Without Opposition For Team Play

WITHOUT OPPOSITION FOR TEAM PLAY

5 candidates are running in the presidential election in
Karabakh. Member of Parliament Armen Abgaryan, who is one of the
candidates, demonstrates that he is unlikely to become president. He
does not hold meetings and declines to hold interviews.

The next candidate is Vania Avanesyan, professor at Artsakh State
University, who does not hold meetings often and explains it by
finance.

People already tell jokes about him. For instance, they say in answer
to the question what his first decree at the post of president will
be he said: "I’ll appoint myself rector of Artsakh State University."

As to the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party Hrant Melkumyan, he uses the free time on television and
radio and holds meetings with voters, mainly with the supporters of
the party.

The main opponents are Bako Sahakyan and Masis Mayilyan. According to
the chair of the Central Electoral Commission, only these candidates
have election funds. Bako Sahakyan’s fund totals about 6 million drams
(it is the maximum), Masis Mayilyan’s fund is 1 million drams, Sergey
Nasibyan said.

On the whole, the campaign is calm. Bako Sahakyan surrounded by a
number of well-known people visits the regions, meets with people and
is apparently satisfied. Masis Mayilyan also visits the regions but
prefers not to inform the media about his visits because he says if
the government learns about the place of the meeting, they "prepare"
people, and the meeting may fail. Although, the members of Masis
Mayilyan’s team say most meetings are successful because everywhere
there are people who think independently and try to make a choice on
their own.

This election campaign has a peculiarity. It finally crushed the
political sphere in Karabakh. It is difficult to indicate the platform
of the future president, because the borderline between the government
and the opposition was eventually blurred.

The process of demolition of the opposition began in 2004 when
the representative of the opposition party was elected mayor of
Stepanakert in a free election. At that time the opposition became
government and failed the test. The situation aggravated when in
the parliamentary election three representatives of the opposition
entered the parliament: Armen Sargsyan (ARF Dashnaktsutyun), Gegham
Baghdasaryan (mayor’s Movement 88 party) and the retired general Vitaly
Balasanyan. Three oppositionists vs. 30 members of the pro-government
Democratic Party and Azat Hayrenik crushed alternative opinion in
the legislature. The majority makes laws and decisions. In addition,
the three members of parliament do not pose as opposition and keep
silent for most of the time.

Nevertheless, the political sphere used to have poles, even though
they were formal, which balanced each other to some extent. On the eve
of the presidential election even this formal polarization was crushed.

The government’s candidate Bako Sahakyan (President Ghukasyan endorsed
him publicly) is supported by not only the pro-government forces but
also by the opposition. Strangely enough, during the campaign the
opposition is more active than the pro-government parties are. For
instance, during the meetings with voters Arayik Harutiunyan, leader
of the Azat Hayrenik Party, General Vitaly Balasanyan, and the
representative of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun Bureau in Artsakh Arthur
Mosiyan are seen beside Bako Sahakyan. The Democratic Party is not
seen, which only held a meeting and endorsed Bako Sahakyan.

This state of things is highly eloquent. First, it allows suggesting
that the Democratic Party will lose certain ministerial and other
executive posts if he is elected. Apparently, these posts are foreseen
for the people who are now beside Bako Sahakyan. These people now
are party leaders, members of parliament but apparently they need
ministerial posts.

However, supporters are many, posts are few. Who will get the
posts? And who will sustain the balance of powers if the opposition
is becoming government?

For the future president, whoever he might be, it will be difficult
to work in such a political sphere where everyone is a team, and
sacrifices their beliefs for the team play. As a result, the public
interests are attacked.

Turkey And Israel To Transform The Orient

TURKEY AND ISRAEL TO TRANSFORM THE ORIENT
Dr. Muhammad Shamsaddin Megalommatis

The American Chronicle
July 7 2007

In two earlier articles we advocated the rise of a Great Alliance
between the only democratic countries in the area between European
Union and India, namely Turkey and Israel. In exchange of Turkish
support against the Palestinian terrorism, Israel and the world’s
Jewish and Zionist circles should support Turkey’s Secular
establishment against the threat emanating from the Euro-liberal
manipulative backing of Erdogan’s perfidious and preposterous
Islamists.

With the Turkish Secular establishment consolidated, Turkey and Israel
should advance step by step on a multi-target plan that would restore
Turkish Supremacy in the Orient, and ensure Israeli Preponderance in
the Promised Land. As both countries face double challenges from the
Green and White Terror, namely the Islamic Extremism and Terrorism
and the Russian Orthodox counterfeit Messianism, it is clear that
Turkey and Israel have limited temporal margin.

