POLICE WERE SLOPPY IN ARTUR BROTHERS PROBE
Story by Stephen Muiruri and Mugumo Munene
Daily Nation , Kenya
Aug. 28, 2006
Police chiefs have been accused of being indifferent and amateurish
in the way they handled the Artur brothers’ saga from the time they
learnt the two were international criminals to when they ordered
their deportation.
People who have read the findings of the Kiruki Commission, which
investigated the saga, said the force has been criticised for:
Failure to act on an Armenia Interpol report, which revealed Mr Artur
Margaryan and Mr Artur Sargsyan were travelling on stolen passports
and were part of an international gang syndicate.
Breaking the force chain of command in investigating the brothers.
The way they handled the breach of security at the Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, which saw the foreigners deported instead of
being arrested and charged.
The way they carried out their investigations after the brothers had
been deported to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
Lack of commitment Those who have seen the report say Chapter Six is
dedicated to how the police handled the entire saga.
They quote the commission as having found out that the “actions
(by police chiefs) showed they lacked commitment, coordination and
professionalism.”
In particular, sources say the report criticises police commissioner
Mohamed Hussein Ali for disregarding the force’s chain of command by
appointing Mr Isaiah Osugo, the then deputy Nairobi provincial CID
chief, to investigate claims by MPs Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka
that the brothers were mercenaries and that they had been hired by
the Government to assassinate them.
Maj-Gen Ali acted in a manner suggesting he had no faith in suspended
CID chief Joseph Kamau and then Nairobi provincial CID chief Sammy
Githui by overlooking them and dealing directly with Mr Osugo, their
junior, sources say.
The matter was taken up by the media as evidence of hostile relations
between the police boss and Mr Kamau. Mr Githui was transferred to
Embu in the same capacity and replaced by Mr Osugo.
The Kiruki commission is understood to have noted that the scope
of Mr Osugo’s investigations seemed to have been expanded later to
include all matters touching on the Armenian brothers.
Those who are familiar with the report say it notes that Mr Kamau,
through his advocate, Mrs Jane Ondieki, told the commission that he
had been deliberately sidelined by Maj-Gen Ali.
They say it recommends that the police department be subjected to
a management audit to establish if the current leadership structure
and functional set-up are relevant.
Redundant structures should be identified and disposed of and officers
assessed for competence.
The audit should be done urgently to avoid a repeat of an incident
such as the JKIA’s, which embarrassed the country locally and
internationally, they quote the commissioners saying.
If the police had taken correct and timely actions, the Arturs
would have been arrested before they could leave JKIA’s baggage hall
after a gun drama. This would have saved the country considerable
embarrassment, the document is reported to say.
The presence of the Arturs was first made known to the police by
public statements made by Mr Odinga and Mr Musyoka in March, when
they claimed that they knew of an assassination plot against them.
The brothers in turn addressed journalists at JKIA and denied the
claims, while alleging that Mr Odinga owed them money and that he
was merely attacking them to avoid repaying it.
On March 15, the Kenyan police wrote to Interpol Armenia seeking
information on Mr Margaryan and Mr Sargsyan concerning their
nationality, occupation and whereabouts, according to evidence before
the commission.
And on two occasions – March 18 and April 3 – Interpol Armenia informed
the police that an impostor was using the name of Artur Margaryan,
which had been reported stolen and replaced. The passport had been
stolen from a tax collector.
As for Mr Artur Sargsyan, the Interpol said that according to the
Armenia’s General Department of combat against organised crime, he
had left Armenia a long time ago for United Arab Emirates and was
wanted for evading military duty, according to the evidence.
Interpol Armenia then sent the photos of the two Arturs and requested
Interpol Kenya to cross-check with the two men, who were then in Kenya,
and notify Armenia on results of any investigations against them.
Interpol also informed the police that the two men had no relationship
with the Armenian Prime Minister and the President as they had claimed
at the JKIA news conference.
Those who have read the report say the commission notes that although
Interpol Armenia responded to all the requests from Interpol Kenya,
the former’s requests were not reciprocated.
They say that although Interpol Kenya was fully informed by their
Armenian counterparts about the Arturs’ criminal record, no attempts
were made to share the data with the immigration department.
Maj-Gen Ali only appointed Mr Osugo to investigate the brothers when
Mr Odinga made the assassination claims.
Amateurish search
The police are taken to task for the manner they carried out a
search at the Arturs’ Runda residence following the deportation,
the sources say.
