Gallipoli commemorations cancelled due to lack of international interest

February 21, 2015, Saturday/ 17:00:00/ LAMÄ°YA ADÄ°LGIZI / ISTANBUL

Centennial commemorations of the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I
initiated by the Turkish government and to be celebrated on April 24
of this year — the same date as the centennial commemorations of what
is called the `Armenian genocide’ — have been cancelled due to the
unwillingness of international leaders to visit Ankara and overshadow
the genocide ceremonies in Yerevan.

`The Gallipoli celebrations have been cancelled. All preparations have
been suspended as the number of RSVPs to the invitation is not
positive. Only five countries have accepted the invitation and they
will not be represented by high-level officials,’ an official from the
government, who asked to remain anonymous, said in a talk with
Sunday’s Zaman.

The suspension of the Gallipoli commemorations, which were being
organized by the Turkish Ministry of Youth and Sport, is part of
longstanding war of words between the Turkish and Armenian leaders
following an exchange of invitations by both sides urging each other
to accept the request and honor their victims of the World War I in
their respective countries. However, neither side appears to be
compromising.

The tense ties between Armenians and Turks became particularly
strained after Ankara decided to commemorate the Gallipoli Campaign on
the same date as the 100th anniversary of the 1915 events that led to
the killing of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire during WWI. The Turkish
government sent invitations to more than 100 leaders around the world,
including Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, to attend the event. The
campaign was one of the most famous battles of WWI when Ottoman troops
resisted the invading Allied forces who sought to control the
Gallipoli peninsula on the Dardanelles strait.

“We fought together as one of a kind. That’s why we invited Sarksyan,”
a government official was quoted by local media as saying, referring
to the participation of Armenian minorities alongside Turks in the
Ottoman army.

Yerevan rejected the invitation and in an open letter to President
Recep Tayyip ErdoÄ?an, Sarksyan said the invitation itself showed
Turkey’s continuing policy of denying the Armenian genocide and
emphasized that Turkey needs to recognize the 1915 killings as a
genocide.

A couple of months earlier Sarksyan had first invited ErdoÄ?an — after
he was elected president in August of last year — to join Armenians
in commemorating the victims of the Armenian `genocide’ in Yerevan on
April 24. The invitation was presented by Armenian Foreign Minister
Eduard Nalbandyan during the first official visit of an Armenian
minister to Ankara.

Armenians claim that 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed
in the final years of the Ottoman Empire in a way that constitutes
genocide, a claim categorically denied by Turkey. Ankara says the
death toll is inflated and denies that the events of 1915 amounted to
genocide, arguing instead that both Turks and Armenians were killed
when Armenians revolted against the Ottoman Empire during WWI in
collaboration with the Russian army, which was then invading Eastern
Anatolia. Every year on April 24, Armenians around the world
commemorate the Armenian victims who died at the end of WWI.

The latest debacle in the already heated relations between Turkey and
Armenia was Sarksyan’s withdrawal of the Zurich protocols from the
Armenian Parliament. “The Turkish government has no political will,
distorts the spirit of the protocols and continues its policy of
setting preconditions,” Sarksyan said in a statement issued on Monday,
adding that Turkey’s “policy of denial and rewriting of history” on
the eve of the 100th anniversary of the 1915 killings is being revived
in Ankara.

The Zurich protocols, intended to normalize ties between Turkey and
Armenia, were signed in Zurich on Oct. 10, 2009 with the aim of
establishing diplomatic relations and opening the two countries’ land
border, which was closed in solidarity with Azerbaijan after
Armenia-backed armed forces seized Azerbaijani territories as part of
the Nagorno-Karabakh war. The normalization process had been
deadlocked ever since as neither Parliament approved the deal. Both
Ankara and Yerevan have accused each other of setting new conditions
on the deal agreed to in Zurich years ago. Turkey has many times
stated that any development, such as reconciliation or opening the
border between the two estranged nations, could not be expected until
Armenia settles the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with Azerbaijan,
Turkey’s ally in the region.

