Turkish Journalists’ Association To Commemorate Dink

TURKISH JOURNALISTS’ ASSOCIATION TO COMMEMORATE DINK

January 15, 2014 – 18:26 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Turkish Journalists’ Association will commemorate
the slain editor-in-chief of Agos weekly during a conference on Jan 20.

Dink was murdered on Jan 19, 2007 in Istanbul. He had received numerous
death threats from Turkish nationalists who viewed his journalism,
particularly on the Armenian Genocide, as treacherous.

Dink was shot twice in the head and once in the neck by a 17-year-old
Turkish nationalist, Ogun Samast, outside the offices of the newspaper
he founded in 1996.

BAKU: Turkish PM: Everyone Should Be Ready To Convey Realities Of 19

TURKISH PM: EVERYONE SHOULD BE READY TO CONVEY REALITIES OF 1915 TO WORLD

Jan 15 2014

Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 15

By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:

Everyone should be ready to convey the realities of 1915 to the world,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Jan. 15.

He made the remarks speaking at the Turkish ambassadors’ conference
held in Ankara.

The PM said it is necessary to look at history in order to understand
all that happens today.

“Forgetting the history is a crime,” he said,

Armenia marks April 24 as a day to remember the falsified “genocide”.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that Turkey’s predecessor
the Ottoman Empire committed genocide in 1915 against the Armenians
living in Anatolia. The parliaments of some countries have recognized
the falsified Armenian “genocide” under pressure from the Armenian
propaganda.

Training Heats Up For Armenian Troops

TRAINING HEATS UP FOR ARMENIAN TROOPS

Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System
Jan 15 2014

Story by Sgt. Samantha Parks

CAMP SLIM LINES, Kosovo – With their transfer of authority completed,
the Armenian coy hit the ground running and turned up the heat with
crowd and riot control training.

Armenian soldiers with Multinational Battle Group-East participated
in fire phobia training at Camp Slim Lines Jan. 4. For most soldiers,
it was the first time they had experienced the training with Molotov
cocktails.

“It’s [my] first time and it’s very interesting,” said Armenian Jr.

Sgt. Seerek Hrhalutyunyan. “I’ve seen [fire phobia training] before,
but never [participated.]”

This Armenian rotation had only been in Kosovo for less than a month.

“This is the second big training [event], the first one was the
CRC training with [notional rioters],” said Armenian Capt. Slavik
Avtisyan. “This training is very important for the CRC because nobody
knows what we are going to face when we see the crowd.”

Fire phobia training consisted of crawl, walk and run phases. Each
phase began with a demonstration by Portuguese soldiers and then
built on the previous phase’s instruction.

Soldiers began by practicing as individuals with water bottles. The
training progressed to using Molotov cocktails and responding to them
as squad and platoon size elements.

“We should do [the training] as much as we can because we should be
ready at all times when we are here,” Avtisyan said. “We don’t know
when they will need a quick reaction force and we should be ready.”

Avtisyan explained it is important to conduct the platoon size
element training because that is the size that would respond during
a CRC event.

“We should do platoon training to understand each other and to know
what we should do in each situation,” Avtisyan said.

Avtisyan said the training was a little difficult for some of his
soldiers because of the language barrier.

“It is a little bit difficult for my soldiers because most of them
don’t speak English, but a couple guys understood English so they
[translated],” Avtisyan said. “The most important [part] is that my
soldiers have fun.”

council directed to the Armenian Genocide recognition are bright
examples of adherence to universal values and political courage for
the sake of genocide prevention and international process of denial
condemnation.

Yerevan Deprives Iran Of Alternative

YEREVAN DEPRIVES IRAN OF ALTERNATIVE

Reuters informed that EU Commissioner Catherine Ashton is going to
visit Iran. Earlier the president of Iran was reported to participate
in Davos. Earlier an agreement on the nuclear program between Iran
and the western states was reported which will become effective as
soon as some of the sanctions on Iran are lifted.

