Good News Of Social Networks

GOOD NEWS OF SOCIAL NETWORKS

Lragir.am
Society – 27 March 2015, 23:00

The Zhamanak newspaper reported that since February 14 the fake
Facebook accounts of PAP have not been updated. The newspaper has
found out that during the party’s active period, especially in the
last few months when it was preparing for a revolution, PAP had about
700 fake accounts in social networks.

Fake accounts are a unique weapon of mass destruction in Armenian
politics which are used to eliminate a persona non grata or an
undesired idea continuously and cruelly. This is not the only advantage
of fakes, of course. The mission includes glorification of leaders,
imparting their steps with national or universal importance, certainly
paired with biting at everyone who will disagree with that step or
idea, who will doubt their national or universal nature. In brief,
“fakes” are the social armor of the leading Armenian “political
subjects” in the absence of a real social and ideological base of
these subjects.

The number of PAP’s fake accounts hints how much money Tsarukyan
spent on the “bourgeois-democratic revolution”, from doorkeeper
parties and different organizations to press, fakes and “zombies”.

These expenses turned out to be meaningless when the
“bourgeois-democratic revolution” vanished, and the entire
revolutionary mass appeared in a stupid situation. Of course,
Tsarukyan knows how to spend his money, especially that part of his
money turned out to be the result of tax avoidance, in other words,
instead of the treasury the money went to the “revolutionary mass”.

However, the campaigners of this mass managed to mar the
public-political-civil field in the “pre-revolution” period with false
ideas and schemes which influenced even the knowledgeable people who
should have had the courage to think and assess independently.

In fact, interestingly, the “bourgeois-democratic revolution” with
its entire entourage turned out to be a huge fake.

It is a definitely positive thing that these fake accounts are not
being updated. However, they may be updated at any moment, as soon as
a client, money and order is in place because it is a well-trained and
experienced resource. Not only the “bourgeois-democratic revolution”
but also the entire political and economic system of Armenia is a
fake based on a fake set of values. They will not let this resource
go. The Armenian system is not capable of another level of public
and political activities.

In the meantime, the public has a chance to reveal fakes and bust
their influence. There is a favorable situation for that.

I am not a nationalist, but what happened was genocide: Mahçupyan

I am not a nationalist, but what happened was genocide: Mahçupyan

15:38, 28 March, 2015

YEREVAN, 28 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Senior Advisor to the Prime Minister of
Turkey, Istanbul-Armenian Etyen Mahçupyan, who is recently standing
out with his anti-Armenian statements, has declared that he considers
the events of 1915 as Genocide. As “Armenpress” reports, citing the
Turkish Haberler.com, this is what Mahçupyan talked about during a
roundtable discussion on “Understanding Change: The Era of JDP in
Turkey” in London.

He reiterated the statement that he had made in Belgium, stating that
even though he is Armenian, he considers himself an Ottoman. “As I
said yesterday, I feel more like an Ottoman than an Armenian. I am not
a nationalist, but I use the term “Armenian Genocide” when touching
upon the topic of the genocide of 1915. I believe what happened was
genocide since there is a clear formulation of genocide, and what
happened falls in line with that formulation. If you change the
formulation, the events may not be considered as genocide. Many people
might not understand me. Genocide is not a historical formulation, but
a legal term,” Mahçupyan mentioned.

On 27 March, Turkish presses reported that the Senior Advisor to
Turkey’s Prime Minister had said he did not care if the Armenians
referred to him as a “traitor”. “After all, each Armenian has a
different view. It’s very likely that there are Armenians who refer to
me as a “traitor”, but that does not matter,” he added.

ANKARA: Istanbul-Based Armenian Church Daubed With Hate Messages

ISTANBUL-BASED ARMENIAN CHURCH DAUBED WITH HATE MESSAGES

Today’s Zaman, Turkey
March 25 2015

This image circulated on Twitter shows one of the messages on the
wall of the Armenian church, which reads: “What does it matter if
you are all Armenian when one of us is Ogun Samast.”

March 25, 2015, Wednesday/ 16:02:30/ ZEYNEP KARATAÃ…~^ / ISTANBUL

The Surp Astuanzazh Armenian Church in İstanbul’s Bakırköy
neighborhood was daubed with hate speech on Tuesday as “1915, blessed
year” was written on the side of the building in reference to the
massacre of more than 1 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire
during World War I.

Tensions have been growing since Turkey announced in January that
it would host international events to commemorate the centennial of
the Gallipoli Campaign on April 24, a date that overlaps with the
annual commemoration of the massacres, which many countries consider
to be genocide.

In addition to “1915, blessed year,” further graffiti on the church
stated, “What does it matter if you are all Armenian when there is
already one Ogun Samast.”

The message echoes a demonstration slogan that commemorated the murder
of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink who was assassinated in
2007 by then-17-year-old ultranationalist Samast. In the aftermath
of the murder, thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to show
empathy for the slain journalist with signs reading “We are all Hrant,
we are all Armenian.”

Today’s Zaman visited the site on Wednesday morning and found that
the graffiti had been painted over. But an administrator at the
church said, “This type of thing happens all the time.” The Armenian
Patriarchate of İstanbul refused to comment on the matter. No criminal
complaint has been filed.

