WHO LISTENS TO THIS RADIO CHANNEL?
Azat Artsakh – Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
27 Nov 04
“Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorni Karabakh is on air,” every time
the radio channel “Voice of Justice” starts its programs with these
words. And why in Azerbaijani? Because it is more realistic to present
the problem of Karabakh, the ways of its peaceful settlement and
other actualities of our life to the Azerbaijanis in the Azerbaijani
language. The director of the radio channel M. Hajian informed that
the channel was founded and is funded by a group of businessmen who,
besides politics are interested in the ways of entering the Azerbaijani
market. In reference to the type of its audience, Hajian said that
the radio channel has received a number of letters from Germany,
Finland, Russia, America, New Zealand, Turkey, Japan, which thank
us. The channel began broadcasting programs in August 1997 four
times a week. “We cannot tell how many people exactly listen to us,”
mentioned Hajian, and the reason is the obstacles created by the
Azerbaijani authorities. The news program consists of two parts:
information, and interviews and programs. We are convinced that among
different mass media of Artsakh the “Voice of Justice” will have its
contribution to the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh problem.

MAMEDIAROV: ARMENIA ENDANGERS PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS
Azg/arm
27 Nov 04
A group of experts may be formed within the framework of OSCE Minsk
group to fix Armeniaâ~@~Ys policy of inhabiting the territories
under the control of NKR armed forces. According to Mediamax, this
information was spread by Baku mass media, referring to “the exchange
of views around this issue” that took place during the meeting of
OSCE Minsk group co-chairs Steven Mann (US), Yuri Merzliakov (RF)
and Henry Jackolin (France) with Elmar Mamaediarov, Azeri Foreign
Minister, and Araz Azimov, Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister, in New York.
The current stage of the peaceful negotiations was discussed during
the closed meeting. Mamediarov said that “conducting the policy of
inhabiting, Armenia not only violates the relevant formula of the UN
Security Council and the norms of the international humanitarian right,
but also endangers the peaceful negotiations held by the mediation
of OSCE Minsk group.”
Yerevan keeps saying that no policy of inhabiting is being conducted
in the territories under the control of NKR forces on state level. On
the other hand, Armenia states some Armenian refugee families from
Getashen, Shahumian and Azerbaijan dwell in these territories.
It’s worth reminding that the co-chairs left for New York after
the discussion on “the current situation in Azerbaijan’s occupied
territories” put forward by Azerbaijan at the UN. The OSCE co-chairs
voted against Azerbaijan’s initiative at the UN. Earlier, touching upon
the discussion of Nagorno Karabakh issue at the UN, Steven Mann stated
that the abovementioned issue had been traditionally discussed within
the OSCE framework. In the interview to Freedom radio station he said
that he respects the UN formulae, but, on the other hand, he asked
the question: “Will this step (discussion of Nagorno Karabakh issue
at the UN) yield a progress in the settlement of the conflict?” Mann
said that the sides in conflict should pose this question every time.
The American diplomat considered the resumption of the military actions
“absolutely foolish”. He emphasized that no negotiation on Nagorno
Karabakh settlement was held in 2004. He characterized the meetings
of the foreign ministers as “dialogues and exchange of views”. “If the
negotiation will not be resumed and the positions of the sides remain
unchanged, “neither war, nor peace” situation can last for decades,”
Mann said.

