EU CAN MAKE TURKEY CHANGE ITS STANCE ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: GIANNI PERRELLI

10:43, 19 March, 2015

YEREVAN, MARCH 19, ARMENPRESS. Turkey can change its position on
Armenian Genocide issue only under the pressure of Europe. The
Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Journalism Department of L’Espresso
periodical Gianni Perrelli stated this in a conversation with
“Armenpress”. This is his first visit to Armenia.

Among other things, Perrelli noted that the time of his visit to
our country ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
has not been chosen accidentally. “Majority of the Western countries
has forgotten the tragedy of the Armenians. By all means, there are
intellectuals and activists, who remember what happened, but there
is a huge difference in the level of awareness in comparison with
Holocaust,” he underscored.

In addition, Gianni Perrelli noted: “We know that the Armenian Genocide
served as a model for Hitler for the realization of the Armenian
Genocide, but many people have forgotten about that. Armenia is small
country and the Armenians need strong lobbying around the world.”

Perrelli’s visit to our country mainly aims writing an article based
on the meetings with the eyewitness-survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

Armenia’s Growing Relationship With Iran Could Affect Israel

ARMENIA’S GROWING RELATIONSHIP WITH IRAN COULD AFFECT ISRAEL

CHRISTIAN NEWS

By JNS.ORG

Armenia’s budding relationship with Iran may hurt it’s longstanding
relationship with Israel.

The status of the Old City of Jerusalem and those holy places also
presents one of the thorniest issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict,
and the latest installment in this long-drawn drama involves the
Republic of Armenia and the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The Armenian leadership’s cancellation of a planned visit to Jerusalem
in February 2010 by then-prime minister Tigran Sargsyan provided
a cause for concern and puzzlement for the Israeli government that
persists to this day.

Until recently, the Armenian government had not sent a single
delegation to Israel since the cancellation of Sargsyan’s visit. In
contrast, an Armenian neighbor, the Muslim-majority Republic of
Azerbaijan, has sent a series of top-level delegations, including
cabinet ministers, parliamentarians, and Foreign Minister Elmar
Mammadyarov.

In what was reportedly a bit of damage control, on March 5, Armenian
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan arrived in Israel for what the
Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs described as a “private visit,”
promoting a decidedly anti-Turkish and anti-Azeri agenda. Nalbandyan
received a less-than-warm welcome due to the well-documented and
increasing wave of anti-Semitism in the Armenian media as well as the
prolific state-sponsored anti-Israel propaganda that makes Armenia
such a darling of Iran.

What really caused the cancellation of the visit of Armenian prime
minister Sargsyan to Israel? In mid-February 2010, Yerevan notified
Israel that Sargsyan had become ill with the flu and was unable to
travel. Other diplomatic sources in Jerusalem noted that the flu struck
the Armenian prime minister in “a strange manner after a meeting with
the advisor of Iranian President Mehdi Mostafavi.”

Nearly at the same time as the Armenian official trip, the Iranian
ambassador in Yerevan, Seyed Ali Sagayan, announced that the Islamic
Republic would act as an intermediary, promoting the normalization
process between Armenia and Turkey. This was preceded by a visit
to Tehran of then-Armenian minister of transport and communication
Manuk Vardanyan, an invitation to the defense minister of Armenia to
Iran, and the arrival in Yerevan of a head of the Iranian diplomatic
delegation.

According to information received in Jerusalem, Tehran feared that
the Israelis would try to negotiate with the head of the Armenian
government about the tacit cooperation on the Iranian issue. Although
Iran remains a major regional partner of Yerevan, no less important for
the Armenians is their position in Jerusalem at the city’s holy sites.

The Jerusalem Patriarchate of the Armenian Apostolic Church controls
many Christian shrines in the city (including a part of the Church
of the Holy Sepulchre). The Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem (where
about 2,500 people live) is the spiritual center for the influential
Armenian diaspora in the Middle East, including Lebanon, Syria, and
Iran. This quarter is even called the key to the “Armenian factor”
of Middle East politics.

