Dans une resolution decisive adoptee par la National Women’s Labor
Conference (Conference Nationale du Travail des Femmes) a Brisbane,
Queensland, les delegues se sont prononces pour ‘reconnaître dans le
genocide des Armeniens, des Hellènes et des Assyro-Chaldeens de 1915
a 1923, l’un des plus grands crimes contre l’humanite’.

Dans le prolongement du thème de la conference – ‘Femmes au Travail :
initiative, defi, inspiration – les delegues de toutes les branches
de l’Austalian Labor Party de tout le pays (‘Parti Travailliste’
australien) ont egalement reconnu que les genocides des Armeniens, des
Hellènes et des Assyro-Chaldeens font partie integrante de l’histoire
de l’Australie, dont les femmes australiennes en ont invite, defie
et inspire d’autres.

Dans son discours de deleguee et de presidente de Return to Anatolia
(retour en Anatolie), Mme Sofia Kotanidis : ‘reconnaissance et
enseignement sont aussi les meilleurs moyens pour developper la
comprehension, celle du passe et celle du present. La comprehension
empeche le developement de la haine qui mène au genocide.

‘Ce n’est qu’en informant des crimes du passe qu’on peut eviter
leur repetition. C’est pour cela que la Shoah des Juifs, le sort des
Aborigènes d’Australie et d’autres genocides font partie du système
educatif d’enseignement secondaire et superieur.’

Les femmes australiennes etaient a la pointe des actions pour reunir
des fonds et pour l’aide humanitaire aux survivants de genocide.

C’etait le premier mouvement de secours international et les femmes
y etaient en première ligne.

Les Australiens ont par exemple soutenu financièrement l’Orphelinat de
garcons armeniens Antelias de Beyrout, au Liban, pendant plus d’une
decennie. Selon le Secretaire du Fonds de Secours aux Armeniens de
l’epoque, Dora Cohen, “beaucoup d’Australiens visitant l’Orphelinat
Antelias ont ete emus de voir le drapeau de “La Croix du Sud” flotter
au sommet de l’edifice.”

Le fondateur du Soroptimist Club (‘le meilleur pour les femmes’)
d’Australie – Edith Glanville – agissait dans les annees 1920 et 1930.

Elle a voyage a travers le monde, y compris en Grèce et en Syrie,
eveillant l’attention sur la detresse des femmes et des enfants denues
de tout.

Eleanor Vokes Mackinon, fondatrice de la Croix-Rouge australienne, est
intervenue auprès de l’Assemblee Generale de la Societe des Nations
en decrivant l’action du secours australien. Jessie Webb et Hilda
King ont travaille dans les camps de refugies de Grèce et de Syrie,
donnant en particulier aux survivants du Genocide Assyro-Chaldeen
une chance de refaire leur vie.

On peit dire que la plus importante parmi elles a ete Joyce Nankivell
Loch. Nee près d’Ingham, dans le Queensland, ayant grandi a Melbourne,
elle a vecu parmi les survivants du Genocide Hellène de 1922 a sa mort
en 1981. A la fin de la Première Guerre Mondiale, elle a travaille
avec des refugies en Pologne. Pendant la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale,
elle a contribue a la fuite de Juifs hors de l’Europe occupee par les
nazis vers la Palestine. Elle a consacre le reste de sa vie d’adulte
a Oranoupolis, une petite ville près du Mont Athos, plus connu sous
le nom de Montagne Sainte.