Instead, Ankara extended its commitment to the peace protocols.
Calling Armenia’s decision `inconsistent and insincere,’ Turkish
Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgiç said on Tuesday that Armenia
wanted further reasons to criticize Turkey ahead of the 100th
anniversary of the 1915 events.

`The real test will be in April,’ said Richard Giragosian, the
director of the Yerevan-based Regional Studies Center (RSC), adding
that although the current developments seem to taint relations, they
do not necessarily signal the death of the normalization process
although the process itself has reached its lowest point.

Relating the tense political atmosphere on the Armenian-Turkish
normalization to the domestic issues in both countries — the upcoming
June general election for which ErdoÄ?an is trying to secure votes and
Sarksyan using the protocols to deal with his own domestic political
troubles — Giragosian says the test will depend more on what Turkish
leaders say and do on April 24.

Last April ErdoÄ?an extended his condolences to Armenians over what
happened in 1915, although the act did not meet the expectations of
Yerevan or the Armenian diaspora.

In Ankara, Güner Ã-zkan, an expert on the Caucasus at the International
Strategic Research Organization (USAK), is not positive about any new
developments in the Turkish-Armenian ties at least until the upcoming
general election in Turkey on June 7.

Calling Sarksyan’s latest step a “unilaterial decision,” Ã-zkan doesn’t
seem convinced as to the continuation of the precedent established by
ErdoÄ?an a year ago: “I don’t expect any sudden move [from Turkish
leaders including ErdoÄ?an] especially under the increasing pressure on
Ankara on the eve of the approaching 100th anniversary of the
so-called genocide and the upcoming election.”

Over 1,000 IDF ‘lone soldiers’ attend personal errand day in Tel Aviv

This opportunity to handle important personal affairs for ‘lone
soldiers’ was organized by Nefesh B’Nefesh and Friends of the IDF Lone
Soldier Program.

Aviv . (photo credit:NEFESH B’NEFESH)

Over 1,000 lone soldiers from around the world serving in multiple
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) units convened on Thursday at Beit
HaChayal in Tel Aviv for a special “National Personal Planning Day”
(Yom Siddurim), according to a statement released by Nefesh B’Nefesh
(NBN) on Thursday.

Organizing this opportunity to handle important personal affairs was
the Nefesh B’Nefesh (NBN) and Friends of the IDF (FIDF) Lone Soldier
Program, in cooperation with the IDF Human Resources Department,
Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, Ministry of Interior, The
Jewish Agency for Israel and Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael.

All IDF lone soldiers – immigrants who come to Israel without their
immediate families to serve in the IDF – are entitled once every two
months to take a Personal Planning Day, an important opportunity to
attend to his or her personal affairs, such as bureaucratic paperwork,
banking and other essential needs. After discussions with soldiers and
IDF social workers, it became clear last year that many lone soldiers
were unable to take care of their myriad of personal matters in the
time allotted to them and they therefore needed further assistance to
help with these issues.

Following the enormous success of last year’s inaugural Personal
Planning Day, the IDF issued a directive to military units to release
all lone soldiers on Thursday, which resulted in almost doubling the
turnout from last year.

The Lone Soldier Program invited the essential civilian agencies whose
services are needed by lone soldiers, to convene on the same day,
under one roof, and assist the lone soldiers with their personal
matters. Among the participating agencies were: the Ministry of
Interior, Ministry of Aliyah and Immigrant Absorption, the Student
Licensing Office, Ministry of Housing, Automobile License Authority,
Israel Tax Authority, The Jewish Agency for Israel, Ha’aguda Lema’an
Hachayal,Discharged Soldiers Guidance Department, Electric Company of
Israel, Ktseen Ha’air, the Post Office, Bank of Israel and more.

