Politics – Wednesday, 19 March 2014, 17:52

Radio Liberty reported a study by Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute on sale of weapons all over the world. According to
this study, in 2009-2012 the share of Azerbaijan in imports of weapons
to Europe was 12%, preceded by the United Kingdom only. Compared with
the previous four years, in 2009-2013 Azerbaijan imported four times
more conventional weapons, rising from the 49th to the 19th place.

80% of arms bought by Azerbaijan in the last four years was from
Russia, including to S300 systems and other heavy armored cars. From
Belarus Azerbaijan bought 25 SU25 military planes and 93 T72M1 tanks.

Israel supplied UAVs. In 2011, Azerbaijan signed a contract with
Israeli companies to buy radars, air defense systems and maritime
security systems.

Altogether, in 2009-2013 Azerbaijan bought 187 tanks, 32 helicopters,
27 planes, 2 S300 systems, about 100 armored cars.

According to the study, in 2009-2019 international trade in arms
increased by 14%.

The biggest suppliers are the United States, Russia, Germany, China
and France. They supply 74% of weapons. 56% of weapons exported all
over the world is produced by the United States and Russia.

In 2009-2013 China cut imports. In 2004-2008 China was the biggest
importer of weapons, holding 11% of imports. In 2009-2013 China with a
share of 5% is the second after India.

India now imports 14% of weapons and has doubled imports compared with
the previous period.

Summing up the 2014 European Chess Championship in Yerevan

Summing up the 2014 European Chess Championship in Yerevan

By Elina Kazaryan and David Kerans

YEREVAN (VR)– The 2014 European Individual Chess Championship that
concluded Friday in Yerevan was a blockbuster, not just for the
hundreds of titled players who filled out the field, but for the
brilliant performance of surprise winner Alexander Motylev, whom we
featured in an in-depth interview on Monday.

0Radio VR’s Elina Kazaryan was on the scene at the closing ceremonies
to gather thoughts from Chief Arbiter Ashok Vardapetyan, who is also
Vice-President of the Armenian Chess Federation.

0Kazaryan: I know you followed the tournament avidly, and could
discuss how it played out at great length, but how would you summarize
the European Championship?

0Vardapetyan: It seems to me that many of the players had concrete
sporting assignments here {as in, to finish in the top 23 and
guarantee themselves a spot in the 2015 World Cup}. Some completed
their assignments, others did not. But the chief result of the
tournament boils down to the fact that Motylev rose above them all.
His victory was fully warranted. He did very well early {Motylev
reeled of five wins after an opening round draw with the black
pieces}, spent the rest of the tournament among the leaders, and won
the championship outright. I want to congratulate Motylev, and to ask,
half-jokingly, that if the Russian national team has a trainer who
wins the European Championship {Motylev is currently the number two
trainer of the Russian national team}, how extraordinary must the
national team be?

0Kazaryan: How would you characterize the play of the Armenian contestants here?

0Vardapetyan: In general the Armenian players in the EICC did not
badly. Three of them finished in the top twenty-three {Hrant
Melkumyan, Gabriel Sarkissian, and 20 year-old Samvel Ter-Sahakyan},
and thus qualified for the World Cup. Armenia has not had many players
qualifying for recent editions of the World Cup, so that is a success.
Many Armenian junior players did well, but of course the fact that the
Yerevan hosted the Championship allowed more of our young players than
usual to compete. As to the fact that none of the top Armenian players
made it to the podium, that might be because they were a bit short on
combativeness, or weren’t blessed with the best of luck. I would say
again that the Armenian players did not do badly here.

0Kazaryan: If you were to choose one game as the most striking, does
one or another come immediately to mind?

0Vardapetyan toting up the final results Photo

0Vardapetyan: As Chief Arbiter I keep an eye on all the games, but I
am watching to make sure all rules are observed, not so much on the
moves in the games. I won’t select any game myself, but on websites
covering the Championship I noticed particular interest in one of (GM
Baadur) Jobava’s games. There were several Queens on the board, and
the game {Dubov-Jobava} ended in style.