For Armenians, these places are particularly sensitive because of
the long-term confrontation with the Greeks regarding control over
the Jerusalem sites. In resolving a number of conflicts between
the Armenians and Greeks, the Israeli authorities, in particular the
Ministry of Religious Affairs, plays a critical role. On such matters,
Israeli state agencies prefer to remain neutral.

But recently, representatives of the Armenian Church began to
express fears that amid the crisis with Turkey, Israel had decided to
strengthen the partnership with Greece, and by consequence the Israeli
government may prefer the Greeks in the conflict over Jerusalem’s
holy sites.

“Holy Mount Zion to the Jews actually is in the possession of the
Armenian community and the Israeli government is implementing a
systematic policy to force Armenians out. Armenia as the state did
not oppose this policy.” Step Karapetyan, stated publicly ess than
a month before the announcement of the visit of the Armenian prime
minister to Israel, one of Jerusalem’s priests. He further noted
that “in such circumstances, conflicts and collisions will occur and
further, because the problem is not only religious but also political
and geopolitical conditions.”

The Iranians reportedly feared that in exchange for some assistance in
the matter of holy places, Sarkisian would agree to tacit cooperation
on subjects of strategic importance for Tehran, but the Armenians
quickly backed down under pressure from Iran.

The Iranian regime has never ceased to support Armenia in its
megalomaniac policy of occupation of the sovereign Azeri territory.

Recently, on behalf of Armenia, a blatant attack on an Azeri senior
diplomat–Baku’s ambassador to Washington, Elin Suleymanov–was aired
by the official Islamic Republic of Iran broadcaster Radio Tabriz,
in which the Iranian broadcast accused Suleymanov of “lobbying
activities against Armenia in Washington, DC.” The Iranians used a
classical anti-Semitic ruse by calling any diplomat who has healthy
relationship with Jewish people, especially American Jewry, a “secret
agent” of Zionists.

The mullah-controlled regime in Tehran manifests a growing concern
over the invigoration of relations between Israel, Azerbaijan,
and the states of Central Asia, particularly Kazakhstan. The
Iranians fear that the Israeli strategy of containing the Islamic
Republic–which continues to stall the P5+1 negotiations over Iran’s
nuclear program–is gaining momentum, while Armenia is still suffering
from the Iranian flu.

Serge Sarkissian Preoccupe Par Les Ventes D’armes Russes A L’Azerbai

SERGE SARKISSIAN PREOCCUPE PAR LES VENTES D’ARMES RUSSES A L’AZERBAIDJAN

Armee

Serge Sarkissian a de nouveau exprime hier ses inquietudes sur
les livraisons a grande echelle d’armes russes a l’Azerbaïdjan, en
disant qu’ils pourraient endommager les relations russo-armeniennes
traditionnellement etroites.

“Le fait que la Russie vende des armes a l’Azerbaïdjan pour diverses
raisons nous inquiète”, a declare Sarkissian lors d’un forum
international des medias tenue a Erevan.

“Le problème n’est pas la qualite des armes vendues”, a t-il dit lors
d’une seance de questions-reponses qui a suivi son discours lors du
rassemblement. “Le problème est que le jeune homme armenien deploye
sur notre frontière avec l’Azerbaïdjan ou a la ligne de contact du
Haut-Karabagh se rend compte qu’on essaie de le tuer avec des armes
russes. C’est très grave. ”

La Russie semble avoir fourni des armes plus lourdes a l’Azerbaïdjan
qu’a l’Armenie, son principal allie regional, ces dernières annees.

Ceux-ci incluent des centaines de chars, des systèmes d’artillerie et
des helicoptères de combat. Les responsables russes et azerbaïdjanais
ont estime le volume total des contrats de defense bilateraux signes
depuis 2010 a plus de 4 milliards de dollars.