It will be to their mutual benefit if they both hit their respective
target zones in parallel. The consorted efforts and the concerted
operations should be perfectly timed so that both countries’
operations overshadow one another and cause an undividable shock to
the world’s mass media, drastically preventing them from the advantage
of prioritizing news.

Step 1 – Turkey in Kirkuk and Israel in Ramallah

The semi-autonomous region of Northern Iraq turned out to become
a disparaged realm of totalitarianism unbearably exercised by some
tribal Kurdish thugs against para-‘Kurdish’ minorities, Arameans,
Yazidis, Ahl-e Haq, Turkmens, Armenians, and others. At the same time,
the overt alliance of Barzani with the PKK terrorists is simply not
acceptable anymore for a NATO member, particularly in the light of
Turkish – Iranian rivalry for Supremacy in the Orient.

Turkey should enter in Northern Iraq, and by this we do not mean a
buffer zone of 10 to 30 km. Turkish army should enter Zakho, Dohuk,
Mosul, Arbil, Kirkuk and Suleymaniyeh. And stay. Forever.

While doing so, Turkey should declare to Iran that any Iranian attempt
to enter under any disguised form in the Mesopotamian South, under
pretext of Shia alliance, would be immediate Casus Belli.

To prevent any paranoid European or American reaction to the Turkish
fully legitimate advance in Northern Mesopotamia, and to the much
needed elimination of Barzani, Israel should declare that opposition
to Turkey’s presence in Iraq and to Turkey’s mending of the Iraqi hell
consists in overt anti-Semitism. Even without the Israelis saying so,
it is not difficult to understand that all the Islamist and extremist
elements in Iraq perceive their anti-American attacks as the first
step in their pending aggression against Israel.

Turkey’s presence in the Mesopotamian North will be both, termination
of the Kurdish terrorism and severe pressure over the Sunni and
Shia insurgents.

The same day Turkish soldiers tear down the illegitimate – by grace of
colonial powers – borders of Iraq, Israel should break into Ramallah,
Qalqiliyah, Tulkarm, Nablus, Janin, Hebron (Khalil) and Jericho
(Ariha), irrevocably eliminating the existence of any local authority
and administration, and removing the shadowy and genuinely terrorist
Palestinian Authority and its ridiculous, bogus-President.

The operation should take the form of forced and generalized expulsion
of the population from their homes; they should be discharged in
Jordan.

The Palestinian problem was always easy to solve, simply it had
become a part of the bi-polar world’s chessboard. At any time, Israel
could have reduced the Palestinians to ashes, but this would trigger
a Soviet reaction and eventually an international crisis with the
menace of a large scale nuclear war; the Israel / Palestine dispute
was part of the Balance of Nuclear Threat. With the collapse of the
Soviet Union, one could expect the problem to be quickly solved,
as not a significant ally would stand by the terrorist thugs of Arafat.

Yet, the rising European power of immoral discord has so far done its
ingenious best to hinder either a genuine solution of the problem or
a unilateral measure that Israel could at any moment have taken and
thoroughly and adequately implemented.

Acting on axes of duplicity , mendacity and perversion, the French
diplomacy and presidency engaged the entire EU – immorally,
disastrously and disreputably – on the side of the Palestinian
gangsters of Arafat. Certainly, it is highly unlikely that small
and poor states that join EU out of their need to get funded and
subsidized decide to oppose the ominous Paris – Berlin axis.

Behind the criminal and carnivorous people who man institutions
like the Elysee palace and the Quai d’ Orsay is hidden the Apostate
Freemasonic Lodge, which promotes its bestializing and dehumanizing
policies – that they call (prepare to laugh!) ‘mission civilisatrice
de France’ – and its Merovingian Eschatological Agenda. They need
the Palestinians to destroy the state of Israel which does not suit
their Abomination of the Desolation.

The Apostate Freemasonic Anti-Semitic plan was to make Israel lose
time, money and resources without getting either Peace or recognition;
this is the reason of the incessant but futile accords, meetings,
conferences and noise that all did not help lead anywhere.

At the same time, the Euro-puppets of the Apostate Freemasonic Lodge
preserve the Palestinians in their ‘homeland’ in order to use them
when it suits them best, namely at the moment they will have their
anti-Semitic conspiracy ready for full implementation.