0Kazaryan: And what do you make of Jobava’s fate here, what happened?
{the sixth-highest rated contestant at the EICC, and coming off a
victory in the Bronstein Memorial in Minsk, Jobava crashed to a 52nd
place finish in Yerevan}

0Vardapetyan: He started pretty well, and had a chance to finish very
high. {he was in the top 10 at the halfway point} He fell off late,
but I think he need not despair, because next February at the European
Championship in Jerusalem he’ll have another chance by finishing in
the top 23 there to secure a spot in the 2015 World Cup. He’s a strong
enough player to do better than he did here and to qualify for the
World Cup.

Russell to Speak on ‘An Armenian Eccentric: The Life and Times of Ka

Russell to Speak on ‘An Armenian Eccentric: The Life and Times of Kara Darvish’

By Contributor // March 21, 2014

Dr. James R. Russell, Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies at
Harvard University, will present a lecture entitled “An Armenian
Eccentric: The Life and Times of Kara Darvish,” on Thursday, April 3,
2014, at 7:30 p.m. at the National Association for Armenian Studies
and Research (NAASR), 395 Concord Avenue, Belmont, Mass.

Russell

Kara Darvish (Hakob Genjian) was an Armenian Futurist poet who lived
and worked mainly in Tiflis, Georgia, before and after World War I.
He wrote several novels and manifestoes, but is best known for the
“postcard” poems he distributed at cafés and outside cinemas which
proclaim his cosmopolitan and revolutionary credo and experiment with
odd typefaces and experiment with incantatory nonsense words in
Armenian, dipping also into the Armenian mythological past. (His
Russian Futurist colleagues named this technique zaum’, i.e.,
transrational language.) Among his friends and associates were the
poets Osip Mandelstam and Yeghishe Charents. Kostan Zarian evokes the
poet and his turbulent surroundings in the novel Nave Leran Vra (The
Ship upon the Mountain).

NAASR is especially pleased to present this lecture as its Edward and
Helen Mardigian Library holds several rare titles by Kara Darvish,
which it has made available to Prof. Russell during his research.

James R. Russell has been the Mashtots Professor of Armenian Studies
at Harvard University since 1992. His books include Bosphorus Nights:
The Complete Lyric Poems of Bedros Tourian, Armenian and Iranian
Studies, The Book of Flowers, An Armenian Epic: The Heroes of Kasht,
Zoroastrianism in Armenia, and Hovhannes Tlkurantsi and the Medieval
Armenian Lyric Tradition.

Russia says OSCE mission has no Crimea mandate

March 22, 2014 | 12:49

The OSCE mission will not have a mandate to work in Crimea and
Sevastopol, Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

On Friday the Permanent Council of the OSCE decided to deploy a
Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine. OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and
Swiss Foreign Minister, Didier Burkhalter said Consensus on the
mandate could be reached due to the readiness of all participating
states to continue dialogue and search for compromise even under
difficult circumstances.

However, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the mandate reflects new
political realities and “will not work in Crimea and Sevastopol that
have become a part of Russia”, RIA Novosti reported.

The decision provides for deployment of 100 international observers in
Kyiv and nine other cities in the east and south of Ukraine, Russian
Foreign Ministry said.

BAKU: Ukraine Situation Shows Once And For All Why Nagorno-Karabakh

UKRAINE SITUATION SHOWS ONCE AND FOR ALL WHY NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT HAS TO BE RESOLVED

Trend, Azerbaijan
March 18 2014

Baku, Azerbaijan, March 18

By Sabina Ahmadova – Trend:

The situation in Ukraine shows once and for all why the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has to be resolved, the U.S. Ambassador to
Azerbaijan Richard Morningstar told journalists March 18 at an event
held at the U.S. Embassy.

