Investigation launched as Turkish Foreign Ministry mistakenly publishes Tsitsernakaberd picture on official calendar

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has “mistakenly” published a picture of the Armenian Genocide Monument - Tsitsernakaberd on an official day planner, prepared to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Canakkale in World War I, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
A picture of the monument in Yerevan is included on the April page of the planner.
A Foreign Ministry official told the Hurriyet Daily News that the picture had been “accidentally included with other photographs.”
An investigation has been launched into the mistake and the individual responsible will be punished, the official said, adding that most of the day planners have yet to be distributed.
The official strongly refuted claims that the picture is part of a new “Armenian opening” on the part of Ankara, stressing that elements of any opening on dialogue with Armenians are delivered either by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan or Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu.

Turkish citizen to sue Armenia

Turkish citizen, resident of Erzurum Coskun Isik is going to file a lawsuit against Armenia. He will be the first Turk to personally sue Armenia, Ermenihaber.am reports, citing ensonhaber.com.
According to the source, Isik decided to sue Armenia as a response to the lawsuit filed by the Armenian community against Turkey seeking the return of the Presidential Palace in Ankara, until recently occupied by Erdogan and previous Turkish presidents, and Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport.
The Turkish website says that Coskun Isik will demand that Armenia return Almavir village, which was formerly populated by Muslims.
Isik said that he is taking that move since the Turkish government does not oppose the claims of the Armenians.
“As a citizen of Turkey, as a resident of Erzurum, I will file a lawsuit against Armenians, based on the documents at my disposal,” he said.

Azerbaijans Academy of Sciences Plans to Rewrite Azeri History
BAKUAzerbaijans Academy of Sciences is planning to rewrite the history of Azerbaijan, laying new territorial claims on Armenia and Georgia.
Director of the Institute of History of the National Academy of Sciences and Member of Parliament Yagub Mahmudov told APA news agency that Azeri history has been falsified by Soviet historians and need to be rewritten to reflect Azerbaijans real history.
Mahmudov says that Nakhijevan, Artsakh, and Yerevan are parts of ancient Azerbaijan. Mahmudov says that these claims are unknown because Azerbaijans history has been forged since the Gulistan and Turkmenchay agreements.

In his interview Yagub Mahmudov has also touched upon the history of Dagestan. No one can deny that Derbent is an Azerbaijani city as Dagestan has been founded on Azerbaijani lands. How can you forget it? It is possible that some will get offended, however we will rewrite the history of Azerbaijan during the Soviet period, the historian said.
Mahmudov also expressed his opinion about the native peoples that exist in Azerbaijani controlled territories such as the Lezgins and Talysh. The Azeri academic said he had no praises for Lezgins because, according to him, during the Second World War many of them took the side of the Nazis.
The historian did not neglect to also speak about the Georgian monastery complex of David Gareji (called Keshik Dag by Azeris). He claims that the monastery is an ancient Albanian chapel and that claims of ownership by Georgians is misguided.
Georgia claims that the territory up to Shamakhi is Georgian. If Georgians continue to impose such requirements, Azerbaijan, in its turn, will claim that Tbilisi has been a Muslim emirate, Mahmudov said. It is necessary to ask Georgians: where have the residencies of the Emir of Tbilisi gone? Or, how can we see today the Mosque built by Shah Abbas on the river Kur? All these buildings have been razed to the ground, and we currently are studying this issue.
The Georgian monastic complex of David Gareji is situated some 60 kilometers from Tbilisi, on the half-desert slopes of Mount Gareja at the Georgian-Azerbaijani border. A part of the complex lies on the Azeri side of the border, and the site has become subject to a border dispute between the two countries.

Angry Indian bride marries wedding guest

An Indian bride has married a guest at her wedding after her groom-to-be had a seizure and collapsed, the BBC reported.
Reports said the groom, Jugal Kishore, was epileptic and he had kept the information from the bride, Indira, and her family.
While Mr Kishore was taken to the hospital, the angry bride decided to switch husbands.
She asked a member of her brother-in-law's family, who was a guest, to step in and marry her instead. He agreed.
The incident took place in Rampur town in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
According to a report in The Times of India, Mr Kishore, 25, fell to the ground in front of the wedding guests just as he was reaching out to garland Indira.
On his return from the hospital, Mr Kishore pleaded with Indira to change her mind, telling her that he would be ridiculed by friends and relatives if he went home without a bride, but she refused.
Local police official Ram Khiladi Solanki told the BBC that Mr Kishore and his family were initially upset and lodged a complaint with the police.
"But since the bride is already married now, what can anyone do? So the families have resolved the matter and the complaint has been withdrawn," he added.