According to the statement released by Nefesh B’nefesh, about 2,700
lone soldiers currently serve in the IDF including 860 from the U.S.,
471 from Russia, 300 from Ukraine, 220 from France, 78 from Canada, 74
from Britain, 71 from Belarus, 51 from Moldova, 39 from Australia, 37
from South Africa, 37 from Kazakhstan, 30 from Uzbekistan, 33 from
Argentina, 29 from Brazil, 21 from Mexico, 22 from Colombia, 23 from
Germany, 21 from Italy, 21 from Azerbaijan, 21 from Venezuela, 17 from
Georgia, 17 from Belgium, 12 from Uruguay, 12 from Spain, 7 from Peru,
9 from Guatemala, 8 from Hungary, 6 from Sweden, and soldiers from
dozens of other countries such as Armenia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Chile,
Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, Hong
Kong, India, Iran, Japan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania,
Morocco, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Thailand,
Tunisia, Turkey and Turkmenistan.

#Marseille : commémoration de l’exécution du groupe Missak Manouchian

Ce samedi 21 février à Marseille est commémoré le 71e anniversaire de
l’exécution du groupe de résistants FTP-MOI, de Missak Manouchian.

Poète français d’origine arménienne, militant communiste responsable
de la section arménienne de la MOI, Missak Manouchian était à 37 ans,
un résistant, commissaire militaire des Francs Tireurs Partisans-MOI
de la région parisienne. Dans la foulée de leurs exécutions, la
propagande allemande placarda sur les murs de Paris 15.000 affiches
rouges (ci-dessus) portant en médaillons noirs les visages de dix
fusill̩s. Au centre, se trouve la photo Рde Manouchian et cette
inscription : « Arménien, chef de bande, 56 attentats, 150 morts, 600
blessés. ». Cette Affiche rouge produit l’effet contraire à celui
escompté, devenant pour toute la Résistance “l’emblème du martyre”.

Depuis le 20 février 2010, le buste de Missak Manouchian et la liste
de ses 22 compagnons-résistants morts fusillés le 21 février 1944, au
fort du Mont-Valérien, se dressent dans un square situé face au Vieux
Port de Marseille. Preuve que certaines idées nauséabondes ont la vie
dure, en quatre ans, le buste de Manouchian a été plusieurs fois
profané, la dernière en septembre 2014. Les “nazillons” ont été jugés
mais une nouvelle plainte a été déposée pour des propos déplacés sur
les réseaux sociaux, cette fois.

L’initiative de ce samedi matin (à 10h, au square Missak Manouchian –
boulevard Charles Livon, 13007 Marseille) est organisée par la
jeunesse arménienne de France avec le soutien de l’association
nationale des anciens combattants et amis de la résistance,
l’association des anciens combattants et résitants français d’origine
arménienne, l’Union Culturelle des Arméniens de France, et les scouts
apostoliques de Marseille.

d’aujourd’hui refuse toujours de reconnaître sa responsabilité dans ce
que les historiens sont presque unanimes à qualifier de génocide. Le
président turc Erdogan déclare avoir encore besoin de preuves. Et même
si l’on commence, timidement, à oser aborder publiquement le sujet
dans le pays, ceux qui s’opposent à la version officielle risquent
gros. Après l’assassinat, début 2007, du journaliste turc arménien
Hrant Dink, c’est le Prix Nobel de littérature Orhan Pahmuk qui a été
traîné en justice.

Grand froid sur les relations bilatérales

A deux mois des commémorations du centenaire du génocide arménien, le
président Sargsian retire de l’Assemblée nationale les protocoles sur
les relations avec la Turquie.

Courrier international
Alda Engoian et Laurence Habay

Le 16 février, le président arménien Serge Sargsian a retiré du
Parlement les protocoles sur la normalisation des liens et
l’établissement de relations diplomatiques avec la Turquie, rapporte
le quotidien arménien Novoïé Vremia.

