Turkish envoy says Azerbaijan should grant visas to Armenian officers
Azad Azarbaycan TV, Baku
9 Sep 04
[Presenter Namiq Aliyev] The Turkish ambassador to Azerbaijan,
Ahmet Unal Cevikoz, believes that official Baku should grant visas
to the Armenian officers to take part in the NATO exercises [on 13-26
September]. He explains his position by the Azerbaijani government’s
commitments to NATO.
[Cevikoz speaking to journalists in Turkish] The Armenians’ involvement
in the Azerbaijan-hosted exercises is a very sensitive issue. But
one should bear in mind that after joining the Partnership for Peace
Programme, Azerbaijan made commitments regarding its relations with
NATO. One of these commitments is to give an opportunity to all NATO
members and partners to take part in exercises on its territory. If
Armenia wants to observe the Azerbaijan-hosted exercises and has
appealed over the issue, Azerbaijan should provide this opportunity.

Ossetian President pinned down
Pravda, Russia
Sept 9 2004
Last weekend the streets of Beslan were full of military and the
police.
The authorities are making precautions not to allow bloody vendetta
in the North Caucasus region. The situation is serious indeed.
The relatives of the dead request the names of all the terrorists.
The special services say that they know the names of the terrorists,
but are not in a hurry to make the names public. The cause is obvious
– the memories of the clashes between Ossetians and Ingush in the
beginning of the 1990s are still alive.
The people of Ossetia are angry that their official leader, President
Alexander Dzasokhov was not very noticeable during the hostage
crisis. From the very beginning, the terrorists requested Dzasokhov
for negotiations, but the head of the republic restrained from coming
to Beslan and preferred to communicate with the outer world through
his press department.
Later, on September 4, Mr. Dzasokhov issued an address to the
citizens of Ossetia republic. “I want to apologize to all whose
home has been struck by grief. I am telling about this as failed
to safeguard our children, our teachers and our parents”, said the
official and added. “Our grief is immense, but we cannot be divided
in this hour. The opponents of mutual consent and those willing to
see our country and the peoples of Caucasus divided, should not be
given the gift of our conflicts”.
However, the citizens of North Ossetia seemed stopped to believe the
words of their president. Many thousands of people participated in
the demonstrations in Ossetian capital Vladikavkaz, demanding the
republic”s leaders resignation. The organizers of the demonstrations
say this is just a beginning. Their demonstrations are peaceful now,
but what if.
They say, however, that the entire Ossetian people does not want
Dzasokhov to resign, some “forces” are pushing forward the idea of
resignation. According to North Ossetia Interior Ministry, an elderly
man and a middle-aged woman have been seen at the meetings of people
and officials in Beslan. These two pronounce accusations to the
authorities, such as, “You killed our children!”, and then disappear
in the crowd. Many people saw them, but none caught them. Probably,
they are just phantoms of people”s imagination.
Kommersant reporter who was at the demonstration in Vladikavkaz,
heard as a young Ossetian called for driving all the Ingush out of
the republic. “Those who will refuse to leave, should be destroyed.
Then we should deal with Jews. Then with Armenians. Then with
Chechens. And separate ourselves from Russia. There is no other way”.
However, even considering that somebody is influencing the North
Ossetian people on purpose, the threat of chaos and massacre is very
serious. Last Sunday thousands of Ossetian people tried to attack the
Ingush in the households of Prigorodny neighborhood of Vladikavkaz.
The authorities hardly prevented massacre, the police persuaded the
men to go home.
P.S. The clashes between Ossetians and Ingush became the first hot spot
in North Caucasus region. The conflict was caused by the dispute over
the territory of Prigorodny district of Vladikavkaz which had always
been considered as Ingush”s. In 1944 the charges of collaboration with
fascist Germany were brought against Chechen-Ingush republic. Local
people were deported, and Prigorodny district was given to North
Ossetia. In 1957, the repressed peoples were rehabilitated. However,
the authorities did not return Prigorodny district to Ingush, the
Ingush were given a part of Stavropol region instead. After the
break-up of the USSR, Chechnya and Ingushetia separated themselves,
and Chechnya took over the former part of Stavropol region.
