German ‘disappointed’ not to be included in Azeri blacklisthttp://media.pn.am/media/issue/167/668/photo/167668.jpgAugust 7, 2013 - 14:19 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - A young man from Germany, Jonas Holländer, was ‘disappointed’ not to find himself in Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s blacklist. “Dear Azerbaijan, recently you have published a list of people who are not allowed to enter your country. I am fully offended and frustrated that my name was not included in your list. Please find attached the evidence of my stay in Karabakh and correct the mistake as soon as possible,” Holländer said in a post on Facebook, attaching the photo of the visa he got for entering Artsakh. On August 2, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has published its “famous blacklist” which includes Slovak politician Frantişek Mikloşko, Argentinean parliamentarian Jose Arbo, Russian expert Andrey Areshev, Baroness Caroline Cox, opera star Montserrat Caballé and many other famous personalities.

Killed Chechen’s father arrives in US to sue the FBIPublished time: August 06, 2013 17:25 Get short URLhttp://rt.com/files/news/20/03/30/00/todashev-father-sue-fbi.si.jpgAbdulbaki Todashev, father of Ibragim Todashev (AFP Photo) Share on tumblrTrends Boston Marathon bombingTags Conflict, Court, Crime, FBI, Human rights, Scandal, Shooting, USA, ViolenceThe father of a Chechen man who was fatally shot by a Boston FBI agent has arrived in the United States, where he intends to file a lawsuit against the agency and investigate the mysterious death of his son. Abdulbaki Todashev is the father of 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, a mixed martial arts fighter who was fatally shot seven times by the FBI during an extensive interview about his connection to alleged Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev, as well as any knowledge about a triple murder in Waltham, Massachusetts. Todashev, who lived in Orlando, Florida at the time of the interrogation, had been friends with the suspected bomber when they both lived in Massachusetts. After several hours of questioning, Todashev was shot dead by the FBI in a case that continues to be shrouded in mystery. The man’s father, who lives in Chechnya, described the incident as an execution-style murder. http://rt.com/files/news/20/03/30/00/1.jpgThis undated mugshot released by the Orange County (Florida) Sheriff's Office shows Orlando, Florida resident Ibragim Todashev (AFP Photo) “He was shot seven times,” Mr. Todashev told TIME. “In the heart and in the head. What is that if not murder?” Conflicting reports surfaced after the man’s death, with some suggesting that the young Todashev attacked an FBI agent with a knife, metal pole, or broomstick. Other reports claimed the Chechen-American was unarmed. “The FBI has offered completely incompatible explanations, they have failed to explain how these inconsistent stories found their way into newspaper accounts of the shootings, and have not offered any clarifying comment about what really happened,” Howard Simon, the Florida executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), told TIME. The victim’s grieving father does not believe that his son posed any serious danger to the officers who were interrogating him, especially since he was injured. A photograph of his son’s dead body shows a row of stitches over the right knee. “He had just had surgery on his knee and was still walking with crutches,” Todashev said. The FBI has opened an internal investigation into the killing, but refuses to comment on the case and blocked the release of the victim’s autopsy report. The distressed father says he is determined to independently discover the truth behind his son’s death, and plans to travel to the US, where he will employ the help of human rights organizations to get answers. Todashev speaks little English, cannot afford a lawyer, and has nothing more than a tourist visa to the US, but the ACLU has vowed to help him. http://rt.com/files/news/20/03/30/00/tod-1.jpgReniya Manukyan seen with her husband, Ibragim Todashev. (Image from vk.com) He says he wants to sue the FBI - not for compensation, but for answers about his son’s death. However, uncovering the truth is likely to come with numerous hurdles: state investigators in Florida last week rejected an ACLU request for an independent investigation into the shooting, claiming it would be “inappropriate” for the human rights organization to intervene. “Secrecy fosters suspicion and the people of Florida deserve better than to be left without an explanation from their government about what led to a person being shot to death,” Simon said in a statement last Wednesday. “This means it is more likely that the family of Ibragim Todashev will have to file a lawsuit in order to get answers about how their son died.” An ACLU request to investigate the death was also rejected by the Massachusetts attorney general. Todashev announced his plans to sue the agency just a few days after the ACLU’s requests were denied, and told TIME that he would file a wrongful death suit - which would force the FBI to reveal all the facts of his son’s death and accept responsibility for any wrongdoing. “At least once they must be made to admit they were wrong,” he said. “What, is the FBI infallible?”