Armenia’s neighbor Iran is recovering from international isolation
in terms of foreign affairs and domestic reforms.

In the meantime, the opposite is taking place in Iran’s neighboring
country Armenia. Armenia is joining the Customs Union which implies
international isolation. In Armenia reaction is intensifying, instead
of innovation the old domestic dispute comes up, and efforts are made
to enclose the so-called political life within the ruling system,
which is a peculiar expression of isolation of the public factor.

It is hard to tell whether this policy has a potential for success. A
lot of issues and approaches, perceptions of the political process
and its main participant parties, the requirements to the political
subjects are being revised within the society. However, it is taking
place within a narrow circle. And the circle is in isolation – it is
rather weak or the link with public at large is missing.

As Iran is departing from isolation, Armenia is moving towards total
isolation with components of intended or unintended subisolation. In
other words, a polarization of life is underway between Armenia and
Iran, which is dangerous for both Armenia and the region.

Iran’s activity at the end of the past year which was expressed
in several unexpected and scandalous announcements of the Iranian
ambassador was a warning about polarization. Armenia is depriving of
an alternative not only itself but Iran and the region. Of course, the
policy of Armenia is dictated by Moscow, Yerevan is an administrator,
which is the price of preservation of the ruling system in Armenia
but the responsibility of Armenia does not thus shrink.

If self-isolation is dictated by Russia, Yerevan becomes a hindrance
to new regional processes, a stone or a ditch. Such functioning is
not forgiven in geopolitical processes.

Healthcare Concerns In The Ranks: Two Conscripts Hospitalized In Sep

HEALTHCARE CONCERNS IN THE RANKS: TWO CONSCRIPTS HOSPITALIZED IN SEPARATE CASES, ONE DIES

HUMAN RIGHTS | 15.01.14 | 16:19

NAZIK ARMENAKYAN
ArmeniaNow

By Gohar Abrahamyan
ArmeniaNow reporter

A soldier has died as a result of a disease last week, and another
conscript has been hospitalized in critical condition, with the
incidents having created another occasion to raise concern about
issues in the army in Armenia.

Wednesday, Nagorno Karabakh’s Defense Army press service informed that
at early hours of January 15, conscript Hayk Makaryan, 20, died of
a disease (not specified) at one of northern military units. Details
are being investigated.

On January 13 another conscript, 18-year-old Mher Khlghatyan was
transferred to the Central Clinical Military Hospital in Yerevan from
the Vardenis military unit, Armenia.

Khlghatyan’s family told the press that they had sent a healthy son to
the army and now have received a physically abused son with numerous
traces of cigarette burns on his body and acute pneumonia. They claim
officers have used force against Khlghatyan.

ArmeniaNow inquiry from Yerevan’s Central Clinical Military Hospital
has shown that the young man is in the intensive care unit and that
for a few days his commander has visited him; they refused to reveal
any other details.

The Defense Ministry’s (DM) investigative body has filed a criminal
case with charges of an official’s careless approach to his service,
whose negligence has yielded grave results and violence against a
subordinate related to the fulfillment of military service duties.

Chief Military Officer of the DM investigative body’s press service
Meri Sargsyan told ArmeniaNow that the forensic examination and the
preliminary investigation are ongoing, adding they would provide
additional information by the end of the day should suspects be taken
under arrest.

On Tuesday, Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan paid a visit to the
Vardenis unit as part of his field trip. He looked into the case
details, gave instructions to hold an administrative investigation
and said he would take the situation under his personal supervision.

Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor office leader Artur Sakunts says
this is a consequence of incompetent medical assistance, adding that
their research has shown a growing tendency of lethal outcomes in
the army as a result of poor medical assistance.

According to the Assembly’s research four out of the 31 deaths in
the army were caused by lack of proper medical assistance.

Sakunts says despite DM representatives’ claims that there are no
recruitment issues in the army, that issue does exist and it is done
at any cost, including conscription of young men with health problems.

