Schiff Opens Hollywood Satellite Office

SCHIFF OPENS HOLLYWOOD SATELLITE OFFICE

Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

Rep, Adam Schiff

Will Be Open Tuesdays From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and By Appointment

HOLLYWOOD-Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) announced Wednesday that he
has opened a new satellite office in Hollywood, after relocating his
primary district office from Pasadena to Burbank. This office will
better allow Schiff and his district staff to meet with constituents
in the southern and western portion of his district to discuss pending
legislation and assist with federal casework issues such as Medicare,
Social Security, the Veterans Administration and Immigration.

“In order to better serve constituents located in the southern and
western part of the 28th Congressional District, we opened a satellite
office in Hollywood,” said Schiff. “My staff have always provided the
best service to constituents possible, and this move makes it easy for
constituents to come in for help with federal agencies, for meetings
with caseworkers, and to share their thoughts and concerns with me.”

Schiff’s Hollywood satellite office will be open every Tuesday from
2 p.m. until 5 p.m., and by appointment. The new office is located
at 5500 Hollywood Blvd, Suite #416 in Hollywood (at the corner of
Hollywood Blvd., and Western Ave., across from the Western Ave. Red
Line Station). Congressman Schiff’s district office can be reached by
calling (818) 450-2900 or (323) 315-5555, or by fax at (818) 450-2928.

As mandated by the Constitution, California underwent a decennial
redistricting period last year based on the 2010 Census, and
as a result, the federal district boundaries have shifted and
representation for local areas has changed. California chose to draw
its new congressional district lines through a Citizens Commission,
and Schiff was sworn in earlier to serve as the Representative for
California’s 28th Congressional District including all or parts of
Atwater Village, Burbank, East Hollywood, Echo Park, Elysian Valley,
Glendale, Griffith Park, Hollywood, Hollywood Hills, La Cañada
Flintridge, La Crescenta, Los Feliz, Montrose, Pasadena, Shadow Hills,
Silver Lake, Sunland, Tujunga and West Hollywood.

Oskanian Proposes 3 Steps For Progress

OSKANIAN PROPOSES 3 STEPS FOR PROGRESS

17:36 ~U 11.04.13

Ex-Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, who is now a parliament member
of the Prosperous Armenia party, has proposed three steps for ensuring
progress in the country following the presidential inauguration event.

A top candidate on the party’s proportional representation list
in the Yerevan municipality elections, the politician has pointed
out two basic factors which he says have pushed him to make his
approaches public.

The first, he says, was the president’s remark expressing gratitude
“to those who cast their votes in favor of another candidate.”

In his inaugural address, Serzh Sargsyan described his opposing
electorate’s choice as a message to the authorities, expressing
discontent. “The phrase gives rise to a natural question as to
what actions the president is going to take to satisfy the people’s
demands,” the ex-minister says in a Facebook post.

As for the second factor, Oskanian points out to the 600,000 votes
cast against the incumbent, saying that the number coincided with the
Gallup survey which revealed that 40% of Armenians seek to emigrate
from the country. Oskanian notes that the rate is the highest in the
post-Soviet area. “That adds to the protest of the around 600,000
citizens, calling upon the authorities for more urgent actions to
reform the human resources and content-based policies within the
shortest timeframes in order to attain more tangible results,” he says.

Oskanian further proposes his approaches, focusing mainly on domestic
policy issues.

As a first step, the politician calls for refraining from what he
calls fake and initative conduct. “These two are the main reasons
behind the political situation and the lukewarm atmosphere. It is
done by both the authorities and other political forces,” he says,
adding that the society no longer believes in what he describes as
fake Facebook posts and surveys, and misrepresentation of the real
situation in the country.

Secondly, Oskanian calls for urgent measures to heal the political
atmosphere and to that effect he proposes the governing circles to be
more tolerant to the opposing political forces. [It is necessary] to
after all admit that the political monopoly has never been an effective
governance tool, so ensuring a progress in the county and solving the
problems facing the people is possible only through competitiveness,
counterbalances and shared responsibility,” he continues.