Report: Saudi men detained for dancing at birthday party

By ABDULLAH AL-SHIHRI and AYA BATRAWY 1 hour ago
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) Saudi Arabia's morality police detained a group of young men for dancing at a birthday party and referred them to prosecutors, according to a state-linked media report.
The news website Ayn al-Youm reported Saturday that the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice raided a private property in the city of Buraydah, arresting the men inside for "loud music and inappropriate dancing."
Buraydah is the provincial capital of Saudi Arabia's Qassim province, which is home to some of the kingdom's most conservative clerics, who practice a strict interpretation of Islam known as Wahhabism.
An unnamed official told the website that when members of the morality police raided the private property, they found the young men in "a comprising situation in their dance and shameful movements." The official said there was also a cake and candles to celebrate one of the men's birthdays.
No details were released about how many men were arrested or their ages. The official did, however, say that the young men's hairstyles and dress were not traditional, and urged parents to monitor this kind of behavior "because it can lead to immorality and even homosexuality."
A hashtag on Twitter quickly went viral about the arrest, with many Saudis ridiculing the raid and pointing out that the men were not caught drinking alcohol or partying with women both crimes in Saudi Arabia.
Others shared photos of Saudi royals performing a traditional men's sword dance, though supporters of the raid claim that form of dance is socially acceptable and "masculine."
Wahhabi clerics view Western music as sinful and birthday celebrations as un-Islamic. The morality police are empowered to enforce Islamic law as practiced in Saudi Arabia, including enforcing dress codes.
Shortly after King Salman ascended to the throne last month, he relieved Sheikh Abdullatif al-Sheikh seen as a reformer as head of the religious police and appointed Sheikh Abdulrahman al-Sanad to lead the force.

Uproar Over Plans to Pay Turkish Men 'Prostitute Allowance'

© AFP 2015
Life
18:58 20.02.2015(updated 19:18 20.02.2015)


An attorney in Turkey has caused widespread outrage after suggesting
single men should be given a government pension to pay for sex with
prostitutes.

Yazuv Balkan put forward the plans to pay single men a 'sexual
necessity credit' of 75 Turkish lira (£19) per week as part of an
attempt to curb the levels of rape and violence against women in
Turkey.

Balkan's bizarre suggestion has drawn the ire of many female activists
and members of the general public alike after he said that male
aggression was a result of sexual frustration, and providing money to
single men to have sex with prostitutes would alleviate the risk of
further abuse to women.

He was quoted in the local Turkish media saying: "If men can meet
their sexual needs, I am confident that 99% of female murders will be
eliminated."

Increase in Violence Against Women

The heavily criticised proposals come amid serious debate in Turkey
about what can be done to stem the high rates of murder, violent and
sexual assaults committed against women.

The Turkish government has set up a parliamentary commission to
investigate violence against women, which statistics have shown has
skyrocketed dramatically in recent years.

Official government figures revealed that there had been a 1,400 per
cent increase in the number of murdered women in Turkey between 2003
and 2010, however many human rights activists have stated that many of
the crimes committed against women weren't previously reported as
murders, which may be a reason behind the dramatic increase in
statistics.

Some researchers have also cited historical factors as a reason behind
the gulf between the rights for men and women, despite women being
granted legal equality in many areas.

The Concept of 'Honour'

The concept of 'honour' in Turkish culture has been blamed as a major
factor contributing to domestic violence against women, with many
people not willing to intervene if they see a women being abused by a
partner.

Mass Protests in Turkey After Student Murdered and Burnt in Attempted Rape

There is a grey area in Turkish society surrounding the debate of
whether a woman can be abused for bringing dishonour to her family or
community, and how severe the punishment should be.

In May last year, a woman was beaten to death in broad daylight in
Turkey's Mulga province, in an example of honour-based violence.

One of the female witnesses to the crime told media organisation Al-Monitor:

"We do not want to be involved in a private family matter. It is
between a man and a woman. A woman is like a fig tree. If a branch is
infested with worms, you must cut the tree or your entire orchard will
be lost."

These attitudes, along with suggestions of introducing a 'prostitute
pension' have raised many questions about the value given to women in
Turkish society and sparked debate about if and when these trends will
change.

In order to combat the ongoing effects of honour-based violence, a
refuge for Middle Eastern and North African women at risk of
honour-based abuse is set to be opened in London, to provide support
and assistance to those affected.

AZERI DEFENCE CHIEF VOWS CRUSHING BLOW AT ARMENIA IF LANDS NOT LIBERATED


APA news agency, Azerbaijan
March 23 2015

The Azerbaijan defence minister has pledged a crushing blow at Armenia
if "it does not voluntarily abandon our lands."

Col-Gen Zakir Hasanov made the remarks while inspecting military
units stationed along the front line on the occasion of Novruz holiday.

"I am clearly stating that in the very first strike we will destroy
70 per cent of them [adversary]. We have so many weapons and equipment
that if we hit Armenia, they will not be able to recover for hundreds
of years. Armenians should understand this until it is not too late
and leave our lands on their own," the minister said.

Zakir Hasanov said that "there can be no doubt" that Azerbaijan will
regain control over its breakaway Nagornyy Karabakh region and the
seven surrounding districts that have come under the control of ethnic
Armenians in the war since early 1990s.