“The country is facing a situation when military issues are being
solved at any cost even at the expense of using any available resource,
which becomes problematic, because the sphere of defense is unable
to solve all the issues alone. It is conditioned by the authorities’
policy which hits right back at the very vulnerable defense sphere,”
says Sakunts.

Armenian Politician Predicts Heated Winter Tensions

ARMENIAN POLITICIAN PREDICTS HEATED WINTER TENSIONS

16:25 ~U 15.01.14

The cold January of 2014 may see heated developments in the form
of civil disobedience campaigns, according to Andrias Ghukasyan,
a former presidential candidate.

Speaking to Tert.am, the politician said that the higher cost of
living, imposed upon the population through increased electricity
and natural gas prices, may stir up a wide social unrest leading to
serious exacerbations.

“This is a serious social situation, which may have political
implications. Inert though our society is, its ability to tolerate
this economic burden is not inexhaustible. So there is the point where,
I am sure, they will demonstrate their activeness,” he noted.

ANC Belgium meets the Swiss Ambassador in Brussels

January 15, 2014, Brussels: Today, a delegation of the Armenian
National Committee of Belgium (ANC Belgium) paid a visit to the
Ambassador of Switzerland to Belgium, His Excellency Benedict de
Cerjat in the presence of attaché Mrs. Ursina Eggenschwiler. The
delegation asked the Ambassador to submit a request of the ANC Belgium
to his government in Switzerland to appeal against the ruling of the
European Court for Human Rights on the Perincek vs. Switzerland case
as of December 17, 2013.

The Armenian National Committee presented to Ambassador de Cerjat the
main points and arguments of Perincek vs. Switzerland case on the
grounds of which the verdict of the Federal Court of Switzerland was
appealed against. The Ambassador was informed about the general
circumstances of the case, the position of the Armenian people as well
as on the necessity for this ruling to be appealed against. It was
also mentioned that Perincek went on purpose to Switzerland, to effect
his declarations, calling the Armenian Genocide an `international
lie’, to challenge Switzerland’s respective law.

Such a ruling, being the first legal court decision classifying the
denial of Armenian Genocide to the right of freedom of expression, on
the eve of 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide paves the way,
mainly through contradictions and groundless announcements, towards
not only anti-Armenian rhetorics, but empowers Turkish extremist
movements in Europe and elsewhere, hampering the calls for justice and
the basic principles for reconciliation.

The Armenian National Committee has expressed its readiness to support
Switzerland by any means to the process of appealing. Switzerland
should appeal against the abovementioned ruling based on its
fundamental principles of democracy and justice in order to have the
opportunity that such a disorienting decision adopted against the
Armenian people to be corrected. Switzerland should protect its
legislation from anyone’s objectives to provoke hatred and racism.

At the end of the meeting the delegation of the ANC Belgium assured
the Ambassador that he will be kept informed on the developments of
the issue, expecting that Switzerland will appeal against the
abovementioned ruling.

The Housing Conundrum: Syrian Armenians In Armenia

THE HOUSING CONUNDRUM: SYRIAN ARMENIANS IN ARMENIA

By Sarkis Balkhian // January 14, 2014 in Featured, Headline, Special Reports

Special for the Armenian Weekly

“My father passed away a few years before the beginning of the
conflict. My mother works as a cook for 12 hours a day, while my
14-year-old brother attends school,” says Daron, 16, a Syrian-Armenian
waiter in Yerevan. “I can’t go to school because I have to support
my family.”

‘New Aleppo’ district plan

The 34 months of the Syrian crisis has resulted in 120,000 deaths, 7
million internally displaced persons (IDP), and 2.3 million refugees.1
Although the situation of the refugees across the Middle East, or
even in certain European states like Bulgaria,2 is drastically worse
than the circumstance of the Syrian Armenians in Armenia, nonetheless
those who have resettled in Armenia are also facing numerous economic,
social, and legal challenges.

According to the Republic of Armenia’s Ministry of Diaspora, more
than 16,000 Syrian Armenians have entered the country since the
beginning of the crisis in March 2011, and more systematically with
the beginning of the armed conflict in Aleppo in July 2012.

