HOUSE FOREIGN AID PANEL VOTES TO MAINTAIN PARITY IN U.S. MILITARY
ASSISTANCE TO ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN

— Allocates $65 million in Economic Assistance for Armenia; $5
Million for Nagorno Karabagh

WASHINGTON, DC – A key House Appropriations Subcommittee, yesterday
evening, voted to maintain parity in U.S. foreign military
financing (FMF) assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan, reported the
Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). The decision
counters President Bush’s FY 2005 budget proposal, which would have
broken an earlier agreement between the Administration and
Congressional leaders to ensure balanced military assistance to the
two countries.

The House Foreign Operations Subcommittee, chaired by Arizona
Republican Jim Kolbe, voted to allocate $5 million in military
assistance to Armenia and Azerbaijan, respectively, as opposed to
Pres. Bush’s request of $8 million for Azerbaijan and $2 million
for Armenia. The Committee also supported a hard earmark of $65
million in U.S. assistance to Armenia, and $5 million for Nagorno
Karabagh. By contrast, the Bush Administration had requested $62
million for Armenia and had not specified any funds for Nagorno
Karabagh. The Subcommittee’s decision would effectively reduce
U.S. assistance to Armenia by $10 million from FY 2004 levels. The
reduction reflects an overall reduction of U.S. assistance to
former Soviet countries.

In the months leading up to the Subcommittee mark up of the foreign
aid bill, Armenian American activists from across the country
participated in ANCA WebFax campaigns calling attention to
potential repercussions to breaking U.S. military assistance parity
between Armenia and Azerbaijan. In February, activists noted that
the brutal murder in Hungary of 26-year-old Armenian Lieutenant
Gurgen Markarian during a NATO language course underscored the
dangers posed by adopting President Bush’s policy. That tragedy
was followed by disturbing rhetoric by the Azerbaijani leadership
threatening to resolve the Nagorno Karabagh issue militarily. As
Armenians and Azerbaijanis were marking the 10th anniversary of the
Nagorno Karabagh ceasefire on May 12th, Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev announced that, “We [Azerbaijan] must increase our military
potential. Our army is able at any moment to free our territory.”
Aliyev went on to note that military expenditures have grown over
the past several years and “it will keep increasing in the future”.

In a briefing paper faxed to House and Senate members earlier this
year, the ANCA noted that “a tilt in military spending toward
Azerbaijan would destabilize the region, emboldening the new
Azerbaijani leadership to continue their threats to impose a
military solution to the Nagorno Karabagh conflict. More broadly,
breaching the parity agreement would reward the leadership of
Azerbaijan for walking away from the OSCE’s Key West peace talks,
the most promising opportunity to resolve the Nagorno Karabagh
conflict in nearly a decade.”

Members of Congress concurred with this assessment, with over 30
House members cosigning a February 24th letter to President Bush,
initiated by Congressional Armenian Caucus Co-Chair Frank Pallone
(D-NJ), stating that they “strongly believe that providing unequal
military assistance to Azerbaijan and Armenia will contribute to
instability in the region and could unintentionally tip the
military balance.” Earlier that month, on February 11th,
Representatives Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mi), Grace Napolitano (D-CA),
Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Brad Sherman (D-CA) pressed Secretary of
State Colin Powell to explain the Administration’s reasoning for
the proposed break in Armenia-Azerbaijan military parity in spoken
and written statements submitted during his testimony before the
House International Relations Committee.

In April, Rep. Pallone and New York Republican John Sweeney
initiated a letter to Foreign Operations Subcommittee Chairman Jim
Kolbe and Ranking Democrat Nita Lowey (D-NY) urging that military
parity be maintained. Foreign Operations Subcommittee member and
Congressional Armenian Caucus co-Chairman Joe Knollenberg (R-MI)
was outspoken in his efforts to maintain a balance in military
assistance to the two countries. During the ANCA Capitol Hill
Observance of the Armenian Genocide, Rep. Knollenberg stated,
“every single time we have gotten the federal government’s dollar
numbers for Armenia, they have always been down and we’ve always
had to bring it up. And we aren’t going to stop fighting to bring
it back and to ensure there is parity on the military issue.”

The foreign aid bill will likely be considered by the House
Appropriations Committee on July 9th, followed by a full House vote
thereafter. The Senate version of the bill will follow a similar
path.

ANPP

EU is freezing 100m euros of aid to Armenia after refusal to shut down its
nuclear plant.