Although the police knew they had guns, they carried out “an
amateurish” search that took them three days and the recovered items
were not properly accounted for.
The items included two Armenian passports No AB03222223, bearing the
name of Artur Margaryan and No AF0599780 in the name of Artur Sargsyan.
The documents were given to a Mr Gagan Depar to deliver to the Arturs
who had been allegedly stranded at Dubai Airport. Sources say the
Kiruki commission observes that the move was not in order.
They also quote the report as stating that the passports should have
been stamped Prohibited Immigrant (PI) to ensure the two did not
return to Kenya.
Questions were raised on why none of the two Armenians were questioned;
asked to record statements or had their fingerprints/palm and
photographs taken.

TURKS LEAN TOWARD SENDING TROOPS FOR UNIFIL
Compiled by Daily Star staff
Daily Star – Lebanon
Aug. 28, 2006
Cabinet has approved move in principle, will ask parliament to ratify
The Turkish government agreed in principle on Monday to contribute
troops to an expanded United Nations Interim Force in South Lebanon
(UNIFIL). “The issue of the UN peacekeeping force was discussed and
it was decided in principle that we participate in the mission,”
Justice Minister Cemil Cicek told reporters after a cabinet meeting.
NATO member Turkey has good ties with both Israel and the Arab
states. The United States, Israel and Lebanon have all urged Ankara
to take part in the peacekeeping force. The Turkish government will
ask Parliament to reconvene this week or next to approve the troop
deployment, but no details of its size were revealed Monday.
The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) is keen to boost
Turkey’s role in the Middle East but has been concerned about the
UN force’s rules of engagement. Some AKP lawmakers are worried that
Turkish troops may be asked to help disarm Hizbullah and could get
dragged into the conflict with Israel.
However, the Tashnak Party, which represents many members of the
Armenian community in Lebanon, reiterated its opposition to Turkish
participation.
During a visit to the Cypriot and French embassies in Beirut, a
delegation from the party said the Armenians in Lebanon “rejected
the presence of the Turkish Army in Lebanon.” It also submitted
documentation of the military and strategic alliance between Turkey
and Israel.
Also Monday, the Italian Cabinet approved the deployment of 2,500
troops to join the expanded UNIFIL. It also approved a $38 million
aid package for Lebanon.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has asked Italy to command the Lebanon
force as of February 2007, when France’s term is set to expire.
Italian General Fabrizio Castagnetti will head the mission’s new
strategic command center from the peacekeeping department at UN
headquarters in New York.
The Italian decision also authorized a $240 million budget for 2006
operations.
“In the coming hours we will initiate the complex logistics for
the deployment of the Italian forces,” Foreign Minister Massimo
D’Alema said.
The Italian Defense Ministry had said earlier in the day that a naval
task force was already being assembled to transport some 1,000 troops
to Lebanon, including marines and engineering corps specialists.
The task force, led by the aircraft carrier Giuseppe Garibaldi, is
scheduled to set sail Tuesday and reach the Lebanese coast on Friday.
Spain is also preparing to send troops to Lebanon. Spanish Defense
Minister Jose Antonio Alonso will go before Parliament next week
to explain his government’s possible contribution to the emerging
international peacekeeping force in Lebanon, the ministry said Monday.
Alonso will make his case on September 7, but it is not yet known if
there will be a vote the same day, the ministry said.
The Socialist government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
is reportedly considering sending up to 1,000 troops to the new force
being created to monitor a buffer zone in South Lebanon after 34 days
of war. – With agencies

IRAN PLANNING ETHNIC CLEANSING IN IRAQ?
AINA, CA
Assyrian International News Agency
Aug. 28, 2006
Indications are that Ahmadi-Nejad is planning three massive campaigns
of border adjustments and ethnic cleansing on a scale that will make
Slobodan Milosevic look like a petty thief. Ahmadi-Nejad’s threats
against Israel represent only the tip of the iceberg of his plan
to create a new “National Socialist” Middle East. In most danger
following Israel are Iraq, Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states,
Lebanon, and Azerbaijan
First, Iran will drive all the Sunnis from Iraq, and use Iraq to
consolidate Iranian control of Lebanon, Syria, and the Persian Gulf.
To do this, Iran will alter Iraq’s borders and will probably annex
outright eastern Iraq including the Basra region that contains 60%
of Iraq’s proven oil reserves.
