SECRET POLICE CHARGE DENIED BY EU CANDIDATE
by Jamie Smyth In Brussels
The Irish Times
October 28, 2006 Saturday
ROMANIA: Romania’s candidate for the post of EU commissioner has
rejected allegations that he collaborated with secret police during
the communist era or accepted corrupt payments.
Romanian prime minister Calin Tariceanu and president Traian Basescu
also backed their nominee yesterday, describing media reports carrying
the allegations as unsubstantiated.
However, senator Varujan Vosganian, who was nominated on Thursday
for the high profile post, has still not received the endorsement of
European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, leading some EU
insiders to speculate he is now a “dead man walking”.
Mr Barroso’s spokesman said consultations were still ongoing over
Romania’s nominee, who is relatively unknown in Brussels circles.
“There are no specific vetting procedures but there are certain
requirements that a member of the commission must fulfil,” said the
spokesman, who denied there were problems with the nominee. “No one
is afraid of anything, people are consulting.”
Media reports in Romania carried two specific allegations against
Mr Vosganian: that he collaborated with the Securitate secret police
during the communist era and that he received money inappropriately
from a businessman.
At a press conference in Bucharest Mr Vosganian strenuously denied
the allegations.
“I had never co-operated . . . with the Securitate or intelligence
organs,” he said. “Since 1990 my income came exclusively from my
salary as senator, leader of the Armenian community and the writers’
union, and dividends from my two small companies.” EU sources said Mr
Barroso was being very careful to scrutinise Mr Vosganian’s background
before deciding whether to back him. “He doesn’t want a repeat of
the Buttiglione affair,” said one source, referring to the European
Parliament’s rejection of the Italian nominee to the commission in
2004, who Mr Barroso had supported.
Other sources predicted Mr Vosganian was a “dead man walking” after
failing to get the endorsement of Mr Barroso at a meeting with him
on Thursday.
Mr Barroso endorsed Bulgaria’s nominee after a meeting on the same day.
Difficulties over the appointment of the Romanian commissioner
coincided with renewed tensions between EU officials and industry
commissioner Gunter Verheugen.
Civil servants are reported to have asked for Mr Verheugen’s
resignation following his strong criticism of EU officials.
Earlier this month the German commissioner launched a scathing
attack on officials saying they are far too powerful, have their own
fiefdoms and advance their own opinions as the official position of
the commission.

ETHNIC ARMENIAN MOVEMENT RALLIES IN SOUTHERN GEORGIA TO DEMAND
RELEASE OF LEADER
[Presenter] Supporters of the Javakhk movement are holding a rally in
front of the cultural centre in Akhalkalaki [a predominantly ethnic
Armenian town in southern Georgia]. The Javakhk members are calling
for one of their leaders, Vakhtang (?Chakhalyan), to be released.
Chakhalyan was one of those behind the seizure of the local
administration building in Akhalkalaki on 8 October. He is being held
in Yerevan. Young people appeared at the rally in special outfits
with Armenian flags on their sleeves. Political statements are being
made at the rally.
[Arab Batoyan, addressing crowd in Russian] Those who want to improve
their lives risk being arrested. Today it will be for illegally
crossing the border but tomorrow it could be for breathing in too
much air. We call on the leaders of Armenia and Georgia not to
resolve their problems at the expense of the future of Javakhk
[Javakheti] and to take into account the interests of our people. We
gathered here to demand the immediate release of illegally detained
Chakhalyan. Thank you.
[Artur Polosyan, captioned as Javakhk member, addressing crowd in
Russian] In all these years not one job has been created. The
government of this country promised to create thousands of jobs in
Akhalkalaki to replace those lost when the Russian military base is
withdrawn. However, that has not yet happened. That could lead to a
tense social and economic situation. It is not possible to resolve
social and economic problems in the region just by painting the
facades of buildings.

DOKURCUM MILL, SILENT WITNESS OF MASSACRE
Turkish Press
Oct 25 2006
GAZIANTEP – “Dokurcum mill in (southeastern city of) Gaziantep where
14 Turkish youths were shot to death by French soldiers should be
restored,” Tourism Association Chairman Bekir Sitki Severoglu said.