Sales Of Russian Weapons To Azerbaijan Should Arouse Seller’s Concer

SALES OF RUSSIAN WEAPONS TO AZERBAIJAN SHOULD AROUSE SELLER’S CONCERN – ARMENIAN MP

YEREVAN, March 19. /ARKA/. Sales of Russian arms to Azerbaijan should
be the matter of the seller’s concern, Gagik Melikyan, head of the
faction of the ruling Republican Party of Armenia in the National
Assembly, told journalists on Thursday.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, speaking yesterday at the fifth
international media forum ‘At the Bottom of Ararat’, expressed concern
over the sales of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan.

The president was quoted by Novosti-Armenia as saying that the allied
relations between Armenia and Russia have been developing since 1992,
and military cooperation plays an important part in these relations.

Melikyan
said commenting on the president’s speech.

In his opinion, Sargsyan’s speech was unprecedented for the idea
that this fact should arouse not only Armenia’s but also the seller’s
anxiety.

Melikyan said.

Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 when Karabakh, mainly populated
by Armenians, declared its independence from Azerbaijan.

On December 10, 1991, a few days after the collapse of the Soviet
Union, a referendum took place in Nagorno-Karabakh, and the majority
of the population (99.89%) voted for secession from Azerbaijan.

Afterwards, large-scale military operations began.

As a result, Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and the
seven regions adjacent to it. Some 30,000 people were killed in this
war and about one million people fled their homes.

On May 12, 1994, the Bishkek cease-fire agreement put an end to the
military operations. Since 1992, talks brokered by OSCE Minsk Group
are being held over peaceful settlement of the conflict. The group
is co-chaired by USA, Russia and France. —0—

Iran Condemned The Armenian Genocide: Diplomatic Delicacy (Video)

IRAN CONDEMNED THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE: DIPLOMATIC DELICACY (VIDEO)

14:18 | March 19,2015 | Politics

The Islamic Republic of Iran and Patriarchate of the Great House of
Cilicia issued a joint statement condemning the Armenian Genocide.

This statement has both religious and political importance, explains
Iranian studies expert Karen Lazarian, “This statement has diplomatic
delicacy. The Islamic Republic of Iran expressed its attitude towards
the Armenian Genocide through the Patriarchate. If Iran did it through
our state, it would be politicized.”

According to the information of Iranian studies expert, there haven’t
been negative reactions from the Islamic society on this statement.

Dean of YSU Faculty of History, Professor Edik Minasyan also stresses
the importance of this statement and reminds that Iran is not only
our neighboring but also friendly country, “I stress the importance
of the role, which this country played during the first years of
independence. Once, Iran was the only way to connect to the outside
world. It has a big role in our history.”

To remind, the Islamic Republic of Iran hasn’t given an official
response whether on April 24 it will visit Armenia.

The speakers say that in all probability the delegation of Iran will
be in Armenia on April 24.

Euronest PA Co-Chair Says Armenian Genocide Resolution Important

EURONEST PA CO-CHAIR SAYS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RESOLUTION IMPORTANT

YEREVAN, March 18. / ARKA /. Euronest Parliamentary Assembly co-chair
Heidi Hautala described a resolution adopted yesterday by the Euronest
Parliamentary Assembly on the centenary of the Armenian Genocide as
a very important decision, when speaking to reporters in Yerevan
today on the sidelines of the Euronest PA session. The resolution
was endorsed by 33 votes, 4 votes were against.

“Personally, I attach great importance to this resolution. Before
the start of the plenary session of the Euronest PA, we visited the
Genocide Memorial in Tsitsernakaberd, and adopted this important
decision,’ said Hautala.

Prior to the vote a German MP Kurt Fleckenstein said that “it is
impossible to build a good future, without recognizing the fact
of genocide.”

One of those who voted against was an MP from Ukraine Sergey Alekseev,
who said their position in this matter does not coincide with the
Armenian, as Armenia does not support their position on Russian
aggression against Ukraine and refuses to recognize the Holodomor.

Hautala said the fourth ordinary session of the Euronest PA
was successful, having adopted a number of important resolutions
concerning the expansion of cooperation with the countries embraced
by EU’s Eastern Partnership program.

