Les Arméniens, fans de ballon rond, ont toujours eu des joueurs au
sein de l’équipe nationale iranienne

Il s’appelle Andranik Teymourian, grand, fort, les cheveux noirs
réunis dans un catogan. >, de son surnom, est né le 6 mars
1983, à Téhéran. Il est aussi le seul joueur chrétien de l’équipe
nationale iranienne de football >, et la grande fierté
des Arméniens d’Iran, mais pas seulement. Pour l’Iran tout entier, il
est devenu un héros.

L’Iran vibre au rythme du ballon rond. On se souvient du match
Iran-États-Unis, lors de la Coupe du monde de football en 1998, en
France, où la dimension politique, compte tenu des relations très
tendues entre les deux pays depuis la crise des otages en 1979, était
au moins aussi -importante que le jeu.

ARMENIE
Le service des taxis en Arménie sent l’influence de l’arrivée des
Arméniens de Syrie

Depuis deux semaines Khose Teperjian, bijoutier de formation, a une
nouvelle profession celle de chauffeur de taxi à Erevan.

>, explique Khose. Khose, 37 ans arménien de Syrie,
ne pense pas que cette attitude bienveillante envers lui est
conditionnée par son origine, mais plutôt par sa propre attitude
envers les clients et le travail.

Pourtant, l’opinion commune à Erevan est que les Arméniens de Syrie
sont très polis et respecteux, ils sont des employés qualifiés, peu
importe, le secteur dans lequel ils sont engagés.

Les chauffeurs de taxi comme Teperjian, propre et bien élevé,
malheureusement, sont devenus rares à Erevan au cours des dernières
années. Le grand nombre de services de taxis opérant à Erevan n’a pas
créé une saine concurrence, au contraire, la plupart des services de
taxi offrent des voitures sales et défectueuses, des conducteurs
désordonnés, qui violent les règles de la circulation, souvent fument
ou écoutent de la musique forte et semblent donner l’impressio nde
travailler à contrecoeur.

Cette situation pourrait être causée par des raisons objectives,
compte tenu du fait que les conducteurs sont sans protection sociale,
avec des heures supplémentaires de travail, sans accords appropriés et
de ce fait de nombreux citoyens d’Erevan ont eu une expérience
désagréable avec les chauffeurs de taxi rustres. Certains se
souviennent avec nostalgie de l’époque soviétique, lorsque la sphère
du service de taxi était réglementée par l’État, les pilotes devaient
passer des examens professionnels et médicaux, pour obtenir
l’autorisation de travailler et toutes les voitures devaient être
examinées avant le travail.

>, dit Khose. >.

Khose et son épouse Gayane ont quitté la Syrie en mars dernier, un an
après ils se soient mariés. Malgré la guerre, le couple a décidé de
faire une fête de mariage et une cérémonie à l’église.

se souvient avec le
sourire Gayane 33 ans.

Gayane et Khose se sont rencontrés dans un atelier de bijouterie, où
ils ont travaillé tous les deux pendant 11 ans ; Khose était un
bijoutier, et Gayane était gestionnaire.

>.

La famille est arrivée à Erevan et a trouvé un appartement d’une
chambre pour 150 $ sur la rue Komitas. Khose a trouvé du travail comme
serveur dans un café. Le salaire fixe était de 5 $ par jour, plus les
pourboires, le montant était à peine suffisant pour couvrir le loyer
et les frais de nourriture. L’ami de Khose lui conseilla de travailler
au service de taxi, où le profit journalier peut atteindre 15 $.

La famille Teperjian est l’une des nombreuses familles syriennes qui
ont trouvé refuge en Arménie depuis que le conflit en Syrie a
commencé. Selon le ministère de la Diaspora, l’Arménie a reçu plus de
10000 Arméniens de Syrie.

Un logement et un emploi sont les obstacles qui se posent le plus de
problèmes aux nouveaux arrivants, beaucoup partent parce qu’ils ne
peuvent pas trouver un emploi.

Ceux qui restent, s’adaptent progressivement au nouvel environnement
dans la patrie historique. Le dialecte arménien occidental, parlé par
les Arméniens de Syrien, peut être entendu aujourd’hui dans des
dizaines de bistrots, restaurants et magasins, principalement dans le
centre d’Erevan.

Et plus récemment, les Arméniens de Syrie sont devenus des chauffeurs de taxi.

Dans le taxi, le service Orange, où Khose travaille, sept conducteurs
sur 19 sont des Arméniens de Syrie. Selon Movses Shahnazaryan, le
directeur du service de taxi, il collabore volontairement avec les
Arméniens de Syrie.