Speaking to the A.A correspondent, Severoglu stated, “French soldiers
committed massacres in Gaziantep (in 1920). All countries should be
informed on this matter.”
Severoglu noted, “I took several initiatives to condemn France,
but I did not receive any positive answer on the matter.”
He indicated that “Dokurcum Mill Monument” should be erected against
the French draft law criminalizing denial of so-called Armenian
genocide.
A group of French soldiers executed 14 Turkish youths by shooting in
front of Dokurcum Mill on March 28th, 1920 (during Gaziantep Defence
in Turkish National Independence War).

AHEAD OF ERITREA

Aravot, Armenia
Oct 25 2006
RCF famous international organization, recording regress in the
freedom of press in Armenia has put our country in the 101st place
from 168, 12 points lower than it was last year. Our neighbors, Turkey
and Georgia are more ahead. Certainly our authorities may console
themselves from the fact that Ukraine, Russia and Azerbaijan yield
us in the freedom of the press. Not to mention Belarus, Uzbekistan,
Turkmenistan and Eritrea. RCF mentions that self-censorship exists
in the Armenian private mass media. But it is arguable; when the
president’s residence controls the private TV Companies and forbids
broadcasting any oppositionist without “sanction”, it is a complete
censorship.
But in general, the RCF’s remark is objective and very offensive for
our state and people. The Armenians should worry about being before
Eritrea. As the latter doesn’t have a theatre of 2000 years. If
seriously this situation is the exact reflection of our public
apathy. “A1+” was close by the President’s order 4,5 years ago.
People ask me everywhere when “A1+” will be opened and curse the
authorities. But when we say, people if you want “A1+” to be opened
come to the square and demand, 200-300 people will be gathered.
Cowardly and passive public has cowardly and passive Mass Media.
This doesn’t humble the sin of our authorities. The instinct of
self-protection makes them surprise when they aren’t praised. I have
always thought and think that revolution doesn’t threaten Armenia.
Consequently if the authorities are too criticized their posts will
stay unchangeable. How can the head of Nubarashen read articles about
his omission /if he knows reading/. He will punish the reporter for
that article. He will do it, as he knows he won’t be punished for it.
The RCF and other international organizations’ reports are made by
such facts.
Sometimes our authority officials call the politicians and journalists
to “think about the reputation of our country”. I want to return that
summon to the authorities, think about the reputation of our country
when you send skinheads to punish the journalists or fill ballots.

KARAPETYAN STILL HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CRASH
A1+
[07:05 pm] 25 October, 2006
The RA authorities try to consign to oblivion the May 3 crash of
airplane A-320, leader of New Times party Aram Karapetyan claims.
The leader of New Times party announced today that he is going to
ask a number of questions to RA Public Prosecutor Aghvan Hovsepyan in
order to find out which one of the versions of the crash circulating
in Armenia and Russia correspond to the reality.
Aram Karapetyan himself has his sources in the National Security
Service. According to his sources, the first telegram received by
the Armenian Aviation Service immediately after the crash was the
following, “It disappeared from the radar screen”. One question to
Aghvan Hovsepyan is: “Did they pay attention to the fact that this
expression is used when the plane explodes?”
The specialists with whom Mr. Karapetyan talked claimed that the
content of the telegram does not exclude the possibility of explosion.
The second question: Did the criminal grouping in the plane try to
force the pilots to make a landing in Sochi and not to return to
Yerevan? Was the pilot beaten up? Aghvan Hovsepyan also has to answer
if there was much money, gold and precious stones on board. He must
also answer why the plane did not return to Yerevan when the Sochi
dispatcher warned that it was impossible to land. Who forced the
pilot not to obey the warning of the dispatcher?
Aram Karapetyan also wonders if the workers of the airport security
service checked the luggage of the VIP passengers. In case they
did, were there weapons or explosives there? Are the protocols of
check-ups kept?
It is true that the International Aviation Committee took only six
of the necessary 40 parameters from the French?
These were the main questions which according to Aram Karapetyan
could pour light on the reasons of the May 3 air crash.
