CCAF

En exportant son racisme anti-armenien l’Azerbaïdjan s’en prend a
la France.

27-02-2013

Le Conseil de coordination des organisations armeniennes de France
condamne fermement les provocations azerbaïdjanaises sur le territoire
de la Republique Francaise.

Mardi 26 fevrier, deux ” etudiants ” activistes proches de l’Ambassade
d’Azerbaïdjan en France, ont perturbe violemment l’organisation d’une
conference commemorant le pogrom de Soumgaït, commis il y a 25 ans
par les autorites azerbaïdjanaises.

L’Azerbaïdjan cherche a exporter son racisme anti-armenien sur le
territoire de notre Republique francaise en multipliant les actes,
les mesures et les discours anti-armeniens. Son president Ilham Aliev
a declare a plusieurs reprises que “les Armeniens du monde entier
etaient les ennemis de l’Azerbaïdjan”. Ses activistes et relais en
France passent desormais aux actes en provoquant les Francais chez
eux en France et en insultant la memoire des victimes du pogrom
anti-armenien de Soumgaït.

Il est inadmissible de diffuser tout racisme quel qu’il soit,
jusqu’au c~ur de la souverainete nationale, notre Parlement. Il
est inadmissible de voir l’Azerbaïdjan tenter de prendre en otage la
Republique francaise et ses institutions.

Le CCAF appelle au calme et a la vigilance et denonce toute tentative
d’instrumentaliser la Republique francaise. Nous appelons egalement
les autorites francaises a prendre les mesures concrètes pour proteger
les institutions, les dirigeants et les lieux symboliques des Francais
d’origines armeniennes sur l’ensemble du territoire de la Republique.

RAFFI HOVHANNISSIAN N’EXCLUT PAS DE SAISIR LA COUR CONSTITUTIONNELLE

Lors d’une conference de presse, Raffi Hovhannissian n’a pas exclu de
saisir la Cour Constitutionnelle d’ici le 2 mars, meme si certains
membres de son equipe s’y opposent, arguant que sa lutte sera menee
dans le strict respect de la Constitution et des lois armeniennes. M.

Hovhannissian a exclu que le scenario du 1er mars 2008 puisse se
reproduire. Il a par ailleurs dit en vouloir aux leaders etrangers
de s’etre ” precipites ” pour feliciter Serge Sarkissian, estimant
qu’ils allaient ” le regretter “. M. Hovhannissian a une nouvelle fois
evoque son entretien en tete-a-tete avec Serge Sarkissian, qui l’aurait
exhorte a diriger l’opposition et tenter ses chances en 2018. Il a
precise qu’aucune proposition de rejoindre la coalition ne lui avait
ete faite. M. Hovhannissian devait poursuivre les manifestations
dans les regions les 26 et 27 fevrier, avant de tenir une nouvelle
manifestation a Erevan, le 28 fevrier. / Rapporte par l’ensemble de

INCIDENTS A L’ASSEMBLEE ENTRE DES MILITANTS PRO-ARMENIE ET DEUX AZERBAIDJANAIS

Des incidents ont oppose hier soir a l’Assemblee nationale des
militants de la cause armenienne, qui y tenaient une reunion, a deux
Azerbaïdjanais, provoquant l’intervention immediate de l’ambassadeur
d’Azerbaïjan, a-t-on appris aujourd’hui.

Les pro-Armeniens s’etaient rassembles pour une ceremonie d’hommage
aux victimes armeniennes d’un pogrom survenu dans la ville azerie de
Soumgaït, en 1988, a l’epoque de l’URSS, quand les deux Azerbaïdjanais
sont intervenus et ont ete, selon l’ambassade d’Azerbaïdjan a Paris,
frappes.

Ils avaient declare a la salle vouloir pour leur part commemorer un
autre massacre, perpetre selon eux par les Armeniens en 1992 a Khojaly,
lors du conflit de la region du Nagorny-Karabach. Les militants
armeniens ont alors, toujours selon l’ambassade, “sauvagement battu
les deux Azerbaïdjanais”.

Ceux-ci se sont alors refugies dans une autre salle, où se reunissaient
des deputes. “Ils etaient en etat de stress, et des coups avaient
ete portes”, a indique un depute a l’AFP.

