KARABAKH SOLUTION HAS TO ONE OF ‘INCLUSION, NOT EXCLUSION’

Azerbaijan

News.Az interviews Denis Haughey, ex-chairman of the Social Democratic
and Labour Party (SDLP) and a senior member of the SDLP team in
peace talks.

Could you introduce yourself? Are you still a member of the Northern
Ireland parliament?

No, I was a member of the Northern Ireland parliament or assembly and
I was a minister in the executive which was led by David Trimble and
Seamus Mallon. I was a minister in the office of the first and deputy
first minister.

In the dispute with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan has said
that is ready to give a high level of autonomy to Nagorno-Karabakh.

What would you advise for this kind of dispute, based on the Irish
example?

The first thing I need to make clear is that we cannot prescribe for
the people of Armenia or Azerbaijan the kind of solution that you
must seek. We can only describe the methods that we used or followed
in order to arrive at a solution here. The first provision that we
made was that all significant parties to the dispute had to be around
the table for discussions. And that secondly everything had to be on
the table, nothing could be ruled out beforehand, so that every party
to the dispute had to be able to make their case as they saw fit, and
have it discussed. So those are the two basic principles that I think
have to be followed if there is to be any resolution of any dispute
anywhere in the world. Every significant party must be involved in
discussions and everything must be on the table for discussion.

Ireland, as the OSCE chairing state next year, has said that conflict
settlements in the OSCE area will be a priority. What do you think
are the mechanisms or possibilities for Ireland to contribute to
a settlement?

Well, we have a lot of experience, given that we have an ongoing
quarrel here which has lasted hundreds of years and it has given
rise to repeated, sporadic outbreaks of violence, the most recent
of which lasted for about 25 years and caused about three and a half
thousand deaths in a small population of about one and three-quarter
million people. That’s a very significant level of hostilities, a
very significant level of armed conflict. And we brought that to an
end, and therefore we have some experience of that. I believe that
every party in Ireland, whether of the Irish National persuasion or
of the Ulster Unionist persuasion, is very willing to meet with and
help any other peoples in the world who have disputes that they have
not yet satisfactorily resolved.

In particular in Ireland there is a very strong territorial dimension
to the problem, in that Northern Ireland, still being part of the UK,
nevertheless somewhere between 40 and 50 per cent of its population
is of the Irish national identity. And therefore the dispute is over
territory, whether Ulster so-called is British or whether Ulster is
Irish. We came to the conclusion that, well, it is both; it is both
Irish and British, there are upwards of eight or nine hundred thousand,
maybe a million people living here who identify themselves as British,
about seven or eight hundred thousand people who identify themselves
as Irish, therefore this territory cannot be exclusively Irish or
exclusively British. Therefore, if you are looking for a solution,
it has to be one not of exclusion but of inclusion.

Northern Ireland and secessionists in Karabakh want to be declared
independent states. Do you think that they have any chances of being
recognized by the international community or are there more chances
of being integrated into their own societies, Nagorno-Karabakh in
Azerbaijan and Northern Ireland in Britain?

Again, I stress that we’re not in a position to prescribe a solution to
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue but it would appear that Nagorno-Karabakh
has been for some time, not for ever but for some time, part of
Azerbaijan, but it is populated largely by people of Armenian
nationality. How that issue is resolved is a matter for yourselves
to work out, but it would appear to me that it has to involve both
states, that Nagorno-Karabakh has a connection with both Azerbaijan
and Armenia, and frameworks need to be found to give recognition to
both linkages between the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh and
Armenia itself, and Nagorno-Karabakh and the jurisdiction to which
it has for some time been part. The framework of those linkages is
something that you have to work out to your own satisfaction. We have
some experience of that. We can give you examples of how we worked
it out in relation to Northern Ireland remaining part of the United
Kingdom until a majority wish it to be otherwise, but establishing
cross-border agencies and bodies within Ireland to give recognition
to the feeling that Irish nationals have that this Ireland is one
country. Human imagination is such that it is possible to devise
imaginative new frameworks that give recognition to the conflicting
aspirations and the conflicting linkages between peoples.