Armenian analyst considers Edward Nalbandian’s participation in
Turkish president’s swearing-in ceremony to be a diplomatic mistake

by Ashot Safaryan
Friday, August 29, 19:53

The impression is that Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
visited Turkey for the sake of appearance, Armenian publicist Sargis
Hatspanyan said at today’s press conference in Yerevan. He considers
Edward Nalbandian’s participation in Turkish president’s swearing-in
ceremony to be a diplomatic mistake.

“Official Yerevan’s decision to send the first diplomat to the
swearing-in ceremony of the president of the country with which it
lacks diplomatic relations is a rough mistake. It is even needless to
say that during his premiership, the new president of Turkey
repeatedly made anti-Armenian statements”, said Hatspanyan.

He said that the Turkish media outlets ironically speculated on the
goals of the Armenian Foreign Minister’s visit and mentioned
Sargsyan’s letter only in the form of suppositions. “So, it is simply
ridiculous to say that the Armenian foreign policy is self-motivated
and that the Armenian minister was able to impose his agenda on
Turkey”, he said.

Hatspanyan compared Nalbandian’s visit to Turkey with Turkish FM Ahmet
Davutoglu’s Dec 2013 visit to Yerevan. He said that on the threshold
of the Turkish minister’s visit a statement was made at the official
level that there would be no meeting of ministers, but Davutoglu came
to Yerevan and made the Armenian party meet with him. “He came to
Yerevan and took the initiative. The same cannot be said about
Nalbandian’s visit”, the publicist said.

Paul Roberts: "Russia is not interested in a conflict on its borders

Vestnik Kavkaza, Russia
Aug 28 2014

Paul Roberts: “Russia is not interested in a conflict on its borders.
It is beneficial for the U.S.”

28 August 2014 – 11:21am

Paul Roberts, the founder of Reaganomics, an ex-assistant secretary of
the treasury for economic policy, deputy editor and columnist of Wall
Street Journal, an ex-columnist of Business Week and Scripps Howard
News Service, is confident that Russia remains an obstacle for U.S.
hegemony. To neutralize Moscow, Washington violated the
Reagan-Gorbachev agreement, expanded the NATO to post-Soviet
territories and wants Georgia and Ukraine to join NATO. Roberts
describes his vision of the situation in the Caspian Region in an
interview with Vestnik Kavkaza.

– How important is the Caspian Region for the U.S., Russia and the
world as a whole?

– It is a very serious issue for Washington. Most Americans know
nothing about the Caspian Region. It is an additional opportunity to
conduce the disintegration of the Russian Federation and adjoining
former parts of the USSR and Russia itself to the Western anti-Russian
union. That is why the U.S. is working actively to gain the support of
the countries. I think that such work is a serious problem for the
Russian government, because Washington is carrying out active sabotage
on Russia’s borders. That is why the strategic importance of the
region for Russia is in the fact that Washington challenges Russia on
territories that used to be in the orbit of Russia’s influence.

– Do you think Washington is successful in this course?

– I suppose so. Not in everything, but in certain cases it is very
successful. The U.S. has already subjugated Ukraine, which is beyond
the region. They have subjugated Georgia and are making plans for
post-Soviet republics in Central Asia where, I think, their policy
will be successful because money does wonders. It is a weapon
Washington uses quite successfully.

– What do you think would be better for the countries of the region?
Maybe they would be better under U.S. protection?

– Better in what sense? They will be mired in a conflict with Russia,
involvement in conflict will not benefit anyone. American interests in
the region are about weakening Russia. Splitting the Russian
Federation is the goal of American foreign policy.

– It seems that all countries in the modern world, not only countries
of the former USSR, should make a choice whether to be with the U.S.
or Russia. Can there be any intermediate variant?

– I do not think that the Russian government gives other countries
such a choice. It is the position of Washington. Washington says: “You
are either with us or against us.” I doubt that the Russian government
wants the disintegration of the U.S. The problem is that American
foreign policy is based on the Wolfowitz Doctrine [Paul Wolfowitz was
the under secretary of defense in 2001-2005, Dick Cheney’s deputy in
1989-1993. He is the author of the Defense Planning Guidance of 1992,
where he described the principles of American hegemony in a unipolar
world. The document became the foundation of the National Security
Strategy. According to the doctrine, the U.S. needs to stop revival of
Russia because Russia is quite big and has enough resources to
challenge American domination in the world. The U.S. cannot allow its
leadership to limited by anything. Washington takes an aggressive,
hostile position towards Russia. I think Russia is partly responsible
for that.