“Our position of principle is that nuclear power plants should not be built
in highly active seismic zones,” stated Alexis Loeber, head of the EU’s
delegation in Armenia. The European Union, as part of its general policy
seeking the closure of elderly nuclear plants constructed in territories of
the former Soviet Union, agreed to give the grant aid ($122m) to Armenia for
finding alternative energy sources and for helping with decommissioning
costs at the plant. In return, the government in Yerevan would commit to a
definite date for the plant’s closure. “We cannot force Armenia to close the
plant,” says the EU’s Mr Loeber. “We feel that should definitely be well in
advance of the end of Metsamor’s design lifecycle in 2016.” The Metsamor
plant has no secondary containment facilities, a safety requirement of all
modern reactors, BBC reported.

Another concern is that due to border and railway closures with surrounding
territories, nuclear material to feed the plant is flown into Armenia from
Russia. “It is the same as flying around a potential nuclear bomb,” says Mr
Loeber. “It’s an extremely hazardous exercise.” Areg Galstyan, the country’s
deputy minister of power, says $50m has been spent on upgrading safety at
Metsamor. “It was a big mistake to shut the plant in 1988,” says Mr
Galstyan. “It created an energy crisis and the people and economy suffered.
Electricity industry specialists say that due to the expansion and updating
of existing thermal and hydro-energy plants, the country has become an
electricity exporter in recent years. A major new power source will come on
stream in 2006 when a pipeline supplying gas from neighboring Iran is due to
be completed, BBC reported.

At the same time PACE prepared four documents urging to close the station.
Despite some calls of international organizations to close the station, the
Armenian government did not respond to them. European Union many times
suggested Armenia to close Metsamor but Armenia rejected them. As a result,
European Union had to impose an economic sanction on Armenia by refusing to
allocate $100 million.

Armenian Trade Minister Chshmaritian reiterated Yerevan’s rejection of the
offer, saying that as much as $1 billion is needed for safely shutting down
Metsamor safely and putting in place an alternative source of inexpensive
energy. He added the Armenia-EU body decided to set up a working group that
will look into the issue in detail and present its findings by the end of
this year, Baku Today reports.

The Metsamor Nuclear Power plant produced 1.9 billion kilowatt hours of
electricity in 2003, or 36 percent of the total generation of electricity in
Armenia. ZAO Inter RAO UES, a subsidiary of Russia’s Unified Energy System,
and Armenia signed a contract in September 2003 to hand over trust
management of the plant to Inter RAO UES.

2. Germany to help Armenia improve water supplies

Source: Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan, June 22, 04

[Presenter] Armenian and German businessmen are preparing cooperation plans.
The Armenian side is presenting in Berlin proposals to increase the volume
of commodity turnover. Armenian legislation is more liberal on protecting
investment and ensuring economic competition.

[Correspondent Hermine Bagdasaryan from Berlin] An additional 8m euros to
improve water supplies to Armenia’s distant districts – Armenian Prime
Minister Andranik has reached this agreement with German Minister of
Economic Cooperation and Development Heidemarie Wieczorek-Zeul. This is not
the beginning of German support, but a continuation of several years of a
programme of improvement for the republic’s water supply, assisting small
and medium-sized businesses and developing alternative sources of energy.

Minister Zeul asked Andranik Markaryan about the Caucasus Initiative
programme, expressing concern that only Armenia and Georgia are involved in
it. Our neighbours [Azerbaijan] politicize our joint cooperation in the
ecological and economic sectors although Armenia has declared its readiness
for cooperation without any conditions, Andranik Markaryan said.

The agenda of the Armenian delegation also included economic events. More
than 200 businessmen have arrived in Berlin to take part in the
Armenian-German economic cooperation forum and industrial exhibition.

3. Armenia, Iran Boost Energy Cooperation

Source: Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan, June 21, 2004

(Presenter) The Araks river is in the focus of the Armenian-Iran
cooperation. Armenia and Iran agreed to jointly use the river’s hydro
(electrical generating) potential nine years ago. A joint commission was set
up on in 2000 and after three years a scheme to use the river has been
confirmed. The project includes the construction of two power stations, one
on Armenian and one on Iranian territory. The Armenian Energy Ministry
discussed the preparation of the joint Armenian-Iran programmes and the
issues of the construction of the Megri hydro-electric power station during
the meeting held in Syunik District.