By the way, Mr. Karapetyan’s source in the National Security Service
also informed him that once in every three months a similar plane
takes a luggage of gold and drugs to Sochi. It also informed that
the Armenian A-320 plane which burnt in a hangar in Brussels a day
later contained the whole technical pack concerning the crashed plane.

SAIPANPRENEURS OF THE WEEK: VICTOR AND LINDA BALIAN
By Walt F.J. Goodridge
Saipan Tribune, Micronesia (Federated States of Micronesia in S. Pacific)
Oct 24 2006
The Saipanpreneur Project: Creating economic success for the CNMI
The only way to take control of your life, raise your standard of
living and move beyond merely surviving is to create your own unique
product or service that you offer to increasing numbers of people in
exchange for the things of value that you desire. This simple formula
applies to countries as well as people. A self-sufficient economy
has its own products or services of value to export to the world.
Similarly, a self-sufficient individual has something of value to
exchange in the global marketplace. That thing of value is based on
your natural talent, skill, or interest-in other words, your passion!
In last week’s column, I made the suggestion that Saipan (and of
course, the entire CNMI) could achieve a brand identity as a place
of health, healthy lifestyle and/or eating. As a result, I received
quite a few suggestions to meet and get to know a special couple who
already seem to be leading the movement to achieve just that.
Meet Victor and Linda Balian, owners of the Golden Lobster Restaurant,
located on the Chalan Lau Lau end of Middle road opposite the NMPASI
building, a few yards down from TicToc. Syrian-born Victor, and his
wife Linda, originally from Iraq, are now proud U.S. citizens who
took over the Golden Lobster in May of this year.
(They’ll be changing the name of the restaurant very soon to the
Magic Lamp to reflect its new Mediterranean menu.)
So, how and when did the two of you meet?
Victor: “My sister is good friends with Linda. She introduced us
back in 1986. I think we met in a hospital for about 10 seconds. But
she was married to the “other guy,” [Linda smiles] so we were just
acquaintances. We didn’t get to know each other better until after
Linda divorced. So I’d say we really met and started getting serious
in 1995.
How did you end up on Saipan?
Victor: It was business initially. In 1996, I was made a great job
offer by a major construction company. So we’ve been here for 10
years now.
You mentioned you’re Armenian, born in Syria. Would you explain
that please?
Victor: “Armenian is an ethnicity I’m very proud of. It’s just like
here someone might be of Chamorro or Carolinian blood, but born on
Saipan, I’m of Armenian blood, born in Syria.
Why a restaurant? Is that a mutual passion?
Victor: My wife is a very good cook. It’s her passion to cook.
Linda: A few months ago, we were sitting home. We had both lost our
jobs, and were deciding what we were going to do next. Should we leave
the island? Should we stay? We love Saipan, so we decided to stay.”
Now even though you serve a wide range of meals including chicken and
beef, yours is the first I’ve seen with such an extensive vegetarian
menu. Why is that?
Victor: My wife has been vegetarian for six years now. Since we’ve
been here on Saipan, it’s been a little difficult to find restaurants
that really understand what that means. I remember once we were in a
restaurant and ordered vegetable soup. When the soup came, we saw it
had shrimp in it. Linda is also allergic to seafood. So we told the
waitress that we ordered a vegetable soup and showed her the shrimp.
She took it back to the kitchen. A few seconds later, she came back,
put the soup on the table, and we noticed that the shrimp was still in
the soup. She said, “Chef says, ‘don’t worry, no charge for shrimp!'”
So what makes YOUR restaurant special?
Linda: What we serve in here is very unique. You cannot find it
anywhere on the island, and nowhere in the Pacific for that matter.
Nobody has what we have here. We’re representing Mediterranean food,
from our countries, so we go to special lengths to make our food
taste just right.
Victor: See those 50lb bags of there? That’s bulgur wheat. I import
it myself. It’s a regular part of people’s diet where I come from.
Linda: Bulgur wheat is very low in carbohydrates. No starch, so it’s
great for people who are diabetic. It comes in different sizes, so you
can use it for many types of dishes, including as a rice substitute.