Nearly 11,000 continue to reside in Armenia (including in the Nagorno
Karabagh Republic). The vast majority of the 5,000 who left Armenia
have returned back to their homes in Syria,3 while a small number of
people have become refugees in Europe and other parts of the world.4
Due to financial constraints, more than 70 percent of the population
has not been able to purchase apartments. This housing situation has
been the primary obstacle to the integration of Syrian-Armenians
in Armenia. Whereas for the past 17 months, numerous local and
international organizations have provided stipends for rent or
housing in shelter homes, an inclusionary housing solution has yet
to be developed.

Housing programs and projects

In the early stages of the Syrian-Armenian migration to Armenia, the
Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) provided monthly stipends
of $100-150 to support individuals and families with their rental
fees for a period of 3 months.5

The Armenian Caritas (Armenian Catholic Church) in Yerevan has
sheltered more than 45 of the most needy at its center, and
has provided them with food and other forms of assistance.6 Most
recently, on Nov. 27, 2013, the head of its Department for Migration
and Integration announced that the organization would be allocating a
significant portion of the 270,000 euros received from the Austrian
government, via the Austrian Red Cross, toward the leasing expenses
of 100 families for the next 6 months.7

The Armenian Revolutionary Federation’s (ARF) “Help Your Brother”
program has provided more than $32,000 to the “Kashatagh” foundation,
to aid the construction and renovation of homes in the Kashatagh region
of Karabagh, where more than 35 Syrian Armenians currently reside.8
The Tufenkian Foundation, the Assistance to Self-Determined Artsakh
Charitable Foundation, and other organizations are also supporting
resettlement efforts in Karabagh.9

In Yerevan, “Help Your Brother” is planning the construction
of apartment buildings in the Davtashen district. Two-hundred
Syrian-Armenian families will be able to purchase apartments there
at minimal cost by submitting applications at the “Help Your Brother”
headquarters in Yerevan.10

Through the relentless efforts of the Minister of Diaspora, Hranush
Hakobyan, and the order of President Serge Sarkisian, the government
approved the construction of the “New Aleppo” district in Ashtarak
city. On July 23, 2013, the Ashtarak City Council allocated more than
11 acres of land to the Center for Coordination of Syrian-Armenian
Issues NGO for the “New Aleppo” housing project.11

As of December 2013, more than 300 Syrian-Armenian families had
submitted registration forms to the Center for Coordination of
Syrian-Armenian Issues, and have expressed a willingness to pay up
to 50 percent of the construction cost for the apartments.12

On Dec. 9, 2013, the final plan for the “New Aleppo” district was
presented by Vahe and Gohar Tutunjians, the co-presidents of the
Pan-Armenian Association of Architects and Engineers. According
to the initial estimates, the project will cost around $30 million
and will feature 22-30 apartment buildings, swimming pools, garages,
playgrounds and other amenities. Most importantly, it will house more
than 500 Syrian-Armenian families.13

Analysis and conclusion

“We came to Armenia with only a few thousand dollars, which has long
run out,” explained Daron. “My mother makes $300 per month. I make
around $400-500 while working up to 70 hours every week. The most
we can save up each month is around $150 because we have to pay $200
for rent.” Daron is neither the norm, nor the exception.

Having worked with the Center for Coordination of Syrian-Armenian
Issues for almost a year, and due to my current involvement with
the Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Organization, I estimate that at
least 15-20 percent of the Syrian Armenians in Armenia do not have
sufficient funds to purchase apartments.

According to the most recent data, more than 250 individuals are
awaiting access to free-of-charge shelter homes in Armenia, while 200
are currently being housed in shelters that do not comply with the
“Adequate Standards of Living” set fort by Article 25 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Article 11 of the International
Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR).

I have been an advocate (albeit, with some reservations) for the
construction of an Aleppo neighborhood in Armenia since the beginning
of the process. However, in its current form, the “New Aleppo”
district does not represent the spirit or vision of its mastermind.