Portraits of Hope: The Armenians, Just Released in Germany, Reflects
in Its Afterword about the Zoryan Institute
Berlin — Verlag Hans Schiler has just released a unique new book
containing fifty-two articles in German by or about Armenia and
Armenians, both in Armenia and in the Diaspora. Released in October,
Portraits of Hope: The Armenians, is aimed at a wide, German-speaking
readership.
The editor, Huberta von Voss-Wittig, has previously published two
books, both translations of literature from French into English. She
explained the idea behind the book. “I started to take an interest
in the Armenians while my husband served as the German Ambassador in
Beirut and Nicosia. As an historian and journalist, I realized how
small my knowledge of the Armenians was. The deeper I got into it,
the more convinced I became that a book had to be written that shows
the human beings behind the mere facts and figures. The Armenians
are practically unknown to the German public today. That is why I
decided to make a book that addresses a wide readership. I convinced a
number of excellent German historians, authors and journalists-many of
them foreign correspondents in various countries for the best German
national newspaper-to contribute to the book.”
The book is divided into three broad sections. After an introduction
by famed Holocaust historian Yehuda Bauer, the first section deals
with Armenian history, and especially the Genocide. It contains
contributions by such renowned experts as Tessa Hoffman, and Zoryan
associated scholars Vahakn Dadrian, Taner Akçam, and Wolfgang Gust.
The second section deals with Armenians in the Diaspora, and is
subdivided into sections on history, literature, religion, art,
film and photography, music, activism, politics & diplomacy, and
“life-pictures.” It contains articles about such notables as Vahakn
Dadrian, Vartan Gregorian, Michael Arlen, Charles Aznavour, Atom
Egoyan, Vartan Oskanian, Catholicos Karekin II, and Catholicos Aram
I. Armenians from all over the world are represented.
The third section, “Places of Memory,” has articles on Armenians
in Jerusalem, Der-el-Zor, Bourj Hammoud, Franz Werfel and Musa
Dagh, the Murder of Talat in Berlin, and the Genocide Memorial at
Dzidzernagapert.
The book’s Afterword, written by K.M. (Greg) Sarkissian, President
of the Zoryan Institute, is a wide ranging essay that describes in
detail the Institute’s twenty-two-year history of accomplishments.
“This is a very important book for several reasons,” stated George
Shirinian, Director of the Zoryan Institute. First, it describes the
interesting and important activities of a number of very talented,
highly motivated, and tenaciously dedicated individuals. Second,
it demonstrates the commitment of Diasporan Armenians to the welfare
of their nation and may serve as an inspiration to others. Third, it
is an unusually broad and comprehensive representation of Armenian
activities, interests, individual voices, and issues. Finally,
as many of the articles stress the importance of the Genocide in
the modern Armenian reality, the book, hopefully, will sensitize
contemporary German society to the need for German historians to
conduct serious research and publish on the role of Germany in the
Armenian Genocide. We should all be grateful for the wonderful book
that Huberta Voss-Wittig has put together, providing us with a deeper
insight into where we have come from as a nation, where we are now,
and where we may be heading.”
While the book is in German, the English language version
of the Afterword is available on the Zoryan web site,

TTELETHON IN SUPPORT TO ARTSAKH REGISTERS FANTASIC SUCCESS
LOS ANGELES, November 26 (Noyan Tapan). Over 11 mln dollars were
colleced during the “Telethon-2004” in support to Nagorno Karabakh
started in Los Angeles on November 25. It is a fantasic result as
compared with the previous telethons. According to the Head Information
Department attached to the NKR President, it was a response of the
Armenian Diaspora to the appeal of NKR President Arkady Ghoukassian,
who is in the United States these days, to compatriots living abroad
to render support to the completion of the construction of the
“North-South” higwhay being of strategic importance for Nagorno
Karabakh.
The most considerable donations were made by such famous Armenian
philanthropists of America as Luis-Simon Manukian (2 mln dollars),
Gevorg Hovnanian, Hrair Hovnanian, Sargis Hakobian, who rendered one
mln dollars each, Caroline Mugar (500,000 dollars), Vahe Karapetian
(100,000 dollars). Eduardo Ernikian, a citizen of Argentina, donated
1,5 mln dollars in support to Artsakh. Russian philanthropist Ara
Abrahamian allocated 250,000 dollars. A total of 1 mln dollars were
recieved from the European countries. The sum of donations made 950,000
dollars in Armenia, and in Nagorno Karabakh it made 160,000 dollars.
The NKR President expressed deep gratitude to all the Diasporan
Armenians for support to Artsakh, as well as to the citizens of Armenia
and Nagorno Karabakh, who took an active part in the telethon and
showed their patriotism and understanding of the importance of the
“North-South” highway in the provision of the military, economic and
social security of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. The NKR President
once again stressed that the Armenian people will be able to achieve
the national goals only due to the joint efforts of Armenia, Artsakh
and the Diaspora.
During Arkady Ghoukassian’s meeting with Zaven Khanjian, the President
of the “Americans for Artsakh” organization, held on the US Western
Coast on November 24, the latter expressed readiness to contribute
to the implementation of a number of projects on the NKR economic
development in Nagorno Karabkh, the improvement of the sphere of
education, the intensification of the cultural exchange between
Artsakh and the Diaspora.
The Union of Armenian Relief also implements its programs in
Artsakh. Arkady Ghoukassian visited their regional office. Different
issues regarding the prospects of cooperation between this organization
and Nagorno Karabakh were touched upon during the conversation.
The necessity of the continuation of the implementation of programs
on the establishment of proper conditions for study and education
of the rising generations in schools of Artsakh was mentioned during
the reception organized this day in honor of the President of Nagorno
Karabakh by the Armenian Educational Union.
Famous philanthropist Mery Najarian expressed her readiness to continue
cooperation with Artsakh in the future. She is one of the founders
of the “Medical Aid to Armenia” organization. The NKR President gave
a high assessment to the benevolent activities of couple Vardges and
Mery Najarians.
The same day, the NKR President had a meeting with Archbishop Mushegh
Martirosian, the Head of the Western Diocese of the Catholicosate
of the Great Cilician House. The Archbishop conveyed the Head of
Nagorno Karabakh the best wishes on behalf of Catholicos of the Great
Cilician House Aram I, as well as the readiness of the Catholicos to
render possible support to Artsakh. Archbishop Pargev Martirosian,
the Head of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, who
is in the United States these days, also participated in the meeting.
During all the meetings in the US the NKR President assured the
participants that Artsakh will not turn off the road of freedom and
independence and will achieve the goals put before it due to the
boosting participation of Armenia and the Armenians of the whole world.