L’ambassadeur d’Azerbaïdjan en France, Elchin Amirbayov, s’est
ensuite rendu sur place pour reclamer que “les agresseurs” soient
“bientôt identifies et traduits en justice”, selon l’ambassade.

Pour sa part, le Conseil de coordination des Armeniens de France
(CCAF), jugeant “curieux” cette arrivee de l’ambassadeur “quelques
minutes après l’incident”, a denonce dans un communique “une
provocation inadmissible” de la part des Azerbaïdjanais.

STUDENTS OF AGRARIAN UNIVERSITY OF ARMENIA ATTACKED THE JOURNALIST

2013-02-27 13:24:00

Today, on February 27, students on strike staged a protest at the
Agrarian University of Armenia. University students, in their turn,
organized a reverse action and asked to leave the teritorry. Students
with aggressive behavior voiced curses against the protesters,
chanting, “get out!”

As the correspondent of Lurer.com reports , during the action,
university students attacked the journalist of the newspaper “Haykakan
Zhamanak” Tatev Khachatryan.

The journalist went to the deputy police chief Valery Osipyan and
asked to bring to order the aggressive student. Osipyan approached
the students and tried to resolve the situation.

BOYER DEMANDE “QUE TOUTE PROPAGANDE NEGATIONISTE CESSE”

Maritima.info
27 fevr 2013

Communique de Valerie Boyer, depute UMP de la 1ère circonscription
des Bouches-du-Rhône :

“En entretenant la propagande negationniste et en multipliant les
actes de provocation anti-armeniens avec notamment la promotion
des criminels qui se sont rendus coupables d’actes de barbarie
anti-armenienne (affaire Safarov), le regime d’Aliev encourage le type
d’incident qui s’est produit hier dans l’enceinte meme de l’Assemblee
nationale où s’est deroulee la commemoration du 25ème anniversaire des
pogroms armeniens de Soumgaït, les 28-29 fevrier 1988. Ce moment de
recueillement et d’emotion a ete le theâtre d’une nouvelle provocation
azeri prouvant une nouvelle fois que les intentions de l’Azerbaïdjan ne
sont ni a l’apaisement ni a la resolution du conflit du Haut-Karabagh.

Il y a un an, je me suis rendue au Haut-Karabagh pour connaître cette
terre ancestrale armenienne où se joue depuis des annees un conflit
ethnique oublie auquel le gouvernement socialiste est totalement
indifferent. Pire, le President Hollande tout sourire recevait Aliev
en septembre 2012.

La voix de notre pays doit s’elever pour defendre les valeurs de
la Convention de sauvegarde des droits de l’homme et des libertes
fondamentales. A l’approche du centenaire du genocide armenien,
il ne faudrait pas que les armeniens du Haut-Karabagh soient encore
l’objet de persecutions du fait de leur origine.

Je demande a Francois Hollande de prendre les mesures diplomatiques
qui s’imposent afin que sur le sol national francais toute propagande
negationniste cesse. Je demande a Claude Bartolone d’inscrire a l’ordre
du jour de l’Assemblee nationale ma proposition de Loi tendant a la
transposition en droit interne de la Decision-cadre 2008/913/JAI du 28
novembre 2008 sur la lutte contre certaines formes et manifestations
de racisme et de xenophobie au moyen du droit penal, qui entend
precisement creer une sanction penale a l’encontre des personnes se
rendant coupables de contestations du Genocide armenien.

Le petrole n’achète ni la memoire, ni les Droits de l’Homme.”

CIVIL ACTIVISTS HOLD PROTEST ACTIONS IN FRONT OF EMBASSIES IN YEREVAN

ARMINFO
Tuesday, February 26, 20:02

Today several dozens of civil activists held protest actions in
front of the Embassies of France, Italy and Russia in Yerevan. They
expressed their discontent with the fact that the foreign states’
presidents congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on victory in the presidential
election in Armenia.