Israelis know very well that it is all about their survival; and the
World’s Jews know very well that, if this Jewish state is annihilated,
there isn’t going to be another Jewish state in the horizon……

The only way for Israel to survive is to genuinely, effectively and
intrepidly evacuate all the Palestinians out of the West Bank (first
step) and Gaza (second step) before Israel gets the chance to remove
the burden of Damascus. The only way to get it done is to solemnly
announce that just one more attempt of suicide bombing will produce
the end of the Palestinians’ presence in the West Bank. As expected,
the besotted terrorists of the most Satanic irredentism, i.e. the
Hamas criminal members, will respond with another suicide bombing,
therefore prompting the final evacuation of the Palestinians form
their homelands that since the days of the Ottoman Empire they failed
repeatedly to defend. This will be the most correct judgment adjusted
to them. When regrouped in Jordan, dispossessed of their belongings,
they will remember that it all started with their forefathers who
first deserted the Ottoman army fighting against the British in 1917.

With Turkey immediately recognizing Israel as de facto and de
jure instituted from the river Jordan until the Mediterranean, and
guaranteeing Israel’s borders, the Palestinian problem will have been
mostly solved. Gaza would not be a significant matter to tackle later,
simply it should be thoroughly isolated first.

Step – 2 Eliminate Syria

The ‘Burden of Damascus’, Syria is not a state, but a technical entity;
it does not reflect any local need of the various indigenous peoples to
supposedly live together. Aramaeans consist in about 15% of the entire
population; another 10% represents the terribly oppressed Kurds. In
addition, there are Turks, Circassians, Armenians, Sunni and Shia;
the latter, named Alevites (After Ali), ruled the country over the
past 40 years atrociously tyrannizing the rest, although they do not
represent more than 15% of the country’s population.

Father and son Assad, turned the traditionally anti-Semitic country
to a most devious Middle Eastern country, successively involving the
impoverished realm into an alliance with the Soviets, Islamic Iran,
terrorist Sudan, paranoid Qadhafi, and a great number of Palestinian
and international terrorists. Through their illegal presence in
Lebanon, and their crazy Lebanese interlocutors, they got in touch
with Latin American mafias and anti-American cartels. In brief, Syria
should not exist, and actually it cannot exist furthermore. The Assad
family is more threatening than their Iraqi counterparts who have
been caught in 2003 and deservedly punished – thank God!

If America failed in Iraq, Israel has nothing to expect from Washington
as regards Syria. However, Israel will have tremendous gains from an
alliance with Turkey that would help remove the Damascus tyrants from
the surface of the earth.

Syria demands – irresponsibly and ludicrously – the Golan heights
back. Perfidious German foreign ministers pay shameless trips to
Damascus to underscore Syria’s role, as if its existence is acceptable;
the European Union intends to use Syria and the Palestinians against
Israel in a way to bring the Israelis to their knees. Even worse, Syria
is the focal interconnection of Iran, Russia, France and Gulf emirs.

Israel cannot exist with a country like this on its northern border,
and Turkey cannot afford to allow Syria threaten Israel.

Turkey must view in Syria a Russian appendix.

And Israel must see in Syria an Iranian appendix.

The appendix must be effectively cut off, before it turns out to
become a poisonous appendicitis.

For the joined forces of Turkey and Israel, it would be a promenade
to Damascus, and they two countries must find a pretext and trigger
a development, successfully involving them in a war against the Assad
barbaric and tyrannical gangsters. Turkish and Israeli soldiers should
meet in Damascus and will properly applauded by the long tyrannized
majority of the Syrians. Three days will suffice for a war against
the Burden of Damascus, and the lewd tyrant of Syria should be met
with Saddam Hussein’s fate. Russia and Iran may threaten for a day
or two but at the end their position will have been dramatically
weakened. Europe will curse Turkey out of Brussels, but who cares
for the apostate – atheist freemasons – the sons of the Perdition?

The Turco-Israeli elimination of Syria could take place even before the
Americans step out of Iraq. It should then be followed by an adequate
and complete replacement of the American by the Turkish flag. NATO
should stay in Mesopotamia permanently. What the perspectives of
a Middle East without the Palestinian, the Kurdish and the Syrian
terrorists would be is the subject of a next article.

Will Robert Kocharyan Name Davit Harutiunyan?