NOVELTY IN ENERGY SYSTEM
Azat Artsakh – Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
23 Nov 04
After the maintenance of the cease-fire considerable work was
done in the energy system of Artsakh through funding of the state
budget, the foundation “Hayastan”, international humanitarian
organizations. Today we may state for sure that the energy system is
the most viable in the economy of the republic. In general processes
a great contribution was made by “Artsakhenergo” State CJSC which
pursues the technical maintenance of the sphere involving its town and
regional branches. Recently the Stepanakert branch of the company has
undertaken a new program. The old electricity meters at 11 Ayvazowsky
Street were replaced by new electronic electricity meters by “Energy”
Ltd. which will implement the replacement of electricity meters of the
houses in the Stepanakert quarters 34, 35 and 36. The director of the
Stepanakert branch of “Artsakhenergo” State CJSC Seyran Zakarian said
that the experimental replacement of electricity meters was successful,
and there will be no more need for control of electricity meters by
the workers of the electricity supply network as the new electronic
meters are directly connected with the main computer of the central
office. This new form of remote computer control allows controlling
the use of electricity, making a quick calculation of the exceeding
waste of energy. And finally the multiple-tariff network will allow
maintaining lower prices for electricity for families in hard social
condition.

Opinion – Armenios: un genocidio no reconocido;
La Nacion (Argentina)
Nov 22, 2004
Desde fines de 1890, una larga serie de asesinatos politicos cometidos
en territorio entonces otomano derivo en lo que, entre 1915 y 1923,
se convirtio en una verdadera ola de matanzas colectivas, a las
que hoy algunos se refieren -genericamente- como el “genocidio de
los armenios”, en el que se estima que habrian perecido mas de un
millon y medio de personas. El inicio de este tragico episodio se
suele ubicar en los asesinatos de decenas de armenios prominentes
que ocurrieran en Constantinopla, el 24 de abril de 1915.
Esta es una cuestion de la que curiosamente, salvo los armenios,
pocos parecen querer hablar. Para referirse a ella se suele entonces
recurrir a toda suerte de eufemismos hipocritas. Entre ellos, “la
masacre de los turcos” o “la tragedia de los armenios”. Cuando se
trata, historicamente, de un verdadero genocidio.
No obstante, nadie ha reconocido hasta ahora -oficialmente- este
genocidio. Ni los Estados Unidos, siquiera. Quien fue el candidato
democrata en las recientes elecciones norteamericanas, el senador John
Kerry, habia prometido que -de imponerse- reconoceria expresamente
el genocidio armenio, sin ambiguedades y de manera explicita. Cabe
apuntar, asimismo, que algo similar habia hecho, cuatro anos atras,
el actual presidente, George W. Bush. Pero, en la realidad, nada
ocurrio. El reciente triunfo republicano parece augurar que esta
cuestion quedara, como hasta ahora, relegada eventualmente al plano
de la academia, con algunas pocas discusiones en un reducido ambito
en el mundo de la politica.
La sensacion es que siempre hay intereses economicos o militares que
evitan analizar, en profundidad, lo que efectivamente sucedio y definir
serenamente -ahora que el tiempo ha disminuido significativamente la
intensidad de las pasiones- la naturaleza del crimen perpetrado. Entre
esas razones siempre invocadas esta, claramente, la importancia
estrategica de Turquia en el conflicto de Medio Oriente y su ponderable
conducta de las ultimas decadas.
El resultado es que se sigue silenciando una tragedia, de espaldas a
la humanidad y al pueblo que la sufrio, como si no importara. Esto es
cerrar las puertas a desentranar la verdad. En un mundo que quiere
ser cada vez mas abierto y transparente, esta actitud no pareceria
ser demasiado coherente. Especialmente para aquellos paises como el
nuestro, Israel y los Estados Unidos, que por una razon u otra han
tenido cercania con episodios de naturaleza similar.