In order to partition Iraq, Iran will also encourage Iraqi Kurds, with
whom Tehran already has a political agreement aimed at disenfranchising
the Sunnis, to drive all the Sunnis from Mosul and Kirkuk. The
Kurds would then proclaim an independent Kurdistan, with Kirkuk as
its capital. Kirkuk contains Iraq’s largest oil reserves, following
Basra. Thus, the Sunnis would be deprived of all substantial income
from oil revenue.
Iran’s ethnic cleansing in Iraq would have catastrophic consequences
for the region. For one thing, Iran then would be in a strong
position after challenging Iraq’s borders to challenge Saudi Arabia’s
borders. Specifically, Iran/Iraq would then stir up irredentist
sentiment among Saudi Arabia’s large Shia community abutting Iraq,
which contains the bulk of Saudi oil reserves. Iran could make a
power grab for this territory, which would touch off another round
of ethnic cleansing as the Iraqi-Saudi border is adjusted.
For another ethnic cleansing opportunity, Iran could spur Shia
militancy in the Persian Gulf states like Bahrain. As these states fall
into Iran’s orbit, massive refugee flows of Arabs could ensue.Israel,
Palestine and Lebanon.
Second, Iran will drive all the Jews from Israel, along with the
secular and Christian Palestinians, from “Palestine.” Ahmadi-Nejad
already openly boasts of “wiping Israel from the map.” His pro-Shia
ethnic cleansing for Iraq, Israel and Palestine would put severe
pressure on the Shia in Lebanon, now under Iran/Hezbollah control,
to follow suit with their own copycat ethnic cleansing campaign.Iran,
Azerbaijan and Central Asia.
Third, Iran will then turn on its domestic Azeri community — some
30 million strong and increasingly pro-Turkey.Iran’s Azeris want
no part of an Iranian empire in the region, which at some point
entails Iranian confrontation with Turkey and Azerbaijan. Iran is
already an ally of Armenia, much to the discomfort of Turkey and
Azerbaijan who are locked in a bitter dispute with Armenia over the
future of Nagarno-Karabakh. Iran’s Azeris identify more with Turkey
and Azerbaijan than with Tehran.
In this final round of ethnic cleansing, Iran will send large numbers
of Azeris to Turkey and Azerbaijan to remove a potential threat to
the stability of Iran’s theocratic regime. In a recent provocation,
a leading official Iranian newspaper printed a cartoon depicting
Iran’s Azeris to Turkic-speaking cockroaches, a provocation that led
to days of rioting and several deaths in Iran. Remember, whatever
Ahmadinejad does to the Sunnis, Jews, and non-Islamist Palestinians,
he will do to the Azeris.
To put it another way, if Ahmadinejad chooses to pursue ethnic racist
national socialist policies abroad, beginning in Iraq, he will do
so at home as well. Of course Ahmadi-Nejad’s entire ethnic cleansing
plan is insane. So was Hitler’s plan, but he went ahead anyway.

DASHNAKS WITHDRAW FROM COMMISSION DRAFTING LAW ON ANTHEM
Radio Liberty, Czech Republic
Aug. 28, 2006
The Armenian Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun (ARF)
has announced that it calls back its representative from the
intergovernmental commission tasked with drafting a law “On Armenia’s
Anthem”.
In its statement issued on Monday, the party’s Supreme Council
advocated the reaffirmation of the “Mer Hayrenik” (Our Fatherland)
song as Armenia’s national anthem.
“For unclear reasons the commission considered its task to be the
rejection of the “Mer Hayrenik” (Our Homeland) anthem and replacing
it with a new anthem.
“Propaganda against the song was obvious. The situation becomes
extremely alarming and deplorable when the criteria of national
and state values are replaced with pure artistic preferences,” the
ARF said.
The Mer Hayrenik song had an official status until the short-lived
first independent Armenian republic was incorporated into Soviet
Russia. It was for decades banned by the Soviet authorities before
being reinstated by Armenia’s first post-Communist government in 1990.
Many Armenian music composers and artists disapproved of the move,
saying that the song’s uncomplicated theme is too simple for an anthem
and called for the adoption of a more solemn tune.
Meanwhile, Dashnaktsutyun considers “Mer Hayrenik” to be “an anthem
that has no alternative, an inseparable guide of the liberation
struggle and state building of the Armenian people.”
Dashnaktsutyun’s representative at the commission drafting the law
“On Armenia’s Anthem” is National Assembly deputy Ruben Hovsepian.