Georgia: The Javakheti Region’s Integration Challenges

GEORGIA: THE JAVAKHETI REGION’S INTEGRATION CHALLENGES

Europe Briefing N°6323 May 2011

OVERVIEW

The mostly Armenian-populated Javakheti region, along the southern
border with Armenia and Turkey, has been a potential flashpoint since
Georgia’s 1991 independence, when a paramilitary group practically ran
it, and physical links with the rest of the country were weak. After
the 2008 Georgia-Russia war, many outside observers, recalling that
there had been violent demonstrations in Javakheti in 2005 and 2006,
predicted it would be the next to seek autonomy – or more. But the
situation has stabilised. Tbilisi has successfully implemented programs
to increase the region’s ties to the rest of the country, stopped
projects that were seen as discriminatory and reduced the influence
of the few remaining radical groups. It should maintain this momentum
and take additional steps to guarantee that Javakheti and its 95,000
mainly Armenian speakers feel fully integrated in Georgia and provide
an example of respect for minority rights in a region where minorities
who feel discriminated against have all too often been attracted to
secession, such as in Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Lack of knowledge of the state language (Georgian) and poverty
encourages migration from the region to Armenia and Russia. A paucity
of media reporting on the isolated area helps reinforce feelings of
marginalisation. Many Javakheti residents do not feel like full-fledged
citizens, so prefer to become involved in the political and cultural
life of neighbouring Armenia, whose nationalist groups are quick
to argue that they are the victims of ethnic discrimination due
to Georgian government policies and to amplify their grievances
over poverty, unemployment, education and the lack of formal laws
recognising Armenian as a “regional language” in Javakheti.

However, the current Yerevan authorities are playing a stabilising
role in decreasing tensions and have arrested alleged Javakheti
radicals in Armenia.

Georgia was concerned about Moscow’s intentions in the region,
especially as a major Russian military base – a left-over from the
Soviet era – was located there. Some Russian commentators speculated
that the Kremlin could use its influence in Javakheti to cause
Georgia to renounce its NATO membership aspirations. But the base
was closed in 2007, and Moscow lost more of its ability to manipulate
local grievances the next year, when it committed to Abkhaz and South
Ossetian independence. Nevertheless, in Tbilisi fear that Russia could
use the region to destabilise Georgia has increased since the war,
even though this presently seems highly unlikely.

Although Javakheti poses no immediate threat to Georgia’s territorial
integrity, Tbilisi needs to continue to increase its focus on the
region, so as to build confidence with local leaders and engender
a sense of loyalty towards the state. This would help to avoid
interpretations that the local aspects of nationwide problems, such
as the economy, reflect ethnic discrimination.

To ensure the political stability and sustainable development of
Javakheti and improve regional integration, thereby reducing the
region’s vulnerability to destabilisation, the Georgian government,
with the support of international partners, should:

* provide the public with comprehensive information in Armenian on
its policies and facilitate public discussions on issues, such as
integration, language and human rights; * build the capacities of
educated and motivated local officials, further training them in
public administration while creating an open and restriction-free
environment for local business; * provide long-term budgetary
resources to make educational projects such as multilingual schools,
teacher training, translation of Georgian textbooks into Armenian
and Georgian-as-a-second-language courses more systematised and
sustainable; do more to attract Georgian language teachers to
Javakheti; and give scholarships for higher education to Javakheti
Armenians on condition that they return to teach; * codify current
language and education practices for the minority population in
national legislation; honour the spirit of the European Charter for
Regional and Minority Languages (ECRML) while working toward its
ratification; * encourage more private investment, with a view to
bringing the Javakheti economic ultimately to the national level; and
* offer to fund local television stations’ translations of nationwide
programs, including talk shows, and encourage the public broadcaster
(TV Channels 1 and 2) and other national television stations to
improve coverage of Javakheti.

Nationalist groups and media in Armenia should fully acknowledge
that Javakheti’s residents are Georgian citizens and refrain from
over-politicising sensitive issues by labelling them cases of ethnic
discrimination. Many of Javakheti’s problems are shared by other
isolated regions in Georgia. The donor community and international
organisations should continue to work with Tbilisi to further develop
democratic institutions, judicial independence, rule of law and free
media, with a view to improving stability in Javakheti as in the rest
of Georgia.

Why Did CSTO Decide To Wash Hands Off Karabakh?

