Ample conditions created in Armenia for free election – CIS observers

YEREVAN Feb 17

Observers from countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States
(CIS), monitoring the Armenian presidential election, have released a
second interim report which says that Armenia’s electoral code was
drafted in compliance with the convention on democratic election
standards, and the electoral rights and liberties in CIS countries.

"In the opinion of CIS observers, the main preparations for the
Armenian presidential election are proceeding in line with the
electoral code. The country’s legislative and executive authorities
have created proper conditions for a free and open election
campaign," says the report, circulated on Sunday.

"The law on the presidential election has no provisions that would
set discriminatory curbs on citizens’ electoral rights or involve
citizens’ inequality before the law," it says.

Armenia’s electoral code "guarantees a solid foundation for free and
democratic elections," the CIS observers said.

The Armenian Central Election Commission has formed 41 territorial
and 1,923 district electoral commissions, the report says.

"The Central Elections Commission is working openly, its meetings
were attended by international observers, representatives of the
public and journalists, who provided immediate coverage of the
decisions made," it says.

Following visits to territorial commissions the mission stated that
their work was open. "Observers were given the right to assess the
territorial commission’s work without any restrictions," the report
says.

The canvassing campaign is proceeding in compliance with the Armenian
electoral code, "correctly and quietly," they said.

Within the framework of the monitoring mission, its headquarters
analyze complaints about irregularities uncovered.

"The CIS observers state that complaints about irregularities
uncovered are analyzed in accordance with the Armenian legislation,"
the reports says.

The Armenia presidential election is due to take place on February
19.

RSF: ARTICLE 301 IS "ENEMY OF PRESS FREEDOM"

BIA
Feb 14 2008
Turkey

In its annual report for 2008, Reporters Without Borders (RSF)
criticised Article 301 and the nationalist obstruction of press
freedom. The murder of Hrant Dink could have been prevented.

2007 began very badly, with the murder of Turkish-Armenian Agos
newspaper editor Hrant Dink. It was a tough year for press freedom,
with authoritarian behaviour and nationalist violence.

Dink’s murder could have been prevented Hrank Dink was shot dead on 19
January 2007 in front of the Istanbul offices of the privately-owned
bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly magazine Agos he edited. The
killer, O. S., from Trabzon, a bastion of Turkish nationalism, was
arrested hours later and investigations soon showed he had ties to
the security forces, which had been warned several times Dink was
going to be killed.

But officials refused to prosecute the police suspects and evidence
was reportedly destroyed. The trial of the 19 suspects began in
Istanbul in July amid tight police security and because O.S. (17)
was a minor, was held in secret. The second hearing mentioned the
police involvement. The third hearing was on 11 February 2008, and
the next hearing is on 25 February.

Article 301, the enemy of press freedom When the hitman was arrested
he expressed no remorse and said Dink deserved to die for insulting
Turks. Dink had been prosecuted several times for calling the
Ottoman Empire massacre of Armenians "genocide," a term that Turkey
rejects. Article 301 of the criminal code provides for between six
months and three years in prison for anyone "openly denigrating"
the government, courts, police or armed forces.

Dink was given a suspended six-month prison sentence in 2005 under
this article and was prosecuted again in September 2006 for calling
the Armenian massacre "genocide" in an interview with Reuters news
agency. His son Arat and two other Agos staffers were given year-long
suspended prison sentences in October 2007 for reprinting the interview
in the magazine.

Promises of amendment not kept A few days earlier, newly-elected
Turkish President Abdullah Gul told the Council of Europe’s
Parliamentary Assembly that he favoured amending article 301. The EU’s
annual progress report on Turkey’s application to join the EU said very
serious efforts were still needed to improve freedom of expression.

Justice minister Mehmet Ali Sahin said on 6 November the government
would amend article 301 and that the cabinet would give priority to
proposals based on calls from civil society groups. Prime minister
Erdogan made similar promises a year earlier.

The army as a threat to the media Nationalism was behind many attacks
on press freedom. Yasin Yetisgen, owner-editor of the Kurdish
paper Coban Atesi, was thrown in jail for printing an article on
2 August saying the town of Antep was in "northern Kurdistan," an
officially-illegal term. Journalists were several times forbidden to
report on Turkish military operations in Iraqi Kurdistan against PKK
rebel bases, officially so as not to demoralise the population with
"negative" news but in fact to preserve the image of the army.