"We must expel the invaders out of our lands. We are capable to do
that and we will do it," he added. The minister also spoke about the
army-building process, saying that President Ilham Aliyev is doing
his best for the strengthening of the army.

"Our armed forces are growing stronger day by day, new weapons and
equipment are procured... It is high time. We will liberate our lands
in a short period of time. You have watched Commander-in-Chief's Novruz
speech. The president said that we will return to our historical
lands. We will return to Iravan [Yerevan], Zangazur, Susa and
Xankandi. This will certainly happen and nobody should doubt it,"
Zakir Hasanov said.

"The enemy is in panic. We strike such blows at them that they run
scared. They do not want to serve on the front line any more and
leave the trenches. They are forced to deploy civilians in the posts,"
the minister went on saying.

ERDOGAN: ARMENIA FIXED APRIL 24 CEREMONIES TO COINCIDE WITH GALLIPOLI EVENTS

14:33, 30.03.2015
Region:Armenia, Turkey
Theme: Politics

President of Turkey said Armenia had fixed April 24 date to coincide
with the anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli.

In an interview with France 24 television, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
Turkey is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli Battles
and "we are in no position to obtain permission from Armenia".

"It is a date in history and it has nothing to do with the ceremonies
in Armenia. Quite on the contrary, they fixed their ceremonies to
coincide with our date," Erdogan said.

Speaking about problems between Armenia and Turkey, he said it was
Ankara that always "took a positive step"and "extended our hand
in peace".

MUSLIMS PRAISE KEY MIDEAST LEADER 'LIKE GOD'

World News Daily
April 6 2015

Supporters say he has 'all the attributes of Allah'

Leo Hohmann

Reports continue to pop up in Middle East publications that Turkey's
leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is seen within his ruling AK Party as
more than just a president.

Consider the following reports out of Turkey:

A billboard has appeared in the GölbaÅ~_ı district of Adıyaman
province inviting people to attend a "holy birthday" event to celebrate
Erdogan's birthday. The negative reaction this billboard received
on social media stems from the fact that such an event is usually
held to celebrate the birth of the Prophet Muhammad. The billboard
was an invitation to "a program of unity and togetherness organized
on the occasion of the birthday of our president." The event was
organized by the GölbaÅ~_ı Municipality, reported Today's Zaman,
a secular Turkish newspaper. No government officials or supporters
have objected to the billboard or the statements.

AK Party Bursa deputy Huseyin Å~^ahin said touching Erdogan is a form
of prayer, while AK Party Duzce deputy Fevai Arslan said Erdogan has
"all the attributes" of God.

Last year during a political rally, as a woman fainted, Erdogan
gestured to the crowd to carry the woman up to the platform, where he
touched her, causing her to shake out of her spell, shouting, "Allah
Akbar!" The headline at Vocativ.com read: "Prime Minister 'heals'
sick woman on campaign trail." (Watch video of the "healing" here.)

A March 30 article for Al Monitor by columnist Mustafa Akyol notes
that devotion to Erdogan or "Erdoganism" is "morphing into an ideology
unto itself, disillusioning veterans of Turkey's Islamist movement."

Akyol, whose articles also appear in the International New York Times,
the Wall Street Journal and the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News, wrote:

"Pro-Erdogan propaganda, to which almost half the Turkish media is now
fully devoted, has taken the shape of a cult of personality, which is
also not a typical Islamist phenomenon. A recent book, 'Recep Tayyip
Erdogan: The Sun of the Age,' proudly refers to him as 'an idol for our
youth,' which would sound bizarre, if not heretical, to the average
Islamist. In 2011, an AKP deputy declared, 'Even touching Erdogan is
a form of worship,' and in 2014 another AKP deputy proclaimed that
Erdogan 'carries all the attributes of Allah in himself.' Such views,
heretical from a traditional Islamic perspective, were criticized and
ridiculed by Erdogan's opponents, but he conspicuously said nothing."

Voice crying in the wilderness

Joel Richardson, author of "The Islamic Antichrist" and director of
the documentary film "End Times Eyewitness," does not believe Erdogan
is the Antichrist. But he has been warning for years that something
is going on in Turkey worth watching, and that this country of 78
million people and home to the region's largest army could ultimately
be more dangerous than ISIS or even Iran. In short, it is fertile
ground for an antichrist figure to rise up and lead a large portion
of the world's 1.5 million Muslims.

The acclaimed documentary film "End Times Eyewitness" explores what
Christian, Muslim and Jewish leaders in the Middle East are saying
about the times in which we live, the prospect of rebuilding the
Jewish Temple and the return of a messianic figure in the last days.

It's available in the WND Superstore.

It should be remembered that the death toll caused by ISIS, which
has shocked the world with its brutality toward Christians and other
religious minorities, is still miniscule compared to the genocidal
feats of the Ottoman Empire, which slaughtered 1.5 million Armenian
Christians and another million or so Greek Orthodox, Syriac Orthodox
and Protestant Christians. The 100th anniversary of the Armenian
genocide is being commemorated on April 24.

