Tragic 40th Anniversary of Turkish Invasion of Cyprus Marked

Thursday, 24 July 2014 13:54 By: Daniel Pipes

July 20, 2014 marked the gloomy 40th anniversary of the day that
Turkish troops overpowered the tiny, almost undefended island of
Cyprus in a brutal exercise of military might whose immorality only
intensifies with the passing decades. Some thoughts in honor of the
day:

The invasion did not take place under Islamist rule: Although an
Islamist (Necmettin Erbakan) served as deputy prime minister in a
coalition government for almost all of 1974, he was not the key
decision maker in Turkey. Rather, Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit, a
leftist, enjoyed that privilege.

The Ecevit-Erbakan cooperation in 1974 symbolizes a support among
Turks of all political persuasions for the invasion of Cyprus that
still persists. This near-unanimity is a basic fact of Turkish
political life.

That consensus will presumably remain in place until the Turkish
occupation begins to take its toll – economic, diplomatic, or even
military – on the Republic of Turkey. After 40 years, this has not
even started, making one wonder if it ever will.

But two recent developments could potentially change the dynamic by
turning Turkish Cypriots against the status quo: (1) their frustration
at being excluded from the incipient gas and oil bonanza on the island
and (2) their growing resentment toward the ever-more autocratic
Islamist overlords in Ankara. As the occupation is ostensibly for
their benefit, if Turkish Cypriots want it ended, they just might make
it happen.

Also to note: the Republic of Cyprus (the southern, official part of
the island) has, as I put it in recent article titles, both stepped on
the world stage and joined the Middle East. It held the presidency of
the European Union, prompted a world-shaking economic crisis, is
becoming a significant energy exporter, and has newly-close links to
Israel, the military powerhouse of its region. The “Cyprus Problem”
now matters more to the outside world, which could be constructive.

The occupation that began on July 20, 1974, still brings much
suffering to what could be an idyllic Mediterranean island. It must be
but a memory by the time the fiftieth rolls around.

Occupation and even wholesale slaughter was not a new concept for the
Turkish government. During World War I, the government of the Ottoman
Empire killed approximately 1.5 million Armenians through mass
shootings, forced marches, exposure, and starvation. It could not have
taken place without WWI, which radicalized Turkish public opinion and
freed the “Young Turks” from the constraints of international law. But
the stage for genocide was set on February 8, 1914, when Europe’s
Great Powers forced the Turks to accept reforms they viewed as an
existential threat.

An ancient ethnic group attested as far back as the sixth century BCE,
the Armenians weathered the rise and fall of empires for millennia
before the Ottoman Turks finally conquered the multiethnic Caucasus
region in the 16th century CE. During the heyday of the Ottoman
Empire, the Christian Armenians enjoyed considerable religious freedom
and legal autonomy under the Ottoman “millet” system, which allowed
religious minority groups to live by their own traditional laws.

Central Bank of Armenia, Harvard University Initiate Unique Program

Yerevan. OREANDA-NEWS . July 23, 2014. In the scope of a promising
cooperation established between the Central Bank of Armenia and the
Harvard University, the CBA initiated a unique program by hosting
three interns from the University – Jordan Bryant, Juan Aparicio and
Daniel Gibbs, who are taking their internship in the Dilijan Research
and Training Center.

The students have already managed to have meetings and discussions
with representatives of local and international financial
organizations and be informed about the economic situation in Armenia.

Throughout their two-months internship, the students will conduct
research works on Armenian economic issues worth of attention,
focusing particularly on the topics Possible Effects of Harmonization
on Financial Services Sector, Effects of Economic Integration on
Bilateral FDI Flows and Determinants of the Attitudes Towards Regional
Integration. Moreover, Jordan Bryants internship is organized in the
Legal Department, and Daniel Gibbs and Juan Aparicio are interns in
the Economic Research Department.

Is the Grass Greener in Pro-EU Georgia?

A border corssing between Armenia and Georgia

BY MARIANNA GRIGORYAN
>From EurasiaNet

It only requires a glance at the dance-floor showdown in the Soviet
cult-comedy “Mimino” to see that competition between the tiny
South-Caucasus neighbors of Georgia and Armenia can run strong. No
less so with economic alliances.