“First of all I would refer to the statements that President Obama
and Secretary Kerry have made with respect to the situation in Ukraine
and Crimea,” Morningstar said.

The ambassador said that what happened in Ukraine was a very bad
thing and appropriate actions need to be taken.

“I would add that what happened in Ukraine, to me makes even more
important other relations between Azerbaijan and United States,
and Azerbaijan and European Union,” Morningstar said. “I think that
it shows once and for all why the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has to
be resolved”.

The United States does not recognize the results of the referendum
held in the Crimea, as it considers the referendum illegal and has
warned Russia that the country would have to be held accountable for
its actions in Ukraine and face international sanctions.

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 seven 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 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.

“It is important that presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia come up
with steps to lead to a resolution and to remove Nagorno-Karabakh as
an unstable situation in this region. It is not helpful for anybody
that this conflict goes on,” the ambassador added.

The vast majority of residents of Crimea – 96 percent – voted to
secede from Ukraine and join Russia, in a referendum held March 16.

Most countries refused to recognize the referendum’s results.

A change of power took place in Ukraine on Feb.22.

The Verkhovna Rada (parliament) of Ukraine ousted President Viktor
Yanukovych from the power, changed the constitution and scheduled
presidential elections for May 25.

Yanukovych said he was forced to leave Ukraine under the threat of
violence, and he remains the legally elected head of state.

A number of provinces in eastern and southern Ukraine, as well as the
Crimea did not recognize the legitimacy of the Rada and decided on
possibility of holding a referendum on the future fate of the regions.

Actual And Literal Islamic Human Slaughterhouses For Christians Disc

ACTUAL AND LITERAL ISLAMIC HUMAN SLAUGHTERHOUSES FOR CHRISTIANS DISCOVERED

Liberty News On Line
March 18 2014

EXCLUSIVE
By Walid Shoebat and Theodore Shoebat

â~@¨Saif Al-Adlubi told the story when the Egyptian butcher would
examine the row of people who were waiting their execution. Al-Adlubi
witnessed at least two Armenians who were waiting their turn to be
slaughtered since no one paid their ransom, the sum of $100,000 each.

“He grabbed the neck of one elderly Armenian Christian”, says
Al-Adlubi, which the Egyptian butcher was about to slaughter. The
Egyptian butcher felt the neck of the Christian Armenian saying “you’re
an aged man and your neck is soft and I don’t have to sharpen my knife
for you”. Others might be more difficult depending on their physique.

Saif Al-Adlubi tells of his miraculous escape to the Turkish village
of Rehaniyeh from Syria. He was probably one of the few survivors who
sounded the alarm on one of the gruesome systematic human extermination
centers carried out by the Takfiri Jihadist group ISIS.

Rescue Christians translated an interview with Al-Adlubi:

(Also see references [here] and from Al-Jazeera [here] and others
[here])

The prison centers where the ISIS (Da’ish) controls have become
miniatures of what was during the Nazi SS extermination camps, except
the ISIS carries out the extermination in a much more horrific way.

Da’ish transforms the prisons into kangaroo courts with systematic
slaughterhouses and killing centers to exterminate Christians and
Muslims who disagree with the Takfiri ideology. Once they are found
guilty, the way they deal with the victims was as if they were cattle.

The ISIS stands for The Islamic group of Iraq and Syria. ISIS is also
known in Middle East circles as Da’ish. Rescue Christians obtained
footage of another slaughterhouse from one Syrian Christian named
Kamil Toume to confirm the claims.

It all adds up. Toume confirmed what was told by Al-Adlubi and he
provided some leaked footage to prove it:

This is the Siba’ District Human Slaughterhouse in Homs, Syria.

Rescue Christians aided Toume’s plight to escape the fate of his
father and sister after they were ritually sacrificed and cremated
by Al-Nusra Islamist rebels in Duwair near Homs.

We also work in order to rescue Christians from this horror in Syria.