In a news conference on July 4 Member of Parliament Victor Dallakyan
said this government is a provisional government and is a compromise
between the president and the prime minister. According to Victor
Dallakyan, the government is divided by struggle for power. On the
other hand, the president who would hate to retire at a young age,
tries to assert his influence, on the other hand, the prime minister
aspires to absolute power and tries to make his power whole.

Victor Dallakyan does not think the prime minister will agree to have
the president become prime minister if he becomes president, but he
does not rule out that after the presidential election of 2008 the
prime minister, the parliament majority and the president will be from
the same political party. However, Victor Dallakyan reminds the
experience of the Republic Union led by the All-Armenian Movement in
1995 when the monolithic government transformed in a very short period.
Victor Dallakyan thinks the government will nominate two presidential
candidates. One is Serge Sargsyan, the other will be named by Robert
Kocharyan, and according to Victor Dallakyan, it will be the person who
abstained in the voting to the law on television and radio. Republican
Davit Harutiunyan abstained.

Victor Dallakyan also stated that the common candidate of the
opposition is a political technology of change of government, and if
the parliamentary election taught the opposition a lesson, it can be a
serious opponent for the presidential candidates put up by the
government. `However, the constitution vests uncontrollable power in
the parliament majority and its prime minister. The president works as
a British queen for the parliament majority and the prime minister.’

Victor Dallakyan also stated that the parliament majority is highly
relative, there are different branches even within the Republican
majority, which will be revealed in the presidential election. Victor
Dallakyan does not expect a surprise from the NKR presidential election
and does not think it will influence the Armenian presidential election.

Ex-president Levon Ter-Petrosyan is rumored to run in the presidential
election. Victor Dallakyan says the first president has not announced
publicly or in another way that he will run in the election. He thinks
it would be more correct if first Levon Ter-Petrosyan made a statement,
then the parties and politicians discussed his nomination.

BAKU: Armenia Should Understand Statements of Heads of Int’l Orgs

TREND News Agency, Azerbaijan

Armenia Should Understand Statements of Heads of International
Organizations: Department Chief of Azerbaijan’s Presidential
Administration

Azerbaijan, Baku /corr. Trend S.Ilhamgizi, E.Huseynov / The Head of
the Foreign Relations Department of the Executive Apparat of
Azerbaijan President, Novruz Mammadov, informed Trend on 5 July that
the statement of the Head of the OSCE Parliamentary, Goran Lenmarker,
that the agreement on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is ready to be signed
is based on common process of peaceful negotiations.

He stressed that the heads of the international organizations follow
the process of the peaceful negotiations between Azerbaijan and
Armenia and speeches of the Presidents and Co-chairs of the OSCE
Minsk Group. Their statements deal with not one meeting, but whole
process of peaceful negotiations. `The separate statements during the
negotiations were that the sides are near to sign an agreement.
Despite that the recent meetings of the Presidents yielded no
results, the international organizations believe that next time an
agreement will be signed between the sides,’ Mammadov said.

The Department Chief said that the position of Azerbaijan in the
negotiations is clear – the conflict should be resolved gradually
within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan by providing high
status to Nagorno-Karabakh. According to Mammadov, the international
community is satisfied with this position.

`The Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Terry Davis,
stressed that the lands of Azerbaijan have been occupied and Armenian
armed forces should release them. The report of Goran Lenmarker also
highlights the occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh territory of Azerbaijan
and seven regions surrounding it. The President of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe, Rene Van Der Linden, also states
this fact. Now the international community accepts this fact. All
these are means of pressure on Armenia. Armenia should understand
it,’ Mammadov said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries appeared in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenia
has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani lands including the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. Since
1992 to the present time, these territories have been under Armenian
occupation. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a cease-fire
agreement at which time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France and USA) are holding
peaceful negotiations.

Hans-Peter Furrer’s statements cause discontent in Azerbaijan

HANS-PETER FURRER’S STATEMENTS CAUSE DISCONTENT IN AZERBAIJAN

The speech of the former Director General of Political Questions of the
Council of Europe Hans-Peter Furrer caused discontent in Azerabijan.

APA European Bureau reports that touching upon the topic of conflicts,
Mr. Furrer noted that Russia is held responsible for the South
Ossetia and Abkhazia conflicts, while in case of Nagorno Karabakh
"Armenia started the war to release the Armenians living on the
mentioned territories."

Furrer declared that exhale of local Azerbaijani population served
the same purpose.

The director of Baku school Ilgar Mammadov objecting to these opinions
told Mr. Furrer it would be better to gather thorough information
before speaking of the causes of the conflict.