Denis Haughey is a founder member of the Social Democratic and Labour
Party (SDLP) and former party chairman. He was a senior member of
the SDLP negotiating team in the Northern Ireland peace talks that
led to the Good Friday Agreement.

OSCE MG CO-CHAIRS TO PARTAKE IN MONITORING ON ARMENIAN AND AZERBAIJANI TROOPS’ CONTACT LINE

Trend
Nov 28 2011
Azerbaijan

OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs will take part in the monitoring on the
contact line of the Armenian and Azerbaijani troops.

Monitoring will be held on the contact line between Armenian and
Azerbaijani armed forces near the Jafarli village in the Gazakh region
on Nov.29, the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said. The monitoring will
be held under a mandate of the OSCE chairman.

The monitoring will be held on the Azerbaijani side by the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk, his
field assistants Antal Herdich and William Pryor.

The monitoring will be held on the opposite side, which the
international community recognizes as Azerbaijani territory, by OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative Andrzej Kasprzyk’s field
assistants Imre Palatinus, Christo Christov and Marius Puodziunas.

During the monitoring the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs and the OSCE
Chairman-in-Office Personal Representative are planned to move from
the occupied territories to the contact line controlled by Azerbaijani
Armed Forces.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia, France, and the U.S. –
are currently holding the peace negotiations.

Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.

ARA MALIKIAN’S ‘PAGAGNINI’ TO BE SHOWCASED IN Ä°STANBUL

Today’s Zaman

Nov 27 2011
Turkey

A contemporary classical music show that brings the spirit of legendary
Italian violinist Niccolò Paganini alive on the stage is set for a
rare showcase in Ä°stanbul next month.

Titled “Pagagnini,” the show offers the audience a medley of
emotions with its unique mix of music from a selection of the greatest
compositions by such geniuses as Mozart, Pachalbel, Chopin, Boccherini,
Falla, Sarasate and Paganini to such popular genres as rock and folk —
with slapstick humor.

The quartet behind the show — led by virtuoso violinist Ara Malikian
with fellow violin players Eduardo Ortega and Fernando Clemente and
cellist Gartxot Ortiz — created “Pagagnini” in 2007 and have since
presented their unique performance at hundreds of venues across the
world. Yet next month’s one-off performance on Dec. 7 at the Cemal
ReÅ~_it Rey Concert Hall (CRRKS) will be the show’s first-ever staging
in Turkey.

“Pagagnini,” a joint effort between Malikian and the Madrid-based
artists collective Yllana, was created with inspiration from Paganini’s
own genius, taking as its basis his complex compositions, outstanding
personality and amazingly talented interpretations.

Lebanese-born Armenian violinist Malikian, billed as one of the
most brilliant and expressive musicians of his generation, spoke
about the show and his fascination with the violin in an interview
over the phone from his home in Madrid leading up to the group’s
Ä°stanbul performance.

“Pagagnini” combines classical music with humor. Do you believe these
kinds of shows help attract younger audiences to classical music?

I think young people are afraid of listening to classical music because
they fear that they wouldn’t understand it, therefore they wouldn’t
enjoy it. Combining humor with classical music is one of the many
ways of making them realize that this music isn’t that difficult to
enjoy. One doesn’t have to be an expert to be able to enjoy it. The
classical world is too serious and too rigid and young people don’t
identify themselves with it. It’s time to change it so that they
realize this music is in fact wonderful.

Your show reviews some of the pinnacle moments in the history of
classical music. Can we call “Pagagnini” a kind of entertaining,
live documentary on classical music?

I don’t think “Pagagnini” is a documentary nor a pedagogical show.

“Pagagnini” is rather a musical show where we have fun with music
and we try to share it with the public. It is a show where we want
people to enjoy music with good humor.

Critics say the mix of styles in your show offers audiences a medley
of emotions. What do you on stage offer for the audience?

After touring throughout the world with “Pagagnini” we can be sure
that music and humor are two emotions that nobody on Earth can live
without. And when we combine them together, there can be an explosion
of emotions, which can make anybody really happy.