Signés à Zurich le 10 octobre 2009, avec pour perspective l’ouverture
de la frontière terrestre entre les deux pays, les protocoles sont
restés lettre morte. Le “gouvernement turc n’a aucune volonté
politique, déforme l’esprit et la lettre des protocoles, et continue
de poser des conditions”, a expliqué Serge Sargsian avant d’ajouter
qu’à la veille de la commémoration du 100e anniversaire du génocide
arménien, “la politique de déni et de réécriture de l’histoire” prend
de l’ampleur à Ankara.

Le rôle du conflit gelé du Haut-Karabakh

La décision du président arménien “est une réponse à la politique
destructrice de la Turquie qui pose des préconditions pour une
normalisation et doit ainsi endosser toute la responsabilité de
l’échec des protocoles”, note le turcologue arménien Levon Ovsepian,
cité par le site arménien Panorama.

Comme le note le quotidien russe Nezavissimaïa Gazeta, Ankara subit la
pression de l’Azerbaïdjan, son partenaire stratégique. Bakou a en
effet déclaré que la normalisation des relations avec l’Arménie ne
serait possible qu'”après le retour du Haut-Karabakh [enclave
séparatiste arménienne] au sein de l’Azerbaïdjan”. Et que, dans le cas
contraire, “Bakou révisera intégralement ses relations avec Ankara”.

Contentieux autour du centenaire du génocide

La tension entre Erevan et Ankara est montée d’un cran au début de
l’année autour de la question du centenaire du génocide arménien. Le
président turc, Recep Erdogan, a en effet convié son homologue
arménien à la célébration du centenaire de la bataille de Gallipoli,
le jour anniversaire du génocide, le 24 avril 2015. Serge Sargsian
s’en est offusqué dans une lettre.

Le 30 janvier, à Erevan, la Commission nationale pour la commémoration
du centième anniversaire du génocide arménien dans l’Empire ottoman a
présenté le programme des événements. “Du 18 au 20 avril, un forum
international réunira à Erevan des journalistes du monde entier, qui
auront toute latitude pour commenter les événements qui auront lieu en
Arménie du 22 au 24 avril”, précise Novoïé Vremia.

Les 22 et 23 avril, une conférence internationale intitulée “Contre
les crimes du génocide” accueillera les représentants des pouvoirs
exécutif et législatif et des autorités religieuses de nombreux pays.
Le 23 avril, à Etchmiadzine, ville où se trouve le siège de l’église
apostolique arménienne, des martyrs du génocide seront béatifiés.

Le groupe de rock californien System of a Down, dont les quatre
membres sont d’origine arménienne, commémorera l’événement en faisant
étape à Erevan le soir du 23 avril pour son Wake up the Souls Tour
2015. Puis une marche aux flambeaux se dirigera vers le
Tsitsernakaberd, mémorial dédié aux victimes du génocide, situé sur
une des collines de la capitale arménienne. Une cérémonie
commémorative et un concert de musique classique avec des musiciens
issus des pays ayant reconnu le génocide auront lieu le 24 avril. Un
site trilingue (en arménien, russe et anglais) a été créé pour suivre
les événements.

“Tsarukyan’s property will be redistributed and people will be moved
from one party to another”

15:39 | February 21,2015 | Politics

“There is no equality in the political field”, announced former deputy
of the SC and the NA Azat Arshakyan at “Hayk” analytical-informational
center while speaking on the topic “How to free the political field
from non-political, marginal powers”.

Mr. Arshakyan noted that the parties are the main tool of democracy,
so the parties must have transparent financing.

Songwriter, composer Vahan Artsruni thinks that politics is also a
culture, “What we can demand from the uneducated and educated people.
If we examine all the spheres, the same formula operates in all the
areas: currently we are in the phase, where there aren’t laws typical
to civilization, there is only benefit, which implies certain actions-
mania to enter into the authorities and adaptation to its type.”