“I had the same feeling for Georgia today as many years ago with
regard to the Baltic countries [when they joined the European Union in
2004] — regret, jealousy and pain . . .” bitterly commented
60-year-old Yerevan historian Anahit Chilingarian on June 27, when
Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine signed historic pacts with the EU.

Until last fall, many Armenians believed that their country, too, like
Georgia, was headed toward an association agreement and free-trade
deal with the European Union. Then, on September 3, 2013, Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan unexpectedly announced Armenia’s
“willingness” to join the trade-club seen as the EU-alternative — a
customs union with Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Now, while Georgia celebrates its closer ties with the EU, Armenia
appears to be still in the Customs Union’s waiting room.

On July 1, the latest in a series of deadlines for Armenia’s
CU-readiness, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the
membership-agreement had been dispatched to fellow Customs-Union
members Belarus and Kazakhstan for approval, and that Armenia would
join the bloc “in the nearest future,” RIA Novosti reported.

The next day, Kazakhstan’s foreign minister, Erlan Irdisov, crept
closer to an exact date for a signed agreement, naming this October as
a possibility, Interfax-Kazakhstan reported.

Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian told journalists last week
that “something will be clear after July 3,” but did not exclude
additional delays, news outlets reported.

That haziness has prompted some younger Armenians to charge that
Yerevan is headed back into the Soviet past, when ultimate
decision-making power rested with Moscow. By contrast, they believe
that Georgia’s decade of reforms, particularly its aggressive
anti-corruption campaign, looks more to the future.

In a country that takes pride in a string of superlatives – site of
the world’s oldest winery; the first state to adopt Christianity –
that perceived difference galls many.

“The bad thing is that our intellect and everything is more fit for
Europe than that of the Georgians,” complained 26-year-old youth
counselor Parandzem Hovhannissian, expressing a common prejudice. “We
just have no other option because of the stupid policy of our
authorities.”

But others see no advantage to swapping an historical ally for Europe.

“The Customs Union and Russia are the best option for Armenia, which
is in a state of war…,” asserted 52-year-old Vahram Mkrtumian, an
unemployed Yerevan resident, in reference to the 26-year-long conflict
with Azerbaijan over the territory of Nagorno Karabakh. “Who needs
Europe with its distorted morals? [Russian President Vladimir] Putin
is strong; he will keep us safe.”

Twenty-seven-year-old hairdresser Lusine Hovakimian agreed. “I want my
children to live in a normal country where a woman is a woman, and a
man is a man, with no stupid gender issues and Eurovision Conchitas,”
she asserted in reference to the 2014 pop-music competition’s Austrian
drag-singer winner.

Pro-government TV, which routinely promotes Yerevan’s alliance with
Russia, plays a role in viewers’ Euro-skepticism, but sociologist
Aharon Adibekian believes that most Armenians support the Customs
Union because so many depend on remittances from Russia.

According to Central Bank data, as of this May, individuals in Russia
had dispatched to Armenia $120.4 million in private money transfers,
or 83.2 percent of the total amount received. Overall, such transfers
accounted for 17.3 percent of the country’s 2013 Gross Domestic
Product of $10.43 billion.

“Many people link their lives, incomes, and everything with Russia,
and it has its explanation,” Adibekian noted.

In April 2014, 55-percent of roughly 2,000 Armenians surveyed by the
Caucasus Research Resource Centers said that they “fully” or “rather”
support joining Russia’s Eurasian Union; 41 percent backed the EU.

Yet Conchita or no, the Armenian government is trying to maintain ties
with the EU and to cultivate business opportunities in Georgia, which
serves as Armenia’s main corridor for exports and imports, including
from Russia.

On June 18, during an official visit to Tbilisi, Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan expressed confidence that the two countries joining
opposite economic blocs will enhance the opportunities for Armenian
and Georgian businesspeople alike.

“Armenia’s membership in the Customs Union opens up perspectives for
investments in Armenia for Georgian businesspeople, who have or wish
to have a market in the Russian Federation or any other country of the
Customs Union,” he predicted.

Other Armenians see perspectives in Georgia aside from business.