(Correspondent over video of power grids) The preparation works on the
construction power stations on the Araks river are being completed. The
construction site has already been confirmed. The sides will sign an
agreement in two months and the station’s ground stone will be laid in
summer 2005. The power station will be constructed by Iranian financial
means, estimated at about 40m dollars. This amount we (Armenia) shall return
in the form of energy produced in the new power station. This is the third
Armenian-Iran joint project. The first one was the Armenian-Iran
high-voltage power station which was commissioned last year. The second
line’s construction followed the first one which is under construction and
will be completed in the autumn.

There are seven Armenian-Iran joint programmes in the energy industry. The
construction of the Armenian-Iran gas pipeline’ will also start soon. The
agreement has already been signed, the financial sources are being confirmed
and the preparation works are being completed. The construction of oil
processing and chemical plants are possible plans.

(Armenian Energy Minister, Armen Movsesyan, captioned) These seven
programmes which we have with Iran in the energy industry are quite large,
serious programmes. I think that all these programmes will be implemented.

(Correspondent) Apart from the security issues in the field of energy, these
programmes will also promote the development of other districts and the
resolution of social problems, in particular, employment issues.

4. Germany to provide fresh loans to Armenia

Source: ArmenPress, June 22, 2004

YEREVAN, JUNE 22, ARMENPRESS: Armenian prime minister Andranik Margarian who
has left today for Germany on a three-day working visit to participate in
German-Armenian Economic Cooperation Conference is expected to discuss with
German minister for economic cooperation and development Heidemarie
Witschorek-Zoll, who is also the German co-chairman of inter-governmental
commission for cooperation, a range of issues pertaining to German-Armenian
economic cooperation.

An agreement on release of a package of German credits to Armenia in the
next 3-4 years is supposed to be sealed in 2005. Armenian finance and
economy minister Vartan Khachatrian said today before flying to Berlin that
after the end of the visit an agreement will be signed in Yerevan on the
release of 7.5 millions German loan for the support to building of
hydro-power plants, 1.5 million of which will be allocated as a grant.

Khachatrian also said that a German KwF bank plans to release a 30 million
euros loan to Armenian for upgrading the privatized Yerevan power plant.

5. Armenia hopes for Iranian credit to build hydro plant

Source: Interfax, June 22, 2004

Armenia is hoping to receive a credit from Iran to build a hydroelectric
plant on the Araks river, the cost of which is estimated at $140 million,
Armenian Energy Minister Armen Movsisian told journalists.

He said that Armenia plans to repay the credit with supplies of electricity
to Iran.

The minister said that there are plans to build two identical hydroelectric
plants on the Araks river – the Megrin Hydroelectric Plant on Armenian
territory and the Karachilar Hydroelectric Plant in Iran. Movsisian said
that in the coming two months a feasibility study would be prepared for the
construction of Megrin Hydroelectric Plant. Construction is set to begin in
mid-2005 and an agreement with Iran will be signed by the end of this year.

The minister said that the plant will have a capacity of 140 megawatts and
will produce 841 million kWh of electricity per year. For comparison he said
that 30 small hydro plants are operating in Armenia, producing a total of
600 million kWh of electricity per year. He said that the new plant would be
the best in Armenia as regards its technical and economic parameters and in
time it is planned to build a whole chain of plants on the Araks River
together with Iran.

The Armenian government and Energy Ministry are currently working on a
program to develop alternative energy production, to ensure Armenia’s
security in the event of Armenian Nuclear Power Plant closing. The main
emphasis in this program is being placed on developing hydro production.

COMMUNIQUÉ

THREE PILGRIMAGES TO DEPART FROM THE DIOCESE

It is with intense joy that we announce to the faithful members
of the Western Diocese, that with the blessings of Primate His Eminence
Archbishop Hovnan Derderian three different pilgrimages to Armenia have
been organized within the Diocese for the summer of 2004. Maintaining
direct ties with the homeland and the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin are
of vital importance for strengthening our spiritual and national
identity. Pilgrimages to Armenia serve that exact purpose, by taking the
faithful back to the roots of our heritage and religion, so that they
may renew their Christian and Armenian spirit.
The first group of pilgrims, comprised of the members of St.
John Armenian Church in San Francisco, and led by Rev. Fr. Sarkis
Petoyan, has already departed for Armenia. The second group, CYMA, will
depart on July 5. This group of young Armenian-Americans is led by Rev.
Fr. Nareg Mataryan. The last group will leave for Armenia in late July,
under the leadership of Rev. Fr. Yeghia Hairabedian.
We wish our pilgrims an enjoyable stay in Armenia, and pray that
they come back revitalized in their faith and national identity.

