RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan today received the UN High
Commissioner for Refugees in Armenia Bushra Halepota.
The Prime Minister highly appreciated the support and interested
cooperation of the Armenian Office of the UN High Commissioner for
Refugees. Mrs. Halepota said this cooperation with all the bodies
of state governance, especially the Department of Migration of the
Ministry of Territorial Administration, is rather constructive and
fruitful, as a result of which a great work has been done to solve
a number of problems of refugees.
The parties welcomed the fact that Armenia joined the International
Convention on Refugees, adopted the Law on Refugees still in 1999
and is preparing to amend the law with the assistance of the Armenian

NEWLY APPOINITED U.S. CHARGE D’AFFAIRES TO ARMENIA TAKES OFFICE
ARKA
Jul 10 2007
YEREVAN, 10 July. /ARKA/. The newly appointed US Charge D’Affaires
to Armenia, Rudolph Perina, assumed office on Tuesday, succeeding
Anthony Godfrey. The press service of the U.S. Embassy in Armenia
reports that Perina’s deep knowledge, his experience in Armenia and
professional ties with the Armenian officialdom will contribute to
the continuation of bilateral relations.
According to the press service, Perina will not stay long in office,
as the issue of appointing a new U.S. Ambassador to Armenia still
remains topical.
President Bush keeps on endorsing Ambassador Richard Hogland’s
candidacy of U.S. Ambassador to Armenia.
Despite Ambassador’s public denial of recognizing the Armenian
massacres in the Ottoman Empire as genocide, President Bush offered
the U.S. Congress to affirm Ricahrd Hogland’s candidacy.
In September 2006, the polling of the U.S. Congress on the issue of
affirming Richard Hogland’s candidacy was suspended, thanks to the
joint efforts of the Armenian lobby and Senator Robert Menendez.
Тhe Armenian community in the U.S.A. is against Hogland’s candidacy,
as he refrained from recognizing the Armenian genocide in 1915 in
the Ottoman Turkey.
During his diplomatic career, Rudolph Perina held various high
posts. From 1993 to 1996 he was U.S. Ambassador to Belgrade, from
1996 to 1997 was Senior Adviser to U.S. Deputy Secretary for Europe
and Canada.
>From 1998 to 2001 Perina was a co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group on the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh and Eurasian conflicts, and from
2004 to 2005 was Deputy Director of State Secretary in the Strategic
Planning Department.