This desire for control was shown in March when two reports, from the
the military high command and the prime minister’s office, were leaked
to the media. They revealed that media outlets and journalists were
classified as to how far they agreed with government policies and that
official accreditation was used to either exert pressure on a media
outlet or journalist or to reward those that backed the armed forces.

Three French journalists – Guillaume Perrier of Le Monde and two
photographers for the Capa photo agency – were arrested on 24 October
at the Habur border-crossing between Turkey and Iraq for refusing to
show their film to customs officials, who roughed one of them up.

They were held for questioning with no reason given, separated and
interrogated. They were freed by the town prosecutor the next day
but their film and equipent was not returned.

Kurdish media faced obstacles Many Kurdish media outlets were
shut down, sometimes more than once, mainly for supposed "terrorist
propaganda," and most often the newspapers Gundem and Guncel. Gun TV,
broadcasting in the southern region of Diyarbakir and the only station
allowed to put out Kurdish-language programmes, ran into many problems,
including when it broadcast Kurdish songs.

Columnist Aydin Erdogan was dismissed in October by the daily
Cumhuriyet for criticising, during a TV debate on the pro-Kurdish
Roj TV channel, planned constitutional changes and for advocating a
peaceful solution to the Kurdish conflict. He was also not allowed to
present his own books put out by Cumhuriyet Publishing at the Tuyap
book fair as had been planned.

OSCE PRIORITY IN 2008 DIRECTED AT SETTLEMENT OF DELAYED FROZEN CONFLICTS IN AZERBAIJAN, GEORGIA AND MOLDOVA – FINLAND FOREIGN MINISTER

Azerbaijan, Baku, 14 February / Trend News corr. K.Ramazanova /
The priority of OSCE in 2008 will be the settlement of the delayed
conflicts in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova, Ilkka Kanereva, OSCE
acting-chairman in Washington and Finland Foreign Minister, stated
during the meeting of US Commission in Helsinki on 13 February

Three unsettled frozen conflicts remain: Nagorno-Karabakh,
Georgian-Abkhaz and Georgian-Osetia, on the territory of CIS countries.

The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
in 1988, due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.

Since 1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven neighbouring
districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding
the peaceful negotiations.

Kanereva added that he would pay a visit to the South Caucasus at
the end of February. Within the framework of the visit he would
discuss with the Presidents of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia,
ways of settling the conflicts in the region.

Armenia: Rivals Up The Stakes

Two main contenders in presidential poll claim that government
employees are on their side.

By Naira Melkumian in Yerevan (CRS No. 431 14-Feb-08)

As the Armenian presidential contest heads towards the finishing
line, tensions are rising between supporters of the two leading
candidates, while the intentions of many voters remain unclear.

The official candidate, Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian, and the man
generally seen as his principal rival, former president Levon
Ter-Petrosian, are engaged in a contest of wills, each claiming that
the public is behind him.

Ter-Petrosian’s supporters have sought to undermine confidence in the
Sarkisian camp by claiming that many government officials are on
their side, while accusing the administration of pressuring employees
to back its favoured candidate.

It is difficult to judge what people’s real voting intentions are.

During a Ter-Petrosian rally in Yerevan on February 9, IWPR asked two
men and a woman standing to one side whether they supported the
former president. `We aren’t for anyone, we just came to look and
listen,’ replied one of them.

A few minutes later, they became less hesitant and volunteered the
information that in the district administration offices where they
work, their bosses noted down their passport details and instructed
them to vote for the government’s candidate or face losing their
jobs.

`How can we vote freely after that?’ asked the woman.

A member of staff at Armenia’s institute of archaeology and
ethnography said many people were choosing to keep their views to
themselves for fear of suffering the consequences.

`If people are asked, they may say that they are supporting the
official candidate whereas in actual fact they may support the other
candidate, Levon Ter-Petrosian,’ she said. `There is undoubtedly
fear, especially among people who have a business or a state-sector
job.’

Ahead of the February 19 ballot, several opinion polls suggest that
Sarkisian has a commanding lead over his two main opponents,
Ter-Petrosian and former speaker of parliament Artur Baghdasarian.
Supporters of the two latter candidates say that the pollsters are
not neutral, and that voters are afraid to express their real views.