He thinks that politics without morality is nothing and it becomes
dangerous for the whole world, “This reality is dangerous. All we are
buried in the mud of that reality. All the layers- the authorities,
the businessmen and common citizens have this feeling.”

Touching upon inner political events, particularly HHK-BHK
contradictions, their reconciliation, the participation of society and
rating of parties in this background, Azat Arshakyan noted that 10
years ago the political field could be self-cleaned, “There was hope
that the RA would recover and would make progress. Now we are in a
deadlock and the political field can’t be self-cleaned.”

Vahan Artsruni noted that if a common passerby is asked “are you happy
in your country?”, it will describe our situation, “If the life isn’t
systemized in the country, we get a convenient variant to express
ourselves in power and defend our interests, which becomes invisible.
Soon we will see that Tsarukyan’s property will be redistributed and
people will be moved from one party to another, as it is typical to
this system.”

He thinks that in such situation always the third power appears, a
leader is born unexpectedly, “If it doesn’t happen, that
redistribution will continue. The leader will be from the political
field. Society is not able to give leaders anymore.”

Wiretaps reveal Turkey’s involvement in Kessab

11:19, 19 Feb 2015
Siranush Ghazanchyan

(Al-Monitor) – Media reports based on eyewitness and opposition
sources saying that Turkey has become a party to the civil war in
Syria have found their way into court proceedings. During the trial of
the Islamic State (IS) militants who attacked Turkish security forces
at Nigde last year, court files revealed that Turkey, beyond supplying
opposition forces with weapons and ammunition, had also given
artillery support to the opposition groups that captured Kessab. The
prosecutor obtained striking admissions by tapping the defendants’
phones. According to documents obtained by Ahmet Sik of Cumhuriyet,
the wiretapping transcripts reveal that the opposition forces at
Kessab informed people in Turkey of the coordinates of Syrian army
positions around Kessab, after which Turkish forces shelled those
locations.

On March 21, armed Syrian opposition groups entered Turkey from five
different crossings and re-entered Syria at the Yayladag border
crossing and captured Kessab.

In addition to armed Turkmen groups, al-Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate
Jabhat al-Nusra, the Islamic Front’s most prominent group Ahrar
al-Sham, IS-affiliated Shukur el-Izz, Sham el Islam (established by
former Guantanamo prisoner Moroccan Ibrahim Binshekrun) and Ansar
al-Islam, which has links both to al-Qaeda and IS, took part in the
operation to capture Kessab. As clashes continued around Kessab on
March 23, a Syrian warplane was shot down by a missile fired from
Turkey for violating Turkish airspace. In June 2014, when President
Bashar al-Assad’s army recaptured Kessab, including the high ground
known as Feature 45, the Turkish army fired on the Syrian side. The
Turkish government and military persistently said all firing on Syria
after the changed rules of engagement following the shooting down of
the Turkish jet were in retaliation for border violations on the
Turkish side. The Turkish Foreign Ministry rejected the accusation,
saying, “All claims that Turkey has been supporting the opposition
forces by allowing them to use Turkish territory or in any other way
are totally baseless.”

Wiretaps tell another story

The information collected from the Nigde assailants’ tapped phones
contradicted official statements. According to the recordings, Adil
Orli, the commander of the Bayir Bucak Turkmen Front, sends the
coordinates through his brother Ayhan Orli to Mehmet Toktas, the
president of the Yayladag Youth Association. In a conversation on June
7, Ayhan Orli reports that he had sent via Whatsapp the coordinates of
seven targets he had received from Adil Orli. He says, “Firing was
useful. Our friends solved the rest of the problems. But there are
still seven locations. If you fire once on each, that will be enough.”

Toktas answers, “Seven locations OK. Tell everyone to stay on defense
in the coming moments.”

The two also talk of military assistance. Orli complains of a shortage
of ammunition. Toktas says, “Let me talk to Ankara once more to see
what is happening. Without ammunition, nothing can be done.”

