RETOUR SUR LE RAPPORT DE LA DCRI
Stephane

armenews.com
mardi 3 avril 2012

Le site internet a
fait paraître un article sur le rapport de la DCRI consacree aux
associations ultranationalistes turques en France.

Le site rappelle qu’un ” residant americain inconnu a poste un PDF de
d’un rapport des services secrets sur un site web francais de partage
de fichier, Calameo, le 16 mars 2012. Puis le PDF a ete poste sur
la page Facebook d’un site web nationaliste turc, la Radio MIT. Puis
finalement, l’information a ete diffuse aux journaux “.

Revenant sur l’article de Zaman Today le site internet resume les
activites de Maxime Gauin, stagiaire a l’Organisation International
de Recherche Strategique (USAK) et celle d’administrateur secret d’un
site negationniste du genocide des Armeniens (). Le
site rappelle egalement le procès intente par Maxime Gauin a l’encontre
de Movses Nissanian indiquant que ce dernier ” n’a recu aucun appui
des associations Turques de Lyon ” pour ses depenses.

Le site internet pose alors deux questions ” si, il est confirme que
gauin est un agent des services secrets cela soulève deux questions
clefs :

les services secrets francais ont-ils directement ou indirectement
finance presque deux annees la longue poursuite judiciaire contre
Movsès Nissanian ?

Est-ce que le cursus de doctorat de Gauin a l’Universite technique du
Moyen-Orient (METU/ODTU ) fait parti de l’operation de renseignements
? ”

Parliamentary candidate Hakob Hakobyan (Choyt) told Hraparak that
he had met with OSCE/ODIHR observers on Monday. Hakobyan had told
the observers that General Seyran Saroyan intimidates voters at
constituency No.19. Hakobyan told the paper that he had evidence that
Saroyan had been away for at least 2 years and 7 months in the past
five years. Hakobyan has appealed against Saroyan’s registration as
a parliamentary candidate to the Administrative Court.

“I am going to appeal to the Constitutional Court, and if my appeal
is rejected in Armenia, I will appeal to the European Court,”
said Hakobyan.

L’Arménie avant le génocide

ROBERT GUERET

Sortiesdes terroirsC’est un fascinant témoignage que nous livrent, sur
les pas d’un scientifique, deux universitaires. Voici l’Arménie russe,
juste avant le génocide arménien. Un document qui trouve toute son
actualité.

Pierre Bonnet était l’un des pères de la science géologique en
Arménie. Il étudia au début du XXe siècle la géologie du Caucase du
sud. Ses recherches ont impacté durablement l’évolution des sciences
sur cette parcelle du monde.

C’est-ce qu’expliquent Françoise Ardillier-Carras, professeur de
géographie à l’Université d’Orléans, et Olivier Balabanian, professeur
honoraire de géographie de l’Université de Limoges. Ils signent
ensemble Arménie russe, aventures scientifiques à l’époque des tsars,
1909-1914, juste avant donc la Première guerre mondiale et la
révolution bolchevique. À la veille surtout du terrible génocide qui,
en 1915, provoqua la mort de 1.500.000 personnes. L’événement est
revenu au coeur de l’actualité récente.

Les deux universitaires nous embarquent sur les pas de Pierre Bonnet
(1879-1965), scientifique, photographe et artiste, né dans la région
parisienne. Il a participé à cinq grandes expéditions en compagnie de
son épouse, Nadedja, une Arménienne. Pierre Bonnet a laissé des
carnets de voyage, des photographies, des croquis, des dessins
aquarellés qui nous entraînent dans des paysages de montagne, dans
l’intimité de populations méconnues. Ce livre, abondamment illustré
(plus de 170 documents), restitue un passé disparu à grand renfort
d’informations inédites. Pierre Bonnet s’est intéressé à la géologie
mais aussi à l’histoire, à l’ethnographie ainsi qu’aux ressources
naturelles. Ses travaux, abrégés par les conflits, n’en connurent pas
moins un grand succès. Ils lui valurent les sollicitations de
l’Académie des sciences de Russie. En 1925, il soutint un Mémoire :
Étude stratigraphique et tectonique de la Transcaucasie méridionale.
Les auteurs de l’album proposent une approche d’une Arménie secrète,
celle de villages perdus ou disparus. Leur itinéraire va à la
rencontre d’un peuple hospitalier dont il ravive la mémoire. Ils se
sont embarqués sur les pas de Pierre Bonnet, avec un siècle de recul.
Mais la guerre arméno-azérie et le blocus de frontières rendent
impossible le parcours du savant dans sa globalité.