The Ter-Petrosian campaign team says between 80 and 100 people have
suffered intimidation or lost their jobs for supporting the former
president, and is compiling a list of names of people who have been
punished in this fashion. These figures have not been confirmed
independently.

The authorities strongly deny these charges.

`We need only transparent elections that are fair and inspire
confidence,’ said Sarkisian, answering questions in parliament.

In the northern Lori region of Armenia, the governor heads the
pro-government Republican Party but is allowing staff working under
him to support the opposition.

Arman Musinian, Ter-Petrosian’s press secretary, said that this was a
rare exception to the general rule.

`There are some honest leaders within the state system who understand
that people have the right to express their will and make a free
choice,’ said Musinian.

Musinian said the Ter-Petrosian campaign headquarters constantly gets
visits from people who work for the government, both in national
ministries and local administrations.

`Sometimes these are high-ranking people,’ he said. `They ask for CDs
or other materials, and even offer their help, but they try to do it
surreptitiously because they are afraid of losing their jobs. These
people run into not thousands but tens of thousands.’

Ter-Petrosian has used his position as the first president of
independent Armenia to target state-sector employees.

In the first press conference he gave in the election campaign, he
predicted that the whole `state pyramid’ would collapse in the run-up
to the vote. His supporters also predicted that he would win public
backing from some state officials.

Ter-Petrosian has won some support from other political forces, for
example the Heritage Party of former foreign minister Raffi
Hovannisian and the New Times party of Aram Karapetyan.

He has also been backed by some senior members of the Yerkrapah
Union, Armenia’s largest veterans’ organisation. It too has close
ties to the government and the Republican Party. Ter-Petrosian was
publicly endorsed by the party’s branch in the northwestern region of
Shirak during a rally in the regional centre Gyumri.

His candidacy has in addition been endorsed by Test of Spirit, an
influential organisation uniting veterans of the Karabakh war. The
group is led by Sasun Mikaelian and Hakob Hakobian, both of them
members of the ruling Republican faction in parliament.

`We stand by our commander-in-chief with whom we waged and won the
fight for freedom in Artsakh [Karabakh],’ Mikaelian told a rally. `We
are loyal to him.’

The Republican party said on February 11 that the decision by
Mikaelian and Hakobian to back Ter-Petrosian was not a sign of
serious cracks emerging in the Sarkisian camp.

`We are not worried about mass defections because our team is very
strong, very stable, very powerful and you will see that once again
on February 19,’ party spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov told the A1plus
news website. `The behaviour of one or two party members cannot be
attributed to the whole party.’

There were some press reports that 300 members of the pro-government
Prosperous Armenia party had teamed up with Ter-Petrosian. However,
there has been no public declaration to this effect, and party
spokesman Baghdasar Mherian said only one person had left his party
in recent times, and that was for reasons that had nothing to do with
politics.

Samvel Nikoyan, spokesman for the Republican Party, said predictions
that the Ter-Petrosyan camp would draw off support from
pro-government forces had been proven empty.

`Time has shown that everything that was said was a propaganda
instrument, mere wishful thinking,’ said Nikoyan.

Larisa Alaverdian, a former human rights ombudsman who now represents
the Heritage Party in parliament, insists voters must be courageous
enough to make up their own minds who they want to vote for on
election day.

`If we want to build a law-based state, then we need to drive the
slave out of ourselves,’ she said. `It ought to be a matter of pride
for the state system if it contains people with different points of
view. Such viewpoints shouldn’t be reduced to `I love you’ or `I
don’t love you’, but should be articulated in a more civilised
manner.’

FALSIFICATION OF HISTORY OF THE KARABAKH MOVEMENT CONTINUES?
Gagik Avanesyan Hadrut

Lragir

Feb 13 2008
Armenia

During the meeting of the commission for the celebration of the 20th
anniversary of the Karabakh Movement which was covered on the Public
Television of Artsakh, Janna Galstyan suggested publishing the names
of the people who organized the Karabakh movement starting from the
"underground". The co-chair of the commission and speaker of the
NKR National Assembly Ashot Ghulyan gave an answer in the spirit of
the Turkish government denying the Genocide of Armenians in 1915:
"Let historians deal with it."

It is sad but hardly 20 years have passed, and the organizers and
activists of the Karabakh Movement are already mentioned selectively,
proceeding from the political conjuncture. Perhaps the historians
will announce their names many years later, posthumously, like spies.