Until December 1992, no presence of Russian authorities was seen in
the Caucasus republics. Ingush leaders were quick to take advantage
of this, provided that the first elections of local authorities
were scheduled in the republic for October 1992. Simultaneously, in
North Ossetia paramilitary units started being formed – so called
“republican guard” and “people”s militia”. On October 31, 1992
Ingush military units started advancing to Prigorodny district. As
a response, North Ossetian people”s militia backed by the units from
South Ossetia, conducted bigger massacre of the Ingush. The clashes
lasted for several days until Russian military interfered. Today both
the Ossetians and Ingush try to prove that the disputable territory
is theirs, organize demonstrations and so on.
Today, the key issues of the conflict are: the Ingush people return
to their previous places of residence in North Ossetia and the
status of Prigorodny district. For North Ossetian authorities,
the pressing issues are the status of migrants, their return in
Prigorodny district and Vladikavkaz, and arranging negotiations on
the status of Prigorodny district. The federal authorities pursue the
policy of finding compromise between Ossetia and Ingushetia, which
is difficult to do because of different interpretations of the law
“On Repressed Peoples”, and the legislations of both the republics
which limit possible compromises. After electing Murat Zyazikov the
President of Ingushetia, the trend for compromise between the two
republics has been clearly seen.

SCHOOL IN NEW FOUNDED VILLAGE
Azat Artsakh – Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
8 Sept 04
As in all the other regions, in Nor Shahoumian also the program of
resettlement is implemented. Here, near historical Handaberd a new
village was founded a year and a half ago and was named Knaravan after
the deceased mother of the family Harutyunian who fund the construction
of the village. Building works in the village are supervised by
the union of public organizations “Yerkir”. Narek Harutyunian told
that two years ago he had met in Karabakh with the chairman of the
union “Yerkir” Sevak Artsrouni and decided to choose an area for
the village. They approved of the area for several reasons. First,
its strategic importance. Besides the scenery is very beautiful and
surrounded with historical monuments. He says they could build a
village anywhere, and also in the Republic of Armenia, which would
be much easier, but choosing the liberated areas, building a village,
sowing seeds there is already a brave step. The implementation of the
program started in May 2003. By now the construction of 11 houses has
already been completed, and the building of four houses still goes on.
Presently the village is inhabited by 4 families, and this year it is
planned to settle all the other houses as well. A school has been built
in the village as well, which was opened on September 3 this year. At
the ceremony of opening were present the husband of Knar Harutyunian
and their two sons Narek and Komitas who had arrived from America. The
joint Armenia-Lebanon chamber choir “Komitas” was invited as well. It
should be mentioned that not a single member of the government was
present at this memorable event. After the opening the participants
of the ceremony visited the church (its name is not known) located
on the adjacent hill to see the historical monument. By the way, the
chairman of the organization “Avetyats Yerkir” Vahram Gevorgian said
that the Institute of Archaeology of Armenia has recently explored the
ruined church. They found a khachkar with an inscription dating to the
13th century but the building inscription of the church has not been
discovered yet. According to Vahram Gevorgian, after the exploration
the church will be restored (again on the funding of the family). The
program implemented on the funds of the family Harutyunian is not
limited to 15 houses and the school building. This year in Knaravan the
building of the municipality, the surgery and a cattle-shed for each
family will be built. By the way, the sponsors also aim at implementing
a program of developing cattle-breeding and providing the inhabitants
with livestock. This is the first stage of the program. In the second
stage it is planned to continue the construction of houses along the
other side of the river, which will extend up to the village Chapni,
and the two villages will join under the name Knaravan.

Foreign investment in Armenian economy is up
Noyan Tapan news agency
6 Sep 04
Yerevan, 6 September: In January-June 2004, the amount of foreign
investment (without credits obtained via state departments and banking
systems) totalled 106.3m dollars, of which 64.7m was direct investment.
According to the Armenian National Statistics Service, against the
same period of 2003, the overall amount of foreign investment grew
by 41.2 per cent, and direct investment by 79.1 per cent. Overall
foreign investment in the real sector without the privatization fund
increased by 43.7 per cent, and direct investment by 85.6 per cent,
as compared with 2003.
Over this period, 39.1 per cent of overall foreign investment and 32.7
per cent of direct investment were channelled into the communications
sector. Of these, 26.9 per cent of direct investment went into the food
and beverages production sector, and 15.6 per cent – to air transport.