The number of law-enforcers guarding the building of the embassies
was higher than that of the protesters. The law-enforcers blocked
the pavements near the embassies. The protesters held posters saying:
“You congratulate the false president!”, “Don’t encourage a new March
1!”, “We want a Carrefour in Armenia”. One of the activists managed to
pass by the police and made his way to the building of French Embassy,
however, the police pushed him off, took his poster and tore it. The
poster said: “We present Serzh Sargsyan to you”. “They took away
my poster, swore at me and then mocked that I had no poster. I told
them to return my poster, and they replied that I had come without
any poster”, said activist Vahagn Minasyan.

As regards the Embassy of Italy, a representative of the Embassy took
a letter from the protesters’ hands. The protesters had managed to
approach the fence of the building before the police’s arrival. When
the activists approached the building of the Russian Embassy, the
number of law-enforcers increased, however, the protesters managed to
hand their letter. The letter expresses the activists’ disappointment
in the assessment of the presidential election. “In our opinion,
such assessment could be a result of two things: either the Head of
your state is unaware of the large-scale electoral fraud and bribery
of voters in the course of the presidential election in Armenia or
he supports the criminal oligarchs’ usurpation of power in Armenia”.

The letter also demonstrates the activists’ willingness to continue
the fight aimed at establishment of democracy. “We are determined to
do our actions and we have announced civil disobedience. We are not
going to obey the instructions of the non-elected president, including
the international agreements signed by him. We want you to remain
committed to democratic values”, says the letter. “You have no right
to devaluate the moral capital of Armenia formed among the European
peoples over years. Such policy will lead to the loss of our confidence
and creation of a barrier between Europe and Armenia”, the letter says.

RPA AND NA CENTERS OF POLITICAL CORRUPTION
Karine Ionesyan

Story from Lragir.am News:

Interview with Chairwoman of Transparency International Anti-Corruption
Center Sona Ayvazyan

How it happens that parliamentary members accumulate such wealth with
their low salaries?

We know that parliament is composed of businessmen, who are rich and
their presence there guarantees complete immunity. I mean they are
not held responsible, though RoA Constitution sets parliamentarians
can’t engage in business activities. They, most probably, don’t pay
taxes so they get richer.

Do they get richer after assuming their office in the parliament?

Since everything has become more transparent only now, we have no
data from previous years relating to some parliamentarians and we
can’t compare. It will be possible to say in a few years.

Do NA activities help parliamentarians avoiding taxes?

They get political levers, they get the possibility to influence on
the adoption of laws which guarantee their business security. This
is a sort of political corruption.

According to our research, the richest parliamentary members are
Republicans, excluding PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan.

The Republican Party seems a union of businesses, it can hardly be
called a party, it is criminal group which appeared in the NA and
is now forming the political agenda proceeding from the interests of
several people.

MPs provide annual property declarations to Ethics Commission. Do
those numbers correspond to the reality?

We can’t know that. Only investigative journalists can. But it will
be difficult anyway because it is kept secret: high ranking officials
register their property at their relatives. The process of declaration
of property does not regard the relatives of parliamentarians, so
they are not held responsible.

Are there no supervision mechanisms?

First, Ethics Commission’s activities are technical and they don’t
study data. They don’t check whether the property of a certain figure
could be obtained with their salaries. Several years ago, we turned to
relevant bodies with the request to study Tigran Arzaqantsyan’s case,
since he has shares in some companies. Relevant bodies affirm that
if that person is not the executive director, he can’t be considered
involved in business. But it is their interpretation.

Has any MP been held responsible for doing business?

No. When investigative materials appear, we turn to the Ethics
Commission, but as a rule, the law enforcement bodies see no corpus
delicti. They don’t fulfill their duties being engaged in sponsorship.

Many declare their properties as real estate, and very often, it
is impossible to find out the real price. So you think they conceal
anything?

Full declarations and the published part are different. The data are
not fully released because it is a secret, so some important figures
remain out, such as the series of cars, the annual turnover etc. But
this is a shortcoming of the legislation.

What solutions do you propose?

First, the laws need to be amended to eliminate these shortcomings.

The commission of high ranking officials should not be under the
president. The illegal enrichment is not criminally punished: Armenia,
signed the UN convention on corruption fight, but signed the point
on the illegal enrichment with reservations. People should be held
responsible for illegal enrichment.

prime minister,” he said.
