Soccer: FA Cup Third Round: Andranik Gamble Shows Promise

FOOTBALL: FA CUP THIRD ROUND: ANDRANIK GAMBLE SHOWS PROMISE
by Richard Rae, Keepmoat Stadium

The Guardian (London) – Final Edition
January 8, 2007 Monday

Doncaster Rovers 0
Bolton Wanderers 4

Davies 8, Teymourian 22 49 Tal 33

Andranik Teymourian, according to Sam Allardyce, is one of those
players on whom it is worth a canny Premiership manager taking the
occasional punt. "It’s a very minimal risk, because if it doesn’t
work out you can always sell a player like him back to a club in his
home country. You might lose a few bob but no more than that," said
Bolton’s manager dispassionately after watching the Armenian-Iranian
midfielder score two fine goals.

On this evidence Allardyce will not be making Andranik – who prefers
to be known by his first name – available for a return to his country
of origin yet, though whether the 23-year-old will cut it at the top
level remains to be seen.

The same could be said of Doncaster, well placed in League One, whose
commendable determination to play passing football on the perfect
surface in their fine new stadium allowed the manifestly superior
technique of Bolton’s foreign legion full rein. Andranik, Idan Tal,
Ricardo Vaz Te and Stelios Giannakopoulos took full advantage and the
result was never in doubt from the moment Giannakopoulos set up Kevin
Davies for an eighth-minute opener. Andranik got the second with a
powerful shot, Tal the third in a similar manner before half-time,
and Andranik the fourth just after the interval, bursting on to
Davies’s measured pass to finish decisively.

Allardyce signed him in August after being impressed during the World
Cup. "I’d never heard of him previously but I saw him live once and
our scouts watched him in the other games, so when a circular arrived
from his agent making him available at a very reasonable fee – a few
hundred thousand euros – we took the chance," said Allardyce.

"He’s very fit – his test results were fantastic – he’s got a great
work rate and you saw today he also has good skill with a very strong
shot, but he’s still very much on a learning curve and it may be next
season before he might be ready to cope with the pace and strength
of the Premiership."

Doncaster’s manager, Sean O’Driscoll, was left to reflect on the
lessons learned by his team. "They put out a strong side," he said.

"He’s got a bench with (Gary) Speed and (Nicolas) Anelka on it,
so I’ve got no complaints. We’ve come through without any injuries
and we’ve learned a lot as a team and as individuals, so it’s been
positive for us."

Man of the match Andranik Teymourian (Bolton Wanderers).

"The Savior came to free man from the snares of evil, from the bonds of sin
and death, and with His Divine strength, to restore him to blessed heavenly
glory.  Christ brought new life to the world – a life of the reborn,
restored soul, through which man was to proceed toward God."
– His Holiness Karekin II
 
The Feast of Holy Nativity in the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin

On January 6, the worldwide Armenian Church celebrated the Holy Nativity and
Theophany of Jesus Christ.  At dusk on January 5, following Evening
Services, a special Candlelight Divine Liturgy was celebrated in the Mother
Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin under the presidency of His Holiness Karekin
II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians.  With the
participation of the members of the Brotherhood of Holy Etchmiadzin and
hundreds of faithful, His Eminence Archbishop Nerses Bozabalian celebrated
the liturgy.

Following the liturgy, the Catholicos of All Armenians proclaimed the good
news of the Nativity and Theophany throughout the sanctuary:  "Christ is
Born and Revealed!  Glad tidings to you and us."  The courtyard of the
Mother See was filled with the light of candles, which the faithful carried
to their homes to illuminate their hearths with the life-giving light of the
Lord’s Nativity.

On the morning of January 6, His Holiness Karekin II celebrated a Pontifical
Divine Liturgy in the Cathedral of Holy Etchmiadzin on the occasion of the
Holy Nativity and Theophany of Christ.  Under the singing of church hymns,
the festive procession of deacons, priests and bishops led the Armenian
Pontiff to the Mother Cathedral to celebrate Divine Liturgy and deliver his
message to all Armenians dispersed throughout the world on the occasion of
the holy feast.