WHY DID CSTO DECIDE TO WASH HANDS OFF KARABAKH?
Marina Ananikyan

PanARMENIAN.Net
May 23, 2011 – 20:42 AMT

The statements made during Yerevan-hosted conference titled “CSTO and
South Caucasus: Regional Peace and Security Perspectives” were a clear
message for Azerbaijan. Should Azerbaijan start a new war, Armenia
will have to participate in it, as a guarantor of Artsakh safety.

Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan said in his address to the
conference that Armenia, as a full member of CSTO, has the right to
expect support of its CSTO allies in case of Azerbaijan’s aggression.

Under the CSTO, any aggression against a CSTO member state is viewed
as an aggression against all member states.

Secretary General of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO)
Nikolai Bordyuzha reiterated that Armenia, as a member of CSTO, has
shouldered certain obligations, but the other members of CSTO also
have obligations towards Armenia.

Asked how CSTO will behave in case of possible escalation in the
region, Bordyuzha decided not to make hasty statements, noting that
the Armenian and Russian Presidents do their utmost “to solve this
complicate problem peacefully and reach an agreement with all the
states involved in the Karabakh conflict.” In other words, they try to
prevent a war, which is so desirable for and continuously promised by
Azerbaijan. At the same time, Bordyuzha warned that regular violations
of ceasefire may provoke a conflict, which is extremely undesirable
for CSTO.

Obviously, CSTO, decided to back out in fear of hasty statements.

Experts in CSTO member states, who, obviously, express their
authorities’ views, made statements clearly implying that Armenia
and Karabakh have no reason to expect CSTO support.

CSTO had another surprise to offer: according to Vesti.Az report,
CSTO press-secretary Vladimir Zaynetdinov was unaware of either
Bordyuzha’s or Ohanyan’s statements. As he noted, “at Yerevan-hosted
conference, Seyran Ohanyan expressed Armenia’s support for peaceful
settlement of Karabakh conflict and hopes for CSTO understanding. Our
organisation opposes usage of force in resolving Karabakh issue, with
CSTO Secretary General Nikolai Bordyuzha reiterating his position.”

Thus, it became clear that all the statements suggesting alliance
between CSTO member states were mere words, which may be instantly
forgotten for the sake of own interests. However, Armenia is
capable of guaranteeing both its own and Artsakh’s safety without
OSCE assistance. Moreover, Armenia is ready for victories, while
Azerbaijan, aptly manipulating CSTO, an organization to which it’s not
even affiliated, may lose some of the territories presented by Soviet
rule in 1921, in addition to Karabakh, which never belonged to it.

Armenian Troops Silence Enemy – Defense Ministry

ARMENIAN TROOPS SILENCE ENEMY – DEFENSE MINISTRY

The Armenian armed forces have silenced the Azerbaijani troops in
an attempt to retaliate the enemy, a spokesperson for the Armenian
Defense Minister, David Karapetyan, has said.

Speaking to Tert.am Karapetyan said the Armenian troops have suffered
no losses.

“The reports from Nagorno Karabakh’s defense army suggest that the
enemy has been recently increasing the ceasefire violations.

Only today, it has released over 300 gunshots from snipers and other
arms,” he said.

Zaruhi Postanjyan Sends Letter To Police Chief

ZARUHI POSTANJYAN SENDS LETTER TO POLICE CHIEF

Tert.am
23.05.11

Opposition party Heritage MP Zaruhi Postanjyan has sent a letter to
top Armenian officials, claiming her brother is subjecting to unlawful
actions in detention.

Postanjyan has sent the letters to Police Chief Alik Sargsyan, the
head of Special Investigations Service Andranik Mirzoyan. Copies of
the letter have been sent to Armenia’s Human Rights Defender Karen
Andreasyan, Justice Minister Hrayr Tovmasyan and Chairperson of the
National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan.

In the letter, Postanjyan reminds them that her brother Tigran
Postanjyan has been on a hunger strike for 13 days now at the
Nubarashen penitentiary and demands to immediately launch an
investigation into what she claims “degrading treatment” and
“criminally punitive actions” her brother is being subjected to.

Tigran Postanjyan is accused of “illegally demanding and taking money”
(around 100,000 Armenian drams, around $274) from a state-run agency.