Armenian sniper wounds Azeri farmer – Azerbaijan TV

BAKU. March 31

An Armenian sniper wounded a resident of the village of Alibeili near
the frontline on Friday, Azerbaijan’s ANS television has reported.

Farmer Vyusal Guliyev was wounded by a sniper shot when he was working
in the field. He was rushed to a hospital, where surgeons removed a
bullet from his hip. The wounded farmer’s condition is serious but
stable, the ANS television station said.

sends monitoring missions to the frontline, assisted by an OSCE envoy,
to see if the ceasefire agreement is being observed.

Number of Eligible Voters Increased While Armenia’s Population Dwindling

Friday, March 30th, 2012

YEREVAN – The number of eligible voters officially registered in
Armenia has increased by nearly seven percent since the last national
election four years ago, according to the voter lists updated ahead of
the upcoming parliamentary polls.

The voter rolls posted on the official websites of the Armenian Police
and the Central Election Commission show that the number of people in
Armenia allowed to vote in the May 6 elections is just over 2,485,000
– an increase by more than 165,000 voters as compared to the official
figure reported before the 2008 presidential election.

Many believe that such a growth is impossible given the rate of
emigration, as well as the preliminary data of the census taken last
year, according to which Armenia’s permanent population has dwindled
by some 415,000 to around 2,870,000 over the 10-year period. They also
challenge the assumption that only less than 400,000 people in the
country are actually below Armenia’s national voting age of 18.

Meanwhile, head of the Passport and Visa Department of the Armenian
Police Hovannes Kocharian dismissed the speculation about any kind of
deliberate distortion of the electoral rolls to meet the interests of
the ruling political force or any other groups. He explained the
essential rise in the number of voters by a more meticulous
registration of citizens in Armenia in the past four years.

`A total of 359,614 voters, who weren’t on the 2008 lists, have been
added to the register by this year,’ he said.
By the time the Police in its statement published on Thursday insist
that the assumptions about the figure’s being exaggerated `do not
correspond to reality,’ information to the contrary had been posted on
Facebook.

Edgar Tamaryan, 25, a Facebook user, found his relatives – who in fact
live in Georgia – included on the voter registration list as living in
Yerevan.
Further, more than 100 people were `registered’ as living at that same address.

Opposition groups have cast doubts over the veracity of the electoral
rolls presented by the authorities. They again accuse the government
of trying to rig the vote by inflating the official number of
registered voters.

Expert: Iran to respond toughly to Azerbaijan’s anti-Islamic policy

March 31, 2012 – 13:15 AMT

PanARMENIAN.Net – Expert in Azerbaijani studies Sargis Asatryan said
Azerbaijan increasingly incites Iran against it.

Iran accused Azerbaijan of Israeli agents operating on its territory
who attempt against Iranian scientists, Asatryan told a press
conference in Yerevan mentioning that the British Times paper dubbed
Azerbaijan as `the nest of spies’.

According to the expert, arrest of alleged Iranian `terrorists’ by
Azerbaijan’s special services and rumors spread about provision of an
airport on Azerbaijan’s territory to Israel have added to the
tensions.

Besides, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s policy aimed to shut
down mosques, host Eurovision song contest and even potential
organization of a gay parade provoke strong negative response by
Iran’s clergy, Asatryan said.

Iranian officials and clergy representatives have repeatedly warned
they would provide a most tough response to this.

So, further deterioration of relations between Iran and Azerbaijan
seems quite likely, and Armenia should avail itself of this situation
to the utmost, Asatryan stated.

La reconstruction de l’Hôtel Dvin à Erevan sera finalisé d’ici à 2014
a déclaré Arman Sahakyan, chef d’un département gouvernemental en
charge des propriétés de l’Etat.

Parmi ses propriétaires figure la célèbre chanteuse pop russe Iosif
Kobzon.

Les acquéreurs avaient promis de faire des investissements majeurs
dans l’hôtel 5 étoiles. Toutefois, aucun investissement n’a été fait .
Si l’investissement promis n’est pas fait avant 2014, le gouvernement
se réserve le droit de confisquer le bien.