In his message, His Holiness exhorted the faithful to become new again, live
with love and trust in God:  "The arrival of the Savior was proclaimed to
all; but it was not in all hearts that the birth of the Savior of the world
was accepted with joy.  With the intent of assassinating the Newborn Jesus,
Herod massacred the infants of Bethlehem.  Yes, even the incarnation and
birth of the Son of God was accompanied by worship and murder, the realities
of peace and war, which beginning with Abel and Cain, have taken parallel
paths throughout the course of human history.  The Child born in the manger
in Bethlehem came to change that course in the world with the establishment
of the New Covenant and the shedding of His blood.  Christ said, ‘This is my
blood of the covenant, which is poured out for the many.’ (Mark 14:24).

"The call to man to restore and improve, however, did not completely put an
end to the old man, nor the existence of old understandings, and evil did
not disappear from the earth.  Today as well, underneath the nature of new
man often works the old.  Along with the pious worship of Christ by the
shepherds and magi, the evil acts of Herod also remain.  The modern world,
characterized by developing conditions, possibilities and abilities of life,
is yet not healed of miseries, calamities and wars; it is not free of
falsehood, jealousy and hate.  Man ascended to the universe, but how far has
he risen in his inner spiritual world?  The progress of science has
benefited the welfare of life, but how much also have the weapons of war
advanced?  Indeed, modern scientific and technological accomplishments,
democracy, the rights and freedom of individuals and nations, – ideologies
proclaimed as supreme values – have remained inadequate to provide answers
to the issues and challenges facing mankind.  They will continue to remain
inadequate if God does not live within us, if God does not work in our
lives, if importance is not placed on faith, holiness and the spiritual… 
Efforts aimed at peace, justice and philanthropy will be in vain, if we do
not first appeal for God’s beneficent Will and saving grace; if we do not
fulfill the divine commandment to love one another.

"The apostle says, ‘Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.  For
our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect.’ (I Corinthians
13:8-9).  All of mankind’s knowledge is incomplete, and has changed
throughout time and will continue to change; but it is love which never
ends.  Love is always constant – it is perfect, ‘it is not irritable or
resentful, it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right’.  All of
us, nations and peoples, have one holy and life-giving inheritance – the
love of God for us, His creation.  God loves us all, regardless of race,
nationality, creed, sex or age.  The testimony of this perfect love is the
revelation of the Savior on earth.  Only by being led with that same spirit
of love shall mankind be new, and renew the world in the process.  We
Christians have the promise and belief that ‘if any one is in Christ, he is
a new creation’." – stated His Holiness.

In his message, the Catholicos of All Armenians also conveyed his fraternal
greetings to the spiritual heads of sister churches and the incumbents of
the hierarchal sees of our Apostolic Holy Church:  His Holiness Aram I, His
Beatitude Archbishop Torkom Manoogian, and His Beatitude Archbishop Mesrob
Mutafian.  His Holiness also expressed his Pontifical blessings and love to
the devoted ranks of clergy and all Armenians dispersed throughout the
world.

At the conclusion of the Divine Liturgy, His Holiness offered the service of
Blessing of the Waters in commemoration of the baptism of Jesus Christ in
the Jordan River.  The Godfather of the Cross this year was renowned
composer Tigran Mansurian.  In addition to thousands of faithful, present
for the Divine Liturgy were:  Mr. Tigran Torosian, President of the National
Assembly (Parliament) of the Republic of Armenia, State Ministers of the
Republic of Armenia, high-ranking state officials, members of the Supreme
Spiritual Council, and foreign diplomats and representatives accredited to
Armenia.

Following church services, the annual Christmas reception was hosted by His
Holiness in the Pontifical Residence.