Eurasian community leaders arriving in Kazakhstan for economic summit

Kazakh Television first channel, Astana
17 Jun 04

[Presenter] An agreement on cooperation in securities markets and
a treaty on coordinating the legislation relating to the EAEC [the
Eurasian Economic Community of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Russia and Tajikistan – the former Customs Union] member states
are expected to be signed at an interstate council of the EAEC [in
Kazakhstan] tomorrow.

The chairman of the EAEC Integration Committee and a deputy prime
minister of Kazakhstan, Sauat Mynbayev, said the interstate session
would also discuss a single-tariff policy on railway freight, ensuring
the free movement of capital, goods and services and the countries’
information awareness in the run-up to WTO membership.

The EAEC member states will also discuss procedures for cooperation
in using water-energy resources of the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers.

The members of the committee said supranational structures should be
set up in order to effectively use the water resources.

[Grigoriy Rapota, the EAEC secretary-general] The cross-flow of
electric power from Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan to Russia via Uzbekistan
and Kazakhstan has already been taking place for two years. This is
the first and important step towards creating a common energy market.

As we were studying these issues – the construction of a hydroelectric
power station – we came across important problems on which Central
Asian states have already been working. They concern the regulation
of water-energy resources. These two processes are interrelated.

Now we are discussing the creation of a permanent mechanism which
would implement this regulation.

[Presenter] The heads of the main states [of the EAEC] – Belarusian
President Alyaksandr Lukashenka, Armenian President Robert Kocharyan,
Kyrgyz President Askar Akayev and Tajik President Emomali Rahmonov –
have already arrived in Kazakhstan to participate in the interstate
council of the EAEC.

Armenian Troops Move Positions Closer to Azeri Village in Qazakh, Residents Say
Baku Today 18/06/2004 13:37

Baku Today, Azerbaijan
June 18 2004

Residents of Mazam village in Azerbaijan’s western Qazakh District,
which borders Armenia, have started resettling their minor children
to inner villages as Armenian troops are moving their positions closer
to the village, ANS reported on Thursday.

Residents said Armenians have moved their positions towards a road
connecting the village with the rest of the district. They also
said the road has come under intensive attacks by Armenians over the
last week.

Meanwhile, Chief of Staff of the Armenian army, Michael Arutunian,
said on Wednesday that an Armenian officer was killed in a clash
with Azerbaijani forces along the country’s northeastern frontier,
France Press Agency reported.

Arutunian reportedly blamed Azeri forces on clashes that occurred in
the border, saying that the latter attempted to take control over
a position on a hilltop east of Idzhevan, an important road and
rail center.

The Armenian Chief of Staff also claimed that several troops on the
Azeri side were killed in the clashes.

The press office of Azerbaijan’s ministry of defense dismissed the
claims about an attack by the Azeri army. Ilqar Verdiyev, a press
officer, told the Baku Today that Azerbaijan’s army positions in
the Qazakh District have been attacked by Armenians on a regular
base lately.

Verdiyev said the Azeri troops have answered the enemy fittingly.
“There have been no casualties on our side,” he added.

KLO Lashes Out At Chief Azeri Diplomats, Vowing Not To Let In Armenian Officers

Baku Today, Azerbaijan
June 17 2004

Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) on Wednesday lashed out at
Azerbaijan’s high-ranking foreign ministry officials, as well as some
local human rights activists and celebrities of “falling victim to
Armenian policies.”

KLO accused Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov and his deputy Araz
Azimov for “making irresponsible and illogical” statements approving
Armenian military officers’ planned visit to Baku to attend a NATO
conference, which is set for June 22.

“By making irresponsible and illogical statements, Mammadyarov and
Azimov demonstrate that are ready to go for concessions on the Karabakh
issue,” a statement by KLO read.

“They invite and express readiness to sit down by a same table with the
Armenian officers who have slaughtered more than 20,000 Azerbaijanis,
occupied our territories and now continue murdering our soldiers
and officers.”

KLO vowed to go for every radical step to stop the Armenian officers’
entering Baku.

The officers were to appeal Azerbaijan’s embassy to Georgia on
Wednesday for entry visas to Azerbaijan. The are going to participate
in June 22 planning conference for NATO’s Corporative Best Effort—2004
exercises scheduled to be held in Azerbaijan in September of this year.

“Karabakh Liberation Organization believes that these people have been
trapped by the Armenian Diaspora and they have become … participants of
a big plot against Azerbaijan … But we will not allow this treacherous
design to be carried out,” the statement added.