Your show’s title refers to the legendary Italian violinist, but is
the whole show inspired by his way of playing music?

Of course the show “Pagagnini” is a tribute to the greatest violinist
of all times. Paganini was the first rock star in the history of
music. He made music popular and played concerts for massive audiences.

As the show’s musical director, how would you describe the music in
the show?

Taking care of the musical level of the show was important for
me. We had to find a way to have fun with — through — [the] music
of Paganini, Mozart and Vivaldi with the biggest respect [for their
music] and [without sacrificing] perfection. If not, it would have
been a ridiculous and poor show.

As a genius violinist, you gave your first concert at the age of 14.

Do you remember how you fell in love with the violin?

My father was a violinist himself, so he made me fall in love with
music — and the violin — from a very early age. I don’t remember
myself without a violin in my hands.

You have also worked with some of the most talented dancers, like
Joaquin Cortes. “Pagagnini” also includes very colorful choreography.

Are you into dance?

Of course I don’t consider myself a dancer, but I always loved all
sorts of dancing. I consider music such a big influence on us that I
can’t stop my body from moving when I play or hear music. Music has
the power to penetrate into our body and soul.

You are going to perform in Ä°stanbul for the first time on Dec. 7.

What do you think about Ä°stanbul?

I am looking forward to coming to Ä°stanbul. It is a unique city. I
am sure I am going to fall in love with the city and its beauty.

PARTICIPANT OF SELF-DEFENSE OPERATIONS IN KIROVABAD: IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS, WE ALWAYS WIN IF WE ARE UNITED

Panorama
Nov 28 2011
Armenia

An exclusive interview by Panorama.am with representative of the
Armenian Refugee Association AHAZANG Grigory Oganezov about Armenian
self-defense operations during the massacres in Kirovabad in November
1988.

According to incomplete data, 18 people were killed in Kirovabad from
November 21 to 27, 1988, 60 are listed as missing, 74 received grave
injuries. Around 45 000 people were forcibly deported from Gandzak.

– We often talk about the Baku and Sumgait massacres but we know
little about the heroic self-defense of Armenians in Gandzak which
was called Kirovabad during the later Soviet Union period.

– During the Armenian massacres of 1988, I participated in self-defense
operations in Kirovabad.

The Sumgait plot was used in Kirovabad, too. The town’s Azerbaijani
and Armenian blocks were separated by a river, and the crowd,
crossing the river, penetrated into the Armenian block, destroying
everything in their path. The next day the local authorities were
replacing the broken glasses and repairing the damages trying to
hide the consequences. The same thing had happened in 1959: when
Leninakan football team beat the local team in Kirovabad playing
field, the Azerbaijanis sacked the Armenian block, and the next day
the authorities eliminated the consequences. That is why we expected
that the events would turn this way. Then Soviet troops appeared in the
town, young servicemen who had no idea what was going on in the town.

– That is anti-Armenian speeches had begun long before the November
massacres?

– In February already unconcealed anti-Armenian speeches were voiced
on television, at institutions, we had to accompany our children to
school and back home. Armenians were fired from their jobs. This tense
situation lasted until 1988 November. From mid-November an alleged
environmental protest was being prepared in Kirovabad’s Lenin Square,
but the environmental slogans were shortly transformed into calls
“Death to Armenians.” We managed to avoid high casualties in Kirovabad
due to correct arrangement and coordination of operations. We were
keeping a close eye on the events in other Azerbaijani regions where
Armenian massacres were taking place.

– So in November already you were ready to hit back at the Azerbaijani
pogrom makers. How was this process organized?

– We gathered in the church, established an initiating committee,
got in touch with commandant Pyotr Polyakh who visited us immediately.

Armenians were phoning the church from the town’s Azerbaijani block,
asking for help, with the Azerbaijani pogrom makers having found out
the addresses of local Armenians. The town had declared a curfew. We
asked Polyakh to allow withdrawal of Armenians from Azerbaijani
blocks at nights. On the first night we managed to withdraw nearly 70
families. We took them to the church. The refugees needed shelter, we
had to provide medical aid to injured people, to feed the hungry. With
joint efforts we managed to provide them with clothes, medicines,
and food.

