France pays tribute to late singer Aznavour

France pays tribute to late singer Aznavour
 
 
PARIS (AP) – France paid tribute to Charles Aznavour on Friday in a solemn and subdued ceremony that contrasted sharply with the singer’s joyful character.
 
One of France’s most famous personalities, Aznavour died earlier this week at 94.
 
On a mild, sunny morning in Paris, politicians and celebrities gathered near the site of Napoleon’s tomb in the courtyard of Les Invalides, where French president Emmanuel Macron welcomed Armenia Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. Former French Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy and Francois Hollande and actor Jean-Paul Belmondo were among those attending the ceremony.
 
Aznavour, born to Armenian parents who fled to Paris in the 1920s, became one of the Armenian diaspora’s most recognized voices and a vocal defender during a performing career spanning eight decades.
 
Covered by a French tricolor flag, Aznavour’s coffin arrived in the courtyard carried by military personal to the sound of a traditional Armenian tune. A spray of red, blue and orange flowers – the colors of the Armenian flag – was then laid close to the casket.
 
“Every Armenian sees him as a close relative,” Pashinyan said. “Because Aznavour is the one who lifted Armenia to the roof of the world.”
 
Born Shanoun Varenagh Aznavourian, the singer cut the Armenian suffix from his stage name but never forgot his Armenian roots.
 
Friday’s ceremony in Paris marked the second time in a year that France paid tribute to one of its musical icons after hundreds of thousands gathered on the Champs Elysees in December to mourn the death of Johnny Hallyday.

Azerbaijani press: Zatulin’s statements serve pro-Armenian lobbyists’ interests expert

Emil Lazarian

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 7

By Samir Ali – Trend:

The statement made by deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin during the period of the intensification of the Azerbaijan-Russia relations and meetings between the presidents of the two countries cannot in any way reflect the political will of Russia and its top leadership, editor-in-chief of Baki Xeber newspaper, expert Aydin Guliyev told Trend.

“Zatulin’s words, which do not correspond to the current geopolitical and interstate relations, serve the interests of pro-Armenian lobbyists in the political elite of Russia,” Guliyev said.

“Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s recent inclination towards relatively constructive mutual understanding is directly connected with Russia’s attempts to more effectively influence the settlement of the Karabakh problem,” he added. “Zatulin’s undermining positive Nagorno-Karabakh process under such conditions is actually against Russia’s policy of strengthening regional stability.”

“Another aspect that Zatulin wants to hide is to maintain the presence of Armenia’s armed forces on Azerbaijan’s territories,” he said. “Zatulin’s biased statements are incapable of having any impact on Russia’s official policy.”

Guliyev stressed that the presence of a person, engaged in such a subversive policy, in the committee of the State Duma can play a very destructive role.

“This person does not meet the requirements of the strategy to enhance the role of the CIS in the post-Soviet area,” the expert added.


Azerbaijani press: Azerbaijani MP: Zatulin’s position can be called Armenian lobbying

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 7

By Elchin Mehdiyev – Trend:

Deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin has always been distinguished by his anti-Azerbaijan position, chairman of the Azerbaijani Press Council, MP Aflatun Amashov, told Trend.

Amashov commented on Zatulin’s recent statement regarding Azerbaijan.

“This position can be called Armenian lobbying,” he said. “Such Zatulin’s words as “if military operations begin in Nagorno-Karabakh region, this will lead to the collapse of Azerbaijan” is an absurd product of political adventurism.”

“It is known that Zatulin’s statements have no influence on the public assessment in Azerbaijan,” Amashov said. “He himself knows this very well. Moreover, these statements contradict the state policy of Russia. The main point is that Zatulin always appears in tense political moments.”

“The April fights brought expectations and the scenarios of the Karabakh conflict by a number of Armenian and pro-Armenian ideologues to nothing,” he added.

“The generation who did not see Karabakh mainly fought in the battles, but it is clear that the new generation does not forget Karabakh,” Amashov added. “This aspect has sobered the Armenians. Therefore, Zatulin and people like him are striving to eliminate the atmosphere of fear in Armenian society.”