Armenia hopes to expand cooperation with US – Oskanyan
By Alexander Plakhov

ITAR-TASS News Agency
June 14, 2004 Monday 2:18 PM Eastern Time

WASHINGTON, June 14 — Armenia hopes to expand cooperation with the
United States, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan said.

Speaking at the U.S. Centre for International and Strategic Studies
on Monday, Oskanyan said, “Armenian-U.S. cooperation does not run
counter interaction with Russia.”

“It is natural our partnership with Russia is deeper,” the Armenian
minister said. “Armenia is beginning its cooperation with the U.S.,”
he added.

Commenting on the situation in Iraq, Oskanyan said both sides
strengthened contacts in this field. The minister noted that the U.N.
new resolution had given more possibilities to involve other countries
in post-war reconstruction in Iraq.

In his speech Oskanyan riveted attention to the expansion of relations
with the European Union, relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan,
and the settlement of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Oskanyan
said the settlement of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh depends
on the talks within the OSCE Minsk Group, which includes the U.S.,
Russia and France.

The Armenian minister has arrived in Armenia on a visit. He will
hold talks with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, Presidential
National Security Adviser Condoleeza Rice, the Pentagon high-ranking
officials and congressmen.

Nuclear plant’s emissions way below accepted norms – Armenian official    

Mediamax news agency
11 Jun 04
   
Yerevan, 11 June: “Systematic inspection of the waste and emissions
from the Armenian nuclear power station gives every reason to confirm
that they are 100-200 times less than the maximum permissible norms,”
the head of the Armenian State Atomic Inspection Directorate, Ashot
Martirosyan, said in an interview with Mediamax news agency. He was
commenting on reports about the measurements of background radiation,
taken recently on the border with Armenia by representatives of the
Turkish nuclear power agency.

Ashot Martirosyan said that a large decrease in waste and emissions
from the Armenian nuclear power station had been observed in recent
years, thanks to the introduction of a special ALARA system [for
radiological protection] at the station with the support of the
International Atomic Energy Agency.

At the same time Ashot Martirosyan stressed that planned monitoring was
carried out of the influence of the Armenian nuclear power station
on the environment (water, air, soil, food) and this showed that
the station’s influence on the environment was far less than the
permissible norms.

Anand wins as World team takes lead

Moscow, June 11 (IANS) :

Viswanathan Anand registered a fine win and carried his World team to
a encouraging one-point lead on the opening day of the Petrosyan
Memorial chess match against an Armenian team.

The match is being played to mark the 75th birth anniversary of late
Armenian world chess champion Tigran Petrosian.

Petrosian, who was born in 1929, died in 1984.

The win Thursday did not come easily, as Armenian Smbat Lputian
stretched him to 61 moves in the first round.

“It is always nice to start with a win. The competition is bound to
get more intense as the match progresses,” said Anand, who last year
had led the World team to a fine win over a Russian team which also
had Garry Kasparov.

While Anand and Peter Svidler scored wins for the World team,
Kasparov was the lone winner for Armenia.

Svidler beat Boris Gelfand, an Israeli, who is turning out for the
Armenian team because he is the master’s most famous pupil.

The match continues till July 15. With six members on either side,
the match is a six-round Scheveningen event.

Anand (2774) had white pieces in his clash against Lputian (2634),
who is rated well below the Indian star. The game was a French
Winawer, in which at one stage, the Armenian seemed to have a chance
to escape with a draw. But Anand did not allow that and managed to
find a winning route as the game stretched to 61 moves.

Kasparov opened the match with a win over Dutchman, Loek Van Wely in
33 moves of an English Symmetrical game. The remaining three games
ended in draws.

Svidler beat Gelfand in a 52-move Sicilian Najdorf Variation game.

Besides Anand, the other members of the World team are Michael Adams,
Peter Svidler, Loek Van Wely, Etienne Bacrot and Francisco Vallejo
Pons. The Armenian team comprises Vladimir Akopian, Smbat Lputian and
Rafael Vaganian plus Kasparov whose mother is Armenian, Peter Leko
whose wife is Armenian and Boris Gelfand.

Results of Round 1:

Kasparov (ARM) beat Van Wely (ROW); Anand (ROW) beat Lputian (Arm);
Leko (ARM) drew Adams (ROW); Svidler (ROW) beat Gelfand (Arm);
Akopian (ARM) drew with Vallejo Pons (ROW); Bacrot (ROW) drew with
Vaganian (Arm).