Please donate to save the lives of Christians in Iraq and Syria from
this unbearable brutality and evil. When you donate, you save a life
and fight evil.

“You never heard of Umm Muhammad slaughterhouse?” Kamil told us when
we asked him to comment on the story of Saif Al-Adlubi.

“What do you mean by Umm Muhammad Slaughterhouse”? We asked in
unbelief.

The footage is from two separate slaughterhouses, one in Bayyada and
the other is even 3 years old in Al-Siba’.

Slaughterhouses has been going on for 3 years in Syria.

Al-Adlubi is Muslim fundamentalist who joined the FSA (Free Syrian
Army) and was a militant and a media agent for the FSA. He was captured
by Da’ish and tells his horrific tale explaining how he has never
experienced or seen such horror under the Assad Regime. He was one
of few that made it out when the Syrian militia finally defeated the
Da’ish rebels in that specific prison center.

“How could I be considered Kafir (heathen) if I pray and fast?” he
asked the prison official as he tells his story to several Arabic
news agencies.

“you are “murtad” [apostate]” answered the official.

“I asked him, what is my destiny. I want to get a closure. What is it,
a year two years in prison?”

“He said in Arabic “Abshir Bithabih”, in English, “Rejoice, you will
be sacrificed”.

According to Dai’sh Islamic theology, he would be sacrificed as a
martyr by being slaughtered for his sin. This is not the same fate
for Christians who in their view will end up in eternal hellfire.

Before he was freed, Al-Adlubi saw the bodies of young men who were
systematically slaughtered and disemboweled.

“The slaughterhouse was on a hill. It is secluded and is void of any
homes nearby” says Al-Adlubi. “I witnessed lifeless bodies hanging
upside down as if they were slaughtered sheep,” he added.

“In the center of the slaughterhouse is a huge Egyptian about two
meters high. He was the one doing the slaughtering”

The Egyptian butcher examines the row of the young and old men who
were about to be slaughtered: Armenian Christians, Syrian Christians,
Shiites and even Sunnis. Each had to be physically examined. They
are decapitated from the root of their necks, their chest cavities
are opened and disemboweled and hung upside down. The neck of the
aged Christian Armenian man was a simple one.

The stories told by Al-Adlubi and Toume adds up. Toume sent us
some footage that circulated the Syrian community after the human
slaughterhouse finally ended, and the ugly remaining evidence was
revealed when Umm Muhammad’s slaughterhouse in the Siba’ district in
Homs was busted by Syrian police 3 years ago in August 2011. This
was during the infancy of the revolution in Syria. Umm Muhammad’s
slaughterhouse was not operated by Da’ish but by the FSA (Free Syrian
Army) during its infancy. The slaughterhouses were in progress for
years and only the future will show the extent of such operations. We
have also reported in the past how a rare disease (Kuru) that infected
Syrians which can only be contracted as a result of cannibalism.

Umm Muhammad was a Sunni woman in charge of dismembering human bodies.

In the footage, it can be seen with human bodies being chopped up
exactly as is done in a cattle slaughterhouse. What is striking is the
way of the superior care in the chipping of the body parts without
having clear traces of torture, which indicates that the potential
target was to pile the body parts for an unknown reason. The table
is the type used in a morgue or in Forensic Medicine.

Al-Adlubi’s story also checks out from footage obtained from
Al-Bayyada, another slaughterhouse, which Rescue Christians was
able to obtain footage from. And just as Al-Adlubi stated, they were
hanging upside down, headless, like slaughtered sheep. The heads were
removed from the root of the chest cavity just as Al-Adlubi stated when
describing how the Egyptian was doing his meticulous methods and how
Toume described the Umm-Muhammad slaughterhouse in Al-Siba’ district.

This is the Al-Bayada Human Slaughterhouse

Saif Al-Adlubi’s nightmare was over when Syrian civilian militia
finally swarmed into the Da’ish prison in Edbana.