He was arrested on February 23.

Postanjyan says that for 39 days her brother has been kept at a
cell which has 11 beds while there are 19 inmates and therefore the
prisoners have to take turns to sleep.

She also says that both smokers and smokers are kept at the same
cell, the lights in the cell are on for 24 hours a day, there is no
ventilation and the room temperature reaches almost 38 degrees Celsius.

“Due to redundancy of stinging insects Tigran Postanjyan has to sleep
in clothes. As a consequence of holding 19 inmates in a cell that
is designed for 11 there is a permanent noise and reasonable chaos,”
reads the letter.

Zaruhi Postanjyan has largely criticized the ruling authorities over
various issues, including the Karabakh conflict and the tragic events
of March 1, 2008 that left at least 10 killed and dozens wounded
during the political unrest sparked after presidential elections.

Further Postanjyan mentions that the Nubarashen penitentiary does
not have 24-hour water supply and as a result the disgusting smell
of the toilets makes living in those cells impossible.

She also says that the head of the Nubarashen penitentiary Tigran
Navasardyan “hinders her entry” to the cell where the inmates are kept,
“hinders her activities as an MP,” and refuses to mention how many
inmates are being kept in each cell.

In conclusion, Zaruhi Postanjyan says that several laws have been and
are being violated in Nubarashen penitentiary and demands “to start
an immediate investigation and stop the criminally punitive actions
against Tigran Postanjyan”.

Armenia And Georgia To Cooperate In Social Reform System

ARMENIA AND GEORGIA TO COOPERATE IN SOCIAL REFORM SYSTEM

May 24, 2011
YEREVAN

YEREVAN, May 24. / ARKA /. Armenian minister of labor and social
affairs Arthur Grigorian and Georgian minister of health, labor
and social affairs, Andria Urushadze, signed Tuesday in Yerevan a
Memorandum of Cooperation providing for the exchange of experience
in the field of social reforms.

After the signing ceremony Arthur Grigorian told journalists Armenia
is interested in Georgia’s experience in implementing an integrated
‘one window’ system of social services.

“This system was introduced in Georgia four years ago. We are
just beginning this process. We have a good example to follow,”
said Grigorian.

According to him, another area of cooperation will be to ensure social
protection of Armenian citizens working in Georgia, for example,
teachers of Armenian schools in Georgia.

In turn Urushadze noted that Armenia’s experience of pension reforms
may be useful for Georgia.

“With this memorandum we are laying a good foundation for cooperation.

We have similar problems, and we should learn from each other,
” the minister said.

Armenian PM Says New Electoral Code Broadens Opposition’s Powers

ARMENIAN PM SAYS NEW ELECTORAL CODE BROADENS OPPOSITION’S POWERS

/ ARKA /
May 24, 2011
YEREVAN

YEREVAN, May 24. / ARKA /. Chairman of an Armenian parliament committee
on legal issues said today the new Electoral Code has been designed
to broaden the powers of the opposition during elections.

Speaking to reporters, David Harutyunyan said the amended law allows
representatives of parliamentary opposition to join members of
electoral commission to check passports and register voters.

‘Thus, the opposition will be able to control that voters’ lists and
the number of voters coincide, he said.

He spoke to reporters after the National Assembly passed today a set
of amendments to the election law in the second reading. Harutyunyan
said the Armenian Revolutionary Federation/ Dashnaktsutyun did not
endorse these changes.

“It’s rather a political position. We accepted a number of proposals
of the parliamentary opposition, and rejected some others for one
reason or another, or offered alternatives,” he said.

Armen Rustamian, an ARF lawmaker and head of a parliament committee
on foreign relations, said yesterday in parliament that the new
Electoral Code will not create opportunities for regime change and
formation of a normal country with a tradition of change of power
through elections. In his view, the main objective of reforms was
to restore public confidence in the electoral process, but “you can
make hundreds of changes that do not change the core, whereas ten
amendments can solve all problems.”

Next parliamentary elections will be held in 2012.