What do YOU think? Where will the Antichrist come from? Sound off in
the WND Poll

More than four years ago, while being interviewed for Glenn Beck's
documentary, "Rumors of War Part 2," Richardson made the statement
that in Erdogan, "We have the modern-day Adolf Hitler of the Middle
East emerging right before our eyes."

This seemed like an extreme statement to make at the time. But in
light of recent developments, Richardson's assessment of Erdogan now
appears less controversial.

"He is a megalomaniacal dictator of the worst stripe, in a nation
where nationalism is a religion, and that celebrates excessive exalted
leadership like their Sultans of the past," Richardson told WND.

It is nearly impossible for most Americans to grasp the degree of
nationalism that exists in Turkey, he said.

That's why he tried to provide a taste of the leader-worship during a
rally he filmed for "End Times Eyewitness." Richardson gives viewers
of this documentary a front-row seat at an AKP rally in which a sea of
adoring fans wave flags and chant songs to exult their leader, Erdogan.

Watch clip of Nazi-like rally in Turkey captured by the documentary
"End Times Eyewithness."

"When we look back at the Nazi rallies, we recoil at the way Germans
had an almost religious devotion to their nation and to their leader,
Adolf Hitler," Richardson says. "Although there is a strong contingency
of those who do not support Erdogan in Turkey, for those of the AK
party who do, their support for him is nearly religious."

Man of the hour?

Not only is Erdogan the embodiment of Turkish success over the past
decade, but more importantly, he is the embodiment of Turkey's future
aspirations, specifically at a time when many Muslims believe Islam
is rising up to take its rightful place in the world.

It remains to be seen whether Erdogan's god-like appeal among his
own party in Turkey will translate beyond his borders. Right now
he is just one of several international Muslim leaders competing
for influence among the wider "uma" of Muslim believers. Abu Bakr
Al-Baghdadi, the leaver of the ISIS caliphate, would surely have
something to say about who leads the restored Ottoman Empire.

"As so much of the Muslim world now believes that we are on the very
cusp of the messianic age or the age of the Mahdi, Erdogan is looked to
(by his followers) as the chosen one, poised to lead the Turks into a
position of exalted leadership over the Islamic community, and thus
the world," Richardson said. "In the eyes of many religious Turks,
Erdogan is the one who will forever enshrine the Turkish people as
divinely ones, the race called by Allah to lead the world."

Some Christian prophecy watchers, such as Walid Shoebat, believe
Erdogan is essentially claiming to be God by not rebuking those who
have anointed him with such lofty status.

Richardson doesn't go this far.

"This isn't really true, although he is most certainly pushing the
boundaries of orthodox Islam and upsetting some imams in the process,"
he said. "In the same way that President Obama imbibed upon and played
up the messianic devotion that swirled around him during his candidacy,
so also is Erdogan playing the Mahdi card."

The similarities between Nazi Germany and present-day Turkey can be
seen in numerous ways.

It is plainly evident in the philosophy of Turkey's prime minister,
Ahmet Davutoglu, who is the architect of the Islamist party of Turkey's
rise to success over the past decade.

In his 2001 book, "Strategic Depth," Davutoglu draws upon the political
philosophy of German Karl Haushofer, who popularized the idea of
Lebensraum, or living space, a phrase employed by Germany during
the 1920s and 1930s to emphasize the need to expand its borders into
Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia and beyond.

Davutoglu believes the nations established after the breakup of the
Ottoman Empire are artificial Western creations.

"Turkey must reclaim these nations in order to carve out its own
Lebensraum - a phrase he uses unapologetically throughout his book,"
Richardson said. "Davutoglu argues that reclaiming the nations that
comprise the former Ottoman Empire is an act of saving them. He
believes it would bring about the cultural and economic unification
of the Islamic world, which Turkey will lead into the messianic era."

And every messianic era needs a messiah.

"In the imagination of many Turks, Erdogan is the man to fill this
role," Richardson said.

"In the years ahead, the world must keep its eyes on the profoundly
dangerous combination of Islamism and messianic nationalism that has
arisen in Turkey," he said. "Never before have we seen a moment where
so many dangerous trends are all emerging at the same time."

ERDOGAN SLAMS POPE, WARNS HIM ON REPEATING ARMENIAN "GENOCIDE" REMARK

Deutsche Presse-Agentur, Germany
April 14, 2015 Tuesday 3:00 PM EST

Istanbul

DPA POLITICS Vatican Armenia Turkey diplomacy Erdogan slams pope,
warns him on repeating Armenian "genocide" remark Istanbul Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday accused Pope Francis of
speaking "nonsense" and cautioned the Catholic leader not to repeat
remarks about the Armenians being victims of "genocide."

At St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican on Sunday, the pope described the
Armenians as the victims of "the first genocide of the 20th century,"
rankling Turkey, which immediately recalled its ambassador to the
Vatican for consultations in Ankara.