Euronest PA session was held in Yerevan on 17-18 March. The agenda
included four main reports by the standing committees of the National
Assembly of Armenia on cooperation issues in 2014-2020 under the
European Neighborhood and Eastern Partnership programs.-0-

Serzh Sargsyan Closes Republican Party

SERZH SARGSYAN CLOSES REPUBLICAN PARTY

Hakob Badalyan, Political Commentator
Comments – 18 March 2015, 14:24

The leader of the Republican parliamentary group Vahram Baghdasaryan
announced that the discussions on the amendments to the Constitution
focus on reducing the number of parliamentary seats. He said so in
answer to the question of the Haykakan Zhamanak Newspaper whether it
is true that the new parliament will have 121 seats instead of the
present 131.

“Why not 75 seats?” Vahram Baghdasaryan said. He said he personally
thinks that it is more correct to have a professional parliament with
75 members.

Let us leave aside the meaning of the phrase “professional
parliament”. It is more interesting that the head of the Republican
parliamentary group is expressing his “personal opinion” and is
uttering the number 75. Can the Republicans express such “responsible”
personal opinions on such matters, even in a joke? After all, such
an opinion could cause concerns and panic in both the so-called
opposition field and the Republican Party.

Because the number of seats is reduced, and competition becomes
tougher, so the probability of being one of the winners becomes lower.

Vahram Baghdasaryan is an experienced participant of the Armenian
administration not to realize the responsibility of such “personal
opinion”. He knows very well what reaction his personal opinion may
cause. Hence, it is not ruled out that he is not expressing just a
“personal opinion” but an approach under consideration which is
considered necessary to be published.

Currently, there is one pole in the political field of Armenia and
such considerations will target the government pole. Obviously,
the suggestion on 75 seats may be meant to intensify passions, and
passions must be somehow dealt with. Serzh Sargsyan would hardly take
a step that would stir the opposition. There is no need for extra
efforts in this direction. All that Sargsyan wanted to get from this
opposition at this stage he got through meetings at the president’s
office and open letters written earlier.

The issue of the government pole is different. Sargsyan’s upcoming
activities are based here because disassembly of the opposite pole is
not enough unless he uses this circumstance for necessary reshuffle in
the Republican Party or the administration needed for gaining maximum
flexibility and autonomy for a reshuffle in the upcoming electoral
stage. It means that Serzh Sargsyan must cause some processes to
mature in this pole, empowering himself with some legitimacy to act.

And when it is announced that the seats in the parliament may be
reduced from 131 to 75, this statement causes more concerns in
the Republican Party rather than the opposition. It is clear that
Sargsyan cannot give all the 75 seats to the Republican Party, which
means that the Republican seats will be reduced, some people will be
deprived of mandates. In other words, the competition will intensify,
hence the aspirants will set to fight for it.

In other words, Serzh Sargsyan actually spurs an early fight for
mandates within the RPA through Vahram Baghdasaryan’s statement,
which may be equal to stimulating a miscarriage.

However, it means that Sargsyan needs to take care of his security
in this game. Of course, Gagik Tsarukyan’s demonstrative punishment
intended to fight off thoughts of a riot but since more people will
lose this game, resistance will be much stronger.

Perhaps, therefore, Sargsyan has recently announced in his speech
on the Constitution that he has concerns about change of the model
of governance, namely in regard to risks relating to internal and
foreign security and stability. He called to develop a change of the
model of governance, as well as options of improvement of the model.

Interestingly, Serzh Sargsyan is eliminating political hindrances
to his initiative to amend the Constitution, Afterwards, however, he
does not push forward the idea of change of the model of governance
without hindrances but actually puts forward the idea of leaving the
existing model and merely improving it. In addition, the stress is
on the security issue, which is related to administrative powers on
the security agencies.

The improvement of the existing model with such focus means increase
of the role of the security agencies rather than the parliament. It is
going to be the counterweight with the help of which Serzh Sargsyan
will be trying to charge and discharge the RPA, bridling the RPA
after the opposition.

