“Serzh Sargsyan Is Responsible”

January 12, 2010 Armenia, Video No Comments

ARF representatives are silently awaiting the decision of the Constitutional Court with signs reading “No concessions to Turkey”, “CC, refute the anti-constitutional Protocols” without any screams and are more active when it comes to the issue of the Turkey-Armenia Protocols.

“Why should I believe in the CC when it hasn’t met anybody’s expectations to date? I think that we must demand Serzh Sargsyan’s resignation. He is the one responsible for all this and any reasonable person knows that. The rest are doing what he says and that is my personal opinion. I don’t understand Serzh Sargsyan’s policies. If he is not thinking about the fate of the nation, he doesn’t deserve to be the leader of this nation,” ARF representative Susanna Poghosyan told “A1+” today.

Although protester Aramayis Melikyan doesn’t trust the CC, he hasn’t lost all hope either. “I hope, but am not certain. The entire nation demanded not to sign the Protocols, but the authorities ignored the people’s demand. I don’t think the CC will make a decision that differs from that of the authorities.”

Dashnak Margarita Petrosyan hopes that the CC will realize the importance of its decision. “I simply believe that the remorse of the CC members will awaken at the last minute. After all, this is an issue of the fate of an entire nation.”

If the CC doesn’t recognizes the Turkey-Armenia Protocols as anti-constitutional either, according to protester Boris Mkrtchyan, it will mean that the CC has also joined the RA authorities’ plan of removing Armenians from Armenia.

U.S.-based Vardges Hakobyan traveled to Yerevan today to take part in today’s protest near the CC. “I am not against the establishment of relations with Turkey, but our neighbor Turkey must recognize the atrocities committed in 1915. Does this mean that we must forget Western Armenia or the massacres of one and a half million Armenians? There can be no such thing. Turkey should learn from Germany, which recognized the Jewish Holocaust. Turkey should recognize the Armenian Genocide and after that, we can talk about development of relations. Our authorities must take into account that if they are signing something, they have no right not to deprive us Diaspora Armenians of our rights. The person who is responsible for this is Serzh Sargsyan. The Foreign Minister can’t do anything without him. We want the administration to change. Let them accept their flaws and leave.”

London Editorial: Turkey in “dark ages”

March 19, 2010

(The following editorial is from the London Daily News online journal.)

Turkey once again is retreating into “dark ages mode” with threats by Prime Erdogan following comments during a recent visit to London to expel 100,000 Armenians in Turkey “if necessary I will tell the 100,000: OK, time to go back to your country”.

The issue of the Armenian genocide and the failure by Turkey to recognize this ever happened, not only discredits any aspirations that Turkey has of joining the European Union, but also its supporters which include the current Conservative and Labour party’s in the UK.

March 18, 2010

In commemoration of the 125th anniversary of Shahan Natalie’s birth, the Shahan Natalie Family Foundation invites the public to attend a tribute to the living memory of the internationally known intrepid Armenian thinker, writer, orator, and activist.

The event will take place on Saturday, April 10, 2010, in the Los Angeles Public Library’s Mark Taper Auditorium. Preceding the afternoon program, Sylva Natalie Manoogian will lead a Hye (Armenian) Treasures tour of the Central Library’s resources, Asbarez.com reported.

Born in the village of Husenik, province of Kharberd, Historic Armenia, Shahan Natalie (born Hagop Der Hagopian) was orphaned at the age of 11, during the 1895 Hamidian massacres of the Armenians. He was sent to Istanbul and was accepted by the famed Berberian Academy, where his literary career and community activism were launched.

British Justice Minister Tells Erdogan the Armenian Genocide Bill Will Not Pass

March 17, 2010

British Justice Minister Jack Straw on Tuesday assured Turkey’s Prime Minister that Parliament would not pass a resolution recognizing the Ottoman-era killings of Armenians as genocide, CNNTürk reported.

“The chance of this becoming law is zero. I can assure everyone on this issue, Straw said.

After the Swedish parliament adopted an Armenian genocide resolution last week, many have turned their attention to the British Parliament, where a draft will be submitted to a House of Commons committee after a second reading on April 30.

If it is approved, an Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day will be established in the country.

“The English government and the opposition do not support this draft,” Straw said.

Davutoglu Speaks Out Against Deporting Armenians Living in Turkey Without Status

March 16, 2010

To deport citizens of Armenia living illegally in Turkey means to give a “winning card” to those countries who come out against Turkey, said Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs Ahmet Davutoglu during a closed-door meeting of the foreign affairs committee of Turkey’s Grand National Assembly, responding to opposition People’s Republican Party MP Canan Arıtman’s earlier statements which suggested deporting all Armenian citizens.

“Such a step would become a winning card in the hands of those countries who are against us. In addition, all of the world’s countries’ papers will publish articles about deported Armenians. A nationalist image would form, [and] Turkey will be in a more difficult situation,” said Davutoglu.