– Is there a documentation of the Armenian massacres in Kirovabad?

– We have collected all facts on the Armenian massacres in Kirovabad
and delivered them to the Soviet leadership. These facts include
statements by 1 300 families, around 5 000 people, while 50 000
Armenians lived in Kirovabad. We compiled lists of Azerbaijani pogrom
makers who raped the Armenian women and killed the men. All these
facts were registered at the military hospital, during the physical
exam, and we have a certificate for each case. Around 70 injured
people stayed in the church, another 300 had parts of their body
amputated with our help. Town hospitals refused to admit them, what
is more, Armenians receiving treatment at hospitals were forced out,
for instance, the wife of the evening school headmaster was forced
out of the hospital after she had her leg amputated.

– Did the Azerbaijanis burst into the Armenian block or they committed
killings in their territory only?

– On the first day of November massacres the Azerbaijanis attacked
the church, then they penetrated into the Armenian block, however,
facing organized resistance, they fled to the Azerbaijani side. We
immediately introduced explanations to the commandants on where
and how to block the points leading to Armenian streets in order
to prevent the Azerbaijani attacks. After we were deprived of phone
communication, electricity and water, we asked for a walkie-talkie
to keep in touch with the commandants. The initiating committee met
every day to coordinate the operations. Every Armenian block and
street organized self-defense.

– Were the Armenians evacuated from the town?

– No one had thought we would have to leave Kirovabad. However, after
the earthquake in Armenia we realized that we could not get help
from anywhere, and we fled on our own, with our own resources. The
initiating committee stayed in Kirovabad from 1988 December to 1989
August and organized evacuations of the Armenians. They were leaving
either for Armenia or Russia. There was a military unit in Kirovabad
where planes were repaired, and together with Armenians, all Russians
were also forcedly deported from there and joined us in the church.

There were also Georgians there. These were not only Armenian
massacres, but massacres of all non-Azerbaijanis. Azerbaijanis arriving
from Armenia exchanged their apartments with the property of the
Armenians in Kirovabad, they deceived Armenians, transferring their
apartments in Armenia to several Armenian families simultaneously,
after which many families were left homeless. On returning to Armenia,
they saw other legal owners living in the apartment transferred to
them also. The Armenians were transferred from the town by public
transport vehicles arriving from Georgia, which were often robbed
by the Azerbaijanis on the way. There were cases when passengers
of Baku-Ijevan train were forced to get off the train at Kirovabad
station and the train would not move on. The Azerbaijanis surrounded
the train, demanding to transfer the Armenians to them.

– Who coordinated the Armenian massacres in Kirovabad?

– The local government. I have kept a recording of speech by second
secretary of Kirovabad Jumshud Mamedov during a rally where he
said that only 500-600 families were killed. Despite the facts were
deliberately distorted and cut threefold, it sounded horrible. The
local prosecutor’s office had registered the massacres in the period
from November 21 to 27 because Kirovabad leadership made public just
these data during anti-Armenian actions. We have kept a recording
where an Azerbaijani confesses that they were forced to attend these
rallies under the threat of being fired from job. The Armenophobic
propaganda was on the highest level. All these facts were transferred
to the Soviet Prosecutor’s Office and are kept at archives.

– Was this in fact the first organized resistance to Azerbaijani
brutal crowd? Did it influence further developments?

– Kirovabad’s self-defense was an incentive for Karabakh. Cars arrived
even from Stepanakert, delivering food to us. We felt that support. In
critical situations, we, Armenians, always win if we are united. When
the initiating committee was leaving Kirovabad finally, we locked the
church and brought the keys to Etchmiadzin. We did not manage to take
away the church property. We are preparing a letter to UNESCO to save
the church and the Armenian cemetery from vandalism. Besides, I am
making a book with all facts on the Armenian massacres in Kirovabad,
official documents, recordings, and evidence.