– What about the frozen conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan that
cannot be resolved? Is it really that hard or is one of the sides
involved in the conflict, is Russia or the U.S. interested in
preserving the status quo?

– Russia is not interested in a conflict on its borders. It gets no
advantage from. At the same time, it is beneficial for the U.S. I bet
Washington is behind it.

– Recently, many journalists are trying to collide Russia and
Azerbaijan, the relations between which are good-neighbourly.
Newspapers are making many articles on the problem of human rights in
Azerbaijan. Someone is trying to escalate the situation. Why is it
being done? Why is someone trying to bring up Russia against
Azerbaijan?

– I have already described this strategy of Washington. It is about
creating discord in the RF, to create many problems for Russia so that
the Russian government would not hinder realization of U.S. ambitions
in any other parts of the world. You should bear in mind that the
Russian government and the British parliament blocked the American
initiative to invade Syria. The Russian government prevented
realization of the American initiative to attack Iran, proposing a
diplomatic solution for uranium enrichment in the region. Thus, Russia
has stopped the U.S. plans twice, using its influence. It outraged
Washington and they concentrated on ousting the Ukrainian government
to create serious problems for Russia on its own territory. Ukraine
has been a part of Russia for centuries. They also concentrated
efforts in other lines. For example, they are working in Stalin’s
homeland, Georgia, a former part of the USSR and Russia. The U.S. will
continue such activities everywhere. Russia will only get into more
trouble.

David Babayan: Azerbaijan’s stand on Yazidis of Iraq describes it as

David Babayan: Azerbaijan’s stand on Yazidis of Iraq describes it as a
Nazi country

by Marianna Lazarian
Thursday, August 28, 16:13

Azerbaijan’s stand on Yazidis of Iraq describes it as a Nazi country,
NKR President’s Spokesperson David Babayan told ArmInfo, when
commenting on Azerbaijan’s calls for OSCE to respond to settlement of
Yazidis in Nagorno Karabakh.

“They prefer further genocide of Yazidis to their rescue, even if few
people somehow manage to reach Nagorno Karabakh,” Babayan said. In
this light, he said, the world community must impose sanctions on
Azerbaijan after such statements. “Azerbaijan’s statement actually
means continuation of the genocide of Yazidis,” he said.

According to Babayan, Artsakh has already expressed its political
stand on the given issue. “We think genocide of the Yazidi people is
happening now. The world community and relevant bodies must respond
immediately. We believe that Yazidis are part of the Armenian people
and they went through all the difficulties as we did. We have had a
common fate, at least, over the last centuries. That is why, what is
happening to Yazidis is qualified as genocide, and genocide of Yazidis
is genocide of Armenians. This is what we think on the issue. We have
already expressed our readiness to help them as much as we can,”
Babayan said.

Earlier today, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s Spokesman, Elman
Abdullayev said Azerbaijan urges the OSCE Minsk Group to sharply
respond to “the illegal placement of Kurdish Yazidis in the occupied
region of Nagorno-Karabakh.” “Such attempts and actions impede the
negotiation process over Nagorno- Karabakh, and are contrary to the
Fourth Geneva Convention,” Abdullayev said.

To recall, Aziz Tamoyan, Head of the Yezidi Community in Armenia, told
ArmInfo the World Union of Yezidis has decided to settle 200 Yezidi
families suffering persecutions and violence by Islamic militants in
Artsakh.

On 15 August, Armenia’s Foreign Ministry reported the Government will
send humanitarian aid in the amount of $50,000 to the Iraqi Yazidis
that fled their homes to avoid extermination by ISIS militants.
Later, on 18 August, Armen Saghatelyan, Spokesperson of Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said the president charged diplomatic
missions abroad to redouble efforts towards settlement of the given
problem. The president and prime minister mull to increase the
envisaged humanitarian aid to the Iraqi Yazidis. The issue of
humanitarian aid will be settled in a few days, he said.

Armenia welcomes the California Senate resolution recognizing the
independence of Artsakh.

“We welcome the decision of the California Senate to recognize the
independence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic,” Armenian Foreign
Minister Edward Nalbandian said in a statement.

“The longer Azerbaijan obstacles the efforts of Armenia and the Minsk
Group Co-Chairs targeted at the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict, the more communities will adopt decisions and resolutions,
paving the way for the international recognition of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic,” the Foreign Minister added.