The incident comes hot on the heels of another racist slur against
Armenians in Turkey. It was reported on Tuesday that Ankara Mayor
Melih Gökcek had filed a criminal complaint against Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hayko Bagdat on defamation charges after Bagdat posted
lighthearted tweets on his Twitter account referring to the mayor as
an Armenian after the March 2014 local elections.

Gökcek appears to believe it an insult to be called an Armenian
as his lawyer petitioned the Ankara Prosecutor’s Office, saying,
“The statements [by Bagdat] are false and include insult and libel.”

Colloque International Sur Le Genocide Des Armeniens : Discours De N

COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL SUR LE GENOCIDE DES ARMENIENS : DISCOURS DE NAJAT VALLAUD-BELKACEM

Publie le : 27-03-2015

Info Collectif VAN – – Le 25 mars 2015, Najat
Vallaud-Belkacem, ministre de l’Education nationale, de l’Enseignement
superieur et de la Recherche ouvrait le colloque international

Aujourd’hui, l’echo de ces voix-la resonne encore a nos oreilles.

Je souhaite remercier le .

Cette reconnaissance est essentielle car c’est aussi la reconnaissance
due aux 500 000 francais d’origine armenienne, descendants de
survivants ; a tous ceux d’entre eux qui, refugies en France, comme
Missak Manouchian, se sont battus pour la France et sont morts pour
elle en heros.

Cette reconnaissance est, de facon universelle, la reconnaissance
due aux individus persecutes, aux minorites opprimees et aux peuples
menaces dans leur existence.

C’est aussi ce qui conduit la France a affirmer que le negationnisme
est intolerable, car le droit est ce qui protège contre toutes les
formes de manipulation. Et c’est la position de la France auprès de
la Cour europeenne des droits de l’homme.

Les diasporas armeniennes vivant dans des pays libres ont
magnifiquement illustre a quel point la connaissance scientifique
est une arme essentielle pour la reconnaissance et contre le
negationnisme. A l’image d’Archag Tchobanian, arrive a Paris en 1895
pour prendre la defense de son peuple precipite dans les massacres
hamidiens, les intellectuels armeniens ont fait du livre et de l’ecrit
un combat pour la verite.

Dans le domaine de la recherche, nous devons beaucoup aux historiens
d’origine armenienne, que ce soient les grands historiens francais
Anahide Ter Minassian, Raymond Kervokian et tant d’autres, ou les
historiens americains comme par exemple Vahakn Dadrian et Richard
Hovannisian.

En Turquie, les Armeniens travaillent main dans la main avec des
intellectuels et historiens turcs, dont certains ont paye de leur
vie ce combat pour la verite : je pense en particulier a Hrant Dink,
assassine le 19 janvier 2007. Je veux remercier la politiste Bursa
Ersanli [prononcer Ersanleu], l’editeur Ragip [prononcer Ragueup]
Zarakolu ou encore Fethiye [prononcer Fetiye] Cetin [prononcer
Chtetine] d’etre presents aujourd’hui.

Mais les chercheurs d’identite armenienne n’oeuvrent pas seuls. Et
ce centenaire de l’evenement installe les historiens armeniens au
coeur de l’histoire globale des sciences sociales des genocides ;
il est l’occasion, et ce colloque en est la manifestation, du passage
du genocide armenien a un statut d’objet historique global. En France,
le desenclavement de cet objet d’etudes, dont Yves Ternon, puis Pierre
Vidal-Naquet, ont ete les precurseurs, s’est poursuivi avec l’apport
des specialistes de la Première Guerre mondiale : les historiens
de la Grande Guerre l’incluent desormais pleinement l’etude et la
comprehension des phenomènes extremes de violence guerrière.

L’apport de la turcologie a lui aussi ete determinant, les specialistes
du monde turco-ottoman ayant su aborder l’evenement sans concession.

Enfin, en France, l’etude comparee sur les genocides a permis
d’eclairer l’evenement a la lumière de la recherche sur la Shoah,
mais aussi de la recherche, en plein essor, sur le genocide des Tutsi
au Rwanda.

Aujourd’hui, c’est forts de la somme de ces recherches que nous
pouvons nous souvenir collectivement, et rendre hommage aux victimes.

La recherche, le livre, la creation, sont aussi un apaisement a la
douleur des memoires. Ce sont autant de ponts jetes entre le passe
et l’avenir.

Mais le travail des historiens est, enfin, ce qui permet a une nation
de regarder plus loin, vers l’avenir, et d’empecher les massacres de
se reproduire.

L’histoire, en tant que science du passe des nations, en nous apprenant
d’où nous venons, nous permet aussi d’eclairer notre avenir.

Parce que, grâce a elle, nous pouvons nous projeter collectivement,
elle nous aide a construire notre citoyennete.

L’histoire n’est pas que celle des puissances et des empires : elle
est aussi celles des peuples et des gens, elle est aussi l’histoire
sociale et l’histoire populaire.

