A rally was held in front of Turkey’s Embassy in Tel Aviv April 22.

Demonstrators protested against Turkish Prime Minister accusing Israel
of Palestinians’ mass murder.

"Jewish activists emphasized that Ankara has no right to charge Israel
with Palestinians’ massacres, Turkey being the perpetrator of 1915
Genocide," Hai Tad representative in Jerusalem, Georgette Avakian
told PanARMENIAN.Net

Erdogan stormed off stage at the 2009 World Economic Forum in the
Swiss resort of Davos during a heated discussion over Israel’s 23-day
assault on the Gaza Strip.

Turkish Prime Minister accused Israeli President Shimon Peres of mass
murder of Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead.

YEREVAN, APRIL 22, ARMENPRESS: The Armenian National Committee of
America (ANCA), along with members of the Armenian community in the
US, will hold a 24-hour long rally April 23 in front of the White
House demanding the recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the US
President Barack Obama. ANCA Press Secretary Elizabeth Chouldjian
told Armenpress that during the rally the participants will read
the telegrams of the US Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Henry
Morgenthau and many other ambassadors, which prove that the Ottoman
Empire did commit genocide against the Armenians. Rally entitled ‘We
will Always Remember’ will be organized April 24 in Washington, D.C.,
in front of the Turkish Embassy. Commemoration ceremony will be held
the same day in front of the cross-stone erected in the territory of
the Armenian Embassy. Elizabeth Chouldjian informed that a number of
commemoration ceremonies will be held in California and many other
states and cities of the US. She added that protest rallies will be
organized in all the cities, where Turkish consulates exist.

AZERBAIJAN PRAISES TURKISH MEDIATION IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

Azeribaijan’s foreign minister on Monday praised Turkish mediation
in efforts to settle the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict. "It is very
important. It is too early to speak of whether there will be any
progress, but it is important for us that, with Turkish participation,
we are stepping up negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict,"
Elmar Mammadyarov told a joint briefing with his Turkish counterpart,
Ahmet Davutoglu.

Mammadyarov added that the American and Russian co-chairmen of the
Minsk Group, part of the Organization for Security and Co-operation
in Europe that is mediating in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, are
due in Baku on Tuesday.

Davutoglu, who earlier met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev,
said he had briefed the Azerbaijani leader on the results of talks
in Washington last week between Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan and Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.

Mammadyarov and Davutoglu also discussed the Iranian nuclear program
issue.

RESEARCH FROM A. CHILINGARIAN ET AL BROADENS UNDERSTANDING OF SPACE RESEARCH

"To improve the physical understanding of the Forbush decreases (FD)
and to explore the Space Weather drivers, we need to measure as much
geospace parameter as possible, including the changing fluxes of
secondary cosmic rays. At the Aragats Space Environmental Center
(ASEC) are routinely measured the neutral and charged fluxes of
secondary cosmic rays," researchers in Yerevan, Armenia report.

"Each of species has different most probable energy of primary
"parent" proton/nuclei. Therefore, the energy range of the Galactic
Cosmic Rays (GCR) affected by Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection
(ICME) can be effectively estimated using data of the ASEC monitors.

We presented relations of the magnitude of FD observed in different
secondary particle fluxes to the most probable energy of the primary
protons. We investigate the correlations between the magnitude of
FD with the size, speed, density and magnetic field of the ICME,"
wrote A. Chilingarian and colleagues.

The researchers concluded: "We demonstrate that the attenuation of
the GCR flux incident on the Earth’s atmosphere due to passing of the
ICME is dependent on the speed and size of the ICME and the magnetic
field strength."

Chilingarian and colleagues published their study in Advances in Space
Research (On the relation of the Forbush decreases detected by ASEC
monitors during the 23rd solar activity cycle with ICME parameters.

President Serzh Sargsyan today attended the opening ceremony of a
new thermal power plant in Yerevan with combined steam-gas cycle.

The President toured the station and familiarized with the technical
cycles of energy production.

Construction of the power station began in July, 2008. It’s been built
through the assistance of the 247 million USD loan provided by the
Japanese Bank of International Cooperation. The construction works
were conducted by specialized companies from Japan and South Korea.

Operation of the new thermo power station will allow to increase
capacities and reliability of the Armenian energy system and
decrease energy loses. The station will be producing considerably
less emissions.

WASHINGTON SOLACING BAKU: US DOES NOT RECOGNIZE NKR INDEPENDENCE

The United States has never been biased over the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue, Deputy Press Secretary of US State Department Mark Toner said
in an interview with the Azerbaijani service of Voice of America
radio station.

It comes after heavily-worded statements from by Azerbaijani officials
– among them also President Ilham Aliyev – accusing the US of "siding
with Armenia over the Karabakh issue."

"The United States does support the Minsk Group’s efforts seeking a
solution to the Karabakh issue," said Toner, adding that "there is
no cold in US-Azerbaijani relations."

He also mentioned that as a Minsk Group co-chair state the United
States is working towards finding a solution for reconciliation and
establishment of peace between the two countries.

The American diplomat also said that Washington does not recognize
the independence of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh.

TURKISH PM: ARMENIA MUST SHOW SINCERITY IN NORMALIZATION OF TIES

Armenia must demonstrate its sincerity in the process of normalizing
relations with Turkey, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
said at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party, CNN
Turk reported.

"At a meeting with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, I openly stated
Turkey’s position in the process of normalizing relations with Armenia
and the ratification of the Armenia-Turkish protocols. At the same
time, we want to see a sincere attitude from Armenia," Erdogan said,
referring to the last meeting with Sargsyan in Washington.

Turkey is not a country that will "run away from negotiation table,"
he said.

"We do not avoid negotiations. On the contrary, we can hold them
simultaneously with Arab countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Balkan
countries. Everything is done to establish stability and peace in the
region. Turkey strives for peace in the Middle East and is ready to
normalize relations with Armenia," Erdogan said.

Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 10.

Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey have been broken due
to Armenia’s claims of an alleged genocide, and its occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. The border between them has been broken since 1993.

According to Erdogan, during his meeting with U.S. President Barack
Obama in Washington last week, he took the opportunity to express
Turkey’s position on normalizing relations with Yerevan, as well as
the country’s dissatisfaction with the adoption of a resolution on
the so-called "Armenian Genocide" by the U.S. Congress Committee on
Foreign Relations.

Erdogan said Turkey’s position in the normalization of relations with
Armenia is clear, and Ankara will take further steps on this basis.

"The reason for closing our borders in 1993 was the occupation of
Azerbaijani lands. As long as the occupation persists, we will not
open our borders," Erdogan said Sunday to the Turkish ATV channel.

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 United
States – 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 region and the
occupied territories.