"The honorable pope will likely not make this mistake again," Erdogan
lashed out during a conference of Turkish exporters in Ankara, adding
that he was "warning" the Catholic leader.

"When politicians and clerics take on the work of historians, it is
not the truth that comes out but rather, like today, nonsense."

Turkish officials have slammed the pope's remarks as historically
"false."

Turkey denies that the killing and mass deportation of Armenians
in the final years of the Ottoman Empire during World War I was
genocide. Armenians say up to 1.5 million people were killed.

Turkey will also have to deal with a vote in the European Parliament
on Wednesday on a resolution which calls for joining "the commemoration
of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide."

The legislative body of the European bloc in 1987 recognized the
events as genocide. Several European nations have also recognized
the massacres as such, though others have refrained from doing so,
some fearing damage to their relations with Turkey.

On Monday, a spokesman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon had
desribed the killings as an "atrocity crime," and not genocide.

Turkey, the successor state to the Ottoman Empire, says both Turks and
Armenians were killed in unrest during the war and accuses Armenia
of inflating the number of people who died. The deportations were
said to be for security reasons.

Official commemorations of the massacres are to take place on April
24 in Armenia. Memorial events are also scheduled in Istanbul, where
on that day in 1915 more than 200 Armenian community leaders were
rounded up by police to be deported.

PRO-GOVERNMENT COLUMNIST CLAIMS ARMENIANS PAID VATICAN FOR GENOCIDE REMARKS

Today's Zaman, Turkey
April 16 2015

Sabah daily columnist Mehmet Barlas. (Photo: Today's Zaman, Turgut
Engin)

April 16, 2015, Thursday/ 18:05:15/ TODAY'S ZAMAN / ANKARA

A columnist for the pro-government Sabah daily has put forward the idea
that the Vatican may have received money from the Armenian diaspora
living in the US in exchange for Pope Francis' description of the mass
killings of Armenians under Ottoman rule at the end of World War I as
"genocide."

Saying in his column on Wednesday that the Vatican must have been
"short of money," Mehmet Barlas suggested that members of the Armenian
diaspora in the US may have transferred $25 billion to the Institute
for the Works of Religion, commonly known as the Vatican Bank. The bank
is a privately held body in the Vatican City and is run by a board that
reports to a supervisory commission made up of cardinals and the pope.

According to Barlas, after the $25 billion transaction, the pope
used the word "genocide" during Mass last Sunday. The pope's remarks
prompted strong criticism from the Turkish government.

Referring to a book called "God's Bankers: A History of Money and
Power at the Vatican" by Gerald Posner, Barlas claimed that the Vatican
Bank has been a center for murky relationships since its establishment.

"Never say never," Barlas said with regards to a possible connection
between the Vatican and the Armenian diaspora and speculated that
Kirk Kerkorian, an Armenian-American businessman from Las Vegas,
may have been behind the deal. Barlas added that if Jesus could see
what had happened, he would be revolted. He even suggested that if
the right amount of money was paid to the Vatican Bank, the pope may
even condemn the Fourth Crusade, which reached Anatolia in 1204 A.D.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's son-in­-law Berat Albayrak and
his brother Serhat Albayrak are alleged to manage Sabah and the
ATV station.

The involvement of the National Intelligence Organization (MÄ°T)
in disclosing the private data of citizens to pro-government media
in order to advance the interests of Erdogan and his allies in the
government was exposed last year when a Twitter account leaked a
voice recording of a conversation allegedly between Erdogan and his
son Bilal a day after the Dec. 17, 2013 graft scandal in which the
two discussed the headlines of pro-government newspapers.

In the recording, Bilal tells his father that he met with Berat
Albayrak and Serhat Albayrak to decide on the headlines of the
pro-government media outlets for the coming day and that he would wait
for confirmation from his father. "We have to do something to make
them [the Hizmet movement, a faith-based civil society organization]
pay the price so that they will know their place. This job will be
finished. Something must be done until we reach the one at the top
[referring to Fethullah Gulen]," Bilal tells Erdogan in the recording.

Bilal then asks his father to order MÄ°T to provide a background
check on Hizmet, such as documents or inside information about its
operation or internal structure. Then-Prime Minister Erdogan answers
his son's request by saying that he will take care of it. Bilal says
pro-government reporters are finding information via their own sources

14:15, 18 April, 2015


YEREVAN, 18 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. As we approach the Centennial of the
Armenian Genocide, the President of Turkey is trying to let the world
know about its policy of denial by putting on different kinds of
shows. This time Recep Tayyib ErdoÄ?an has decided to meet with Turkish
historians and academics at his residence to discuss `the events of
1915', as `Armenpress' reports, according to aktifmedya.com.

According to the source, during the April 21 meeting, ErdoÄ?an will
discuss the events of 1915 with experts on Armenian issues with the
purpose of creating a task force that will be in charge of dealing
with these issues.

Here is one of those pseudo historian, who says that Armenians killed Armenians Wow!

