Un santo armeno diventa dottore della Chiesa. Nell’udienza di
sabato scorso con il cardinale Prefetto della Congregazione delle
cause dei santi, Papa Francesco ha approvato la decisione espressa
dalla plenaria dei cardinali e vescovi del dicasteri e ha stabilito
che venga conferito il titolo di “dottore della Chiesa universale”
a Gregorio di Narek.

Sacerdote e monaco nato ad Andzevatsik (allora Armenia, ora Turchia)
circa nel 950 e morto a Narek (allora Armenia, ora Turchia) circa nel
1005, Gregorio di Narek era nato in una famiglia di scrittori. Il
padre, Khosrov, è stato arcivescovo. Dopo aver perso la madre in
tenera eta, Gregorio era stato educato dalla cugina, Anania di Narek,
fondatrice della scuola e del villaggio. Il santo ha vissuto gran parte
della sua vita nei monasteri di Narek (in quella che era chiamata
la Grande Armenia), dove insegnava presso la scuola monastica. È
considerato uno dei più importanti poeti della letteratura armena.

Il culto di san Gregorio di Narek è previsto nel martirologio romano
il giorno 27 febbraio, dov’è definito “monaco, dottore degli Armeni,
insigne per la dottrina, gli scritti e la scienza mistica”.

La decisione papale arriva a poche settimane di distanza dalla
celebrazione che il 12 aprile Francesco terra in San Pietro per
ricordare il centenario del massacro degli armeni (Medz Yeghern)
avvenuto nel 1915.

Futbol: Alianza Lima: Mauro Guevgeozian Y Su Posible Salida Del Equi

ALIANZA LIMA: MAURO GUEVGEOZIAN Y SU POSIBLE SALIDA DEL EQUIPO

Perú.com
23 feb 2015

El delantero ‘blanquiazul’ debe estar preparado para cualquier
sorpresa. A pesar de sus importantes actuaciones, el ‘armenio’ ha
demostrado lo que vale.

Mucho se rumorea de su posible salida del plantel debido a sus
malas actuaciones que ha realizado con camiseta ‘blanquiazul’. Sin
embargo, luego de anotar frente a Sport Loreto (gol que le dio el
triunfo a Alianza Lima), el delantero ha sido cuestionado por su
bajo rendimiento.

Ante ello, Guillermo Sanguinetti, tecnico aliancista, sabe que el
atacante es una pieza fundamental en el once titular y, hara saber
a la directiva ‘grone’, que no lo dejen libre por que luego no habra
marcha atras.

Los hinchas aliancista han mostrado su total respaldo al ‘huevo’
por las tantas alegrías que regalo en la última temporada.

De concretarse este hecho, el reemplazo sería Wilmer Aguiire,
exdelantero ‘blanquiazul, quien brillo con la camiseta de Alianza
Lima en la temporada 2010, donde destaco de manera internacional
frente a Estudiantes de la Plata por la Copa Libertadores.

Xavier Moret Afirma Que El Dolor Del Genocidio Armenio "Persiste Cie

XAVIER MORET AFIRMA QUE EL DOLOR DEL GENOCIDIO ARMENIO “PERSISTE CIEN ANOS DESPUES”

EuroNews, EU
22 feb 2015

EFE, 22/02 12:55 CET

Barcelona, 22 feb (EFE).- El periodista Xavier Moret siempre tuvo
interes por Armenia, un lugar “lejano y literario”. Desde joven había
leído sobre el país, su diaspora o el genocidio que sufrio en 1915.

Sin embargo, no piso esta tierra caucasica hasta abril de 2013,
como cuenta en su nuevo libro, “La memoria del Ararat”.

En una entrevista con Efe comenta que, acompañado por el fotografo
Alfons Rodríguez, viajo en busca de las raíces armenias, encontrandose
con sus gentes, sus montañas, sus monasterios y viendo en el horizonte
la montaña del Ararat, que aunque actualmente pertenezca a Turquía
sigue considerandose el símbolo nacional.

Como es habitual en cada una de sus múltiples salidas, el escritor
intenta hablar con personas originarias de la zona o que tengan que
ver con ella antes de partir y, una vez allí, camina por las calles,
se acerca a los mercados y conversa con sus habitantes.

Todos los armenios con los que trato antes del viaje y que eran hijos
de la diaspora hablaban maravillas, pero el pudo contrastar aquella
Armenia con la real, “que no es tan perfecta como la que sueñan”
y con una capital, Erevan, “muy segura, pero donde reina la pobreza
y la miseria”.

En este punto de la conversacion, Xavier Moret rememora que viven
en la Armenia de 2015 unos tres millones de personas, aunque un 40
por ciento desearía emigrar, y otros siete millones de armenios se
encuentran diseminados por el mundo, en países tan diferentes como
Argentina o Uruguay, Francia y Canada.

Todos ellos, sin embargo, coinciden en estar “muy marcados por el
genocidio que sufrieron en 1915”, que acabo con un millon y medio de
muertos en territorio turco.