– Every year you gather to commemorate the victims of Armenian
massacres.

– Yes, we have installed a khachkar (cross-stone) in Tsitsernakaberd in
memory of the Armenians who were killed in Kirovabad and in neighboring
villages. We visit the khachkar on the last Sunday of November every
year and lay flowers at the memorial. We are meeting at Surb Hakob
Church in Kanaker-Zeytun community of Yerevan on November 27. Our
priest, Ter Sahak, who also participated in self-defense operations
in Kirovabad, will offer liturgy, then we will visit Tsitsernakaberd
to lay flowers at the khachkar.

LE JOURNALISTE RAFIK TAGI A SUCCOMBE A SES BLESSURES
Stephane

armenews.com
lundi 28 novembre 2011

Le 23 novembre 2011, l’ecrivain et journaliste Rafik Tagi est decede
quatre jours après avoir ete victime d’une attaque a l’arme blanche,
survenue dans la nuit du 19 novembre 2011.

“Nous sommes choques par cette nouvelle tragique et temoignons tout
notre soutien a la famille et aux collègues de Rafik Tagi. Au vu des
recents articles du journaliste et des poursuites judiciaires dont
il a pu faire l’objet dans le passe, nous demandons a ce que la piste
professionnelle soit serieusement envisagee,” a declare l’organisation.

Rafik Tagi, journaliste a Sanat, rentrait a pied a son domicile a
Bakou, le 19 novembre 2011, lorsqu’un individu non identifie l’a
attaque a l’arme blanche. L’agresseur lui a d’abord inflige trois
coups de couteau dans le dos puis trois autres dans l’abdomen avant
de prendre la fuite. Malgre une grave hemorragie, le journaliste a
pu regagner son domicile et appeler une ambulance. Il a subi deux
operations chirurgicales, les coups qu’il a recus a l’abdomen lui
ayant perfore le diaphragme. Age de 64 ans, Rafik Tagi n’a pas survecu
a ses blessures.

Rafik Tagi etait connu pour ses critiques de l’islam. Le 10 novembre,
il avait publie un article sur un site Internet local, dans lequel
il critiquait le regime de Teheran et le president iranien Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad, qu’il accusait de discrediter l’islam et de constituer
une menace pour le monde civilise.

L’enquete a ete placee sous le contrôle du procureur general et du
ministère de l’Interieur. Le 22 novembre, le porte-parole du Conseil
de la presse a reconnu le lien possible entre l’attaque et les recents
articles du journaliste.

Le 15 novembre 2006, Rafik Tagi avait ete arrete et condamne en
2007 a 3 ans de prison suite a la publication d’un article intitule
“L’Europe et nous”, dans lequel il developpait l’idee selon laquelle
l’influence des valeurs humanistes et universelles de l’Europe serait
plus benefique a l’Azerbaïdjan que l’islam. Le 25 novembre 2006, un
mollah iranien avait emis une fatwa appelant a tuer le journaliste. Le
28 decembre 2007, Rafik Tagi avait beneficie d’une grâce presidentielle
avec 119 autres prisonniers.

Les journalistes sont pris en otage dans une guerre diplomatique que
se livrent l’Azerbaïdjan et l’Iran, chaque pays accusant ses propres
journaliste d’espionnage au profit de l’autre. Le 31 août 2011, le
correspondant pour RFE/RL Yafez Hasanov a ete enleve au Nakhitchivan
par trois hommes qui l’ont amene a la frontière iranienne et l’ont
force a traverser l’Iran pour rejoindre Bakou. Son media est juge
illegal en Iran et ses agresseurs l’ont menace de represailles s’il
revenait au Nakhitchivan avant un mois. Le correspondant etait venu
enqueter sur la mort en detention d’un homme accuse d’espionnage au
profit de l’Iran.