In the first six months of 2004, the largest amount of direct
investment in Armenia came from Greece (21.1m dollars), France (13.6m
dollars), Argentina (10.7m dollars). The USA also accounts for a big
share of investment in Armenia – up to 15.1m dollars. Russia, as the
owner or co-owner of Armenian enterprises, invested in Armenia 5.7m
dollars as compared with 19.8m dollars in 2003.

Azeri ministry in talks with NATO over Armenians’ participation in Baku exercise
ANS TV, Baku
6 Sep 04
Representatives of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry are in
negotiations with NATO officials in Brussels on the participation of
Armenian servicemen in the NATO exercises in Baku. Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammadyarov has told the Interfax-Azerbaijan news agency that
Azerbaijan’s stance will be brought to the attention of NATO officials
during the Brussels consultations. The minister noted that during
the negotiations the parties were mainly calculating the number of
servicemen Armenia will send to the exercises. Stressing that Baku
has taken many obligations to NATO, the minister said that refusing
these could be a blow to the individual cooperation plan between
Azerbaijan and NATO.

Polish minister says Iraq wants Polish force to stay
Trybuna, Warsaw
3 Sep 04
Excerpt from an interview with Polish Defence Minister Jerzy
Szmajdzinski by Andrzej Rudnicki, entitled “Fitful sleep” published
by Polish newspaper Trybuna on 3 September
Rudnicki Do thoughts of Iraq cause you to lose sleep?
Szmajdzinski Yes, all too often. I do not think that is a good sign.
Rudnicki One year has passed since the multinational division under
the Polish command took over the south-central sector of Iraq. Was
it worth going in there?
Szmajdzinski If we look at it in the broader perspective, I think
it was. The very difficult and risky decisions we made, counter to
what the general public said, only go to show that Poland sees its
security to be indivisible. Our involvement in missions of this sort
stems from the need to ensure international security. This stood true
50 years ago, and it stood true one year ago. Iraq is a safer place
without Saddam, but that does not mean the process that is currently
under way in that country is secure.
Rudnicki Still, the reasons for attacking Iraq have proved to be
very dubious.
Szmajdzinski The US and UK intelligence services made their
miscalculations. Saddam refused to implement more than a dozen UN
Security Council resolutions. Iraq refused to observe the principles
that we had all embraced within the UN charter. The Saddam regime
threatened the Iraqi people and the entire population of the Middle
East. On the whole, our arguments seem to stand strong.
Passage omitted .
Rudnicki You had no doubt that Polish troops were sacrificing their
lives for a just cause?
Szmajdzinski Our activity in Iraq was received with support and
gratitude. Throughout one year we implemented projects developing
the Iraqi infrastructure, health care system, and education worth a
total of 50m zlotys approx. 13.6m dollars . The international community
was split when the operation began. Today, however, it has no doubt
that the situation in Iraq must be stabilized. The process is under
way: there is a provisional Iraqi government in place and Iraq has
a president.
Prime Minister Marek Belka received a letter from his Iraqi counterpart
Iyad Allawi on Thursday 2 September . He has heard that we are
planning to reduce the number of our troops in his country. He is
asking us not to do it and prevent destabilization. President Ghazi
Mish’al Ajil al-Yawar is to visit Poland in the next few days. A
delegation of the Iraqi Defence Ministry has visited us recently,
declaring that the Iraqi authorities expect us to keep our troops
in their country and help them develop and equip their army. Despite
the risks we have taken and the lives we have lost, we are carrying
out our mission of returning Iraq back to the Iraqi people.
Rudnicki What has Poland gained after one year of involvement in
the operation?
Szmajdzinski I find it difficult to talk about this. The Polish
government did not set any conditions when it made its decision. We
are carrying out this mission to ensure security in that part of the
world in the belief that it contributes to Polish and international
security. People abroad are speaking about Poland more kindly and
warmly today, they speak of our involvement and credibility. At
least this is what I see in my international contacts. In my view,
this translates into a warmer climate surrounding Poland as a serious
participant in these events.