TURKISH SCHOLAR CLAIMS OTTOMAN ARMENIANS KILLED THEIR OWN PEOPLE


Hurriyet Daily News, Turkey
April 22 2015

KAYSERÄ°

A scholar from a university in central Turkey has claimed
well-disguised Ottoman Armenians attacked their own villages in 1915
to win independence from the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

"According to our studies in the Ottoman archives, Armenians wore the
clothing of Kurdish, Laz, Circassian and Turkish peoples in Anatolia
and raided their own villages, killing their own people for the sake
of winning independence," associate professor doctor Cevdet Kırpık
from Erciyes University in the Kayseri province told the state-run
Anadolu Agency on April 22.

As the only large non-Turkic, non-Muslim nation remaining in the
Ottoman Empire during the 1870s, Kırpık suggested that Armenians
decided to resort to "rebellion and terror" to secede like Serbia,
Bulgaria and Montenegro had previously done. "By raiding their
villages in Turkish clothes, they were trying to provoke Armenians
against the Ottomans," he said, adding the Ottoman state caught and
killed some assailants during their attacks on Armenian villages.

The Turkish scholar's unconventional explanation for the many deaths
of Ottoman Armenians came days before the tragedy's centennial
anniversary.

Armenia says up to 1.5 million Ottoman Armenians were killed in
a genocide which began in 1915. Turkey denies the deaths amount
to genocide, saying the death toll of Armenians killed during mass
deportations has been inflated and that those killed in 1915 and 1916
were victims of general unrest during World War I.

ISIS SENDS CONGRATULATORY NOTE TO TURKISH LEADER ON ANNIVERSARY OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE


The Israeli Daily
April 2015

by Cliff Magnum

The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan received an unexpected
show of support from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria on the
centennial of the massacres that killed an estimated 1.5 million
Armenians.

"Your modesty about Turkey's involvement is endearing. Your people
have showed generations of young, insecure Jihadists everywhere that,
with just a bit of stick-to-itiveness, it is in fact possible to
obliterate crusader armies. The devil worshippers have been looking
over their shoulders ever since the Ottoman Empire went apeshit in
1915. Thank you," ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi wrote to Erdogan.

In response, the Turkish leader said during a television interview,
"The Western world supports Armenian lies and sides with hatred. We
continue to maintain that almost two-million Armenians perished
as a result of a curiously undocumented 8.5 magnitude earthquake
during World War I. Still, we are proud of our growing relationship
with ISIS and look forward to meeting all the organization's future
ransom demands."

In another sign of the strengthening ties between Ankara and ISIS, the
militant group recently made the turkey club sandwich its official,
mandatory meal. "Yes, Islam prohibits pork, which is why we use soy
protein bacon strips. Allahu Akbar and Bon appetite, y'all! "
The
Islamic State's Executive Chef Ramzi Ghannam said.

BAKU GOT NATIVES TO POSE AS FOREIGN TOURISTS PRAISING AZERBAIJAN

15:33, 18 Jun 2015
Siranush Ghazanchyan

A propaganda campaign to drum up support for the Olympic European
Games is fuel for memes.

The first Olympic European Games are currently underway in Azerbaijan,
and President Ilham Aliyev is extremely worried about his nation's
image. So much so that pro-government TV stations have been dressing
up native Azerbaijanis as foreign tourists or getting sympathetic
vacationers to praise the oil-rich Caucasian country in outlandish
terms, The Daily Beast reveals.

On Lider TV, for instance, a channel owned by one of Aliyev's cousins,
carried this brief but hilarious exchange with a young man who
identifies himself in heavily accented English as "James Bonner." He
claims to have come from London on his first ever trip to "beautiful"
Baku, which he describes as "a very fantasy, just fantasy." Also, the
food is "really, really, really good, very good."He would certainly
know since James Bonner is in fact an Azeri-born man called Seymur
Safarov, from the Jebrail region, according to Emin Milli,
the
managing director of independent Meydan TV and a recent contributor
to The Daily Beast.

Clever social media sleuths at Meydan found Safarov's original
Facebook page, where he's dressed exactly the same as he was for
his Lider spot.ANS TV, another pro-Aliyev outlet, aired a testimony
from a vacationing Russian who says that he's been to Hawaii and the
archipelago has got nothing on the glorious Caspian Sea, a body of
water where most of the aquatic life has disappeared due to overfishing
and pollution--120,000 tons of sludge per year dropped by oil tankers,
by one estimate."People started to ridicule the government's stupid
idea to fake even tourists," Milli said.

Meydan TV, for instance, published a cartoon showing grey, drab
Azeris being put through a metamorphosis machine and coming out
beamish citizens of rich European nations, ready for their close-ups
on state-friendly television.

IT'S NOTHING BUT CIRCUS

Friday, 06 November 2015

Azerbaijan sent a letter of protest to the Administration of St.

Petersburg. This was reported by the Azerbaijani mass media, citing
the country's Consulate General in the Northern Capital of Russia.