Two Turks Arrested In Switzerland For Denying The Armenian Genocide

TWO TURKS ARRESTED IN SWITZERLAND FOR DENYING THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

armradio.am

Two Turks were arrested on Saturday on suspicion of breaking Swiss
anti-racism laws for denying that the killing of Armenians in the
early 20th century was genocide.

The two were arrested at a conference in the Zurich suburb of
Winterthur, where posters were hung up and leaflets distributed
rejecting that the killing was genocide. One of the Turks organized
the event and the other was shouting slogans before a crowd.

Switzerland’s anti-racism legislation, which previously applied to
Holocaust denial, was used earlier this year to prosecute a Turkish
politician for denying at a gathering in 2005 that the Turks committed
genocide in the World War I-era killings, the Turkish Daily News
reports.

Last week, a Swiss cantonal court upheld the conviction against Dogu
Perincek, the leader of the Workers’ Party (İP), as well as an order
for him to pay a fine of 3,000 Swiss francs ($2,450).

Police in the canton of Zurich identified the two arrested individuals
as a 57-year-old resident of Germany and a 51-year-old Swiss resident.

RA Constitutional Court to continue hearings on claim of candidate

RA Constitutional Court to continue hearings on claim of deputy
candidate from 36th single-mandate district

arminfo
2007-06-29 11:00:00

RA CC will continue hearings on the claim of a deputy candidate from
the 36th single-mandate district Mushegh Saghatelyan.

To recall, the hearings on the claim of M. Saghatelyan, who required to
cancel the results of voting in the 36th district and call reelection ,
started on June 25.

During the hearings, representative of the claimer Gevork Minasyan said
that according to the decision of the district election committee from
May 17, 2007, a non-party Mkhitar Varagyan, who
gathered over 14,000 votes, was announced a winner at the election, the
second place was taken by representative of the "Prosperous Armenia"
party Mushegh Petrosyan, who gathered over 13,000 votes, the third
place was taken by a non-party Mushegh Saghatelyan, having gathered a
bit more than 7,000 votes. As the claimer’s representative said, the
true number of inaccuracies during the
voting is not 131, as indicated in the final Protocol of the 36th
election committee, but 9 632, i.e. more than the difference in the
votes among the candidates, that is a good reason to cancel
the voting results and call a reelection. However, during the hearings,
the claimer’s representatives could not give a distinct answer to the
question of CC Head Gagik Haroutyunyan: "What these digits are
confirmed by, where have they been taken from". Having heard the
defendant’s party, RA Constitutional Court announced a three-day
interval to study the final protocols of the voting in 26 of 59 polling
stations of the 36th single-mandate district in RA Shirak region.

Armenian Lawmakers Pass Bill That Would Limit Foreign News Broadcast

ARMENIAN LAWMAKERS PASS BILL THAT WOULD LIMIT FOREIGN NEWS BROADCASTS

AP Worldstream
Published: Jun 29, 2007

Armenian lawmakers gave preliminary backing to a bill Friday that could
restrict the retransmission of foreign news broadcasts, legislation
critics said was designed to target Armenian-language programs of
Radio Free Europe.

Parliament voted 79-16 to pass the amendments, introduced by the
government this week, to the country’s main broadcasting law.

The amendments would require the foreign-funded news broadcasters
to pay around US$200 (A150) every time shows are re-broadcast by the
country’s primary radio and television company.

U.S.-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty is the only foreign news
organization whose programs are re-broadcast on Armenian state radio _
up to five times a day in some cases.

Radio Liberty’s FM broadcasts would not be affected.

The amendments would not affect foreign broadcasters, such as
Deutsche Welle or British Broadcasting Corp., that broadcast on the
FM frequency. Neither have Armenian language service, but do broadcast
in Russian.

Karine Kalantarian, a correspondent for the RFE/RL’s Armenian-language
service, said the service would not comment on the pending legislation.

Opposition lawmakers accused the government of deliberately targeting
Radio Liberty, and warned of increasing pressure on independent
media outlets.

Armenia’s government is known to be unhappy with the Radio Liberty,
though no officials have ever publicly criticized the broadcaster.

Armenia State Radio and Television is the primary source of news for
many residents of the poor, South Caucasus nation.

RFE/RL is a private, nonprofit corporation that receives funding from
the U.S. government. It has broadcast in 28 languages to 20 countries,
including Iran and Iraq since 1998, and Afghanistan from 2002.