By eliminating PAP Serzh Sargsyan has actually deprived the RPA of
blackmail against it, getting a bigger chance to align the RPA to
his own political plans. So far this party was a governmental stock
exchange where experienced brokers succeeded in administration.

Sargsyan who is facing the issue of leaving as a de jure active player
pursues the strategic goal of closing this exchange to deprive other
players of an opportunity to play after him.

Lydian Seeking To Attract Investments Into Amulsar Project Bearing H

LYDIAN SEEKING TO ATTRACT INVESTMENTS INTO AMULSAR PROJECT BEARING HIGH INVESTMENT RISKS

16:00 March 17, 2015

EcoLur

Lydian International Company is seeking to attract shareholders into
the development of Amulsar gold mine Armenia. Lydian International
Company presented Amulsar project at PDAC-2015 in Canada. The CEO of
Lydian International Company Howard Stevenson stated that investments
will be attracted and the construction will be launched in 2015,
while gold mining will start in 2016. Nevertheless, the company
didn’t mention anything about pre-conditioned positive opinion
of environmental expertise for Amulsar project and the mandatory
requirements of project safety posed by Nature Protection Ministry and
naturally not a word about serious risks and threats for strategic
water resources, unique biodiversity revealed by public monitoring,
as well as nothing about public opposition to Amulsar project.

Below we publish environmental lawyer and ‘Save Teghout’ initiative
member Arthur Grigoryan’s article

‘Amulsar Mining Is Illegal and Impermissible

PART ONE

I have joined the group, which opposes to Amulsar mining project
considering it, first of all, contradictory to the legislation of
the Republic of Armenia, economically harmful and disproportionally
risky in viewpoint of ecology and culture.

It should be mentioned that company to be developing Amulsar has
presented a quite high-quality EIA, which is not inherent to mining
projects implemented in Armenia so far. Nevertheless, nice packaging
contains a very vulnerable project in conent and an irresponsible
project, the implementation of which is merely illegal.

Amulsar mining can’t be classified as ‘responsible mining’ concept,
as it doesn’t comply with ‘performance standards’ it declared
and the requirements of the national legislation it prescribes,
mentioned by units advocating the mining project – IFC, WB, EBRD, US
and UK diplomatc representations etc, thus bearing huge individual
responsibility, including for the processes started before the
projects…

Another legal issue is that the positive opinion of the environmental
expertise of EIA is not an expert document in compliance with the law,
but a short summary of the EIA, in my evaluation, which is subject
to appellation as an administrative act in all legal ways, including
in court.

The heap leach facility is located in the area of Gndevaz community
in a distance of 1 km from residential area. The permissibility of
the construction of an ore dressing plant and a heap leach facility in
such proximity to residential area is also subject to legal assessment,
as well as determination of the project affected zone.

– In territorial viewpoint, the most acute legal issue is determining
the mining affected zone: taking into consideration that Amulsar
is located in the drainage basin of Lake Sevan, while ‘Vorotan-Arpa’
hydrotechnical complex is also an immediate impact zone of Lake Sevan –
all the communities located in the drainage basin of Lake Sevan shall
also be recognized as Amulsar mining affected communities.

– Spandaryan reservoir is located in a distance of 6 km from mining
area (including infrastrucutres), which can store up to 260 million
cum water. On the other side, Kechout reservoir is located in a
distance of around 4.5 km, from where the accumulated water flows to
Lake Sevan through Arpa-Sevan tunnel. Water flows form in the area
of Amulsar mine, which supply water to Vorotan, Arpa and Darb rivers,
which will be used for different purposes in the area laid down in the
EIA, as well as beyond this territory for the irrigation of vineyards
for the production of brandy and wine.

– Approximately 22-kilometer-long Spandaryan-Kechout tunnel is
located between the mine and the plant, which was constructed to
transfer annually around 160 million cum water from Vorotan water
accumulated in Spandaryan reservoir to Kechout reservoir, then to
Lake Sevan. Some parts of mining affected zones are also Lake Sevan
immediate impact zones.

Jermuk resort town is located in a distance of 10 km from Amulsar.