In May 2011, Ani Balkhian, a founding member of the Center for
Coordination of Syrian-Armenian Issues and the current president
of the Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Organization, introduced the
initial plan for “New Aleppo” during the All-Armenia Fund meeting in
Yerevan. She made a verbal proposal then to President Sarkisian. In
August 2011, via the Armenian Consulate in Aleppo, she sent a formal
written request to the president requesting government-designated
land for the construction of an Aleppo Neighborhood.

The initial plan for the project was to induce a Syrian-Armenian
mass-migration to Armenia by allocating apartments at construction
cost. However, for reasons yet unknown, the plan never materialized.

After the establishment of the Center for Coordination of
Syrian-Armenian Issues, Balkhian reintroduced the idea and, in October
2012, through the Ministry of Diaspora, a second written proposal
was sent to the president.

More than two years after the initial proposal, the final plan for
“New Aleppo” has been developed and will, as hitherto mentioned,
feature 22-30 apartment buildings. On Dec. 7, 2013, the Center
for Coordination of Syrian-Armenian Issues, on its Facebook page,
announced that “individuals seeking apartments in the ‘New Aleppo’
district need to submit their applications at the organization’s
headquarter…transfer $5,000 to the organization’s bank account and
sign a preliminary agreement document.”14

There are certain social and financial flaws with the current state
of the “New Aleppo” district. In fact, my initial concerns over this
project have been validated on both fronts.

Contrary to the Armenian Diaspora in Russia, Europe, the United
States, and even Lebanon, Armenians have lived a marginalized life in
Syria. Due to religious and cultural reservations, as well as valid
fears of assimilation, Armenians had isolated themselves from the world
around them. The churches, sports clubs, cultural institutions, and
schools were used as a fortress to defend Armenian-Christian identity
in Syria. In Aleppo, especially, most Syria-Armenian children who
attended Armenian schools were not even accustomed to speaking Arabic
until the ages of 12-15.

Today, most Syrian Armenians in Armenia have continued the same
secluding and ghettoizing strategies of self-isolation. This is not due
to their fears of the local Armenian population, but because they are
subconsciously programmed to operate this way. Even the amenities to be
included within the “New Aleppo” project–swimming pools, playgrounds,
etc.–will further contribute to the isolation of Syrian-Armenians
from the local society, and slow down their integration process.

On the financial front, in August 2011, most Syrian Armenians were
able to purchase apartments in the “New Aleppo” district by procuring
funds through the sale of real estate or other assets in Syria. Now,
however, at least 15-20 percent do not have access to $5,000 to use
as a down payment, nor are they capable of contributing 30-50 percent
of the construction cost.

I, for one, do not understand the logic behind investing funds for
amenities–that were non-existent in the neighborhoods of “Old Aleppo”
(Meedan, Sulamaniye, Villat, Azizie)–while so many remain excluded
from this initiative.

It is my belief that any housing project that seeks to provide
durable shelter solutions for Syrian Armenians should be founded on
the principle of inclusion rather than exclusion. It should first and
foremost address the needs of the most vulnerable Syrian Armenians,
rather than solidifying the bourgeois status of the middle class.

Although I welcome any housing initiative that ensures the
complete resettlement of Syrian Armenians and contributes to their
full integration in Armenia, the current plan of “New Aleppo,”
unfortunately, does not address the needs of the most vulnerable of
the population. It is simply unacceptable.

Finally, as a Syrian Armenian myself, I would like to express my
gratitude to the president, the Ministry of Diaspora, the Armenian
government, and local and international organizations, businesses,
and foundations for their support in both Armenia and Syria. The
criticisms presented in this piece are not intended to discourage any
organization or to undermine any program or project. Rather, they aim
to represent the voice of the voiceless and the face of the faceless,
like Daron, and encourage organizations to operate based on the visions
of the late Nelson Mandela: “Let there be justice for all. Let there
be peace for all. Let there be work, bread, water and salt for all.”