He added that Azerbaijan constantly demonstrates its commitment to peace negotiations.

“If the war starts again, it will not be considered in the context of violation of the two countries’ negotiation process,” Amashov said. “Of course, the reality has nothing in common with the adventurous views of Zatulin or other pro-Armenian people.”


Azerbaijani press: Political analyst: Azerbaijan-Russia relations irritate pro-Armenian forces

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 7

By Samir Ali – Trend:

Such pro-Armenian forces, as deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee for CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots Konstantin Zatulin can not influence the relations between Azerbaijan and Russia, which are developing at a high level, Azerbaijani MP, political analyst Elman Nasirov told Trend.

“The relations between Azerbaijan and Russia irritate pro-Armenian forces,” he added.

“There are very warm relations between the two peoples and the leaders of the countries,” Nasirov said. “Pro-Armenian forces, seeing this reality, began to fuss. One of them is Zatulin. We know that Zatulin is a tool in the hands of pro-Armenian forces. He always strives to damage the strategic relations between Azerbaijan and Russia.”

“Zatulin accuses Azerbaijan of violating the peace settlement, as well as of military rhetoric,” he added. “Everyone knows that Azerbaijan is a peace-loving country. The reason for not using military force to liberate the occupied Azerbaijani lands is the desire to solve the problem peacefully.”

“Zatulin has been awarded with the ‘Order of Honor’ of the separatist regime created in the occupied Azerbaijani territories,” Nasirov said. “Such irresponsible people, making such statements, undermine the settlement of the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by peaceful means and also want to harm the strategic relations between Azerbaijan and Russia.”

“Zatulin’s such an absurd position is not the position of Russia,” he said. “This is the opinion of a person like Zatulin who serves Armenian interests. Despite this, the leadership of the State Duma of Russia must take measures in connection with such irresponsible behavior of Zatulin because these accusations contradict the Russia-Azerbaijan relations.”

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.


Azerbaijani press: Russian political analyst: Karabakh clan may come to power again in Armenia

Emil Lazarian

Baku, Azerbaijan, Oct. 7

By Matanat Nasibova – Trend:

The current unstable situation in Armenia may again provoke serious unrest amid intense political rivalry in this country, well-known Russian expert and publicist Dmitry Verkhoturov told Trend.

Verkhoturov was commenting on the recent events in Armenia.

According to the Armenian media, after the parliament passed a bill to prevent the dissolution of the National Assembly, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan led people into the street and said at a spontaneous rally about the dismissal of ministers from the Prosperous Armenia and Dashnaktsutyun parties, as well as that after the de jure orders for dismissal come into force, he will resign.

“A lot is at stake: the future political course of Armenia, which predetermines its development, condition and the future as a whole,” Verkhoturov said.

“Of course, supporters of keeping Karabakh under occupation, not to mention those radicals who still dream of including Karabakh into Armenia, will try to thwart any attempt to agree with Azerbaijan on the Karabakh issue, even if we are talking about purely technical issues, such as a negotiation procedure or the ceasefire regime,” he said. “So it is not surprising that these circles held rally in Yerevan in connection with an attempt to hold negotiations in Dushanbe.”

“The current chaos in Armenia is not accidental,” Verkhoturov said.

“The recent conversation between the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Dushanbe was held just a few days before the new unrest in Yerevan,” he added. “I think this is a planned rally aimed at torpedoing the negotiation process to resolve the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.”

Speaking about the confrontation between the Karabakh clan and the current leadership of Armenia, the political analyst stressed that so far the Karabakh clan remains the most organized, as it has the best positions in the system of power and the greatest support.

“They have an idea that promises something to the Armenians as a whole,” he added. “However, it is worth noting that hopes for building a big “Armenian kingdom” are more than illusory, but one must believe in something. Therefore, they may well seize power from Pashinyan, whose rating is rapidly falling inside the country.