The names of the alive seem to bother someone. Not everyone has access
to the media, and if someone who has access to the media sees only
"himself in the Movement", distorts facts, falsification of history
starts. Silencing is the same as lying and falsifying history.

Yesterday is already history, and it cannot be changed, independent
from whether someone likes how they lived that day. It concerns not
only the government but also some activists of the Karabakh Movement
who try "not to remember" "inconvenient" names. It also concerns
everyone who is in charge of organizing the celebration of the 20th
anniversary of the beginning of the Karabakh Movement.

Unconscientious attitude toward history is intolerable. In particular,
the presence of Member of Parliament V. Avanesyan from the region
of Hadrut in the commission who has nothing to do with the Karabakh
Movement is also part of falsification. How can this commission
be objective?

Meanwhile, history is that the first meeting in the Autonomous Region
of Nagorno-Karabakh was in the evening of February 12, 1988. The first
declaration on unification was signed and sealed on behalf of the
district soviet of People’s Deputies by E. Navasardyan, president of
the Executive Committee of the district soviet of Hadrut on February
13, 1988. All the meetings in the other towns and Stepanakert took
place afterwards.

First in the NKAR the people of Hadrut protected the head of the
district soviet when the procuracy of Azerbaijan was going to take E.

Navasardyan to Baku on February 17, 1988.

The extraordinary session of the Regional Soviet of People’s Deputies
was held February 20, 1988 after the sessions of district soviets of
people’s deputies.

When history is written, the value of every fact should be realized
instead of fitting history to someone. During the office of the
ex-president Arkady Ghukasyan, for instance, to somehow link him
to the Karabakh Movement, insignificant occasions were presented as
"bold moves". For instance, there was a lot of praising of articles on
the February 20 decision of the Soviet of People’s Deputies published
in the February 22 issue of the Russian version of the Soviet Karabakh.

In the meantime, nobody stated that the same articles were published
in the Armenian version of the newspaper as well, and the editor of
the newspaper was not Arkady Ghukasyan, and the newspaper was the
official newspaper of the Soviet of People’s Deputies and it had no
right not to publish the decisions of the Soviet. If it was a matter
of boldness, why nothing was written about the meetings which shook
Nagorno-Karabakh before February 22?

Reality has nothing to do with those "fairy tales". There was a lot of
ambiguity in those years. In particular, while most party organizations
in Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region and the Bureau of the regional
committee of the party in Askeran had to approve the decision of the
Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the USSR,
defining the Karabakh movement as extremism, Hadrut was the first to
boycott it. Not everywhere in Karabakh the leaders were so determined.

As to the evaluation of history, in 20 years time it is obvious that
in the political and time aspect, everything was decided in Karabakh
and Yerevan within 9 days, between February 12 and February 20. The
role of Arkady Karapetyan, Arthur Mkrtichyan, Igor Muradyan, Manvel
Sargsyan and others is tremendous. Over the next three and a half
years it had to be kept up through counteractions out of necessity,
successful or not, meetings and parties for unification until the year
1991 when Karabakh took the initiative and again reached success both
in politics and battlefield.

As to the beginning of the armed struggle, it is the events in
Askeran when several guys with hunting rifles stopped the crowd of
thousands of Azerbaijanis. "When an Armenian with a rifle shows up,
the Azerbaijani female turban appears too to justify the escape
of their men." And maybe the names of those heroes have not been
announced out of fear that Azerbaijan will start searching them all
over the world? Meanwhile, this historic event can also serve as a
model for bringing up the young generation.

ARMENIAN POLICE ARREST PROXY OF POLITICIAN ENDORSING OPPOSITION CANDIDATE

Aravot
Feb 12 2008
Armenia

"Hakob Hakobian in deep trouble"

The officers of the police division of [Yerevan’s] Malatia-Sebastia
district took Shmavon Galstyan to the police station late last night
[11 February].

Galstyan, who is the director of a textile factory, is a close
associate of National Assembly [parliament] member Hakob Hakobyan,
who in turn is the chairman of the non-governmental organization
Test of Spirit: Union of Volunteers [of Karabakh war veterans]
that announced its endorsement of the first president of Armenia,
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, on 9 February.

