MEMBERSHIP IN EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION ALLOWS ARMENIA TO BUILD UP ITS INDUSTRY – SAFARYAN

YEREVAN, December 8. /ARKA/. Armenia will be able to build up its
industry, if it uses properly the opportunity its membership in the
Eurasian Economic Union provides, Vazgen Safaryan, chairman of the
Union of Native Commodity Producers of Armenia, said Monday at a
news conference. “This membership will give nothing to the country,
if we don’t work intensively, don’t restore our old ties and don’t
encourage Armenian and Russian entrepreneurs to establish production
in Armenia’s border villages,” he said. In his opinion, the national
industry’s growth is insufficient to ensure proper development of
social and economic growth to the country and to reduce emigration
and unemployment here. According to the National Statistical Service
of Armenia, Armenia’s industrial output grew 2.2% in Jan-Oct 2014,
compared with the same period a year before, to AMD 1040.1 billion.

The expert also finds it necessary to change Armenia’s economic
policy. In particular, he proposes to increase exports of final
products. “Economy is in need of a mobilizing policy, and all our
resources, particularly raw materials, should be processed into final
products, which will be sold at higher prices,” he said adding that
this will considerably build up GDP. ($1 – AMD 447.86). —0—–

percer notre Seigneur Jesus-Christ, alors qu’il etait sur la croix.

Selon la tradition ecclesiastique, l’apôtre Saint Thaddee, l’un
des douze disciples du Christ, a transmis cette relique sacree du
Seigneur au peuple armenien au premier siècle. Pendant des siècles, la
sainte relique chretienne a ete maintenu a dans differents monastères
historiques de l’ Armenie, et depuis le 13 ème siècle a Ayrivank, qui

envoyee plusieurs fois dans differentes provinces d’Armenie, ainsi
qu’envoye a Tbilissi, en Georgie.

L’ARMEE ARMENIENNE DEVIENT UN FACTEUR DE LA POLITIQUE ETRANGERE APRES UNE OPERATION REUSSIE

ARMENIE

De violents affrontements entre les forces armeniennes et
azerbaïdjanaises pour le contrôle de la zone où l’helicoptère a ete
abattu en première ligne au Karabagh semblent peut-etre termines mais
des questions demeurent sur la facon dont l’incident aura un impact
sur la situation generale dans la zone du conflit et le processus de
règlement par la mediation internationale.

Dans la nuit du 22 novembre un commando du Karabagh a mene une
operation speciale visant a recuperer les corps des trois pilotes de
l’helicoptère Mi-24 que l’Azerbaïdjan a abattu le 12 Novembre alors
qu’il operait un vol d’entraînement a proximite de la partie orientale
de la ligne de contact.

Alors que l’helicoptère abattu est tombe dans la zone dite neutre,
aucune des parties ne pouvait l’approcher a cause des tirs intenses.

L’Azerbaïdjan a ignore les appels des mediateurs internationaux qui
l’ont exhorte a donner un accès a l partie armenienne afin d’acceder
a l’epave pour pouvoir recuperer les corps de pilotes. Le bras de
fer a continue pendant près de 10 jours et a conduit a l’operation
speciale dans laquelle la partie armenienne a dit qu’au moins deux
soldats azerbaïdjanais ont ete tues. Bakou a nie les decès.

Pendant ce temps, ni les co-presidents du Groupe de Minsk de l’OSCE,
ni d’autres organisations internationales ont soit condamne ou ont
montre toute autre reaction a l’operation de recuperation menee par
les forces du Karabagh. L’absence de reaction peut etre la preuve que
les mediateurs ont ete au courant de l’operation envisagee ou de leur
approbation par la suite.

Quoi qu’il en soit, l’incident du 12 novembre a souleve un certain
nombre de questions dans la societe armenienne. Tout d’abord, c’est la
liberte d’action des armees armeniennes et azerbaïdjanaises dans des
conditions du cessez-le-feu de 1994 et des mediateurs internationaux
qui n’ont pas eu d’effet de levier afin de trouver des solutions et
au moins au niveau humanitaire ?

Comme il s’est avere, les instruments internationaux sont pratiquement
absents, et l’armee armenienne a pleinement realise que cela
permettrait de resoudre les problèmes de son propre chef.

Deuxièmement, comme il est avere, il n’y a meme pas la base juridique
minimum dans l’armistice armeno-azerbaïdjanais.