Global finance as sexy fodder for serious literary pursuits
Viken Berberian’s "Das Kapital" finds high art against the unlikely backdrop
of the world of hedge funds
By Kaelen Wilson-Goldie
Daily Star staff
Tuesday, July 10, 2007
Review
BEIRUT: What happens when a writer of highly intelligent literary
fiction goes to spend a year working for a hedge fund in New York?
Does he get a taste of the dark side? Drop his ambitions to craft
austere, evocative novels as useless and financially unstable? Cash in
his art for more bankable currency? If the writer is Viken Berberian,
then the answer is no. To the contrary, Berberian turned his time at a
hedge fund – among other experiences racked up over a four-year period
of research, travel, writing and rewriting in New York, Paris and
Marseilles – into a cogent, provocative and entertaining new novel,
"Das Kapital: A Novel of Love and Money Markets."
Berberian was born in Beirut to an Armenian family. He left Lebanon
late in 1975, grew up in Los Angeles, studied for a time in New York
and worked as a writer straddling the seemingly distant realms of art
and finance. His father, however, remained in Beirut due to work
obligations. He was killed in a politically motivated shooting in
1986.
Perhaps inevitably, Berberian’s debut novel, "The Cyclist," delved
into political violence in the Middle East. Published in 2002, it
crawled into the head space of a suicide bomber who is bent on blowing
up a seaside hotel in Beirut. Part of a shadowy London-based terrorist
group, he is assigned the job of blasting the building not by car or
truck laden with explosives but by posing as a serious cyclist and
riding his bike straight into it with a bomb on his back.
For all the drama of the plot, "The Cyclist" folded a brash, stylish
and pensive missive on food, love and longing in the Levant into a
spare book of just 190 pages. It was neither autobiographical nor
opportunistic – it was published after the attacks of September 11,
2001, but written before. It marked the arrival of a dazzling literary
stylist.
The genius of the novel was the fact that Berberian never gave his
readers enough information to place his characters – not their
religious affiliations, political allegiances, national identities,
nothing. Their motives couldn’t be assumed or justified along
biographical lines. They were both caught in and the cause of a nasty
crucible of ideas and actions, where the vapors of political causes
and belief systems had long been cooked away.
Berberian’s follow-up leaves the specificities of Lebanon – of
reconstruction-era Beirut and its perpetually suspect inner workings –
and takes up the equally murky world of global finance in the
so-called "age of terror." If you want to get to the heart of
terrorism, it has been argued, chuck ideology and follow the money
instead. The three central characters in Berberian’s second novel –
two of them deliberately, one of them unwittingly – take this so far
they spin it around, orchestrating terrorist attacks and other
man-made catastrophes to drive financial markets into free fall, and
profit handsomely from their tumbling.
"Das Kapital" is, as the title would suggest, both an homage and a
ruthlessly funny take-down of Karl Marx’s exhaustive, unfinished
analysis of the capitalist system. At the core of Berberian’s treatise
is a love triangle. On one side is Wayne, son of a bridge builder and
a day trader with a hedge fund called Empiricus Kapital who bets
against the market and adheres to a theory of deterministic
disaster. On another side is the Corsican, son of a Situationist
International member and a tree-hugger who, until recently, cut down
trees for a living. On the final side is Alix, daughter of a train
conductor and an architecture student in Marseilles who has a
predilection for Sufi aphorisms and hopping around on the roofs of
buildings. Wayne’s ideology is naked self interest; the Corsican’s is
a love of nature he has directly corrupted with his labor; Alix’s
beliefs are a hazier, more humanist affair.
Unlike "The Cyclist," "Das Kapital" is awash in detail – the decor of
Wayne’s loft (a hollow set piece replete with an Ingo Maurer lamp and
a "pliable plastic bookcase inspired more by itself than by the ideas
that it held"), the Bloomberg news retrieval system perched on the
desk in his office, the Rothko poster celebrating the Industrial
Revolution on one wall, the reworked quotation from Marx emblazoned on
another.
Yet Berberian continues the craft of obfuscation he began in "The
Cyclist." He weights information by recycling it but leaves readers
to calculate meaning. Wayne shorted shares in the paper company the
Corsican worked for, essentially causing the Corsican to lose his
job. The Corsican, in turn, shows up at Wayne’s office and offers his
services. Corisca was Napoleon’s birthplace, and it boasted the
world’s only island company churning out corrugated cardboard – these
facts, repeated, pulse with relevance.
Due to his Situationist upbringing, the Corsican’s expertise isn’t
really trees at all but spectacles – the Tokyo Stock Exchange blown to
bits, an explosion on a cruise liner in the Mediterranean basin at a
time when several of the world’s most powerful billionaires are on
board, a man who rushes Gordon Brown on the steps of the Bank of
England, gives him a bear hug and detonates a belly-strapped device –
"a staggering operation [of] fatalistic splendor," a blast "followed
by a warm gust of body parts and debris, confusion compressed, reality
untangled, unraveled, reordered."
The hinge is Alix, who sleeps with both men and passes architectural
drawings between them, seemingly unaware of their purpose. She is, in
many respects, the most real, and least caricatured, of all. And she
represents another wild card that can not be predicted or planned for,
falling in love, which complicates things for both Wayne and the
Corsican.
"Das Kapital" captures and tweaks financial lingo with hilarious
panache. Wayne reduces a Sorbonne-educated philosophy student to
tears with a simple problem-solver. A cab driver appears out of
nowhere to comment on Marx, tragedy, money and time.
Some of the wordplay takes the text, meta-style, outside the plot to
comment on the craft at hand. On meeting the Corsican, Wayne tells
him: "Science is something we encourage here at Empiricus. We do not
look for verifications but rather crucial tests. We are avid readers
here. Everything we can get our hands on, except for literary
fiction. It has no basis in mathematical reality. It is messy,
imprecise, difficult to disprove. Are you with me?"
There are more than a few similarities between Empiricus Kapital and
Empirica Capital, the hedge fund of Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Originally
from Amion, Taleb’s family fell from wealth with the drastic
devaluation of the Lebanese lira. In addition to being a specialist in