Rudnicki Talks on the fourth shift of the Polish contingent in Iraq
have begun at the Warsaw Citadel. Will our troops be reduced in line
with earlier announcements, or will the Polish authorities heed the
Iraqi pleas and change their stance?
Szmajdzinski Taking part in the conference are representatives of
states involved in our division and Armenia, a new partner that is to
send 50 servicemen to Iraq. No one, Poland included, will reduce their
contingents before the Iraqi elections scheduled for January. We have
also decided to hand over Babylon back to the Iraqis. The command of
the division will probably relocate to Al-Kadisiyah Province. We will
pull out of Karbala. The division will be relocated to the Babil,
Wasit and Al-Kadisiyah provinces.
Rudnicki Will there be fewer troops?
Szmajdzinski Maybe. We are not discussing the size of the new
contingent at this point. This depends on how the situation in Iraq
develops, how the political process proceeds, and how soon an Iraqi
army that can replace us is formed. I am a moderate optimist as far as
the next few months are concerned. Our UN mandate expires at the turn
of 2005 and 2006. This means our military mission will come to an end
then. Unless the Iraqi government wants us to leave earlier, that is.
Rudnicki Thank you for the interview.

Armenian Lullabies
Hasmik Harutyunyan
with the Shoghaken Ensemble
Forget the don’t-you-cry stuff. This may one of the very few albums to
contain a lullaby based on an incident of genocide, and it’s a surpassingly
beautiful tune, with a serenity that stems as much from heart-sore
resignation as from a desire to get that wee one to sleep. Armenian women in
the villages where most of these tunes were gathered had hard lives and
little freedom, a condition that makes many of these folk lullabies sound
like the night’s bitter farewell to the privations of the day. Harutyunyan’s
voice has an earthy purity that’s just right for this music, which often
unfolds against little more than a wheezing flute introduction and a hushed
drone. — R. E.-G.

BOMBS AND PRAYERS IN OCCUPIED ST. MAMMAS CHURCH
Friday September 3, 2004, Gibrahayer – The Holy Church of Ayios Mammas
became the center of religion and politics during the course of last
week, as one week after it was bombed and burned by “Grey Wolves”
extremists in the Turkish occupied north, it welcomed thousands
of Greek Cypriot pilgrims who crossed to the north for the first
religious ceremony in thirty years.
During the celebrations, Turkish and Greek Cypriots gathered not far
from the Church to voice their desire for peace and reunification
in a peace rally. Earlier in the week, Turkish extremists had held
demonstrations against the opening of the Church saying that “they
did not want to hear the bells of the Church ever again”.
Greek Cypriots are still in search for a unified political line in
post-referendum and post-EU Cyprus where regional real politic and
European democratic norms clash against the reality of 40,000 Turkish
troops, a Turkish pseudo-state seeking recognition, 200,000 refugees
and more than 1,000 people missing in action since the Turkish invasion
of 1974.
MELKONIAN ALUMNI HIRE CALIFORNIA LAWYERS TO FIGHT SCHOOL’S CLOSURE
Wednesday September 1: Cyprus Mail- THE worldwide alumni of the
Melkonian Educational Institute (MEI) have hired a group of California
lawyers to challenge the closure of the Nicosia-based secondary school,
they said yesterday.
Under their recently established umbrella body, the Melkonian Alumni
and Friends, a non-profit US foundation, the alumni have hired legal
counsel MacCarley & Rosen of Los Angeles to oppose the planned closure
of the 78-year old Armenian school in June 2005.
This alumni is working in parallel with the local Melkonian Alumni
Associations in Cyprus, Greece, the UK, Canada, the US, Armenia,
Lebanon, Australia and elsewhere.
Similar legal actions are also expected to be filed in Cyprus, as
well as other jurisdictions, a statement issued yesterday said.
The loss making MEI, which is sitting on 40 acres of prime real
estate worth around £40 million in the capital’s commercial district,
has been slated to close next year by the New York based Armenian
General Benevolent Union (AGBU), which administers 22 Armenian
schools worldwide.
The AGBU said last November that the school was not for sale but then
changed tack and announced the closure three months later.
Teachers at the Melkonian have said that last year the school’s
population was reduced from 260 to 210 after the AGBU unilaterally
decided to reduce scholarships to underprivileged children from the
Armenian Diaspora.