“Years ago, when someone was traveling to Georgia, everyone would warn
them to be careful,” recollected 37-year-old Lusine Aleksanian,
speaking of the early post-Soviet era when crime and corruption ran
amuck in Georgia. “But now Georgia is changing with big steps, and I
am happy to have the possibility to travel there and to see that.”

Historian Chilingarian believes that successful protests by young
Armenians against perceived abuses of power by officials – land-use
and higher public transportation fees in Yerevan – show that Armenia,
as well, can reinvent itself.

“Civil society, represented by young people, is increasingly raising
its voice and finding solutions,” she said. “I hope we will one day
stand up for similar great changes.”

“Una cena armena” al Cortona Mix Festival

Chiesa di S. Antonio – Cortona (Arezzo)
DOMENICA 27 LUGLIO 2014, h. 17.00

Nell’ambito del Cortona Mix Festival promosso dal Gruppo Feltrinelli,
dalla Regione Toscana e dal Comune di Cortona, in programma nella
cittadina toscana tra il 26 luglio e il 3 agosto, andrà in scena
domenica 27 luglio nella chiesa di S. Antonio lo spettacolo di Paola
Ponti Una cena armena, con Danilo Nigrelli e Rosa Diletta Rossi. Lo
spettacolo è ispirato al libro di Sonya Orfalian “La cucina d’Armenia.
Viaggio nella cultura culinaria di un popolo” (ediz. Ponte alle
Grazie).

Può lo sterminio di un popolo non lasciare traccia? Può, una volta
stabilita la veridicità dell’accaduto, non averne il riconoscimento
unanime? Può, un evento simile, essere interiorizzato e perdonato? Una
cena armena è la volontà di affrontare, raccontare e superare una
grande tragedia della portata dei più noti stermini che, purtroppo,
hanno fatto storia, attraverso gli occhi di due generazioni a
confronto e le rispettive tradizioni culinarie.

Una cena armena è una pièce di Paola Ponti nata dall’incontro di
Màlbeck Teatro con Sonya Orfalian. Negli anni Settanta, dopo il colpo
di Stato di Gheddafi, la Orfalian ha trovato asilo in Italia, dove ha
coltivato la ricerca attorno alle proprie radici culturali. Qui ha
scritto il testo da cui lo spettacolo attinge e a cui si mescola, La
Cucina d’Armenia, che custodisce, insieme alle oltre centotrenta
ricette, le radici di una intera cultura, offesa e misconosciuta, ma
non per questo meno ricca di tradizioni.

Attraverso gli ingredienti della tradizione, che permettono
all’autrice la ricostruzione della vita quotidiana in terra d’Armenia,
prende forma il passato del padre, armeno palestinese, rifugiato in
terra di Libia e vissuto senza avere mai avuto una cittadinanza, né un
passaporto, ma solo un lasciapassare verde con la scritta:
“Palestinian Refugee in Libya”.

Così, dando sfogo al ricordo di luoghi, usi, proverbi, leggende e
ricorrenze, si mescola il peso dolce a quello amaro di un’eredità da
onorare. Una cena armena racconta la storia di due generazioni che
hanno la forza di guardarsi in faccia, di affrontarsi e di passarsi il
testimone. La regia è affidata a Danilo Nigrelli che, insieme con la
giovane Rosa Diletta Rossi, ne ha anche interpretato il testo. Danilo
è Aram, Rosa Diletta è Nina, rispettivamente un signore armeno e una
ragazzina italiana, i quali destini si incrociano in una notte
qualunque, al calore dell’ojàkh, il focolare, mentre fuori impazza una
tormenta di neve. I due personaggi si muovono nello spazio come due
bestie in gabbia, che lentamente cominciano ad annusarsi. Entrambi
nascondono un mistero, entrambi con lo stesso profondo bisogno di
conoscere le proprie origini. Una cena armena è una commedia dolorosa
e insieme divertente, a tratti comica, a tratti profondamente
commovente. È la summa di due storie, antitetiche e insieme riflesso
l’una dell’altra, che hanno alla fine la forza di guardarsi, di
affrontarsi e di passarsi il testimone, stemperando, attraverso il
cucinare insieme, le oscurità del proprio passato.