The organizations supporting Ter-Petrosyan, including Hakobyan and
Galstyan’s friends, gathered at the police station yesterday, demanding
explanations as to why Galstyan was taken to the police station. Smbat
Ayvazyan, a member of the political council of the [opposition]
Republic party, was among those present. Ayvazyan told Aravot that
this act is a sign of the authorities’ recent nervousness. "They are
clutching at straws, let them do what they wish, we are not afraid, it
only recruits people to the army of our supporters who are sick of the
regime," he said. Many of those gathered there claimed that Shmavonyan
was taken to the police station in order to put pressure on Hakobyan,
who had announced his support for Ter-Petrosyan, and compared it with
the political harassment campaign launched against the directors of
businesses owned by another businessman, Khachik Sukiasyan, as well
as against his associates and relatives. Hakobyan told Aravot that
if Galstyan is not released and if there are attempts to harass and
put pressure on the directors and employees of businesses he owns, he
will stage protest demonstrations to speak about why this is happening.

MINISTER: STRATEGY OF TRANSITION FROM SYSTEM OF STATE MANAGEMENT TO THE MODEL OF CORPORATE MANAGEMENT IS INCLUDED IN SERZH SARKISIAN’S PROGRAM

Mediamax
February 13, 2008

Yerevan /Mediamax/. If we leave aside the populist ideas and
statements, the economic programs of all the presidential candidates
copy the program of the government, Minister of Trade and Economic
Development of Armenia Nerses Yeritsian stated in Yerevan today.

Mediamax reports that, speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today,
Nerses Yeritsian stated that "the given fact evidences the correctness
of the country development course, approved by us".

"In case the program of the candidate lacks the notion of "know-how",
the risk of groundlessness of his program is great. I do not see
reasons to deviate from the strategy, chosen by the government",
Nerses Yeritsian stated.

According to the Minister, the primary tasks of the government are the
establishment of science intensive economy, conditions for dynamic
growth of small and medium enterprises, as well as even territorial
economic development of Armenia.

"There is an item in Serzh Sarkisian’s program, which represents
a whole strategy – the system of state management should make a
transition to a model of corporate management", Nerses Yeritsian
stated, noting that this will in many respects assist the improvement
of the business-environment in Armenia.

ANC AUSTRALIA WELCOMES PM’S APOLOGY TO THE STOLEN GENERATION

SYDNEY: The Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC Australia) has
welcomed Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s apology to the Aboriginal `Stolen
Generations’ in what is considered a fundamental step toward reconciliation
and righting past wrongs.

Addressing a packed House of Representatives in Canberra on Wednesday, Mr.
Rudd apologised to indigenous Australians, both Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander, for past laws and policies that had `inflicted profound grief,
suffering and loss on [indigenous] fellow Australians’.

`For the pain, suffering and hurt of these Stolen Generations, their
descendants and for their families left behind, we say sorry,’ the Prime
Minister said.

`To the mothers and the fathers, the brothers and the sisters, for the
breaking up of families and communities, we say sorry,’ he added. `And for
the indignity and degradation thus inflicted on a proud people and a proud
culture, we say sorry.’

The Opposition, led by its leader Dr. Brendan Nelson, supported the Prime
Minister’s apology.

In a statement released today, ANC Australia President Mr. Varant
Meguerditchian described Prime Minister Rudd as `a leader with conviction’.

He stated: `Our Prime Minister has set an international moral high bar by
taking responsibility for past human rights violations and apologising
unconditionally for the wrongs of his predecessors.’

Speaking on behalf of the Armenian community of Australia, Mr Meguerditchian
added: `We hope that the Australian Parliament’s apology to the Aboriginal
people for past wrongs will set an example for, and encourage, the
Government of Turkey to abandon its denialist policy, to recognise the
Armenian Genocide and to embrace reconciliation with the Armenian people.’

The Stolen Generations (or Stolen Generation) is a term used to describe the
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, who were removed
>From their families by Australian government agencies and church missions
under various state acts of parliament, denying the rights of parents and
making all Aboriginal children wards of the state, between approximately
1869 and (officially) 1969.
During the last days of the Ottoman Empire, the Government implemented a
policy of Genocide upon its Christian Armenian population. As a result, up
to 1.5million Armenian men, women and children lost their lives between 1915
and 1922. The Armenian Genocide is yet to be recognised by the Turkish
Government.