Le 11 mai, l’accord de 1994 ne contenait qu’une disposition
sur cessez-le-feu et devait etre confirmee par un document
militaro-technique le lendemain. Toutefois, aucun document a ete signe
le 12 mai lors d’une reunion organisee par le ministre de la Defense
de la Russie et en presence des ministres de la defense de l’Armenie
et de l’Azerbaïdjan et le commandant des forces d’auto-defense
du Karabagh. La Russie a exige l’introduction de ses troupes pour
separer les parties en conflit, mais l’Azerbaïdjan a refuse de signer
un tel document.

Depuis lors, aucun document a ete signe qui definirait les obligations
des parties et de la communaute internationale. Le Groupe de Minsk de
l’OSCE, qui a ete cree en 1992, a un mandat purement politique. Et son
groupe de suivi n’enregistre que la situation sans avoir un mandat pour
une intervention ou une assistance dans les questions humanitaires.

Ainsi, les analystes armeniens concluent que l’unicite du conflit du
Karabagh est que les parties armenienne et azerbaïdjanaise prefèrent
des affrontements localises periodiques a l’introduction de forces
d’un pays tiers et le renforcement du rôle des mediateurs.

Les experts notent egalement que l’operation des forces speciales
armeniennes a souleve l’armee armenienne au niveau d’une armee comme la
plus independante et efficace au moins dans la region. La preparation
au combat eleve de l’armee armenienne a ete reconnu par des experts
internationaux aussi avant, mais cette fois l’armee a egalement prouve
qu’elle ne regardera pas les intervenants etrangers et s’acquitterait
de ses tâches.

Dans ce contexte, un changement dans le rôle de l’armee armenienne
dans la politique etrangère de l’Armenie est souligne. Le ministre de
la Defense Seyran Ohanian a declare a plusieurs reprises que l’armee
armenienne n’a pas besoin “d’autres forces >> afin de maintenir
la paix dans la region. Pendant ce temps, l’Armenie poursuit les
negociations sur la base des principes de règlement dits de Madrid,
ce qui implique qu’une force de maintien de la paix internationale
sera introduite dans la region pour faire respecter le traite de paix.

Des experts en Armenie notent que le facteur de l’independance de
la politique etrangère de l’armee armenienne permet de maintenir
l’equilibre militaro-politique et la stabilite relative dans la region.

Georgian, Armenian Currencies Continue To Drop

RFE Friday 5th December, 2014

The Georgian currency, the lari, continued its decline in value to the
U.S. dollar on December 5, reaching a new low of about two lari to one
U.S. dollar.

Since December 1, the lari has lost 6.3 percent of its value to the
U.S. dollar, hitting its lowest point to the greenback in some 10
years.

The president of the Georgia National Bank, Georgi Kadagidze, said the
steep fall was due to “the frenzy of market players, which is
generally characteristic of financial markets in such times.”

He assured the National Bank had already proved its ability to cope
with the situation during times “of much greater upheavals” and added
there was no threat to Georgia’s financial and macroeconomic
stability.

The Armenian national currency, the dram, has also fallen from 435.26
to one U.S. dollar on December 1, to 447.86 on December 5.

`To deal with its past, Turkey must first recognise PKK’s fight for freedom’

by Sultan Coban

Last week’s most discussed topic in Turkish media was the Dersim
Massacre of 1937-1938. The Turkish Prime Minister’s visit to Dersim at
the beginning of last week ignited a heated debate about Dersim. Three
years ago, Erdogan issued a controversial apology for the Dersim
Massacre that was in a way groundbreaking. It sent a strong message to
the public seeing as former ruling parties had previously refused to
call it a massacre or genocide.

The responsibility for the Dersim Massacre lies especially with the
Republican People’s Party (CHP, founded by Atatürk), which ordered the
ethnic cleansing of Kurdish clans led by Seyid Riza. Both Kurdish and
AKP-friendly crowds have criticized the current leader of CHP, Kemal
KılıçdaroÄ?lu, partly because he has hesitated upon speaking about his
own background in Dersim but especially because he as the leader of
the party behind the massacre and several other shameful events in
modern Turkish history has failed to take the responsibility upon
himself.