Victor: We get exotic Mediterranean spices for our dishes, many that
you can’t find anywhere even in the states. And my wife mixes her
own spices.
Linda: There’s no MSG in our food either.
Victor: My wife makes a homemade chocolate yogurt that kids really
like; kids really like the chocolate, and there’s no sugar in it,
and it’s healthy. We also make homemade pickles.
Linda: And if there’s any cheese or butter in any of the dishes,
I make sure the saturated fat is less than 3 percent.
Speaking of saturated fat, you mentioned something very impressive
about that when we spoke earlier. Could you share that with our
readers?
Linda: Well, I brought my cholesterol level down myself without any
medication. It was 260; now it’s 190.just by eating pretty much what
we serve here.
Victor: My wife also has a diploma in Fitness and Nutrition, AND
she’s a Herbalife distributor, so if anyone needs it, she can put
them on a diet and help them make money at the same time! [Laughs]
Anything else?
Linda: Let’s see..Our pita bread is home-made. I mix my own baking
powder.
Victor: And we make our own ketchup! With low sugar!
Now Victor, you’re not vegetarian. How do manage at home?
Victor: Well it’s just like on our menu, there’s food for the
vegetarian and food for the meat eaters. We’re not out to change
anyone, but just want to give people different choices every now and
then that they might find tasty.
Linda: Being vegetarian is just my personal choice. We started
raising animals here on Saipan. And as I got closer to the animals,
I just couldn’t chew on them anymore! Everytime I think about it,
I hear our goat crying in my mind.
Victor: My wife asks me ‘how can you eat that? Don’t you remember
Bambi? Don’t you hear the goat crying?’ I say, ‘yes, I’m crying too,
but I’m hungry!’
And just in case people think a healthy diet isn’t just as delicious
as what they eat now, tell us some of the feedback you’ve gotten.
Victor: We had a group come in the other day, and when they had our
Shawarma [Mediterranean dish popular throughout Asia.], they said
they never tasted Shawarma like ours!
Most of our clients who are doctors from CHC and other places are
regular customers.
Linda: People taste our hummus, and say, ‘We never ate humus like
this.’ That makes me happy, because I give the dish as much as it
takes to be perfect. If I cut back on the lemon, or on the tahini,
it won’t taste the same.
[On their way out, two diners from NMC complimented Victor on the
food. Just then, another customer, Jack Stokes of the TSA, came in
and greeted us. I decided to find out for myself what people liked
about the Golden Lobster. I asked Mr. Stokes:] Why do you come here?
Jack: “I love the Shawarma! It’s different, tastier.. the lunch
specials are reasonable, I like the atmosphere, and the customer
service is fantastic.”
And I understand you do all the cooking yourself, Linda? Wow, talk
about passion!
Linda: I’ll give the food as much as it takes. There is a big
difference in the food whether you spend 10 minutes or two hours
preparing like I do. There’s a difference whether you use canned
vegetables or fresh like we do, soy sauce or real spices like we do.
I only use virgin olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in our salads. If
it is expensive, it doesn’t matter. The quality of the food is what
comes first in my list. This is how I am. If it takes expensive,
exotic spices, that’s what I use. What I’m sharing is a traditional
and cultural way to cook. I cannot just make shortcuts.
[During the interview, Linda got up a few times to go the kitchen.] I
notice how involved you are in the cooking. Are you training anyone
to take over for you?
Linda: In my country, we say, “It’s the hand.” The unique way the
food tastes is in the cook’s “hands”; it’s the spirit of the cook
that you taste. It’s a talent, passed from one person to another. I
got it from my mother, and she got it from her mother. When I cook,
I don’t even have measurements, my measuring cup is my hand. And I
don’t even taste the food. I know how it tastes just from the smell.
So I cannot train someone. I’m not trying to be selfish, but it’s
just that the quality of the food will suffer, because they have
different hands.
[While I was there, a couple walked in, sat down, looked at the menu,
but left shortly afterwards. I asked Victor about it.] Why did that
couple leave?