We report this story because of the silence on the systematic killing
of Christians, Shiite minorities and even Sunni Muslims in Syria who
disagree with the Takfirist theology. The story is reminiscent to the
initial reporting on the extermination of European Jewry and other
minorities when little coverage was given to the truth in these days.

We predict that history will repeat itself in the case of Christians
in Syria and Iraq. When Dr. Gerhart Riegner, the representative of
the World Jewish Congress in Geneva, Switzerland, learned what was
going on from a German source. Riegner asked American diplomats in
Switzerland to inform Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, one of America’s most
prominent Jewish leaders, of the systematic killing centers. But the
State Department, characteristically insensitive and influenced by
anti-Semitism, decided not to inform Wise.

The rabbi nevertheless learned of Riegner’s terrible message from
Jewish leaders in Great Britain. He immediately approached Under
Secretary of State Sumner Welles, who asked Wise to keep the
information confidential until the government had time to verify it.

Wise agreed and it was not until November 1942 that Welles authorized
the release of Riegner’s message.

Wise held a press conference on the evening of November 24, 1942. The
next day’s New York Times reported his news on its tenth page.

Throughout the rest of the war, the Times and most other newspapers
failed to give prominent and extensive coverage to the Holocaust.

In the case for Syria, history is repeating itself. Rescue Christians
will do a press release for media interviews to speak to Mr. Toume
and the plight of Syrian Christians and how his family were murdered
by rebel forces in Syria.

The cruelty expressed by the Muslims in the Syrian slaughterhouses
is reminiscent to the violence perpetuated by the Ottoman Turks.

For example, the Egyptian executioner who told the elderly Armenian man
that his neck was soft and easy to cut parallels the hatred which the
Ottoman Muslims expressed toward the Armenians. Today we have actual
footage on how the extermination of the Armenians was carried out.

A German, who was present in the Armenian Genocide, was running an
orphanage in the area of Moush where the Turks were conducting their
massacres. When he asked a Turkish officer in charge if the Armenian
children of the orphanage would be given guaranteed safe passage,
the Turk replied:

You can take them with you, but being Armenians their heads may and
will be cut off on the way. (1)

In the slaughterhouses in Syria, there are countless corpses, all
severely mutilated and cut into parts. This is exactly what the Turks
did to Christians in their infamous Genocide.

Turkish peasants seized entire multitudes of Armenians and cut their
bodies into pieces while they were still alive. A letter written
by an anonymous source recounts how Turkish farmers cut to pieces a
large body of Armenian men with their farming tools:

In the valley of Beyhan Boghazi, six or seven hours’ distance from the
town, they were attacked by a wild horde of Turkish peasants, and, in
pursuance of the order, were all massacred with clubs, hammers, axes,
scythes, spades, saws — in a word, with every implement that causes
a slow and painful death. Some shore off their heads, ears, noses,
hands, feet with scythes; others put out their eyes. …The bodies
of the victims were left in pieces in the valley, to be devoured by
the wild beasts. (2)

William Willard Howard, an eye-witness to the Armenian Genocide,
actually described how the Turks mutilated and cut to pieces the
bodies of Christians:

…the soles of his feet are held before an open fire until the flesh
drops off. After that his tongue may be pulled out, or red hot irons
thrust into his eyes. If he is not dead by this time he is hacked to
pieces with knives. (3)

Samuel Gridley Howe, an American who helped the Greek Christians
revolt against the Turkish occupation in the 19th century, described
the massacre of the Greek Christians by the Turks as a literal
slaughterhouse, with severed body parts and decapitated heads being
found without number. He described one massacre of a Greek town
as such:

[T]he Turkish troops gathered round the town, rushed in among the
defenseless inhabitants, and begun to butcher all they found. …And
a few hours were sufficient for all this; a few hours of rapine and
murder had changed the beautiful town to a scene of utter devastation;
to a slaughter-house, still steaming with the blood of thousands of
all ages, and of both sexes, whose mutilated and headless bodies,
lay in every direction about the streets (4)

The slaughterhouses in Syria are really centers for ritual human
sacrifices. Rescue Christians even obtained footage to prove this
as well:

In the video, which is filmed at yet another unknown slaughterhouse,
the executioner declares this prayer before making the slaughter:

In defense of the Sunnis O Lord, O Lord, We bring these offerings to
you, O Lord. Please accept this sacrificial offering, O Lord. O Lord,
accept this from us, accept this from us. In the name of Allah.