Armenia Looks to Technology to Secure Border

Thursday, July 24th, 2014

Armenia’s Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian visits a military outpost on
the border with Azerbaijan

YEREVAN (RFE/RL)–Armenia has been putting in place “engineering
facilities” along with other measures to prevent attempts by
Azerbaijani sabotage groups to infiltrate into its territory,
according to Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian.

In an interview with RFE/RL’s Armenian Service (Azatutyun.am) on
Thursday Ohanian acknowledged, however, that advanced systems are not
available at all sections of the border with Azerbaijan, especially in
the areas where they would be exposed to enemy fire.

Installing such expensive security equipment at sections exposed to
constant ceasefire violations is simply not expedient, the minister
explained.

But there is an opportunity to install security systems “where there
is no immediate aggressiveness of the enemy and where the positions of
the sides are far apart” so as to also ensure the expensive equipment
does not get damaged or destroyed, he added.

Concerns over the possibility of Azerbaijani commando units’ or
sabotage groups’ infiltrating into Armenian territory increased in
Armenia in the last couple of weeks amid a major incursion reported
near Nagorno-Karabakh.

The Artsakh Republic’s authorities said last week a group of
Azerbaijanis had been arrested in the region on suspicion of espionage
and subversive activities. The Nagorno-Karabakh police force said the
group members had killed one military serviceman and severely wounded
a civilian. Another local teenager, it said, had been kidnapped and
then brutally murdered by the alleged Azerbaijani saboteurs.

Still last week Minister Ohanian emphasized that none of the
Azerbaijanis who had managed to infiltrate into the Karvachar
(Kelbajar) district near Nagorno-Karabakh, could cross into Armenia.

Speaking about the use of new technologies, the minister said that to
make them more affordable for the purpose of securing the border,
efforts are underway to ensure the availability of locally produced
types of such devices. Some of which, he added, are at the stage of
testing at present.

“We certainly cooperate with all the organizations that either make
offers or work on our request. We particularly cooperate with
enterprises working in the information technology sector,” Ohanian
said.

Meanwhile, Executive Director of the Union of Information Technology
Enterprises Karen Vardanian said that the current cooperation between
the Defense Ministry and IT companies did not seem satisfactory to
him.

“We have good relations with the Defense Ministry. Their
representatives come and attend our technology displays and
exhibitions. But there is no strategic approach,” he complained.

Vartanian said that today Armenia does develop technologies that can
serve the cause of keeping the borders safe. “Moreover, Armenia
exports these technologies and a number of companies even work for the
military-industrial complexes of other countries,” he added.

PRESSE TURQUE
Réflexion sur un grand gouvernement par Ihsan Aktas

Avec des titres internationaux comme . Principalement, la politique de la nouvelle
Turquie peut être résumée par un retour à son ancienne zone
géographique et géopolitique et la prise de sa place dans le peloton
de tête parmi les pays du monde.

La Turquie est axée sur la création d’un nouvel Etat en 1923. Elle a
agi comme quelqu’un qui a vécu dans une grande maison et soudainement
transportée dans une petite maison. C’est ce qui s’est passé en
Turquie après l’effondrement de l’Empire ottoman. Ceci peut être
compris dans le contexte des conditions extérieures et de
l’environnement d’un pays qui était fatigué de se battre. Cependant,
dans les années suivantes, la Turquie s’est habitué à la vie avec son
petit agenda.

Le cercle restreint a tourné la Turquie en un pays qui a été écrasé
entre les grandes puissances. La vision de la nouvelle Turquie, qui a
commencé avec le Parti AKP, ne tient pas compte du passé récent et
retourne à la mission historique de la Turquie. Alors que les petits
pays sont occupés par leurs vides programmes internes, les grandes
puissances résolvent leurs problèmes raisonnablement.

La vision par l’AKP de la nouvelle en Turquie est basée sur
l’expérience européenne.

Avec la perspective d’une nouvelle Turquie, la Turquie se concentre
principalement sur la résolution de problèmes complexes afin de faire
rejaillir sa grande puissance. Cela a commencé avec des projets de
développement sur une grande échelle pour assurer la Turquie sa place
parmi les pays de première classe du monde, avec un certain nombre des
réformes économiques en utilisant le processus d’adhésion de l’Union
européenne comme levier.