Armenia to Establish Diplomatic Relations with Turkey and to Open
Frontiers
30.12.2006

Turkey has received proposal from Armenian government, being out of
important projects realized in the region, on establishing of
diplomatic relations and opening of frontiers.
Letter of Defense Minister of Armenia, Serge Sarkisyan, published in
`The Wall Street Journal’ reads: `We intend to establish diplomatic
relations with Turkey not bringing up genocide as principal
condition’. Saying that `we want to look at the future’, Armenian
Minister hoped that Turkey’s talks with European Union opens such
opportunity for Yerevan. At the same time, he stressed that remaining
the issue of the so-called `genocide’ in agenda is necessary from the
point of view of memory on past and prevention of such crimes against
humanity. Serge Sarkisyan also said: in case Turkey opens its
frontiers Armenia will be closer to Europe from geopolitical point of
view, and we don’t want to be enemies with Turkey forever.
Political observers of Turkey said that this proposal is backed by
Armenian lobby of America and Europe, and basic proposal is that
Armenians want to exploit railway Kars-Akhalkalaki-Gumru.

Courts Pressure Translators Too
Publisher Zarakolu’s trial for "insulting the Republic" by publishing
books of two Armenian writers took a twist when the judge postponed
the case to include the translators. In two other incidents
translators were tried in freedom of expression cases.

BIA News Center
18/12/2006 Erol ONDEROGLU

BİA (Istanbul) – Publisher Ragip Zarakolu’s case where he’s
tried with 13.5 years imprisonment for "insulting the republic, its
institutions and Ataturk" by publishing two books of Armenian
writers, continued on December 14.

The judge postponed the case, ordering the translator of the books to
be brought to court. This is seen as another attempt to try
translators in freedom of expression cases.

Shafak and Tirman’s translators

Zarakolu stands trial because of publishing Prof. Dora Sakaryan’s
"The Memorials of an Armenian Doctor" and George Jerjian’s "Reality
Will Set Us Free".

Prosecution demands 7.5 years in prison for "insulting and ridiculing
the Republic and the State" of the first case and 6 years for
"insulting Turkishness and the armed forces" for the latter.

Translators Lutfi Taylan Tosun and Aysel Yildirim are being
prosecuted alongside Aram Publishing House owner Fatih Tas for the
Turkish language copy of John Tirman’s book "Spoils of War: The Human
Cost of America’s Arms Trade".

Writer Elif Shafak’s translator Aslı Bicen was also tried when
her book "Father and Bastard" put onto court with the claim of
"insulting Turkishness".

Zarakolu’s cases will continue in March 15.(EO/EU)

UK, US And Israeli State Terrorism And Western Holocaust Denial

UK, US AND ISRAELI STATE TERRORISM AND WESTERN HOLOCAUST DENIAL
By Gideon Polya

CounterCurrents.org, India
Dec 20 2006

Holocaust denial is repugnant because it denies the horrendous
suffering of those who died; it adds to the continuing suffering of
their surviving, grieving families and descendants; and it threatens
repetition of such atrocities because History ignored yields History
repeated. Indeed for these reasons denial of the WW2 Jewish Holocaust
(6 million victims) is illegal in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany,
Israel and Switzerland and the WW1 Armenian Genocide (1.5 million
victims) is variously being criminalized in Belgium and France.

There has been much legitimate criticism of the recent Teheran
Holocaust Conference because of the suggestion of Holocaust denial
implicit in such an event and the attendance of some notorious,
right-wing holocaust deniers or revisionists. Yet Holocaust Denial is
exactly what racist, lying Western academics, politicians and media
have been guilty of in relation to past and present Western-imposed
Holocausts in Asian countries, including India.

Thus Western academics, journalists and politicians generally IGNORE
the WW2 man-made Bengal Famine in British-ruled India that killed 4
million – it was associated with a 1940s demographic deficit of 10
million, horrendous military and civilian sexual abuse of starving
Indian women and girls, and may have been due to a deliberate,
cold-blooded British scorched earth policy to discourage Japanese
invasion from Burma. This Bengal Holocaust became a Forgotten
Holocaust – it has been deleted from most British history books and
from general public perception in a continuing process of egregious
Holocaust Denial. Yet it was to the WW2 Bengal Famine that the
word "Holocaust" was first applied – in 1944 by Jog, N.G. (1944),
Churchill’s Blind-Spot: India (New Book Company, Bombay) (see:
/ ).