ARMENIE-AZERBAÏDJAN
Serge Sarkissian « la vie de chacun de nos soldats nous est très chère »
…si ce n’est pas le cas pour les azéris

« Parce que le problème n’est pas réglé, la frontière restera toujours
dans l’insécurité. J’espère que cette situation ne mettra pas en
danger la vie des hommes » dit le président arménien Serge Sarkissian
aux journalistes vendredi. S. Sarkissian qui se trouvait dans la
région de Kegharkounik répondait aux médias sur les accrochages
frontaliers des derniers jours. Le président arménien ajouta « Lors
des derniers jours nous avons enregistré la mort de 2 soldats et
l’Azerbaïdjan porte l’entière responsabilité de ces actes. Ainsi que
des futures pertes de l’armée azérie…Pour nous la vie de chacun de
nos soldats est très chère. Mais si pour les azéris, la vie de leurs
soldats ne représente pas grand-chose, pour nous ce n’est pas le cas.
Je pense que graduellement cette situation d’insécurité aux frontières
va baisser en intensité. Car c’est la logique humaine. Si nous
désirons régler un problème, nous devons avoir la volonté de le
régler. C’est une affaire de conviction ». Face aux provocations
azéries violant régulièrement le cessez-le-feu, l’Arménie qui a
largement les moyens de répondre à ces agressions, propose la voie du
respect des accords mutuels pour sauvegarder la paix dans la région.
Message direct adress à Bakou.

SPECTACLES
Bientôt Spartacus au Palais des Congrès de Paris

Le Moscou Thétre ballet et France Concert présentent les 11 et 12
février 2012 au Palais des Congrès de Paris le magnifique ballet
Spartacus sur une chorégraphie de Louri Grigorovitch, musique d’Aram
Khatchatourian.

` Spartacus `, l’incroyable destinée d’un esclave devenu chef de guerre…

De toutes les figures de la Rome Antique, Spartacus est probablement
l’une des plus emblématiques. L’histoire de ce gladiateur devenu
meneur politique et redoutable stratège, a été la source d’inspiration
de nombreuses `uvres artistiques, du cinéma à la littérature, en
passant par le thétre.

Spartacus décide de fuir l’école de gladiateurs où il est retenu
prisonnier. Accompagné d’environ 70 autres fugitifs, il s’installera
au sein d’un domaine agricole de la région de Naples (les fameuses `
latifundia `), où il vivra en indépendance, loin du joug de Rome. Peu
à peu, la communauté grandira, jusqu’à devenir une véritable armée de
plus de 120 000 hommes, dont Spartacus prendra le commandement.

Le nouveau chef de guerre mènera de nombreuses batailles, déjouant les
pièges tendus par l’armée romaine, notamment son principal ennemi, le
commandant Crassus. Ces faits d’arme feront de Spartacus le principal
protagoniste de ce que l’on appellera plus tard la ` Guerre des
Gladiateurs `.

Si le ballet prend quelques libertés avec la biographie de cet
illustre personnage, ce n’est que pour mieux retranscrire la
dramaturgie du conflit mêlé de rivalité qui oppose deux couples,
Spartacus et sa femme Phrygie d’une part ; Crassus et sa concubine
Egine d’autre part.

A la suite d’une défaite contre Crassus, Spartacus est fait
prisonnier, tandis que Phrygie est retenue captive dans le harem du
militaire romain. Se refusant à participer à des jeux de gladiateurs
au cours desquels les captifs devront se battre à mort, Spartacus mène
une rébellion et parvient à s’échapper avec quelques hommes. Peu de
temps après, il délivrera les femmes du harem de Crassus, retrouvant
ainsi Phrygie.

Ce point de l’histoire mène au plus fameux passage du spectacle : `
l’Adagio de Spartacus et Phrygie `, dont le thème musical et la
chorégraphie font partie des chefs d’`uvre des ballets russes
contemporains !

Mais leurs retrouvailles ne seront que de courte durée : aidé par
Egine, Crassus retrouvera l’emplacement du campement des fugitifs et
mènera une bataille au cours de laquelle Spartacus trouvera la mort.
Le ballet se conclut sur les lamentations de Phrygie, privée à tout
jamais de son compagnon.