PRESENTI AL CONVEGNO OLTRE 5O VESCOVI DI DIFFERENTI CHIESE
ROMA
(ANSA) – ROMA, 23 NOV – Si apre oggi a Istanbul la Conferenza
ecumenica di vescovi amici del Movimento dei Focolari, che si
terra’ fino al primo dicembre, promossa dal card. Miloslav Vlk,
arcivescovo di Praga. Sulle rive del Bosforo sono attesi oltre 50
Vescovi da 23 Paesi di quattro Continenti, di varie Chiese d’Oriente e

Chiesa indivisa Giovanni Crisostomo e Gregorio di Nazianzo, Vescovi
di Costantinopoli nel IV-V secolo, consegnate da Giovanni Paolo II al
Patriarca Bartolomeo, per felice coincidenza, proprio sabato prossimo.

Volare fa rotta verso l’insolvenza;
Nel frattempo le altre compagnie aeree italiane sono interessatE alle
tratte della societÀ.
di Andrea Montanari
Nel lungo cda i soci studiano la possibilità di non ricapitalizzare
in vista di una legge Marzano appositamente modificata Meridiana, Air
One, Blue Panorama e Alpi Eagles in campo
Volare group fa rotta verso lo stato di insolvenza, passaggio
obbligato per una procedura straordinaria, come una legge Marzano
studiata ad hoc. E l’arrivo di un commissario. Ma intanto gli altri
operatori del settore aereo, anche se la procedura sarà lunga, escono
allo scoperto dichiarando l’intenzione di rilevare rami d’azienda,
senza entrare nel capitale della società. I soci di Volare, nel cda
protrattosi fino alla tarda serata, hanno preso in esame e valutato
l’ipotesi di fare ricorso all’amministrazione straordinaria. Un passo
che si sarebbe reso necessario visto che nessuno degli interventi
(non era presente l’azionista di maggioranza, l’imprenditore armeno
argentino Eduardo Eurnekian, rappresentato da Roberto Naldi) avrebbe
deciso di mettere mano al portafoglio e ricapitalizzare (servono
almeno 60 milioni di euro). Quella di ieri è stata una frenetica
giornata di passione iniziata in tarda mattinata con l’annuncio di un
cda blindato nella sede milanese di Interbanca. Ma a causa
dell’arrivo di centinaia di dipendenti, i consiglieri che temevano
contestazioni hanno deciso di far slittare tutto al pomeriggio, come
inizialmente previsto dalla società. Nel cda serale, iniziato dopo le
18, prima dell’analisi dello stato finanziario e dell’ipotesi
insolvenza sono stati presi in esame i bilanci di tutte le società
del gruppo che ha un indebitamento superiore ai 240 milioni di euro.
I competitor in azione. Meridiana è stata la prima a gettarsi nella
mischia. La compagnia aerea sarda è interessata «a rilevare
l’attività sul mercato nazionale». Anche Air One, nonostante dalla
sede non arrivino conferme ufficiali, sta valutando l’ipotesi di
scendere in pista. Del resto il gruppo che fa riferimento a Carlo
Toto come risulta a MF è «aperto a qualsiasi opportunità e
valutazione». E se« ci fossero delle opportunità», potrebbe
«guardarle». Esce allo scoperto Blue Panorama interessata «ai voli a
lungo raggio, rilevando l’attività e acquisendo gli aerei in leasing
(il 767 bloccato a Dubai) e parte del personale», sostiene a MF il
presidente Franco Pecci, candidatosi anche al ruolo di commissario,
«dopo 39 anni di attività nel settore». Entrare nel capitale’ «No,
non se ne parla. Guardiamo solo ai rami aziendali, alle rotte ai
Caraibi, alle Maldive, a Cuba, a Messico e a alle Mauritius». Alpi
Eagles non ha perso tempo. E si è affrettata a «colmare il vuoto
lasciato da Volare», comunicando nuovi collegamenti giornalieri da
Venezia per la Romania. Ma, a breve, verranno incrementati i voli da
Napoli per Linate. «Abbiamo già fatta la richiesta per tre slot a
Napoli e ci candidiamo per Bari e le altre sedi», dice il presidente
di Paolo Sinigaglia. Sul fronte giudiziario, c’è da registrare il
sequestro effettuato dalla guardia di finanza di tutti i bilanci
dalla nascita di Volare, il 1997. (riproduzione riservata)