Subraya que esta “gran matanza les pesa”, que es todavía, cien años
mas tarde, una herida abierta, y agrega que todas las familias cuentan
con alguna víctima. “Y lo peor -prosigue- es que el mundo no la ha
reconocido, el dolor persiste y pasa de generacion en generacion”.

En el libro, publicado por Ediciones Península, relata como en
Erevan cada 24 de abril se conmemora el aniversario de la masacre
ante un monumento que cuando llego a la ciudad se encontraba en “una
explanada desierta” y ese día se convierte en “un mar tumultuoso de
memoria y solidaridad”.

Una multitud sube durante la jornada hasta el lugar, donde dejaran
flores hasta el atardecer en recuerdo del millon y medio de muertos,
lo que provoca una montaña de mas de dos metros de altura, que dos
días despues sera recogida por grupos de niños, que separan los
petalos y los reciclan para hacer papel.

Xavier Moret, en este indagar por la historia armenia, tambien pudo
conversar con Movses Haneshanyan, quien a sus 103 años de edad,
en aquel momento era uno de los pocos supervivientes del genocidio,
y quien de viva voz le conto como grupos de armenios cavaban con sus
manos las rasas en las que luego serían enterrados tras ser asesinados
por los turcos.

Su padre pudo salvarse porque, acabada la rasa en Musa Dagh, le
hicieron caminar por el desierto hacia Siria y allí se topo con un
arabe al que conocía, quien pago dinero a los turcos para liberarlo.

Moret tambien se muestra impresionado por la historia del abuelo de
Shushan, una argentina-armenia, quien le explico que este hombre,
en el momento del genocidio, había sobrevivido escondido durante una
semana dentro de la barriga de un asno, “sin atreverse a salir ante
el horror que veía”.

Shushan y su familia conocieron esta vivencia gracias a un dietario que
descubrieron a la muerte del abuelo, porque el, instalado en Argentina
despues de aquello, nunca quiso hablar de lo ocurrido en 1915.

Preguntado sobre como ve el futuro del país, Xavier Moret espera que
reviva de alguna manera, especialmente si apuesta por la cultura,
aunque no obvia que hoy la lucha es “por la supervivencia economica
y en contra de la corrupcion”.

ANKARA: Lawyer Asks Why Testimony Of Police Intel Chief Not Taken In

LAWYER ASKS WHY TESTIMONY OF POLICE INTEL CHIEF NOT TAKEN IN DINK MURDER TRIAL

Today’s Zaman, Turkey
Feb 23 2015

February 23, 2015, Monday/ 17:55:21/
by FARUK ALAN / ISTANBUL

A lawyer representing a police officer who was detained in January in
an ongoing probe into the 2007 murder of Turkish-Armenian journalist
Hrant Dink has questioned why the current head of the National Police
Department’s intelligence unit has not been summoned to testify,
despite being the top official responsible for the failure to prevent
the murder from taking place.

As the investigation into Dink’s murder deepens, eyes are now on
the chief of the National Police Department’s intelligence unit,
Engin Dinc, who headed the intelligence unit in Trabzon at the time
of the killing, after several people working under him were arrested
on charges of involvement in the murder.

Three police officers who worked under Dinc in the intelligence unit
of the Trabzon Police Department were arrested in January as part of
an expanded probe into Dink’s murder. Dinc has since been promoted and
is now the chief of the National Police Department’s intelligence unit.

Speaking with Today’s Zaman, Zafer Kiremitci — the lawyer of Ozkan
Mumcu, one of the three officers arrested in January — said it was
Dinc who warned the İstanbul Police Department’s intelligence unit
chief, İlhan Guler, about Dink’s possible assassination in a report.

“His [Dinc’s] signature is on the intelligence report. Where is Engin
Dinc, who appointed Erhan Tuncel [another suspect in the murder trial]
as an informant for the Trabzon Police Department, although he should
not have done this?” Kiremitci said.

Tuncel is accused of initiating efforts to have Dink murdered.

Lawyer Kiremitci also asked: “Is the fact that the testimony of Engin
Dinc has not been taken yet a result of a failure of the law or a
result of a relationship based on self-interest?”

Reiterating that Mumcu was serving his compulsory military service at
the time of Dink’s murder, Kiremitci said it is highly questionable
that Mumcu was arrested when he was not even on duty during the murder,
while Dinc has not yet been summoned to testify in the trial, although
he is the person who signed an intelligence note in which he warns
about a possible Dink murder.

The three police officials — Ercan Demir, Ozkan Mumcu and Muhittin
Zenit — said in their testimonies that Dinc was the highest authority
at the Trabzon Police Department’s intelligence unit.

According to a report in the Taraf daily late in January, Demir,
in his testimony, said, “The authority to inform provincial police
departments about suspects or conduct operations against suspects
belonged to Engin [Dinc].”

Zenit and Trabzon Police Department Deputy Commissioner Mumcu were
arrested on Jan. 13 on charges of negligence and misconduct in Dink’s
murder. An İstanbul court arrested former Cizre Police Chief Ercan
Demir, who turned himself in on Monday after a warrant for his
detention was issued on Jan. 16.