As for the third step, Oskanian proposes taking a leading role in
developing the agenda proposed by the ruling political. “The process of
shaping the agenda and the results will bring about essential changes,
giving the society trust and hope in the country’s future,” he says.

Armenia And Czech Republic’s Views Coincide By 95 Percent – Karel Sc

ARMENIA AND CZECH REPUBLIC’S VIEWS COINCIDE BY 95 PERCENT – KAREL SCHWARZENBERG

April 11, 2013 | 13:04

YEREVAN.- There are no political problems in Armenian-Czech relations,
and the views of the two countries coincide by 95 percent, Czech FM
said in Yerevan.

The lack of political problems underscores the importance of
developing economic relationship, Karel Schwarzenberg said during a
press conference on Thursday.

“Relations in the field of economy are not sufficiently developed. We
must use the existing potential,” he said. In this context, Minister
noted attractive geographical location of Armenia which opens up
opportunities for cooperation in many areas.

In his turn, the acting Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
said that in five years since the last visit of his Czech counterpart
to Yerevan, over a dozen meetings in Prague and within the framework
of international agencies was held.

Speaking about Armenian-Czech business forum held within the framework
of Schwarzenberg’s visit, head of the Armenian foreign office said
he was pleased that the Minister is accompanied by a delegation
of businessmen.

“Business forum will provide a good opportunity to establish direct
contacts. There is significant potential for the development of
economic relations,” he said.

Edward Nalbandian noted the number of bilateral documents have exceeded
two dozen. The countries also exchanged diplomatic missions.

“During the meeting we discussed regional and international issues. I
informed my counterpart about the current stage of the negotiation
process on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,” Nalbandian said.

Negotiations will continue during a working lunch.

Me Krikorian Repond A Une Depeche Turque Sur Le Projet Antinegationn

ME KRIKORIAN REPOND A UNE DEPECHE TURQUE SUR LE PROJET ANTINEGATIONNISTE PRETE A HOLLANDE

Innaceptable. ” Mais, dans les sciences juridiques plus que dans
les autres, seule la discussion est feconde, parce que, seule, elle
permet de faire sortir de la loi ou de la sentence, les contraires
dont elles ne sont que le provisoire repos. ”

Doyen Jean CARBONNIER, ” Le silence et la gloire ” ( Dalloz 1951,
chr. XXVIII )

Je prends connaissance a l’instance de l’article publie, ce jour,
sur le site Armenews par Monsieur Jean ECKIAN ( traduction de Monsieur
Gilbert BEGUIAN ).

Si les informations communiquees par Turkish Hurriyet sont exactes,
on y apprend que le President Francois HOLLANDE aurait trouve,
concernant le projet de loi contre le negationnisme annonce dès
le mois de Novembre 2012, devant le President Serge SARKISSIAN,
” une formulation de compromis adaptant la legislation de l’Union
europeenne a celle de la France “.

Toutefois, ” L’expression ‘Genocide armenien’ ne figurera pas dans
le texte de la loi francaise, mais sa negation sera consideree comme
un crime. Le nouveau projet de loi sera base sur la decision-cadre
adoptee par l’UE le 28 novembre 2008, declarant punissable sur le
territoire de l’UE la negation de crimes contre l’humanite. La loi
sera formulee de la facon suivante : ‘Toute personne qui niera un
genocide, repandra la haine, poussera a la vengeance, offensera
la religion, l’appartenance ethnique, la nationalite, encourra une
peine d’emprisonnement de 1 a 3 ans.’ Exprimer un point de vue sur
le genocide ou faire etat de travaux scientifiques ne sera pas puni
mais quiconque tient un discours injurieux sera puni. ”

On y indique, encore, que ” Le nouveau projet sera finalise et mis
sur l’agenda du Parlement a l’automne. ”

Ces nouvelles – pour autant qu’elles soient confirmees – appellent,
de ma part, les observations suivantes

On peut, en premier lieu, noter avec satisfaction que le Chef de
l’executif a, enfin, pris acte de la necessite de transposer la
decision-cadre 2008/913/JAI du 28 Novembre 2008 sur la lutte contre
certaines formes et manifestations de racisme et de xenophobie au
moyen du droit penal, qui a valeur supra-legislative.