By claiming that standards are not up so scratch, staff say the AGBU
is trying to use the them as a scapegoat for their decision to close
the school in order to sell the land and that they are using devious
methods to reduce the student population of the school in order to
turn it into a non-viable school and ultimately to close it.
“The MEI has educated and nurtured more than three generations
of Armenian professionals and leaders and is a unique educational
institution in the Armenian Diaspora,” the alumni statement said
yesterday.
“It provides superior academic training with Western standards to
a diverse group of Armenian boys and girls from different countries
and social backgrounds.”
NO MEDALS FOR ARMENIAN OLYMPIC TEAM
Armenia This Week [email protected] – Armenia’s 18-person team won
no medals, as the 2004 Summer Olympics in Greece concluded over the
weekend. Diaspora Armenians fared better winning at least one gold,
one silver and several bronze medals.
Armen Ghazaryan placed fourth in weightlifting, shy of a medal by only
about a pound of his own weight, and Norair Bakhtamyan also placed
fourth in shooting. Four wrestlers, two weightlifters and one boxer
from the Armenia team finished in the top ten of their respective
competitions. Armenia won one gold and one silver medal in 1996 and
one bronze in the 2000 Olympics. 
Baku-born Karina Aznavourian won a team fencing gold for Russia,
her second in as many Olympics. Three Gyumri natives, Ara Abrahamian,
Artiom Kiureghian and Mkhitar Manukian, won silver and bronze medals
in wrestling for Sweden, Greece and Kazakhstan, respectively. Another
wrestler, Masis-born Armen Nazarian secured a bronze medal for
Bulgaria.

POKHAN KHMPAKRAGANI
Dear friends,
I enclose herewith my latest copyrighted article entitled Dreaming
West & Moving East? that focuses on the European Union & Turkey as it
tackles the problems of accession. This three-page article has been
submitted to the Spectator magazine in London, and will also be posted
on the customary hyperlinks. Fyi, and as from mid-September 2004,
I shall have my own website too. dr harry bv hagopian, LL.D, KOG-KSL
In calm water, every ship has a good captain!  (Swedish proverb)
Gibrahayer is posting Dr.Harry Hagopian’s conclusions, pokhan
khmpakragani ! You can read the complete article by clicking here
  There are those who profess that Turkey’s membership to the EU would
put a stop to its rampant nationalism and curb the stranglehold of
the military establishment on democracy, human rights and fundamental
freedoms. Others also use the ‘religious card’ as an argument in
favour of accession. Turkey must be admitted to the EU, they say, to
prove that Europe is not a Christian club. From a more subjective
perspective, some Armenians also add that such a step would force
Turkey to remove its blockade of Armenia and that EU citizenship
would provide Armenian Turks with freedom of movement.
Notwithstanding those arguments, which could ostensibly be either right
or wrong, the trenchant fact remains that Turkey has not fulfilled
the criteria that would allow its admission into the EU club. I am
not yet convinced that a credible argument could be made today for
Turkey’s EU accession. Moreover, I reject the expedient religious
card since it is tantamount to stating that Israel must be admitted
into the Arab League to prove that it is not a Muslim club.
Four months shy of the cut-off date of December 2004, I recognise that
the political and socio-economic stakes are high, and therefore the
bars must correspondingly be high too. However, I do not live in a
political dreamland either, and I realise that the ultimate decision
for or against accession will be made in the uncompromisingly
introverted political corridors of power – not at the European
Parliament or in the intellectual corridors of a think tank.
Might I therefore suggest two litmus tests? The burden of proof
should rest on Turkey to prove unequivocally that it meets all
the Copenhagen criteria in order to ensure that its accession would
enhance rather than impede the EU. Turkey should also lift the fog of
untruth that surrounds its denial to the Armenian Genocide by assuming
responsibility for the aggregate crimes perpetrated against Armenian
Turks by its predecessor regime.
If this were to happen in a transparent and verifiable way, and
reciprocity establishes its relevance in Armenian-Turkish relations,
I re-iterate a promise I made to a Turkish journalist friend last
week that I would personally welcome Turkey into the EU. But Merhaba
is a sign of welcome that comes with trust and definition. It is not
a giveaway greeting ..! © hbv-H @ 28 August 2004