Parce que la citoyennete republicaine est fondee sur le savoir,
la connaissance, le refus de la fatalite, l’ecole a un rôle central
a jouer pour cette transmission. C’est elle qui peut rendre reelle
la promesse de la Republique a ses enfants de les faire grandir dans
l’egalite et la tolerance. C’est elle qui peut semer les germes d’une
memoire partagee.

Je veux ici rendre hommage a tous les professeurs d’histoire-geographie
de France qui y contribuent au quotidien. Le genocide des Armeniens de
l’Empire ottoman, qui fait partie de notre memoire a tous, est etudie
par tous au cours de la scolarite obligatoire, en classe de 3ème.

A l’ecole, nous transmettons l’eveil de la citoyennete, la culture du
debat d’idees, la lutte contre les prejuges et contre toutes les formes
de persecution. Nous apprenons la difference entre la controverse,
le dialogue, qui est a la source meme de la connaissance, et la
manipulation ou la falsification.

A l’ecole, les elèves doivent apprendre a comprendre le monde, mais
aussi apprendre a vouloir le changer, pour prendre pleinement leur
place de citoyen. C’est le sens des reformes que nous adoptons, avec
la mise en place dès la rentree prochaine d’un enseignement moral et
civique tout au long de la scolarite obligatoire.

Mais cette transmission ne peut se faire seulement a l’ecole, sans
l’appui de la recherche.

Elle doit se poursuivre dans l’enseignement superieur et la recherche,
où les etudes sur les genocides doivent pouvoir encore mieux trouver
leur place, comme les > ont pu trouver la leur
outre-Atlantique notamment.

Par l’ampleur des questions qu’elles recouvrent, elles concernent de
très nombreuses disciplines scientifiques, dans les sciences humaines
et sociales et au-dela. Alors que nous entrons dans le deuxième siècle
de recherches sur le genocide armenien, je souhaite lancer une mission
d’etude dressant un etat des lieux de la recherche sur les genocides
pour permettre a celle-ci de se developper.

Confronter les points de vue, comprendre ce qui a conduit aux
evenements tragiques du passe, c’est ce qui nous permettra de prevenir
la possibilite de leur repetition demain. C’est ce qui nous permettra
de continuer le combat contre l’oubli.

C’est le sens je crois que le President de la Republique a souhaite
donner a ce colloque, qui se tient sous son haut-patronage.

En attendant le 24 avril, où je me rendrai a Erevan aux côtes du
President de la Republique pour une commemoration internationale
exceptionnelle, j’aime a voir dans la tenue de ce grand colloque
international a la Sorbonne une promesse d’inscription durable de
cette histoire dans le present et dans l’avenir : la definition
meme de l’histoire selon Thucydide, qui l’appelait

Azerbaijan Bears Full Responsibility For Military Escalation Of Conf

AZERBAIJAN BEARS FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MILITARY ESCALATION OF CONFLICT – ARMAN KIRAKOSSIAN

12:30 27/03/2015 >> POLITICS

On March 26, Permanent Representative of Armenia to the OSCE,
Ambassador Arman Kirakossian delivered a speech at the Meeting of
the OSCE Permanent Council, the press service of Armenian Foreign
Ministry reported.

Ambassador Kirakossian touched upon the military infiltration on March
19 of the Azerbaijani armed forces along the Line of Contact in the
Martakert region of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, which resulted in
four casualties of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army. He stressed that
the response of the armed unit of the Defense Army inflicted numerous
losses on the Azerbaijani subversive group and that Azerbaijan tries to
hide its military losses, officially restricting access of journalists
and representatives of civil society to borderline settlements.

Mr Kirakossian noted that for the first time since the ceasefire was
established Azerbaijan used artillery with caliber of 120 mm, which
indicates Baku’s intention to further escalate the situation. Such
deliberate actions of Azerbaijan are aimed at undermining of the
ceasefire regime, established by the trilateral ceasefire agreements
in May 1994 and February 1995, shifting the military balance.

Ambassador Kirakossian stressed that this alarming development
should be a matter of close attention of Minsk Group Co-Chairs and
the Personal Representative of the Chairperson-in-Office.

Ambassador Kirakossian noted that while the world marks the
International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, the
Azerbaijani leadership sends the messages of hatred and xenophobia. In
this regard, he quoted the statements by the President and Minister of
Defense of Azerbaijan, where they voiced claims to the territory of
the capital of Armenia and other territories and overtly expressed
their intention to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through
military aggression.

The Permanent Representative of Armenia highlighted that physical
survival of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh and protection from
mass atrocities are under responsibilities of the Nagorno-Karabakh
authorities. He recalled that no indigenous population survived
in those parts of Nagorno-Karabakh which fell under the control
of Azerbaijani armed forces. In this context, Arman Kirakossian
stated that Azerbaijan strives to resume the military phase of the
conflict to suppress the right of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh to
self-determination through use of force.

Condemning power policy of the Azerbaijani leadership, the Ambassador
stressed that Azerbaijan bears full responsibility for the military
escalation of the conflict and its consequences. He reiterated
Armenia’s firm position that consolidation of ceasefire by implying
confidence-building measures is crucial to advance peace talks.
