PanARMENIAN.Net – There will be no large inflow of Syrian Armenians,
orientalist Suren Manukyan said.

He dismissed Armenian community’s unexpected influx to homeland due
to the established business relations, and its prior experience to
set up ties with the Syrian authorities in crisis.

“The number of Syrian Armenians having arrived in the country doesn’t
exceed 2 thousand. Though Armenia must be ready to face it, it can’t
ensure the best conditions for them,” the expert said, stressing the
need for Armenia to once a week send a delegation to Syria to make
Armenian community representatives feel homeland’s support.

Dwelling on Syrian Armenians’ statements on getting RA citizenship,
Mr. Manukyan said they need passports to receive EU visa.

“Syria’s Armenian community mainly backs Bashar Assad’s regime as a
sign of gratitude for the privileges granted,” he said.

YEREVAN. – Armenia’s “National Association of Sinjar Yezidis” NGO
issued a statement, whereby it extended its support to the Armenian
community in Syria.

“As it is known, many of our brothers and sisters had settled in
Aleppo, having escaped the Ottoman violence, and live there. [But]
We are confident that, in this case, the Armenians living in Aleppo
must return to Motherland Armenia because their physical existence
there [in Aleppo] is already at risk.

As we see it in Armenia, they were not too prepared to receive
our Syrian-Armenian brothers and sisters on a state level. The
“National Association of Sinjar Yezidis” NGO is convinced that
all citizens of Armenia need to unite-today more than ever-so that
the Syrian-Armenian community is not left out in the open and at
least a place to shelter be provided for them. We believe that if
each of the 4,000 organizations functioning in Armenia provides one
[Syrian-Armenian] family with a ‘roof [above it head],’ the problem
will be resolved in one day.

We stand ready to support, to the extent of our capacity, our brothers
and sisters who are emigrating from Syria to Armenia. Let us hope
our assistance will be timely and appropriate,” the aforesaid NGO’s
statement reads in particular.

YEREVAN. – In line with the research conducted in Armenia in 2009, the
infertility rate constitutes 16.8 percent among the country’s women,
and 11.8 percent among the men, Maternal and Child Health Protection
Research Center’s Deputy Director of Science Karine Arustamyan said
during a press conference on Tuesday.

Incidentally, according to the World Health Organization, an
infertility rate exceeding 15 percent is considered a national
security threat.

Also, there are various causes for infertility, but the most widespread
are the combined causes of unknown origin.

In his turn, Center Director, Professor Georgy Okoyev spoke about
artificial insemination, and noted that this procedure is geared
toward curing infertility among families. In his words, the first
artificially-inseminated babies in Armenia were born in 2004, and
they were triplets.

Okoyev noted that the number of artificial inseminations is growing in
Armenia on a yearly basis, and, as case in point, this has increased
by 10 percent as compared with the year past.

The specialist also informed that one artificial insemination in
Armenia costs AMD 1.2-1.7 million (approx. US$ 2,940-$4,170), and,
if the process is unsuccessful, the money is not refunded because
expensive medications and materials are being used.

According to Georgy Okoyev, 38-39 percent of the artificial
insemination conducted in Armenia results in births while the pregnancy
rate is much higher.

be arrested and brought to the courtroom once he returns to Armenia,
according to the statement by Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe
(FAAE).

Siradeghyan if he comes back to Armenia to face the court,” Mr. of
Siradeghyan said.

The Governor Of The Region That Shares A 350km Border With Azerbaija

THE GOVERNOR OF THE REGION THAT SHARES A 350KM BORDER WITH AZERBAIJAN HAS NOT SERVED IN THE ARMY

According to the Military Service Act, citizens liable for military
service who haven’t served in the army cannot be appointed to a state
office in the Republic of Armenia. Although that act was adopted in
1998, the government has not yet approved the list of the offices,
which persons who haven’t served in the army cannot hold. Armen
Ghularyan, the governor of Tavush, who has governed the bordering
region for 13 years already didn’t serve in the Soviet army. In
Ghularyan’s official bio, there is no mention that he has participated
in the fight for freedom. The region of Tavush shares a 350km border
with Azerbaijan. The governor is obliged to coordinate the activities
of regional departments of republican executive bodies dealing, along
with other areas, with the internal affairs, national security and
defense. In December 2011, during President of the Republic of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to bordering Voskepar, the governor who hadn’t
served in the army was wearing a military uniform. By the way, the
third color of the state flag blowing at that moment was not orange,
but yellow.

Les Chretiens De Syrie, La Turquie, Et Le " D " De Democratie

Déclaration des chrétiens de Syrie

Des intellectuels assyro-chaldéens-syriaques ont publié un appel

Agos

Mercredi 25 juillet 2012 – 10:31

Des intellectuels assyriens, syriaques, chaldéens, vivant dans
différents pays (de leur diaspora) ont publié une Déclaration
a propos de ce qui se passe en Syrie. Sous le titre ” A notre
peuple et a l’opinion publique mondiale ”, ils déclarent que la
Turquie – en fournissant armes et moyens financiers, en faisant de la
désinformation a l’aide de ses moyens de propagande – est en train
de vouloir former une dictature islamique, anti-démocratique, et
que par conséquent, la domination de ses points de vue archaïques,
totalitaires, loin de la tolérance religieuse, ne fera qu’aboutir
a la fin de la présence des chrétiens dans le pays.

La Déclaration, parue sur le site “Demokrat Haber”, est la suivante :

” Dans cette période où d’importants développements ont lieu dans
notre région et surtout du fait qu’on avance vers une guerre civile
en Syrie, nous, membres du peuple assyrien, syriaque, chaldéen,
sentons le devoir de déclarer nos points de vue.