Shirak Torosyan: Some Political Processes In Georgia Affect The Arme

SHIRAK TOROSYAN: SOME POLITICAL PROCESSES IN GEORGIA AFFECT THE ARMENIAN COMMUNITY
Karen Ghazaryan

“Radiolur”
24.05.2011 16:33

President of the Javakhk Patriotic Union Shirak Torosyan today
refrained from giving any assessment to the political developments
in Georgia. However, there are processes which somehow affect the
Georgian Armenian community, he said. According to him, the Armenian
community faces the problem of what approach to assume and what to do.

“There is no common position among the community organizations,
and that’s incorrect,” the MP said.

According to Shirak Torosyan, Javakhk Armenians should be distinguished
from the Georgian Armenian community, since the political behavior
of the two is somewhat different. There is no common stance, and as
Georgian citizen, every Armenian decides for himself, which one it
wants to support. Usually, the national minorities in any country
support the incumbent authorities.

Shirak Torosyan says the Georgian Armenian community can be united
only in one case. For instance, this may happen if the opposition
gives concrete promises, let’s say regarding the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide or the solution of the issue of the status of the
Georgian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church.

“However, none of the opposition figures has promised anything,
which makes Georgian Armenians act behave as individual citizens,
not as a united community,” the MP said

Genocide Armenien: Strategie Au-Dela De La Penalisation

GENOCIDE ARMENIEN: STRATEGIE AU-DELA DE LA PENALISATION

N. Lygeros

Après cet echec cuisant mais previsible dans le cadre du contexte
politique francais, nous ne devons pas seulement nous interroger sur
la cause de son existence mais surtout sur les possibilites de passer
outre la decision du Senat, dans la legalite bien sûr. En effet,
le debat semble clos auprès de nombreux observateurs mais aussi
des combattants de la cause armenienne. Certes les premiers pensent
assister a un jeu couru d’avance et les seconds avoir ete manipules
pour des raisons geopolitiques. Ce n’est pas necessairement faux comme
raisonnement, mais cela ne represente qu’une de ses facettes et le
reduire a celle-ci correspondrait a une erreur strategique pour la
cause. Il est tout d’abord clair que l’ensemble de la problematique
du genocide s’inscrit dans un cadre geopolitique aussi cela n’a pas
de sens de s’etonner des repercussions de celle-ci. Quant au jeu, il
est evident qu’en jouant dans un coin de l’echiquier et uniquement
de temps en temps, cela ne permet pas de prevoir les coups car il
existe d’une part l’effet horizon et d’autre part l’effet horizon.

Il est necessaire de repenser notre approche dans un nouveau champ
d’action tout en restant dans le meme cadre geopolitique puisque
l’exclure de celui-ci relève d’un non-sens. Hors du champ d’action
national nous avons celui de l’Union Europeenne et en particulier
du Parlement europeen où le mode operatoire n’est pas national mais
partisan. Ceci permettra d’ailleurs de clarifier les positions de
chacun vis-a-vis de son parti politique puisqu’il n’existera plus
l’excuse d’ordre national. Dans le Parlement Europeen, nous avons un
element fonctionnel de base, a savoir la reconnaissance du genocide
des Armeniens depuis 1987. Sur celui-ci, il est possible de mener
une action qui semble initialement generaliste mais qui prend tout
son sens, une fois deployee et mise en place. Notre objectif ne doit
pas etre specifique au premier abord pour ne pas avoir a subir les
memes pressions qu’en France. Aussi nous devons nous concentrer sur
sa genericite et appliquer un mix strategique au niveau des pouvoirs
politiques des Etats membres de l’Union Europeenne. Ce qui doit etre
clairement annonce c’est la poursuite du processus de reparation et
presenter la penalisation comme simplement le second stade de celui-ci
après la reconnaissance.

Il suffit donc de prôner et de faire la promotion au niveau des partis
politiques du Parlement Europeen, de la volonte de penaliser toute
negation des reconnaissances passees et futures du Parlement europeen.