In a conversation on June 14, someone called Yasar Benli asks Ayhan
Orli to arrange for the shelling of the Syrian regime’s units deployed
around the cell towers on Feature 45. A short time later, Ayhan Orli
tells Toktas, “There are many soldiers on Syriatel Hill. It will be
good if you can hit them.” He gives a description of the target.

On June 13, a Turkmen from the front line asks Ayhan Orli to help some
surrounded fighters cross into Turkey. Orli calls sub-governor of
Yayladag, Turan Yilmaz.

Orli: There are 20-30 men at Arfal. Can you help them cross the border?

Yilmaz: You mean now, 20-30 people? Where are they now?

Orli: At Arfal.

Yilmaz: Will they cross from near 45?

Orli: Yes, from 45.

Yilmaz: Done.

After the court documents became public, Turan Yilmaz said, “We acted
according to directives.”

Main opposition Republican People’s Party deputy Umut Oran brought the
issue of the Turkish army’s artillery support to the parliament and
asked Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, “Why did the Turkish army open
fire on an area in Syria for no apparent reason? Doesn’t this put
Turkey in a position it can’t explain and rectify?”

Weapons did not go to Turkmens, but to Ansar
The court documents contain remarks that reinforce suspicions about
Turkey’s help to radical groups in the form of arms shipments. In a
conversation between Ayhan Orli and President of the Syrian Turks
Association Ahmet Sirin (alias Ahmad Ohrin), they say weapons sent
from Turkey have actually gone to Ansar al-Islam.

Ansar al-Islam generally operates jointly with Jabhat al-Nusra. When
Orli says they have run out of ammunition, Sirin asks, “What happened
to those weapons that have gone to Ansar?” Orli replies, “I don’t
know. You have to ask those who delivered the weapons to Ansar.”

In another conversation on June 14, when Orli was saying that the
situation at Kassab was not going well, Bayir Bucak Brigade Commander
Col. Ahmed Arnavut (alias Aziz Kikhia) asks, “Where are those guys who
received the trucks? Orli says, “They are not around.”

The same day, Orli complains of an ammunition shortage to Samir Hafez,
the general coordinator of the Syrian Turkmen Groups. Hafez says, “We
haven’t received anything for a year. You think it will come now?”
Orli retorts, “You mean, we are up for sale?”

The issue of weapons assistance to Turkmens found its way to the
national agenda when three trucks loaded with rockets were stopped at
Adana. According to the deposition of one driver, the trucks, which
belong to Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT), were to
enter Syria through the Cilvegozu border crossing. Bab al-Hawa,
opposite Turkey’s Cilvegozu gate, is controlled by the Islamic Front
and Jabhat al-Nusra. But the Turkish government insists the assistance
was going to Turkmens.

Les commémorations du centième anniversaire de Gallipoli seraient annulées

Les Commémorations du centenaire de la campagne de Gallipoli de la
Première Guerre mondiale initiées par le gouvernement turc et avancées
au 24 avril cette année, alors qu’elles sont normalement célébrées le
25 avril, jour du débarquement allié, seraient annulées. C’est du
moins ce qu’indique le journal turc Sundays Zaman.

>,
précise-Sundays Zaman.

Si cette information venait à être confirmée, il s’agirait d’un grave
revers de la diplomatie négationniste de la Turquie qui, avec ce
stratagème grossier, avait imaginé pouvoir faire de l’ombre aux
commémorations du centième anniversaire du génocide arménien qui se
dérouleront à la date traditionnelle du 24 avril à Erevan. Le
président Sarkissian avait dénoncé ce procédé et refusé l’invitation
pour le moins hypocrite et provocatrice d’Erdogan, dans une réponse
qu’il lui avait adressée le 15 janvier dernier. Les autorités turques
ont-elles préféré faire marche arrière plutôt que de prendre le risque
de voir leurs manoeuvres se retourner contre elles et les ridiculiser
davantage ? A suivre.