Depreciation of Jermuk international fame, probable negative impacts
on the vineyards irrigated with the project affected rivers, risks
for decrease in wine and brandy production and their quality decrease
are subject to alternative economic assessment.

Though the recently passed resolution of the Armenian Government allows
to transfer rare and extincting plant species from the mining area,
this resolution is subject to appellation in court, as it contradict
with RA Code on Subsoil, as well as laws on flora and fauna.

Valuable cultural finds have been detected in Amulsar.

In addition to legal, economic, social, cultural and other
contradictory points, Amulsar mining also has a very serous problem,
which makes the declared priority of social responsibility impossible:
it has already caused a tense intercommunity and intracommunity
conflict, which will get deeper and deeper.

1915 Movie Trailer, Poster Released

1915 Movie Trailer, Poster Released

‘1915’ movie poster

LOS ANGELES-In honor of the 100th anniversary of the forgotten genocide
that ravaged the Armenian population of Ottoman Turkey, Bloodvine
Media, in conjunction with Strongman and mTuckman Media, plans to
release “1915” in theaters on April 17 and on demand April 22, 2015.

The psychological thriller is directed by Armenians Garin Hovannisian
(author of Family of Shadows) and Alec Mouhibian, and features a who’s
who of Armenian cast and crew, including executive producer Raffi K.

Hovannisian (Armenia’s first foreign minister), Grammy Award winning
composer Serj Tankian (from the band System of a Down, soon to go on
a tour dedicated to the Genocide), and actors Simon Abkarian (Casino
Royale) and Angela Sarafyan (Twilight). The filmmakers will also
join tens of thousands of Armenians on a march for justice on April
24 in Los Angeles to bring attention to the first genocide of modern
history – which has been denied by the government of Turkey for an
entire century. In Yerevan, a historic premiere is being planned at
the Moscow Theatre for April 25.

“2015 marks not only the hundredth anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide, but also the close of an entire century of forgotten
genocides,” said Garin Hovannisian. “‘1915’ is about denial – how we
try to escape history, how history continues to haunt us. It is also
about the need to face the ghosts of our own pasts.”

Exactly 100 years after the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey,
a mysterious director (Simon Abkarian) is staging a play at the Los
Angeles Theatre to honor the victims of that tragedy – a horrifying
crime forgotten and denied for an entire century. But as protesters
surround his theatre, and a series of strange accidents spread panic
among his producer (Jim Piddock) and actors (Angela Sarafyan, Sam Page,
Nikolai Kinski), it appears that the director’s mission is profoundly
dangerous, and the ghosts of the past are everywhere.

“1915” is directed and written by Garin Hovannisian and Alec Mouhibian,
produced by Terry Leonard, Garin Hovannisian, and Alec Mouhibian,
executive produced by Raffi K. Hovannisian, with original music by
Serj Tankian (from the band System of a Down), cinematography by
Leigh Lisbão Underwood, production design by Michael Fitzgerald,
costume design by Lauren Oppelt, and editing by Dan Dobi and Paul
Forte. The film stars Simon Abkarian, Angela Sarafyan, Sam Page,
Nikolai Kinski, Debra Christofferson, and Jim Piddock. For more
information, please join the 10,000 strong followers of the film on
Facebook at You can pre-order the
movie at and instantly receive the haunting
musical composition “1915 – The End Begins” from the original score
by Grammy Award winning composer Serj Tankian.

The movie has been produced in partnership with the Armenian Center
for National and International Studies (ACNIS) and the RVVZ / IDeA
Foundation.

Release and Premiere “1915” will open in select theaters across
Southern California on April 17, in New York City on April 22, and
in Yerevan, Armenia, on April 25. (The film will also be available on
demand on April 22 across all platforms.) For a full list of theaters

Theatre in Berlin, Germany, on April 5, headlining the prestigious
theater’s groundbreaking six-week artistic commemoration of the
Armenian Genocide. “1915” will then have its United States premiere at
the historic Egyptian Theatre on April 13, in an event co-presented
by the American Cinematheque and the Arpa Foundation for Film, Music