Il n’existe rien de specifique, aucune cible particulière. La notion de
genocide via la charte des Nations Unies et la reconnaissance existe
en temps qu’action au niveau du Parlement Europeen. Il s’agit donc
d’effectuer une extension de ces notions, toujours dans le cadre du
processus de reparation et d’appliquer ceci de manière generique a
tout genocide reconnu. Nous pensons d’ailleurs qu’il est possible
d’etendre cette manière d’operer a tous les crimes contre l’humanite.

Seulement, la mise en evidence et exergue de la notion de genocide
permet de traiter le noyau du problème quitte a l’etendre par la
suite. Par ailleurs il permet la convergence assuree du mix strategique
independamment des sensibilites initiales de chacun dans le cadre de
son parti. Cette manière d’agir permet de desenclaver notre approche
actuelle et nous assure une strategie robuste et coherente au-dela
de la penalisation.

Une Delegation Du CHP A Visite Le Patriarcat Armenien D’Istanbul

UNE DELEGATION DU CHP A VISITE LE PATRIARCAT ARMENIEN D’ISTANBUL
Stephane

armenews.com
lundi 24 mai 2011

Le vice president du parti du Peuple Republicain ou CHP et le
Representant pour la Politique Etrangère Osman Koruturk et le
Secretaire general Bihlun Tamayligil ont fait une visite au Patriarcat
armenien.

La visite a dure 1h30. Ils ont ete recus par le Patriarche en exercice
l’Archeveque Aram Atesyan au Patriarcat armenien et la reunion etait
interdite a la presse.

Repondant aux questions du journal Hurriyet après la reunion, Osman
Koruturk a parle de 1915 et a dit : ” Les deux côtes ont eprouve des
peines, il serait injuste de dire qu’ils sont unilateraux. Les deux
partis rivaux le CHP et l’AKP ont mis a l’ordre du jour la proposition
d’etablir une commission d’histoire. Neanmoins, la proposition n’a
pas ete approuvee en Armenie “.

Questionne sur l’absence de Arev Cebeci aux elections parlementaires
en tant que candidat de la communaute armenienne Osman Koruturk a dit
que le parti ne selectionnait pas les gens selon leurs identites. ”
Plus de 4300 personnes ont postule et 550 d’entre eux ont gagne. Nous
n’avons pas de depute armenien dans le Parlement de la part de notre
parti. Cependant, nous avons des citoyens d’origine armenienne ayant
de bonnes positions dans l’administration du CHP et a des niveaux
locaux “. Affirmant que les minorites sont cruciales pour le CHP,
Osman Koruturk a dit que la parti respectait tous les droits reconnus
aux minorites dans le cadre du Traite de Lausanne.

Un des presidents de la Fondation armenienne d’Istanbul Bedros
Marzubanyan a affirme que les recentes declarations du chef du
CHP Kemal Kilicdaroglu avaient deplu a la communaute armenienne. ”
Certaines personnes ont dit que la mère de Kilicdaroglu etait une
armenienne du Dersim et il a essaye de prouver que sa mère n’est
pas une armenienne. Je voudrais lui demander si etre un armenien est
vraiment une si mauvaise chose après tout “.

Malgre cela ils sont les bienvenus car la porte est ouverte a
chacun, a dit Marzubanyan. ” Le CHP est le rival le plus proche du
gouvernement. Donc, connaître leurs avis est dans notre interet ”
a-t-il dit.

” Il devrait y avoir au moins deux parlementaires armeniens, un dans
le gouvernement et dans l’opposition. Il est dit a chaque occasion
que la Turquie est une mosaïque. Si le Parlement est une place où
cette mosaïque est representee et c’est le cas autant que je sache,
donc les pièces manquantes de la mosaïque doivent etre achevees. Nous
avons des maires mais maintenant nous voulons envoyer un representant
au Parlement ” a dit Marzubanyan, qui a accentue le fait que les
50000 armeniens en Turquie n’ont pas de simple representant dans
le Parlement.