Victor: She [Angel, the waitress on duty] told me they wanted a certain
pork dish. We don’t serve pork. Not because of religious reasons,
but because it’s not healthy. That’s been proven.
Linda: I come from a different corner. I cannot change my quality
or serve certain dishes just to get more customers. I can prepare
a dish of humus much cheaper but I would rather close. These are my
principles in the kitchen, and I cannot change it.
Follow your passion and stick to your principles. That seems like
great advice for everyone. Victor, any advice for other entrepreneurs?
Victor: Pay attention to every detail in your business. You may need
to alter your expenditures in hard times, but be patient for better
times to come!
Experience Linda’s Mediterranean cooking passion every day from 8am
to 2pm, and from 6pm to 10pm. (Lunch specials start at 11am). Contact

PUNISHING THE DENIAL OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: BRUSSELS CRITICISES THE FRENCH VOTE
By Anne-Marie Mouradian in Brussels
Translated by Geraldine Ring
Caucaz.com, Georgia
Oct 24 2006
Approved by France’s lower house of parliament, the National Assembly,
on October 12, the bill would make it a crime for French citizens to
deny that the Armenian genocide occurred. Such a decision is being
made in a country home to 500,000 descendants of survivors of the
Armenian massacres and where earlier this year Turkish organisations
held demonstrations denying the genocide. The law, which foresees
the same penalties as those instituted in 1990 by the Gayssot Law on
the denial of the holocaust, still has to go to the upper house, the
Senate, for another vote. If the law comes into force, it will appear
as an ultimatum and “have serious consequences for relations between
the European Union and Turkey”, said Olli Rehn, EU Commissioner for
Enlargement, who is leading membership negotiations with Ankara.
The Commissioner is convinced that the law would have a negative impact
and an “effect contrary to the objective sought.” “We have always
told Turkey that it must reconcile with Armenia on issues related to
the past, as well as current difficulties such as the reopening of
the border. This law would prohibit debate efforts and the necessary
dialogue,” said Krisztina Nagy, spokesperson for Commissioner Rehn. She
added that, “Certainly, progress on the subject is still minimal, but
a conference held last year by historians and Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s call to set up a commission of historians to
shed light on these events are encouraging signs.”
Brussels, which is also critical of the Turkish deadlock on the
issue of Cyprus and the slowness of reforms, does not want to get too
involved with an issue that is not part of the membership criteria
defined in Copenhagen in 1993. The European Commission has always
avoided clashing head on with Ankara on this hypersensitive issue and
explains that it is not its role to make statements on the nature of
the “painful events” of 1915.
The European Parliament, on the other hand, clearly requested Turkey
to recognise the Armenian genocide in 1987. Without making it a
precondition, it reaffirmed on September 27 that it is “crucial that
a country on the road to membership confront and recognise its past.”
However, some Euro-MPs have criticised the National Assembly’s vote.
The president of the European Parliament’s EU-South Caucasus
delegation, France’s Marie-Anne Isler Beguin (Green Party), believes
that such a law “would fuel the arguments of those against Turkey’s
entry to the EU” and would also be “paradoxically counterproductive
for Armenians in Armenia.”
“It is not at all a question of denying a genocide that the French
state has officially recognised since 2001, and even less a question
of imagining the EU integration of a Turkey which itself has not
recognised this genocide. The recognition of a historical reality
should not lead to the criminalization of matter which calls this
reality into question, not the least because this would touch upon
one of our democracies’ most fundamental rights, the freedom of
expression,” said Mme Isler Beguin.
Does that mean the Gayssot Law which applies to the denial of the Shoah
should be abolished? Or is there “genocide and genocide”? In Belgium,
where talks of a similar law seem to have come to a standstill and
where those who deny the Armenian genocide hold seats in community
councils, the Coordinating Committee of Belgian Jewish Organizations
(CCOJB) and the Secular Jewish Community Centre are asking for the
crime of denying the Shoah to be extended to the Armenian and Tutsi
genocides. A similar wish has been expressed by the Belgian Movement
Against Racism, Anti-Semitism and Xenophobia, presided over by Radouane
Bouhlal, who applauded the French National Assembly’s vote.