Cependant, ce texte de droit derive necessite des corrections et
ne peut pas etre adequatement transpose en l’etat, compte tenu
de la declaration de la France du 28 Novembre 2008, annexee a la
decision-cadre, en vertu du paragraphe 4 de son article 1er qui,
illicitement, reserve la protection de la loi penale aux seuls faits
etablis par une decision definitive d’une juridiction internationale.

C’est pour cette raison, comme je l’avais demande le 20 Janvier
2012 au President SARKOZY, que j’ai rappele, le 19 Novembre 2012 (
lettres publiees sur mon site internet ) au President HOLLANDE que
le retrait de la declaration du 28 Novembre 2008 conditionnait la
bonne transposition de la decision-cadre.

Cette demande de retrait de la declaration du 28 Novembre 2008 est,
dans le meme esprit, inscrite dans l’assignation en refere pour voie
de fait que j’ai fait delivrer le 20 Fevrier 2013, au nom et pour le
compte de mes quinze mandants, au Premier ministre ( audience speciale
du 30 Avril 2013 a 10h00 ).

En effet, s’il devait etre presente tel quel devant le Parlement et,
ensuite, definitivement vote, le projet de loi ne manquerait pas
d’etre defere au Conseil constitutionnel qui pourrait :

le censurer pour transposition manifestement infidèle de la
decision-cadre qui, au-dela des genocides, vise egalement les crimes
contre l’humanite et les crimes de guerre non mentionnes par le
projet ;

ou, a tout le moins, au moyen d’une reserve d’interpretation,
preciserait que, conformement a la declaration de la France du
28 Novembre 2008, qui a la meme valeur supra-legislative que la
decision-cadre elle-meme a laquelle elle est annexee, seules seront
punissables la negation ou la banalisation grossière publiques des
crimes vises a l’article 1er, paragraphe 1, c) et/ou d) etablis par
une decision definitive rendue par une juridiction internationale.

Cette reserve d’interpretation s’imposerait, dès lors, aux
juridictions correctionnelles, en vertu de l’article 62, alinea 3
de la Constitution. L’auteur de propos niant un genocide ou un crime
contre l’humanite pourtant etablis par la loi ( Genocide Armenien –
loi n°2001-70 du 29 Janvier 2001 et Esclavage – loi n°2001-434 du 21
Mai 2001 ) n’aurait, partant, rien a redouter, en France, ni de la
justice penale ni de la justice civile !

Dans ces conditions, le texte qui nous est propose n’est qu’un ecran de
papier contre le negationnisme du Genocide Armenien et de l’Esclavage
qu’il se garde bien de mentionner, consideres comme sujets tabous.

Incomplet est son enonce, illusoire sera son application. Il n’est,
donc, pas acceptable.

En outre, la reference a l’injuste decision rendue le 28 Fevrier
2012 par le Conseil constitutionnel n’est qu’un pretexte pour
le Chef de l’Etat. …/… 3/4 En effet, cette decision, qui
n’est que l’expression d’un pouvoir hegemonique ayant congedie la
Raison universelle ( le Droit, selon PORTALIS ) – par laquelle le
Conseil constitutionnel a, a tort, empeche la promulgation de la loi
BOYER-KRIKORIAN definitivement adoptee par le Parlement le 23 Janvier
2012, en vue de la transposition de la decision-cadre du 28 Novembre
2008 – doit pouvoir etre soumise a la libre critique des citoyens
( cf. ma demande de resolution d’enquete parlementaire reprise par
Madame Valerie BOYER, mais dont l’inscription a l’ordre du jour a
ete illicitement refusee par Monsieur Claude BARTOLONE, President de
l’Assemblee Nationale ).

J’ai demontre, dans la requete en recusation que je lui ai adressee
le 04 Fevrier 2012, qu’en raison de la partialite manifeste – que
toute personne meme non juriste peut constater – dont il avait fait
montre sur son site internet officiel a l’egard de la loi n°2001-70
du 29 Janvier 2001, le Conseil constitutionnel devait s’abstenir
de juger la loi BOYER-KRIKORIAN qui lui avait ete irregulièrement
deferee par les parlementaires legicides ( v. les deux procès-verbaux
de constat d’huissier de justice publies sur le site internet
).

