherwise,
we are forgetting the precedent we set all those years ago when we
gathered in Faneuil Hall to protest an unjust act. We are forgetting
the precedent that ensured the world that we would soon be great.

Open Letter To Angela Merkel

OPEN LETTER TO ANGELA MERKEL

EU Reporter
Feb 9 2015

EU Reporter Correspondent

Dear Angela Merkel,

On the 21st of January you met the barbarian Aliev. You ignored the
fact that Aliev has created a totalitarian state in Azerbaijan where
the human rights as well as the rights of nations are violated. You
know it very well but you continue to maintain good relations with
Azerbaijan and it is because of the oil and gas. I should mention
that soon the oil in Azerbaijan will finish and the gas mine is not
Azerbaijan’s it will soon be passed to the state to which it belonged.

With the prices of nowadays Azerbaijan sells oil and gas of $25
billion which is a very small sum for Germany as GNP (gross output)
of Germany is $3.5 trillion. Azerbaijan’s oil and gas will never be
an alternative for Europe.

I should mention that oil and gas of the Earth will soon come to
an end. So you have to look for other sources of energy; including
biopetrol and biogas which Europe will provide for itself. You are
saying that Armenia an instrument for Russia. You are wrong, Armenia
is the ally for Europe, Russia, Christian countries and defends Russia
and Europe from the South.

The Armenians have not forgotten that a number of European Christian
countries with the help of Russia were liberated from the Ottoman
Empire. Armenians have not forgotten how in the 12-15th centuries
because of disagreement of Christian countries the Turks occupied
Armenia, Byzantium, Balkan Countries, the Turks have reached up
to Italy and Germany and Germany with great difficulty could stop
the Turks.

The Armenians have not forgotten how in 1915 with the advice and
permission of Germany the Turks organized the Genocide of the Armenians
right in front of the eyes of Europe.

You are saying; .

You are right when you say that the problems of Karabakh and the Crimea
shouldn’t be compared as the Russians have lived in the Crimea for more
than 300 years meanwhile the Armenians have been living in Karabakh for
more than 7000 years and at that time the ancestors of your Aliev were
in the mountains of the North China and they haven’t come down from the
mountains as they haven’t turned into a human being from the monkeys.

Besides, the Crimea in a completely justified way was reunited with
Russia meanwhile the great part of Karabakh was left with so called
Azerbaijan which Lenin established on the Armenian territories.

Germany has no obligation towards the Crimea.

As for Karabakh German has an obligation due to the reunion of East
and West Germany as if it not were for the Karabakh movement, neither
the Berlin war would be destroyed nor the Warsaw Pact dissolve,
nor the USSR.

You had to recognize Karabakh long ago instead of collaborating with
barbarian, slave owner, dictator Aliev who has a wealth of $200bn
and it’s surprising that until now no sanction is applied towards
Azerbaijan where a life of a human being is not worth a cent.

Esteemed Merkel, I don’t see any difference between the Iraq Islamists
(who rape, kill and make slaves thousands of Non Mohammedans and the
Christians) and Aliev who keeps in the prisons millions Lezguians,
Tats, Kurds, Talishs, Yazidies and other small nations who are deprived
of elementary human rights.

I shall not be surprised if one day the leader of the Islamists
appears in Europe.

Esteemed Merkel, the Justice cannot be German or Russian, Turkish
or Armenian, it should correspond to the essence and be defended by
everybody if you want to keep peace on the Earth.

Why East and West Germany may be united and West Armenia (which is
more than one half of Turkey) cannot be united with East Armenia.

But don’t forget that German nation has an Armenian origin which you
may boast of as the Armenian nation is the most peace loving, the most
humane loving nation which following the Christ wants all the people to
be brothers irrespective of their nationality, religion and skin color.

I hope that in the future you will struggle for justice, peace in the
whole world. Believe me the humanity has no other way out either we
shall destroy the Earth or make it one united family.

Best Regards,

KYUG