Following Erdogan’s apology, it has been discussed on several
occasions whether the official name of the city Tunceli should be
changed to Dersim. Der-sim in Kurdish means `silver door’ while
Tunc-eli means `a steel area’. Allegedly, the latter was meant to
symbolize the strength of the inhabitants. Dersim was changed to
Tunceli in 1935, just two years before the massacre.

According to the Turkish-Armenian online newspaper Bolsohays, a great
number of Armenian, Kurdish, Laz and Greek city and village names were
changed during the period between 1923, when the Republic of Turkey
was established, and 1940. The changing of names continued after 1940
when it was officially decided to change location names that did not
have roots in the Turkish language and culture. These alterations were
just a small part of the assimilation policies encompassed by the
Turkification process against the country’s ethnic groups. The
Turkification process is what caused opposition from Seyh Said (1925),
Seyid Riza (1935-1938) and the PKK revolt from the beginning of the
80’s until today.

Bahçeli in Dersim

Shortly after Prime Minister DavutoÄ?lu visited Dersim, the leader of
the ultra-nationalistic party, The Nationalist Movement Party (MHP),
Devlet Bahçeli announced that he, too, would pay a visit to `Tunceli’
on Friday. Prior to that, Bahçeli had expressed at a party meeting
that the objective of the Dersim Massacre was to crack down on
`hypocritical terrorists’ and that he would strike them the same way
today. Bahçeli compared the Dersim resistance to PKK and called those
resisting `that time’s terrorists’. It is not the first time Bahçeli
has voiced such opinions. On the contrary, this was a mild statement
compared to previous ones. However, his statement is important because
it puts the perception of Dersim shared by the majority of Turkish
politicians into words.

It is therefore not surprising that Bahçeli came with a convoy of 500
people from ElazıÄ? when he showed up in Dersim; 250 of them security
guards and police meant to protect Bahçeli from the `rage’ of Dersim.
It was comical to see that Bahçeli had to cut his trip short as he was
met by protesters who obstructed the entrance of Bahçeli and his
nationalistic crowd into the city. Bahçeli was forced to give a speech
on the stairs of the governor’s office where party members could
applaud his speech uninterrupted.

What About Erdogan?

Another important visit took place in Istanbul. It was the Catholic
Pope Francis’ first visit to Turkey. He met with President Erdogan but
also Prime Minister DavutoÄ?lu and Mehmet Görmez, head of the Ministry
for Religious Affairs. The meetings were broadcasted live.

Both Görmez and the Pope expressed messages of peace. Görmez
especially emphasised that ISIS was a threat against the whole world,
including Islam. Görmez furthermore stated that there was a tendency
to Islamophobia in the West, saying it is just as bad as
anti-Semitism.

I noticed that Erdogan’s speech focused mainly on war and chaos, among
other things speaking of ISIS who he called `Daesh.’ He turned the
focus to Assad and expressed disappointment that the West has ignored
Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian war’s real perpetrator, in the coalition’s
strikes against ISIS. As usual, when Erdogan has the chance to speak,
he does not neglect to bash PKK. Erdogan stated that the international
community behaves unjust regarding the `terror’ committed by PKK, a
continuation of a previous comment when he likened PKK to ISIS.

It is interesting that Erdogan continues to use the `terror’ label
whenever he mentions PKK during such a volatile time when Kurds in
Turkey have shown that without PKK there can be no peace negotiation.
AKP, Erdogan’s ruling party, is aware of this seeing as they are in
negotiations with Abdullah Ã-calan, the imprisoned leader of PKK. Yet
it is understandable that Erdogan is trying so hard to create a
monster out of PKK in a moment where voices in the West have expressed
support for PKK’s (and YPG, Kurdish forces in Rojava/Syrian Kurdistan)
rescue of the Yezidis and defense against ISIS in Kobanê. More and
more academics and journalists are re-evaluating the rhetoric used
when talking about PKK and YPG. Some politicians have even called for
delisting PKK from terror lists.

The Danish Foreign Minister, Martin Lidegaard, admitted that the
military aid sent from Denmark to the soldiers in Kurdistan Regional
Government might end up in the hands of YPG. The other country members
of the coalition against ISIS have also found themselves in this
dilemma. When the Western allies `indirectly’ support the YPG with aid
and assistance (the US has openly said they are working with the YPG),
they are sending a strong signal that these so-called Kurdish
`terrorists’ are doing something right. Erdogan is worried that this
change might amount to an international recognition of the Kurdish
people’s history, suffering and freedom movement; something that
provokes him to continue his smear campaign against PKK.