financial mathematics and the finer points of stochastic volatility,
Taleb is also an essayist, a philosopher of "randomness" and an
"epistemologist of chance."
He has turned his theory of the black swan – the always-there
potential of rare, high-impact and totally unexpected events – into a
literary bestseller.
Taleb and Berberian came to the writing of books from opposite
angles. But both suggest that the esoteric machinations of global
finance offer up surprisingly sexy material for literary
pursuits. Berberian’s "Das Kapital" will thrill Che memorabilia-toting
neophyte leftists and budding arch capitalists alike. And to its
credit, once seduced, the novel won’t let either of them off the hook
easily.
Viken Berberian’s "Das Kapital: A Novel of Love and Money Markets" is
out now from Simon & Schuster.
WHY THE CYPRUS PROBLEM CANNOT BE SOLVED PRINT
View By Ata Atun
Journal of Turkish Weekly, Turkey
july 9 2007
The main factors that have made Greek Cyprus unwilling to help solve
the dispute on the island are international powers requiring that
the roots of the problem and the responsible party be disregarded
and clearing the path for Greek Cyprus’s membership to EU.
Turkish Cypriot President Rauf Denktaº has been characterized as
intransigent, but this does not conform to reality. As a matter
of fact, it was the Greek side that rejected all UN proposals for
reunification of the island.
The Turkish side, while in favor of Cuellar’s "Set of Proposals"
in March 1986, Boutros-Ghali’s "Set of Ideas" in 1992 and finally
the Annan plan on April 24, 2004, the Greek side, beguiling the
international community to the last minute, looking for support by
pretending to be the underdog and supporting it until the very last
moment, was always the side against a solution.
On top of that, although the current administration of the Turkish
Republic of Northern Cyprus (KKTC) came to power on rallying cries of
a solution to the Cyprus problem and EU membership, the Cyprus problem
is drifting away from a solution. In this context, it is possible to
line up the basic elements complicating the solution as follows.
* International recognition of Greek Cyprus, as the continuation of
the 1960 Cyprus government since March 1964.
* The resolutions of UN Security Council based on this concept,
which reverberated in the leading cases at the European Court of Human.
Rights:
* March 4, 1964/181: The creation of a UN peacekeeping force in Cyprus
and official recognition of Greek Cyprus as the government of Cyprus.
* Nov. 18, 1983/541: Considering the declaration of the KKTC as
legally invalid.
* May 13, 1984/550: Defining the formation of the KKTC as a
"secessionist action" and calling for the transfer of Varosha to the
administration of the UN.
* Greek Cyprus’ possession of rights and the possibility of becoming a
member, to participate, vote and speak on behalf of the whole island,
in international organizations.
* Alongside the conflicting benefits and arguments of both communities
on the island, the involvement of regional and global powers in the
Cyprus problem.
* The participation of too many international actors, topping the
judicial framework of the 1960 agreement.
* The double standards of the EU by accepting Greek Cyprus as a full
member irrespective of international law.
* Greek Cyprus’s position in the decision-making side on Turkey’s
membership talks with the EU.
* Taking advantage of the over-willingness of Turkey to join the EU,
playing the Cyprus issue as a trump card and transforming it into an
EU instrument in the form of a provision.
* The belief of the Greek side that they would get the most compromise
by means of threatening Turkey it will veto its EU accession process.
* Aiming to be recognized by Turkey as the legal representative of
the Cypriot government by dragging the problem to the judicial organs
of the EU.
* Within the short and medium term, the opening of the closed area of
Varosha and the approval and exercising of the Additional Protocol
to the Ankara Agreement by opening Turkish harbors and airports to
Greek Cypriot traffic.
* Working to reduce the Turkish Cypriots from a politically equal
community to a minority once again and invalidating the existence,
rights and status of Turkey on the island.
* Importing the EU as an actor alongside the claims of the Greeks
to the solution of the problem by mentioning that the resolution in
Cyprus will be within the UN framework and relying on EU principles in
the Turkey-EU Negotiation Framework Document and Accession Partnership
Document.
* By this method, shifting the solution from the UN floor, where Turkey
is a member, to a platform where the EU participates but Turkey and
the KKTC do not
* The usage of Greek Cyprus by the other members of the EU who are
against the membership of Turkey for other reasons as a subcontractor.
* The continuation of sanctions imposed on the KKTC and no penalty
for the Greeks vis-a-vis a resolution.
* In this context, the unwillingness of Greeks to sit down for
a solution.
* The extremely nationalist and racial feelings of Greeks stretching
to fascism, and rejecting coexistence with the Turkish Cypriots. In
addition, the increase in the supporters of neo-Nazism, far-right
groups and violent EOKA-like organizations such as Hrisi Avgi/Golden
Dawn.
* The role of the Greek Orthodox Church and the Greek Cypriot
education system.
* The strong support of the Greek Cypriots for the Pappadopoulos
factor, in the April 24 referendum and onwards,
* Greek Cyprus profiting significantly from international laws and
propaganda against the Turkish side.
* The conveyance of property affair, which should be the part of a
comprehensive and bilateral solution, to the European court by the
Greek Cypriots, for a solution within the level of the rights of
an individual.
* The efficacy of the Greek Cypriot and Greek lobby within Western
countries and their collaboration with the Armenian lobby.
* The psychological operations conducted for years in the KKTC for
a solution along the Greek Cypriot thesis.
The final position reached within this framework neither leads to
a solution under a joint state due to the obstructions of the Greek
Cypriots nor does it leave a gap for the recognition of the KKTC and
the lifting of sanctions.

WITHOUT OPPOSITION FOR TEAM PLAY
KarabakhOpen
10-07-2007 10:41:27
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
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.
ARMENIA – AZERBAIAN 0:0

06.07.2007 13:49
The match between the national football teams of Armenia and Azerbaijan
in the framework of the First Black Sea Games held in the Turkish
city of Trabzon ended a draw (0:0). Both teams dropped from further
competition. The teams of Moldova and Russia, included in the same
group, have advanced to the next round.

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.