The West has gone so far as to criminalize Holocaust Denial in
relation to the Jewish Holocaust in many Western European countries
(arguably a good thing) – but it exhibits entrenched Holocaust
Denial in relation to Indian and Asian Holocausts. Thus racist,
lying Western Mainstream media ignore the 1.5 billion excess deaths
during the brutal British occupation of India, and 18 million excess
deaths due to US Asian Wars – and they continue to ignore and deny
horrendous Asian excess deaths due to British State Terrorism, US
State Terrorism and UK-US-backed Israeli State Terrorism (for a recent
analysis entitled "Bush & Blair Holocaust Commission and Denial" see:
).

Some key Western-complicit "excess death" estimates derived
from authoritative sources such as the UN Population Division,
UNICEF, WHO and the top medical literature (e.g. see WHO:
; UNODC:
; UNICEF: ; UN Population Division:
) are given below

1. Global Muslim Holocaust. The post-1950 global avoidable mortality
totals 1.3 billion including 0.6 billion avoidable deaths in the
Muslim World – 100 times greater than the WW2 Jewish Holocaust
(6 million victims) or the contemporaneous but forgotten man-made
Bengal Famine in British-ruled India (4 million victims and a 1940s
demographic deficit in Bengal of over 10 million). There have been
18 million excess deaths associated with post-1950 US Asian wars;
post-1950 excess deaths and undr-5 infant deaths in countries occupied
by Israel total 24 million and 17 million, respectively.

US-Israeli State terrorism and UK-US State Terrorism come at a
terrible human cost – thus, as detailed below, post-invasion excess
deaths in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Territories
total 3.3 million but in comparison 7,000 Western civilians have
been murdered by Muslim-origin non-state terrorists over the
last 40 years (including Israelis and making the very arguable
assumption of no American or Israeli complicity in 9/11) (see:
/ ).

2. The post-invasion excess deaths in the Occupied Palestinian,
Iraqi and Afghan Territories total 0.3, 0.9 and 2.1 million,
respectively – 60% infants, mostly Women and Children and
largely due to Occupier violation of the Geneva, Universal Human
Rights, Genocide and Rights of the Child Conventions that demand
unequivocally that Occupiers keep their Conquered Subjects ALIVE
(see: Geneva Conventions: ; Geneva
Conventions relative to protection of Civilians in time of war:
; UN Genocide Convention:
enocide/convention.html
; UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights:
; UN Rights of the Child
Convention: ).

3. Palestinian, Iraqi and Afghan Genocides – the Palestinian, Iraqi
and Afghan Holocausts. There are about 6 million Palestinian refugees;
about 80,000 flee their Homeland each year; about 80% of West Bank
Christian Arabs have fled; 3.5 million Occupied Palestinians have been
imprisoned by Israel in abusive, illegal and traumatizing conditions
for nearly 40 years; 1.5 million Israeli Arabs are subject to racial
discrimination including the requirement fro compulsory carriage of
race-specifying ID (cf Nazi era Europe).

The UN estimates that 2 million Iraqis have fled their Homeland
and about 100,000 are fleeing US-occupied Iraq each month. There
are about 3.7 million Afghan refugees. Consult UNICEF (see:
) and you will discover that roughly 0.5 million
under-5 year old infants die each year in these Occupied Territories
i.e. 1,300 daily (e.g. on Christmas Day) or one per minute. This is
egregious Genocide as defined by the UN Genocide Convention (see:
e/convention.html ).

US-Israeli State Terrorists (USISTs) and Racist Zionists (RZs)
have been obscenely exploiting the horrendous reality of the
Jewish Holocaust and have also been actively promoting anti-Arab
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and anti-Asian xenophobia that is now
entrenched in the West. As shown by the above statistics, the Racist
Zionists (RZs) and the Racist Bush-ites (RBs) – most notably the
Racist Religious Right Republican (R4) Bush-ites and the Bush-ites of
US lackeys such as the UK and Racist White Australia – are involved
in egregious Holocaust Commission AND Holocaust denial.

Dr Gideon Polya published some 130 works in a 4 decade scientific
career, most recently a huge pharmacological reference text
"Biochemical Targets of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (Taylor &
Francis, New York & London, 2003). He is a Melbourne scientist
and writer and is currently editing a completed book on global
avoidable mortality (numerous articles on this matter can be
found by a simple Google search for "Gideon Polya" and on his
websites: and
) .