Kobanê and the established confederal self-rule in Rojava is a good
example of a functioning democracy in the Middle East that promotes
women rights by use of positive discrimination. It is a system
inclusive of groups with different ethnic and religious backgrounds; a
system that defends and promotes multiculturalism and multilingualism,
for example by introducing education in every language spoken in the
region. It is a system built on freedom of thought, speech and press.

A young democracy

The situation in Rojava is more complex than portrayed above. Rojava
is a young and growing democracy and there have been incidents of
harsh crackdowns on internal opposition and critics (as reported by
Human Rights Watch in 2013).

Recently, a delegation from a Danish socialist party, the Red-Green
Alliance, visited the Cizire canton in Rojava. One of the delegates,
the political spokesperson Nikolaj Villumsen, spoke at a meeting about
how he witnessed a diverse society in blossoming, which could continue
on to be an example for Iraq and Syria, both currently marred by war
and corruption.

Søren Søndergård, another delegate, spoke of a meeting he had with the
head of Rojava’s human rights commission who openly said that there
had been a number of violations of human rights in the self-ruled
region. Søndergård highlighted the importance of daring to speak of
the flaws and shortcomings of the system.

He mentioned that it is important to view Rojava in the context of
century’s life under dictatorial regimes:

Units like police forces need to understand that you can get people to
talk without beatings and without torture unlike what they are used to
seeing but they know it and it takes time to understand and implement.
But it must not be the reason we refuse the democratic and socialistic
ideology behind the uprising in Rojava.

I recently read an article about PKK on an online website with
statements from a Middle East expert who described PKK as an
authoritarian and suppressive terror movement that kills civilians.
The words are like taken from Erdogan’s mouth.

The article quotes a former PKK spokesperson for Scandinavia, Zeynel
Çelik, who calls PKK dictatorial and totalitarian. Çelik compares
Ã-calan to Saddam and claims that anyone who dares to criticize Ã-calan
is either killed or shunned.

The criticism of Ã-calan as the eternal leader is important but there
are stronger counter-arguments that the article failed to bring. It is
easy to name several former PKK fighters who have spoken against PKK,
conducted smear campaigns against PKK in Turkish media and helped the
Turkish intelligence in the state’s fight against PKK (Ã…?emdin Sakık,
Abdülkadir Aygan og Adil TimurtaÅ?) who have not been killed.

Regarding Çelik’s comment on being shunned, I do not have to emphasize
that it is a culture that exists and is seen in every form of
political organization. Take the Cuba-revolution as an example and
read Che Guevara’s memoirs about members who turned their back on the
movement. We do not even need to go that far back. Even ordinary
political parties distance themselves from former members who conduct
smear campaigns against the party.

If PKK is so totalitarian and authoritarian, would it have progressed
as much as it has since its establishment in 1978? To me, there is a
long way from independence to self-rule and from armed struggle to
ceasefire.

The smear campaign against PKK comes in many shapes and colours but
the common denominator is fear; the fear that there will be an
international recognition of PKK’s struggle and its grounds for
establishment.

Bahçeli and other Turkish politicians’ racist discourse on PKK and
Erdogan’s wish to eliminate PKK by using Kobanê will not be enough to
stop the Rojava revolution.

Patriarch of Jerusalem Speaks out against Karekin II
12.14.2014 09:59SOCIETY

A letter penned by the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem Nourhan Manougian
addressed to Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II about lowering of the
status of the Jerusalem Patriarchate to a Diocese has created great debate
in the Armenian Church.

The Patriarch of Jerusalem stated that he published this second letter on
the internet because he had not received a response to the first letter he
wrote on the same subject matter. The Patriarch’s letter contains strong
criticism of Karekin II.

The Jerusalem Armenian Patriarchate, on of the four autonomous seats of the
Armenian Church along with the Etchmiadzin Catholicosate, the Catholicosate
of the Great House of Cilicia, and the Patriarchate of Istanbul, has
suffered turbulent times since the period during which the late
Patriarchate Torkom Manoogian could not fulfil his duties due to illness.
Archbishop Manougian was elected Jerusalem Armenian Patriarch in January
2013, and made headlines the following May when he wrote a similar letter
accusing Karekin II of meddling in the internal affairs of the Jerusalem
Patriarchate.