Le 28 Fevrier 2012, le vice n’etait pas dans la loi, mais dans
la mentalite partiale du juge constitutionnel. L’incrimination par
reference ( aux lois de reconnaissance des genocides et crimes contre
l’humanite ) est, parfaitement constitutionnelle, quoiqu’en pensent
les juges de la Rue de Montpensier.

Sans doute inspire par des motifs tenant a la realpolitik, – comme si
PARIS prenait ses ordres auprès de l’OTAN ou d’ANKARA – la où seul
le Droit ( JUS COGENS – principe de preeminence du Droit – interet
superieur de civilisation ) predomine, le projet de Francois HOLLANDE
est un leurre. Il n’assurera aucune protection juridictionnelle aux
victimes et descendants de victimes qu’il laissera totalement desarmes
face a la haine negationniste.

Ces considerations nous confortent dans notre demarche juridictionnelle
qui se presente, plus que jamais, comme la seule capable de nous
procurer la protection universelle par la loi penale contre le
negationnisme, procedure que les democrates de tous les pays ne
peuvent que soutenir.

Je ne puis, en consequence, que renvoyer au texte dont je demande au
juge des referes du Tribunal de Grande Instance de Marseille qu’il en
ordonne le depôt par le Premier ministre sous forme de projet de loi
et qui a ete judicieusement repris dans la dernière proposition de
loi que Madame Valerie BOYER, Deputee des Bouches-du-Rhône et cinq
autres de ses collègues ont, avec force courage et determination,
deposee le 06 Fevrier 2013 sur le Bureau de l’Assemblee Nationale.

Article 1er

Le premier alinea de l’article 24 bis de la loi du 29 juillet 1881
sur la liberte de la presse est redige ainsi qu’il suit :

‘Seront punis d’un emprisonnement de deux ans et d’une amende de 45 000
~@ ou de l’une de ces deux peines seulement ceux qui auront provoque
a la discrimination, a la haine ou a la violence dans les conditions
visees par le sixième alinea de l’article 24 en contestant, par un
des moyens enonces a l’article 23, l’existence ou la qualification
juridique d’un ou plusieurs genocides, crimes contre l’humanite et
crimes de guerre notoires dont la liste chronologique suit :

Esclavage et Traite ;

Genocide Armenien ;

crimes vises par l’article 6 du statut du tribunal militaire
international annexe a l’accord de Londres du 8 août 1945.

Vaudra contestation, au sens du present article, la negation, la
banalisation grossière ou la minimisation desdits crimes, de meme
que l’usage de tout terme ou signe depreciatif ou dubitatif pour les
designer, tel que ” soi-disant “, ” pretendu “, ” hypothetique ” ou
” suppose “.

Article 2

Dans l’article 48-2 de la loi du 29 juillet 1881 sur la liberte de la
presse, après les mots : ‘ou des deportes’, sont inseres les mots :
‘ou de toutes autres victimes’. ” ;

Aujourd’hui, le mot de LACORDAIRE n’en a que plus de resonance :

” Entre le fort et le faible ( … ) c’est la liberte qui opprime et
c’est la loi qui affranchit. ”

De meme, comme le disait Emmanuel KANT, la politique ne peut pas
faire un seul pas sans rendre hommage a la morale.

Sachons, donc, rappeler le Droit au bon souvenir des juges !

Armenian-Iranian Friendship And Peace Park May Be Awarded A Unesco C

ARMENIAN-IRANIAN FRIENDSHIP AND PEACE PARK MAY BE AWARDED A UNESCO CERTIFICATE

ARMINFO
Wednesday, April 10, 17:44

The Armenian-Iranian Friendship and Peace Park may turn into a
transboundary biosphere reserve, Aram Aghasyan, Head of the Special
Protection Areas Department of the Armenian Ministry of Nature
Protection, told ArmInfo. He said that the relevant documents will
be presented to UNESCO late this year.