As the astute reader may have guessed, the protest is, surely, related
to Nagorno Karabakh. But, we'll not continue keeping the intrigue
and will open the brackets - the Consulate General of Azerbaijan in St.

Petersburg sent a letter of protest to the Administration of the
city in connection with the information on the guest performances of
the Saint-Petersburg moving circus 'Imperial' in the NKR scheduled
for November 6-15. According to this diplomatic mission, "meetings
are planned with officials of the Administration of St. Petersburg,
Committee for Culture of St. Petersburg, and the Russian Foreign
Ministry representative in St. Petersburg to discuss this crying
(!!!) fact". As circus is generally a merry genre of art, then it is
impossible to refer to the diplomatic circus of Azerbaijan without a
smile. What heights, of not circus, but verbal equilibration should
one reach to call the tour of a harmless moving circus a crying fact?!

However, as we can see, in this case cries not even the fact, but the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, as they say, in its full tinned throat.

In order to demonstrate the Azerbaijani citizens and, first of all,
its top leadership, the degree of vigilance, similar to it, i.e.

leadership, in guarding the state interests. Although it should be
noted that the vigilance is betraying the Foreign Ministry, which
is, apparently, losing its visual acuity. Otherwise, the Azerbaijani
portal haqqin.az wouldn't have hurried to support it, which sounded
the alarm before the Foreign Ministry and called the administration
of the moving circus 'Imperial', trying to defend the speculative
interests of Azerbaijan. But, having failed in achieving any progress,
the portal expressed hope that "the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry will
react in any way, at least, in the form of a letter to the Committee
on Culture of St. Petersburg and to the Governor of the Northern
Capital of Russia, Georgy Poltavchenko". As we can see, haqqin.az was
not disappointed in its hopes - its patriotic prompting was to the
point, and the Foreign Ministry reacted accordingly. The Azerbaijani
diplomacy displayed its weakness not only for the circus, but also for
the epistolary genre, sending letters of protest to the Administration
of St. Petersburg and the Committee for Culture of the city. As you
know, high-Q circus, with the elements of merry clownery, can cause
tears in the audience - tears of laughter. Alas, the authorities of
Azerbaijan have no time for laughter. And it is clear. Before they
could recover from the summer tour of opera star Lyubov Kazarnovskaya
to Artsakh and her premiere of 'Requiem' by Verdi on September 1 in
Stepanakert, another music-like silver slap followed. There really is
something to fall into despair. The Azerbaijani authorities failed to
prevent the arrival of Lubov Kazarnovskaya in Artsakh and especially
her triumphant performance of 'Requiem' in the central square of the
NKR capital city, in spite of the threats to include Kazarnovskaya
and other representatives of the opera art in the "black list" of
the Foreign Ministry of this country. And now Baku decided to achieve
progress in the circus sphere. Now Baku has decided to try its luck at
the circus arena. By the way, the administration of 'Imperial' moving
circus is aware of Azerbaijan's sanctions, but it merely ignores them.

Thus, when the stubborn haqqin.az appealed to the representative of
the administration, Adele Romanova, trying to explain that tours
to Artsakh are "violation of the laws of our country", she stated
bluntly that they were aware of the fact that after visiting Karabakh
artists would not be allowed to Azerbaijan. That is another slap to
official Baku. After all, it often tries to explain the visits to
the NKR by foreign politicians, political scientists and businessmen,
representatives of culture and art by the fact that they were allegedly
lured to Artsakh fraudulently. People arrived and will arrive in the
NKR, despite the restrictions and "black lists" of Azerbaijan. Producer
of 'Imperial' Andrew Mitachkin said in an interview to the Armenian
mass media, "If Azerbaijan uses our tour for political purposes,
then I believe it is not right - to mix art and politics". It seems
to be a simple truth, but the Azerbaijani authorities, the mind of
which is muddled with ardent hatred towards Armenians, cannot realize
it. Most likely, both Ms. Romanova and Mr.

Mitachkin will be included in the "black list". At the same time, the
fate of their pets - trained animals - remains unclear: will they be
included in the notorious list or will they avoid it? But seriously,
Azerbaijan had to realize long ago that its "black list" does not
"work". Otherwise, the number of its residents would not multiply.

Attempting to politicize everything, including cultural events, and
to show the world its alleged, but actually illusory jurisdiction
over Nagorno Karabakh, Baku looks merely ridiculous. It looks like
a failed clown in an evil mask, causing not only ironic laughter,
but also pity. Pity for the political squalor.

Armenians Rule the U.S. Classic Animated Series

Armenians Rule the U.S. Classic Animated Series
Posted By: adminPosted date: December 07, 2015 in: News & ArticlesNo Comments

The following is a translated article written by a news website based in Azerbaijan. It was launched by an NGO called “For Human Rights” in 2011. They refer to themselves as “an information, analytical and monitoring portal” and state that their mission is to educate society and fight for human rights.