Bismillah (In the name of Allah). Allahu Akbar

The victims could be shot or slaughtered, but one thing is true,
these are ritualistic killings.

This can be deduced by paralleling the slaughterhouses in Syria to
Islamic ideology in regards to shedding Christian blood, which can be
observed in historical accounts. For example, Howe, an eyewitness to
Turkish violence, recounted that the Muslim Turks “thought the blood
of a Christian an acceptable offering to God.” (5)

Now, in conjunction with this statement, here is an account of John
Eshoo, an Assyrian reverend who survived the Assyrian Genocide under
the Turks, in which he refers to the carnage as a literal slaughter
house and describes how the Muslims butchered the Christians in the
same fashion as the system of animal sacrifice during the Islamic
fasts:

The fearful place became literally a human slaughter house, receiving
its speechless victims, in groups of ten and twenty at a time, for
execution. … These helpless Assyrians marched like lambs to their
slaughter, and they opened not their mouth, save by sayings “Lord,
into thy hands we commit our spirits. The executioners began by cutting
first the fingers of their victims, join by joint, till the two hands
were entirely amputated. Then they were stretched on the ground, after
the manner of the animals that are slain in the Fast, but these with
their faces turned upward, and their heads resting upon the stones
or blocks of wood Then their throats were half cut, so as to prolong
their torture of dying, and while struggling in the agony of death,
the victims were kicked and clubbed by heavy poles the murderers
carried Many of them, while still laboring under the pain of death,
were thrown into ditches and buried before their souls had expired. (6)

All of this sadism and cruelty was done in the fashion of an Islamic
animal sacrifice, and in the Muslim religion, it is permitted that
a human being replace the animal in the sacrificial rituals. This
theology of human sacrifice is based upon the very ancient story of
Khalid Abdullah al-Kasri, who ritually sacrificed Jaad bin Durham
in the place of an animal on the Islamic holiday of The Festival of
Sacrifice. He dragged Durham into a mosque, and before spilling his
blood, proclaimed:

O people, sacrifice, Allah accepted your sacrifices. I am now
sacrificing Jaad bin Durham.

The story is accepted as orthodox by several of the most forceful
Muslim theologians during the history of Islam like Al-Shafi’, Ibin
Tayymiya, Bukhari, Dhahabi, Ibin Al-Qiyam, Darami and Ibin Katheer.

This is the reality of Islam, it is a pagan and utterly depraved
and sadistic religion. It takes the soul of a man and purges any
remnants of human affection from his very being. Look to your own soul,
and understand your own obligation to help the Christians from this
horror. Please donate to save Christian lives in Syria.

TALYSHS WANT TO CREATE THEIR STATE IN AZERBAIJAN – EXPERT

For the first time in history, representatives of all Talysh
organizations were invited to a meeting held on the initiative of
the European Parliament, Associate Professor of the Oriental Studies
Department of Yerevan State University Vardan Voskanyan told a news
conference in Yerevan.

“It is the first time that the Talysh people announced from a high
European rostrum that they want to establish an independent state in
the southeast of Azerbaijan,” Voskanyan noted.

Over the past one year and a half, the Talyshs have been actively
cooperating with Armenian organizations and scientific-educational
institutions, according to the expert.

“The Talyshs expect Armenian and Iranian schools to cover Talysh
culture and history as well as expect lobbying from the Armenian
authorities,” Mr Voskanyan said.