`They only think of dollars’

Born in Aleppo, Patriarch Manougian summarizes the reason he penned his
letter published on the internet on the weekend with the words, `As if the
everyday problems the Armenian Church faces with other Christian
communities and the state of Israel were not enough, Etchmiadzin priests,
spurred on by your statement that `The apple never falls far from the tree’
have begun to crucify the Jerusalem Armenian Patriarchate’. The letter also
contains the striking statement, `You tried to pacify the Patriarchates of
Jerusalem and Istanbul before, yet failed. Come, do not attempt this again!’

The Patriarch of Jerusalem accused Karekin II of carrying out all these
actions for material gains, and ended his letter with the words, `The
Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin will continue to be a source of hope and
inspiration for us, but you…’
Etchmiadzin: `Unacceptable’

The tremors the letter caused found a swift response from the Mother See of
Holy Etchmiadzin. On December 1, the Supreme Spiritual Council met in the
Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin and released a statement declaring that `the
manner of the steps taken by His Beatitude Archbishop Nourhan Manougian
[are] unacceptable’. The statement added that Manougian harmed the
reputation and prestige of the Armenian Church with inappropriate language
and actions for a clergyman. The statement also underlined that the
accusation voiced by Manougian relating to the Mother See of Holy
Etchmiadzin turning the Constantinople Patriarchate into a Diocese was
false. Archbishop Aram Atesyan, too, in a statement to the Marmara
newspaper, stated that such a plan did not exist.
Not the first time

This is not the first time that claims have surfaced that the patriarchates
of Jerusalem and Istanbul will be turned into dioceses. It is known that
similar debates took place during the period when Patriarch Mesrob II was
in charge of his duties. For instance, in a letter to Catholicos of All
Armenians Karekin II that he wrote in the year 2000, Patriarch Mesrob II
expressed his discomfort regarding this issue. Mesrob II stated that he
made clear his position to Karekin II the year he assumed his position with
various practices and letters, and added that a patriarch could never be
considered equal to a primate.

On the other hand, heavy criticism aimed at Karekin II continues to build
by the day. Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II is criticized for his
indulgence in money. His appointment of his brother as the Primate of the
Diocese of Russia, his forcing of Archbishop Norvan, Primate of France, to
resign, and his creation of division within the Armenian community in Nice
are all seen as an outcome of his lust for money and power.
Discussed on September 18

The issue had been discussed at the 5th Universal Church Representatives
Meeting held at the Etchmiadzin and chaired by Catholicos Karekin II on
September 28. Vazken Barın, who on behalf of the Istanbul Armenian
Patriarchate travelled to Armenia along with Archbishop Aram Atesyan for
the meeting, said in his statement to Agos on September 26 that the binding
of the Jerusalem and Istanbul Armenian patriarchates to Etchmiadzin had
been discussed at the meeting. Barın had explained that, after he reminded
the meeting that the Istanbul Armenian Patriarchate, founded in 1461
following the conquest of Constantinople by Mehmed II, had existed for
almost 6 centuries and opposed the changing of its status, the decision had
been removed from the final declaration.

Hraparak: Temporary lull in relations between HHK and BHK parties

There is a temporary lull in relations between Republican Party (HHK)
and Prosperous Armenia Party (BHK), ‘Hraparak’ paper says.

“The parties were instructed to keep silent. ‘Armored troop carriers’
of BHK received an instruction from BHK leader Gagik Tsarukyan
personally. Serzh Sargsyan told HHK to be patient. The instruction is
as follows: you may slam members of the troika of non-governing
parties, Levon Ter-Petrosyan, Raffi Hovannisian, and anyone except
Tsarukyan,” the paper writes.

Fishing to be banned in Lake Sevan on December 8-25

Lake Sevan and the rivers flowing into it on December 8-25 was
announced at a consultation in the regional administration of
Gegharkunik province yesterday. An action plan based on the order was
discussed at the consultation attended by Deputy Chief of the Armenian
Police Samvel Hovhannisyan, Deputy Governors of Gegharkunik Andranik
Hakobyan and Karen Hakobyan and other officials, the regional
administration said.

By December 8, it is planned to remove all fishing nets from Lake
Sevan and mobile homes from the lake shores and establish
round-the-clock control on the lake, in markers and points of sale, at
some sections of motorways and roads leading to the lake.

The deputy police chief expressed hope that joint efforts will produce
the desired result – to reduce poaching to a minimum.