Original article: http://m.haqqin.az/news/58335  (in response to The Armenians of Springfield )

 Author: Murad Samedov

All Azerbaijanis who have ever been abroad and talked to foreigners have definitely come across the fact that ordinary people from Europe, America and even Asia do not know about the existence of a country named Azerbaijan. When this happens, we have to hide our disappointment and explain that we come from Azerbaijan, a small country located on the Caspian shore at the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains between Iran and Russia.

Still, it’s a great shame that the country that gave the world the great Fuzuli and Nizami, declared the first democracy in the East, and now supplies oil and gas to almost every European consumer is not known abroad. It’s even a bigger shame when people trying to get a clearer idea of where exactly Azerbaijan is located, ask a question: “Is it near Armenia?”

So, how come we are losing the PR battle to the Armenians and why is Armenia more widely known around the world today than Azerbaijan? This fact overlooked by the public authorities and expat communities is usually attributed to the influence of the powerful Armenian lobby that has penetrated the world. This is why there are calls to recognize the so-called Armenian Genocide or the “independence” of Nagorno-Karabakh, sometimes from places where you would least expect it, such as New South Wales in Australia.

Over the last ten years the government of Azerbaijan has made enormous efforts, including economic and cultural promotion to raise the country’s international profile. In addition to a variety of international exhibitions and conferences for all industries, Azerbaijan hosted the Eurovision Song Contest and the first European Games. Thanks to the support from Azerbaijani companies, football players from big-league European clubs come on the field in T-shirts with the word “Azerbaijan” on them and the logo of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) sponsoring important international competitions is already a familiar sight.

However, despite billions of dollars spent on the promotion these efforts do not contribute much to the image and prestige issue.

Experience has shown that Armenians are doing a good job of making their country famous all over the globe without such huge expenses. First of all, the Armenian propaganda counts on the pop culture and it works perfectly. The reader has probably noticed an increasingly large number of Armenians featuring in recent popular Hollywood films. Armenians are shown as mafia bosses in almost every U.S. action film where Armenia, its history and culture also get a mention and you can hear the duduk playing at the end. Eventually, all this is shaping certain ideas in the minds of the cinema and TV audience all over the world and when the time comes, some of them will definitely remember the “Great Armenia”, probably when talking to you.

Today, one of the U.S. websites posted a review of The Simpsons, the world-famous animated series. The show has been broadcast in over 100 countries and its audience has long ago reached hundreds of millions of viewers. The authors of the review conclude that most of the characters living in the fictional American town of Springfield where The Simpsons takes place are of Armenian descent.

It turned out that Principal Seymour Skinner, one of the main characters in the show, is in fact Armen Tamzarian, an ethnic Armenian who has been hiding under the name of Skinner for years. In the episode called “The Principal And The Pauper”, Skinner is celebrating twenty years of his career as a principal. Superintendent Chalmers and the other teachers are throwing a big party for Principal Skinner. All goes well until the real Sgt. Skinner who was passing the school by chance exposes him. It emerges that Skinner (born Armen Tamzarian) is an impostor who once was a street punk in Capital City. The court gave him a choice to go to jail or the army. Having no idea that there was a war in Vietnam going on, he chose the latter.

There, he was befriended by Sgt. Seymour Skinner, whom he came to idolize. When Sgt. Seymour Skinner was reported missing presumed dead, Tamzarian decided to assume his identity. Skinner’s mother deliberately mistook him for Seymour. Since then, Tamzarian made Skinner’s dream of becoming a school principal come true. The real Seymour Skinner had been alive after all: he had been taken prisoner and then sent to a Chinese sweatshop where he made Sneakers. After the sweatshop was closed down, the real Skinner returned to Springfield.

If you think that the appearance of Armen Tamzarian in the show can be considered pure coincidence then think twice about other characters of Armenian descent. In Episode 16, Season 17 of The Simpsons, a Dr. Egoyan appears, also of Armenian descent. When the Springfield football team loses out the finger of blame is on Grampa Simpson aka Abe, who gets depressed and decides to seek out Dr. Egoyan. Instead of helping Abe, Dr. Egoyan tells him about the easiest ways to commit suicide.

The fans have found one more character of Armenian descent in the show. In the final episode (Episode 23) in Season 10, the main character Homer Simpson says that he has attended the Chuck Garbedian Mega-Savings Seminar. As you can guess, Chuck is also of Armenian descent.

And, finally, here is the biggest surprise. As it turns out Moe the bartender, one of the funniest characters in the show, is half Armenian. In “Lisa Goes Gaga”, Moe describes himself as “half monster, half Armenian”, which also proves that he is of Armenian descent.

This is by no means an exhaustive list because after more than 20 years of running, the series was officially renewed with more seasons coming. So we cannot help but wonder how come Armenians feature so prominently in such a popular show. Characters of Armenian descent outnumber those of Spanish, Italian or German descent. Skeptics may call it a mere coincidence but I call it one of the most successful Armenian propaganda projects in popular culture.
