Le 14 août, le Parti pour la justice et le developpement (AKP),
qui est au pouvoir depuis 2002, a celebre le 10e anniversaire de la
creation du parti. À cette occasion, l’hebdomadaire armeno-turc Agos
a demande aux intellectuels armeniens d’Ýstanbul ce qu’ils pensaient
du parti et de ce qu’il a accompli. J’ai trouve les reponses de ces
intellectuels très interessantes et je vais vous les resumer.

Ces interviews assez courtes, bien sûr, ne peuvent pas refleter toutes
les idees de la communaute armenienne ; cependant après les avoir lues,
et en me basant sur mes observations portant sur d’autres intellectuels
de la communaute armenienne et d’autres groupes minoritaires, je peux
faire quelques generalisations. Les minorites de Turquie considèrent
que la periode de gouvernement de l’AKP est une amelioration pour
la democratie et pour la situation des minorites de Turquie en
general. Cependant, ils pensent que les ameliorations de la situation
des minorites sont limitees a certains secteurs et ne reflètent pas
les reformes gravees dans la pierre. Les minorites sont generalement
satisfaites du procès d’Ergenekon, mais sont decues de l’evolution
du procès de Hrant Dink, qui, estiment-ils, n’a fait qu’effleure la
surface, les vrais criminels restant impunis. Comme vous le savez,
ces observations reflètent plus ou moins aussi ma comprehension des
developpements en Turquie.

as well.

Mediamax notes that in December 2010, for the first time the Armenian
Defense Ministry officially announced that is it had S-300 missiles.

This news was disseminated by AP. The report read that announcement
was made to remind neighboring Azerbaijan about the dangers of renewing
military conflict. Associated Press quoted Armenian Defense Ministry’s
Spokesman David Karapetyan who stated that the missiles would “coerce
Azerbaijan into keeping the peace”.

The report noted that it was known that Russia had long maintained
S-300s on its base in Armenia, but the Armenian Defense Ministry’s
statement was the first acknowledgment that Armenia had S-300 missiles
of its own.

YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan visited one of
the frontier military units formed during Karabakh war on Tuesday.

The minister stressed the soldiers and officers serving in the military
units should feel pride, as it was formed due to voluntary corps,
protecting north-eastern borders of the motherland.

“These military units passed a path of glory, many officers and
soldiers displayed high morale. After the military unit was formed,
it became a model not only in military terms, but also in terms
of social and domestic affairs. The military service on the border
ensures Armenian people’s security. Over the past few years the enemy
has committed acts of sabotage and intelligence activities, but the
Armenian forces gave a retaliatory fire and ensured the safety of
the people on border points,” Ohanyan underlined.

According to him, significant engineering work has been done recently,
new roads and observation stations were constructed. Ohanyan stressed
Armenian celebrates the 20th anniversary of independence this year.

Moreover, it will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the formation
of the Armenian army next year. He considered formation of Armenian
regular army with joint efforts as the greatest achievement.

“However, the main thing is personal relationship between officers and
soldiers. The officers’ personal example is a guarantee to patriotism
and fighting spirit,” Ohanyan emphasized, adding reforms are being
implemented in the Armenian army and measures are taken to improve
discipline.

The minister stressed the Armenian armed forces perform two important
tasks. First, they develop national security guarantees in the form
of the army’s combat readiness and qualitative superiority over the
enemy. Secondly, they develop international security guarantees.

“Armenia is trying to contribute to international security. Armenian
peacekeepers carry out a mission in Kosovo and Afghanistan and took
part in the mission in Iraq,” Ohanyan concluded.