Council of Europe monitoring group visits Azeri prisons, meets rights activists
Zerkalo, Baku
20 Nov 04
Text of report by Turkan and Ceyran in Azerbaijani newspaper Zerkalo
on 20 November headlined “Ago Group arrives in Baku” and subheaded
“Having familiarized themselves with the human rights situation,
the guests were quick to visit prisons”
Several rights activists met the Ago Group of the Council of Europe CE
Committee of Ministers headed by Roland Wegener, the German permanent
representative at the CE, at ISR Plaza Hotel in Baku yesterday 19
November.
The group was made of ambassadors from Switzerland, Sweden, the
Netherlands and Turkey, as well as the secretary of the CE Committee of
Ministers, (?Mirel Pauls), a human rights activist, Rena Sadaddinova,
who also attended the meeting, has told Zerkalo.
The Ago Group visited Azerbaijan to monitor how the country was
fulfilling the commitments undertaken before the CE.
Sadaddinova said that the rights activists had provided the guests with
detailed information about the human rights situation in the country
and also on the political situation in Azerbaijan in general. They
said that Azerbaijan was not fulfilling the assumed commitments fully,
she said. For instance, the issue of political prisoners, including
the “October prisoners” – 33 people plus seven opposition leaders
charged with involvement in riots in the wake of the 15 October 2003
presidential elections – remains open.
The meeting also addressed the issue of the ailing political prisoners,
Sardar Hamidov, Rza Quliyev, Natiq Afandiyev, Saxavat Humbatov (from
OPON special-purpose police forces ) and Rafael Ahmadov (the case
of industrialists). “Their further remaining in custody is dangerous
for their lives,” the rights activists said.
It was said at the meeting that the law on public TV is not in line
with the CE standards. The meeting also discussed the state of courts
and the next year’s election of judges. The issue of Yeni Musavat, an
opposition newspaper that has stopped its publication due to financial
problems caused by fines, was addressed at the meeting in particular.
The Ago Group visited prison N 9 during the second half of the day
and met ex-Defence Minister Rahim Qaziyev there. Saddadinova said
that the group then visited the Bayil prison to meet Yeni Musavat’s
Editor-in-Chief Rauf Arifoglu and other opposition leaders. She also
said that today’s (yesterday’s) 19 November ruling by the Appeals
Court which upheld prison sentences for the seven opposition leaders
had driven those struggling for the release of the opposition leaders
to despair. She said that the Ago Group was informed about the unfair
court ruling.
The Ago Group’s hectic day did not stop there. Members of the group
yesterday met leaders of main opposition parties, i.e. the Democratic
Party of Azerbaijan, the Azarbaycan Milli Istiqlal Party, the People’s
Front of Azerbaijan Party PFAP and others, the press service of the
PFAP has told Zerkalo.
The opposition party leaders criticized the country’s social and
political situation. Ali Karimli, leader of the PFAP, said that
Azerbaijan had been deviating from democratic principles over the
four years of its membership of the CE.
Interestingly, the guests were received by Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev after the meeting with the opposition leaders, Trend
reported. The issue of Azerbaijan’s commitments to democratize the
country and ensure political pluralism and the country’s relations with
the Council of Europe in all fields were discussed at the meeting. The
meeting also touched on finding a peaceful settlement to the Nagornyy
Karabakh conflict and considering the issue by PACE’s Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe appropriate structures. Both sides
talked about efforts to develop cooperation in the future.

THE US CAN INTRUDE TURKEY
Azg/arm
24 Nov 04
These words belong to General Necati Ozgen, former commander of Turkish
military academies. Turkish Yeni Sharaf newspaper informed on November
22 that he participated in the recent issue of “Political Arena”
program broadcasted over Turkish TV. In the course of the program,
he stated that “the US can intrude Turkey” and arose bewilderment of
Ali Qrjan, famous political journalist who asked: “How can it happen
Pasha? Will the American soldiers intrude in Turkey after Iraq? Can
it be?”
Necati Ozgen responded the journalist, saying:” Yes, the US can intrude
Turkey â~@¦ For example, from the Southâ~@~SEast of the country.”
The Yeni Sharaf writes that the statement made by the general can have
some grounds, especially when Ozgen is an experienced serviceman in the
issue of Iraq. He has been sent to Northern Iraq for many times. The
general has stated earlier that the US is doomed to failure in Iraq.