The Friendship and Peace Park will include about 38 thsd ha from the
Armenian side and about 20 thsd ha (Dizmar Special protection Area)
from the Iranian side. It is noteworthy that from both sides it is
surrounded by other protected areas of Iran – Kyamaki wild refuge and
Arasbaran biosphere reserve. Aghasyan said that the transboundary
park will have migration corridors for animals, which is of great
importance to such Red Book species as leopards, Armenian mouflons
and bezoar goats.

At the moment the Armenian side is mapping the site and singles out
the places for eco-corridors (anout 4 thsd ha). The expert said that
Armenia keeps in touch with the Iranian specialists, who are expected
to visit Armenia in April. The project of creation of the Friendship
and Peace Park opens big opportunities for the scientists, as neither
of the sides conducted a fundamental survey of the biodiversity of
the territories. Thus, the Park will allow paying mutual visits and
activating cooperation between the research institutes of both states.

The Protocol on creation of the transboundary Friendship and Peace
Park was signed between Armenia and Iran on July 17 2012. To note,
created under UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere Reserve Programme, the
World Network of Biosphere Reserves covers internationally designated
protected areas, known as biosphere reserves. At present there are
over 500 biosphere reserves in more than 100 countries of the world.

Turkish Media Finds Attempts To Conceal Nationality Of Armenian Arch

TURKISH MEDIA FINDS ATTEMPTS TO CONCEAL NATIONALITY OF ARMENIAN ARCHITECT SINAN DISGRACEFUL

14:57, 10 April, 2013

YEREVAN, APRIL 10, ARMENPRESS. Turkish website marksist.org touched
upon the issue of nationality of prominent Armenian medieval architect
of the Ottoman Empire Sinan and stated that nobody tells anything
about the Armenian identity of the famous architect, of whom both
the Ottomans and the Turks were proud about.

As reports “Armenpress” the website stated that the chief architect
of the medieval period of the Ottoman Empire Sinan was born in an
Armenian family in a small town called Agırnas near the city of
Kayseri in Anatolia. At the age of 22 Sinan was conscripted into
Ottoman service as a son of Christian. He is the first Armenian,
upon whom the title of Pasha was bestowed.

Among other things the Turkish website stated: “Nobody was worried
about Sinan’s Armenian origin in the Ottoman Empire. But after the
establishment of the Republic of Turkey the Turkish “scientists”,
who suffer the complex of inferiority, opened his tomb to discover
whether he was a Turk or not.”

Sinân Ã~Bgâ was the chief Ottoman architect (Turkish: “Mimar”)
and civil engineer for sultans Suleiman the Magnificent, Selim II,
and Murad III. He was responsible for the construction of more than
three hundred major structures and other more modest projects, such
as his Islamic primary schools. His apprentices would later design
the Sultan Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul, Stari Most in Mostar and help
design the Taj Mahal in the Mughal Empire.

The son of a stonemason, he received a technical education and
became a military engineer. He rose rapidly through the ranks to
become first an officer and finally a Janissary commander, with the
honorific title of aga. He refined his architectural and engineering
skills while on campaign with the Janissaries, becoming expert
at constructing fortifications of all kinds, as well as military
infrastructure projects, such as roads, bridges and aqueducts. At
about the age of fifty, he was appointed as chief royal architect,
applying the technical skills he had acquired in the army to the
“creation of fine religious buildings” and civic structures of all
kinds. He remained in post for almost fifty years.

His masterpiece is the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, although his most
famous work is the Suleiman Mosque in Istanbul. He headed an extensive
governmental department and trained many assistants who, in turn,
distinguished themselves, including Sedefkar Mehmed Agha, architect of
the Sultan Ahmed Mosque. He is considered the greatest architect of
the classical period of Ottoman architecture, and has been compared
to Michelangelo, his contemporary in the West. Michelangelo and his
plans for St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome were well known in Istanbul,
since Leonardo da Vinci and he had been invited, in 1502 and 1505
respectively, by the Sublime Porte to submit plans for a bridge
spanning the Golden Horn.
