Target for Urban Development in Armenia Results in One More Family Thrown Out of Their Home

December 10, 2009 Armenia, Top News, Video No Comments

The Compulsory Enforcement Service (CES) of Court Decrees attempted to remove the inhabitants of one of the houses on Buzand Street. Homeowner Nune Baghdasaryan’s attorneys had been at the scene before the CES workers. Rights lawyer Edgar Badeyan stated that the plans to demolish the building illegally had been substantially presented to the court. The court, taking the legal justifications as its basis, accepted the statement of claim.

“We presented the notice of the judicial acts, where it is stated that today at 11 pm they will come and raze the building. We asked that a temporary ban be placed on this house, and that nothing be done until a court decision is made, but the court refuses our mediation without any reasons whatsoever,” the rights attorney stated.

After speaking with the rights defender and journalists, CES workers arrived at the scene and without showing a notice of the corresponding decision, they started to remove property from out of the house. The owners of the house and their neighbours attempted to stop such actions, but this only resulted in a skirmish. At that time, president of Community and Rights NGO, Samvel Mkrtchyan, arrived at the scene and also said that CES workers are committing illegal actions, but those same Compulsory Enforcement Service workers pushed Samvel Mkrtchyan aside.

One of the CES workers refused to answer journalists’ questions, saying that all questions should be directed to their press secretary.

A bit later on, the Republic of Armenia Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan arrived at Buzand Street. After his arrival, CES workers ceased their actions. Homeowner Nune Baghdasaryan stated that for the moment she will not be driven out, and it is possible that the decision will be made today. She also said that they have decided to fight till the end and if their voice is not heard in our republic, they are going to turn to the European Court of Human Rights.

After coming out of the house, CES workers headed for the neighbouring house, from where they forced out those inhabitants. The homeowner got so nervous that she almost fainted. Paramedics also arrived at the scene. The homeowner said that they are demanding just compensation and don’t wish to come out of the house till the court makes a decision

The Swedish Parliament Recognizes The Armenian Genocide

March 11, 2010

The massacre of Armenians and other ethnic groups in 1915 was a genocide. This the Swedish Parliament decided with least possible margin on Thursday evening.

By a vote of 131 to 130 the opposition’s reservations became victorious over the committee’s proposal. For this to be possible required four centre-right members to vote against their own parties. This was done by two members of the Liberal Peoples party, one from the Christian Democrats and one maverick MP who formerly belonged to the Moderates.

The government’s line was to not classify the massacre of, among others, Assyrians and Armenians as genocide as it should not be up to politicians to write history.

Davutoglu Reveals Ankara’s Steps if Obama Uses The Term Genocide

March 10, 2010

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had a meeting with Turkish Ambassador to the US Namik Tan, who was recalled to Ankara following the endorsement of the Armenian Genocide Resolution by the US House Foreign Relations Committee.

According to the Turkish Stargazete, Davutoglu-Tan discussed Ankara’s further steps providing US President Barack Obama uses “Genocide” in his April 24 speech.

Thus, providing Obama uses “Genocide”, Ankara will freeze $1,2 billion deal on F-35 fighter jet and 14 CH-47 Chinook helicopter, as well as Patriot Missile sale talks. Ankara will also limit the support to the US over Iran and Afghanistan.

Turkey Urges Obama To Block Armenian Genocide Bill

March 5, 2010

Just hours after recalling its ambassador to Washington, Turkey urged the U.S. government on Friday to thwart further progress of a draft congressional resolution that describes the mass killings and deportations of Armenians by Ottoman forces as genocide.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also warned President Barack Obama against using the word “genocide” in a statement on the issue expected next month. “We expect Obama not to perpetuate or exaggerate this crisis in April,” Davutoglu was reported to say, reiterating Ankara’s strong condemnation of the resolution’s approval by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, indicated that the Obama administration will try to block the resolution’s passage by the full House. In that regard, she downplayed its endorsement by the House panel.  Read more... (612 words)

Azerbaijan May Recall its Ambassador From Washington

March 5, 2010

The Azerbaijani Presidential Administration categorically condemned the adoption of the resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide by the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee.

Such step by the U.S congressmen is mistaken and unfair, Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Socio-Political Department Head Ali Hasanov told reporters.

Hasanov said the Azerbaijani government condemns this step by the U.S. congressmen, and brings to attention that this decision was unilateral, unjust, pro-Armenian and anti-Turk in spirit. “We believe this decision also does not correlate strongly with the interests of the United States and the American people, and seriously damages the international image of this country,” he said.  Read more...

Hillary Clinton Says HR252 Affirming The Armenian Genocide Should Not Proceed

March 5, 2010

Immediately following Thursday’s dramatic House Foreign Affairs Committee vote approving House Resolution 252 affirming the Armenian Genocide, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the resolution should go no further.

While on a tour of Latin America, Clinton said from Costa Rica that the Obama administration has made its intentions clear:

“We do not believe that the full Congress will or should vote on that resolution and we have made that clear to all the parties involved,” Clinton said.

A day earlier, prior to the Committee vote, Clinton had urged Committee Chairman Howard Berman – a 27-year veteran congressman from California – not to bring the resolution to a vote, as had been scheduled since last month. Berman (a cosponsor of HR252), denied the Secretary’s appeal, leading to the narrow (23-22) approval.  Read more... (402 words)