Dink was shot and killed by an ultranationalist teenager. The hitman,
Ogun Samast, and 18 others were brought to trial. Since then,
the lawyers for the Dink family and co-plaintiffs in the case have
presented evidence indicating that Samast did not act alone. Another
suspect, Yasin Hayal, was given life in prison for inciting Samast
to commit murder.

Prosperous Armenia MP: There Will Be Decisions Unexpected To Many

PROSPEROUS ARMENIA MP: THERE WILL BE DECISIONS UNEXPECTED TO MANY

16:22, 24.02.2015

YEREVAN. – There will be decisions that may be unexpected to many,
non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party National Assembly (PAP NA)
Faction member Vahan Babayan toldArmenian News-NEWS.am.

“In the coming days, the society will see that the PAP faction and
party will continue its activity as normal,” Babayan said. “The PAP
has things to do and, at any rate, it will give the answers to the
issues of concern to society in the coming days.”

To our query as to precisely for whom will these decisions be
“unexpected,” the PAP MP responded: “The pressing issue in politics
is our voters. And I believe that the PAP, being the second [largest]
political force in Armenia, shall have things to say to its voter,
and it needs to be consistent also within the framework of the
implementation of its election program.”

As reported earlier, speaking at the February 12 meeting of the ruling
Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) Board, President Serzh Sargsyan,
who is also chairman of the RPA Board, had stated that PAP Chairman,
MP and oligarch Gagik Tsarukyan had become a vice for the country as
a political player. He also relieved the PAP leader from his status as
a National Security Council (NSC) member, and promised that a process
will begin in connection with Tsarukyan’s frequent absence from the
parliament sessions.

In response to President Sargsyan’s remarks, Gagik Tsarukyan issued
a statement, on February 13, that the incumbent authorities must be
removed from power immediately. Reflecting on Sargsyan having him
removed from the NSC, the PAP leader noted that he had not left this
council earlier solely because of the President’s personal request. As
for the plans to strip him of his parliamentary mandate, Tsarukyan said
the important thing for him is the trust of the Armenian citizens,
and therefore he possesses the most important mandate. In addition,
the Prosperous Armenia Party chairman urged to achieve Serzh Sargsyan’s
resignation, but by way of lawful political methods.

To this day, however, the PAP has not made any statement with respect
to its future courses of action. Solely, PAP NA Faction Secretary Naira
Zohrabyan announced, on Monday in the parliament, that their faction
will be boycotting the four-day session of the National Assembly.

What Is Behind Confusion On Turkey’s Gallipoli Commemorations?

WHAT IS BEHIND CONFUSION ON TURKEY’S GALLIPOLI COMMEMORATIONS?

17:07, 24.02.2015

YEREVAN. – The information which Today’s Zaman English-language
daily of Turkey had disseminated, and with respect to the country’s
cancelation of the centennial commemorations of the Battle of
Gallipoli, was directed against the Turkish authorities.

Armenian turkologist Andranik Ispiryan noted the aforementioned at
a press conference on Tuesday.

First, Ispiryan noted that even though this was very important news,
no other Turkish periodical reprinted it, which the Turkish websites
usually do in the case of important and urgent news.

“Also interesting is the fact that this news was written by an
Azerbaijani citizen female journalist who had recently moved to
Istanbul, and before moving to Turkey, she worked in an Azerbaijan TV
company,” the turkologist said. “In her article, the girl presents
fairly extensive information about the [Armenian] Genocide, which
[i.e. the information] they never do in the Turkish press.”

As per Ispiryan, however, the most important is the fact that Today’s
Zaman belongs to Fethullah Gulen–a Turkish Islamic opinion leader who
currently lives in a self-imposed exile in the United States–, who is
the number one political enemy of Turkey’s incumbent authorities. The
turkologist stated that this fact is the most important in all this,
since the Turkish halls of power have repeatedly accused Gulen’s
movement of funding the pro-Armenian members of the US Congress.

“In addition, Today’s Zaman is in English, and [therefore] this
article is aimed at the foreign audience,” the speaker added.

Ispiryan also did not rule out the fact that the Turkish ruling
elite had held discussions on canceling the Gallipoli commemorations
stressing that this matter depends largely on which case Turkey will
suffer more damage; if it holds, or cancels this event.

“That is, Turkey’s choice will be between the bad and the worst,”
the turkologist concluded.

As reported earlier, speaking to Today’s Zaman English-language
daily of Turkey, an official from the Turkish government, who had
asked to remain anonymous, had said the centennial commemorations of
the Battle of Gallipoli, in 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 the Armenian genocide–had
been canceled due to the unwillingness of international leaders to
visit Ankara and overshadow the genocide ceremonies in Yerevan.

“The Gallipoli celebrations have been canceled. 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,” the official
had stated.

The Turkish MFA, however, had dismissed the aforesaid information.

Speaking to Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul, the MFA sources
had informed that the Gallipoli commemorations will be held on April
24, as planned.