Cela a posé une perception politique visant à briser la lourde
influence bureaucratique sur les citoyens. A cette stratégie s’ajoute
la politique économique libérale de l’AKP visant à renforcer
l’économie et ouvrant la voie pour les entrepreneurs et les
investisseurs.

Toutes ces réformes visent à faire de la Turquie une grande puissance
et de se concentrer sur résoudre les problèmes à l’avance en prenant
l’initiative, au lieu d’être un pays qui dérive entre les vagues
géo-stratégiques de la politique extérieure.

La question arménienne a été l’un des domaines problématiques qui a
toujours posé un obstacle pour la Turquie comme pays digne de
confiance dans le monde. Il n’était pas possible que la Turquie
devienne un pays respectable si elle avait poursuivi ses politiques
traditionnelles de l’État-nation. Pour parvenir à son objectif de se
faire respecter par la Société des Nations, il était essentiel d’avoir
une économie de rang mondial, une démocratie de première classe et un
état politique en paix avec son peuple.

Après son arrivée au pouvoir, l’AKP a choisi cette vision. Cette
politique, connue sous le nom de vision 2023, vise à faire de la
République de Turquie un pays de première classe à l’occasion de son
100e anniversaire. Alors que le monde a été aux prises avec la crise
économique, la Turquie est devenue résistante aux chocs économiques
externes.

À la suite de réformes politiques, la démocratie de troisième classe
de la Turquie est devenue une démocratie de première classe. L’AKP a
adopté une politique qui a fait du peuple le réel gardien de l’État.
Faisant la paix avec les peuples du Moyen-Orient, la Turquie est
devenue l’acteur le plus important dans la région.

Il n’était pas possible de résoudre la question arménienne par des
réflexions nationalistes qui ne créent que des pannes émotionnelles.
La déclaration faite par le premier ministre était le reflet de la
Turquie d’être un grand état. Après l’opération du 17 décembre,
certains ont cru que nous allions regarder l’effondrement d’un empire.
Mais au contraire, nous assistons à la renaissance d’un empire de ses
cendres.

Antisémitisme
Belgique : « L’Entrée est autorisée aux chiens mais aux sionistes en
aucune façon »

Hier matin, mercredi 23 juillet, dans la ville de Saint-Nicolas,
(province de Flandre-orientale), près de Liège (Belgique), le
propriétaire d’origine turque du café Anadolu s’est rendu coupable
d’un acte délibéré d’antisémitisme en placardant sur sa devanture, en
turc : « Les chiens peuvent entrer mais les juifs JAMAIS ! ». Juste Ã
côté, sous le drapeau de l’État d’Israël, barré d’une croix rouge, il
était inscrit « L’entrée est autorisée aux chiens mais aux sionistes
en aucune façon ! ».

Ce fait abject, faisant référence aux heures les plus sombres de
l’Allemagne nazie, a sans nul doute pris sa source dans la non moins
ignominieuse déclaration du premier ministre turc Erdogan, qualifiant
l’État hébreux de « surpasser Hitler en barbarie ».

Avant l’arrivée de la police, alertée par le Bourgmestre Jacques
Heleven, le responsable du café a fait disparaître les objets du
délit.

La Ligue belge contre l’antisémitisme (LBCA) a été saisie de la
publication de cette « mise en garde » et va intenter une action en
justice.

Joël Runbinfeld, ancien président du Comité de coordination des
organisations juives de Belgique (CCOJB), Vice-président du Parti
populaire, a déclaré Ã la suite de cet incident : « L’inscription en
turc que l’on voit sur cette vitrine est différente : `Dans ce
commerce les chiens sont autorisés, mais les Juifs, jamais’, est-il
écrit. Ils vont plus loin que les nazis en réduisant les juifs en
dessous du statut des chiens. C’est la résultante de la dynamique que
l’on observe en Turquie où, sous l’impulsion d’Erdogan s’est instauré
comme un antisémitisme d’Etat ».

Début janvier 2009, dans la ville d’EskiÃ…?ehir, en Turquie, les juifs
et les Arméniens à la même `enseigne` : `L’entrée est interdite …
aux Juifs et … aux Arméniens, mais les chiens sont les bienvenus`…