Verkhoturov supposes that the Karabakh clan may come to power again in Armenia.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

The 1994 ceasefire agreement was followed by peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.

Karo Karapetyan, nicknamed “Yuvetsi Karo”, was killed in Yerevan due to the gunshot wounds he received from the former deputy of the National Assembly, member of the “Prosperous Armenia” party.


As SHAMSHYAN.com reports, on the night of October 6, a citizen was taken to the “Erebuni” medical center in a dead state with gunshot wounds. The operative group of the Erebuni police department headed by the head of the department Vardan Vardanyan arrived at the hospital.


It is noted that the deceased is Karo Karapetyan, a former deputy of the National Assembly, member of the “Prosperous Armenia” party, nicknamed “Yuvetsi Karo”.


The police and investigators found out that Karapetyan was taken to the hospital from “Aigi” bakery located on Armenakyan street of Nork-Marash administrative district. A criminal case has already been initiated under several articles of the RA Criminal Code.


It is also noted that one more person with gunshot wounds was transferred to Yerevan “St. Grigor Lusavorich” medical center. Police and investigators found firearms, shot shells and traces of blood in one of the private rooms of the said bakery.


Who was Karo Karapetyan?


Karo Karapetyan, whose family, according to press data, owns the Shahumyan wine factory, was elected a member of the National Assembly in 2007 and served two terms in that capacity. 2012 He was also elected deputy on the proportional list of PAP.


He was one of the “silent” deputies who dutifully did not participate in the NA sessions. He was absent from the sessions of the 5th convocation 66 times. Before he became a deputy, his father was a deputy in the National Assembly.


Karo Karapetyan’s relatives and himself have repeatedly appeared in the center of scandalous events. Back in 2009, on the Yeraskh-Yerevan highway, he got into an argument in his car with Artur Zadoyan, a resident of Dvin village, during which Zadoyan hit Karapetyan on the head with an iron rod, who then shot Artur Zadoyan 5 times with a gun attached to him.


Two of the bullets hit Zadoyan’s right shoulder and right leg. Note that Karo Karapetyan stated that Artur Zadoyan ambushed him and wanted to take revenge in order not to pay the 57 thousand dollars owed to him. The investigation of the case was remarkable in the sense that Karo Karapetyan was neither accused nor victimized in this case. And later, the proceedings of the case were suspended.


The MP’s son also appeared in the scandalous story. Vardan Karapetyan: The latter, driving a “Bentley Continental 6.0” car with license plate number 88 RR 888, another Toyota Prado car with license plate number 33 LD 840, violating the traffic rules, accompanied each other. This is only a small part of the stories related to the MP and his relatives.


Her son-in-law was also at the epicenter of the scandal


In 2014, her son-in-law also appeared in a scandalous story Gor Arakelyan, with the participation of which an argument took place in the center of Yerevan, which escalated into shootings.


According to the version, Arakelyan asked a certain Valery Hovhannisyan and Norayr Harutyunyan for a way, but the latter did not give them a way. After that, Gor Arakelyan got out of the car and started arguing with them. After that, Karo Karapetyan fired shots, because of which not only the disputing party was injured, but also bystanders. Scream


Arakelyan was arrested and sentenced to 6.5 years in prison. For the act, Gor Arakelyan was charged with attempted murder, which was later reclassified with a milder charge. And the other side of the dispute, Nerses Melkonyan and Valerik Hovhannisyan, was charged with hooliganism.


But in 2017 In May, it became known that the RA President Serzh Sargsyan granted pardon to Gor Arakelyan, the son-in-law of Yuvetsi Karo, ex-MP Karo Karapetyan.


Months after his release, on January 27, 2018, Gor Arakelyan’s body was found in Yerevan hotel complexes. Advisor to the President of the Investigative Committee Sona Truzyan reported that according to the conclusion of the forensic medical examination of the body, the cause of death of 33-year-old Gor Arakelyan was an acute blood circulation disorder in the brain, an ischemic stroke of the paraventricular regions of the hemispheres. Acute disturbance of the vital functions of the brain.