Nous ne pouvons pas penser soutenir une dictature qui nie l’existence
de notre peuple. La politique chauvine du parti Baas nous a privés
de nos droits les plus légitimes, comme ca s’est passé dans le
temps en Irak.

Néanmoins, l’opposition a la dictature Baas de la Syrie qui paraissait
démocratique dans les premiers temps, s’est transformée – en grande
partie grâce aux soutiens très importants venant de l’étranger –
en une organisation de tendance islamiste. Les régimes du Qatar
et d’Arabie Saoudite qui ne connaissent même pas le ” D ” de
Démocratie, et la Turquie qui nie l’existence de notre peuple, sont
en train de construire une dictature islamiste, non démocratique,
par la voix de leur propagande qui fait de la désinformation et avec
des soutiens financiers ou des fournitures d’armes. Les différents
points de vue fascistes, totalitaires, archaïques, éloignés de la
tolérance religieuse – tels ceux d’Al-Qaïda, des Frères musulmans,
des Salafistes – entraîneront la mort de notre peuple.

Malgré nos différences de points de vue entre nous, nous pensons que
nous devons former une force indépendante et unie pour nos peuples,
les Syriaques, Assyriens, Chaldéens. La formation d’un pouvoir en
Syrie, composée d’islamistes, de Salafistes, de Frères musulmans,
et de membres d’Al-Qaïda, sera une catastrophe pour notre peuple et
pour tous les chrétiens du Moyen-Orient. Notre peuple, dans sa longue
et tragique Histoire, a subi différents massacres et génocides
aux cris de “Allah Akbar et Mohamed Salavat” (” Dieu est grand et
prions pour Mohamed ”). Nous nous rappelons très bien du dernier
des grands génocides “1915 Seyfo” (1915 épée).

C’est pourquoi, nous devons construire l’unité de notre peuple et
former une plus large union avec tous les chrétiens vivant dans la
région pour se préparer a la catastrophe qui va nous arriver. C’est
un devoir historique pour nos partis politiques et organisations de
prendre les initiatives nécessaires pour former cette union.

Dans ce contexteã~@~@:

– En tant que peuple chrétien, peuple le plus ancien du Moyen-0rient,
ayant déja plusieurs fois vécu ce genre de catastrophes
inquiétantes, nous ne pouvons soutenir des slogans tels que “Allah
Akbar”, “Appel au Djihad”, “Mort aux Infidèles”, annonciateurs de
catastrophes a l’instar de celles qui se sont déroulées a Idlip,
Homs et Der-El-Zor.

– Nous voulons faire connaître notre voix en particulier contre les
efforts de la Turquie, de l’Arabie Saoudite et du Qatar qui utilisent
leurs moyens médiatiques pour faire de la désinformation a sens
unique afin d’apporter au pouvoir un front archaïque et islamiste
radical, et d’essayer de présenter au monde entier ce front comme
démocratique.

– Nous refusons en particulier des politiques venant de l’extérieur
qui veulent faire couler le sang de la région, qui souhaitent une
occupation militaire, et la formation d’une zone tampon.

– Afin de faire cesser de couler le sang de nos frères et d’éviter
la propagation d’une terrible guerre dans notre région, nous soutenons
une solution pacifique dans le cadre du plan Annan.

– Nous sommes en faveur d’un pouvoir démocratique, laïc, pluriel,
civil et respectueux des droits légitimes de notre peuple en Syrie.

Syrian Consul In Armenia Joins Opposition

SYRIAN CONSUL IN ARMENIA JOINS OPPOSITION

Vestnik Kavkaza
July 30 2012
Russia

The Syrian consul in Armenia, Muhammad Hosan, has joined the opposition
and left the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Armenia Today
reports.

The consul was inspired by the example of Syrian diplomats in Belarus,
Cyprus, UAE and Iraq.

The Armenian Foreign Ministry has not received a note from the Syrian
consulate yet, the press secretary of the ministry Tigran Balayan said.

Armenian Historian Glad Turkey Failed Protocol Ratification On Norma

ARMENIAN HISTORIAN GLAD TURKEY FAILED PROTOCOL RATIFICATION ON NORMALIZING RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA

NEWS.AM
July 30, 2012 | 21:13

YEREVAN. – The Zurich protocols on normalizing Armenian-Turkish
relations were not beneficial for the Armenian side from the very
beginning, expert Ashot Melkonyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting
on the Turkish President’s press secretary Ahmet Sever’s statement
in the Vatan newspaper.

Within the context of the President Abdullah Gul’s possible running
for the highest office for the second term, the press secretary said
that the major disappointment for Gul were the unsettled Kurdish and
Armenian issues.

“The Turkish side immediately following the signing of the
protocols stated that they refer also to the third side, hinting the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Such an interpretation was beneficial for
Turkey, as it links the normalization process with the withdrawal
of the Armenian troops from the alleged ‘occupied’ – but for me
liberated – territories of Nagorno-Karabakh. As such a disposition
met the rough resistance of the Armenian communities and Diaspora, the
process appeared in a deadlock. I am only glad for it, as the protocols
intended to confirm the current de-facto borders between Armenia and
Turkey via Araks and Akhuryan rivers, which is inadmissible for me,
as a historian,” Melkonyan stated.

To note, the protocols on normalizing relations between Armenia and
Turkey were signed in Oct. 10 in Zurich. However, the ratification
process in both parliaments was suspended due to the nonconstructive
position of Turkey, which set pre-conditions after signing protocols.