Banderoom Hootz. Heriseh is the best known of Musa Dagh dishes. But Musa Daghtsis make many other dishes that are distinct to their region. Among these are two breads, Banderoom Hootz and Jufftoom Hootz, literally translated - cheese bread and black olive pulp bread. In our Musa Dagh village of Bitias, we used to enjoy Banderoom Hootz throughout the year but especially during the holidays. The story was different for Jufftoom Hootz. That specialty was prepared only during the fall months when black ripe olives were harvested. The oil was extracted from the fruit, the seeds discarded, and the remaining pulp, jufft, was used as the main topping for the delicacy. Today, we frequently make Banderoom Hootz. But since we don't have jufft, we can only dream about Juffltoom Hootz. Making Banderoom Hootz requires pepper paste, a prized Musa Dagh condiment that is used for many other dishes and as a dip. The recipes below appear in our cookbook, The Recipes of Musa Dagh, An Armenian Cookbook in a Dialect of Its Own, available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Powells, and other websites. Cheese Bread (Banderoom Hootz)Bread Dough 1½ packets active dry yeast 1½ teaspoons sugar ¼ cup warm water, plus additional warm water for later use 7 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1. Proof yeast: Pour ¼ cup warm water into a tall glass. Add the 1 ½ teaspoons sugar and stir until it dissolves. Add the yeast, stir gently and place in warm area. The yeast should bubble and foam within 15 minutes. If not, the yeast is not active and shouldn't be used. 2. Place flour in a large bowl and add the salt. Make a well in the center, add the proofed yeast and enough warm water to blend the dough. Transfer the dough to a board and knead for 10-15 minutes. While kneading, dip hands in warm water to make a sticky dough. 3. Form into a large ball and place in a flat pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place. 4. After the dough rises, form four balls. Cover with a damp cloth and let the balls rise again in the pan. While dough is rising, prepare the topping. Topping 1 dozen medium onions, diced 2-3 tablespoons hot pepper paste or to taste ½ cup blue cheese, crumbled ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 cup large-curd cottage cheese, thoroughly drained through double cheese cloth 2 tablespoons crushed dry summer savory 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for later use 1. Preheat oven at 400° F. 2. Mix well all the above ingredients. 3. Lightly oil pizza pan with crisco and dust with flour. Place one ball of dough into the pan and spread it like a pizza. 4. Add one fourth of the topping, spreading it evenly. 5. Bake the bread 15-20 minutes until the bread is lightly brown. 6. Repeat the process from step three for the remaining three balls. 7. Let the flat breads cool completely and then slice them into eight triangles. 8. Dip fingers in olive oil and evenly pat the topping. 9. Refrigerate. Keeps up to one week. 10. If preferred warm, heat in oven before serving. Makes four breads Pepper Paste (Epoodz Hamim)For many Musa Daghtsis, red pepper paste is an essential ingredient. Mom usually made several batches, pressed the paste in individual small jars, and sealed the jars with wax. She used the paste throughout the year. In the United States, she prepared the pepper paste and wrapped small portions in plastic wrap. She then put the portions in plastic containers and put them in the freezer. The pepper paste is used in tabouli, Musa Dagh steak tartare (chee keufteh), onion salad, cheese bread, potato salad and in many other dishes. Pepper paste can be either hot or mild. The ratio of sweet and hot peppers determines the taste. The following recipe makes mild flavor. 5 pounds sweet red peppers ½ pound hot red peppers 3 teaspoons salt 1. Wash peppers and pat dry. Wearing rubber gloves, cut hot peppers in half and remove the white membranes and seeds. Cut peppers into one inch chunks. 2. Using the steel blade, pulverize peppers in food processor. Add salt and pour peppers into a baking pan. 3. Place the pan over low heat and simmer gently, stirring with a wooden spoon. As the water evaporates, the pepper paste will have the consistency of tomato paste. Paste prepared over a low flame preserves the red color. 4. Place pan aside for a day and stir it once in a while. This will allow additional water to evaporate. The paste should be of thick consistency. 5. Divide into desired portions, wrap in plastic wrap, place in container and freeze. Note: To make a few of spoonfuls of pepper paste, use five sweet red peppers and one hot pepper. Follow the same procedure and salt to taste.

“Should Armenians live in their motherland?” Many Syrian-Armenians facing the need to settle in Armenia permanently give vague responses to this difficult question, trying to decide whether to stay or to leave, and if leave, then for where? http://armenianow.com/sites/default/files/img/imagecache/150x90/Sepuh-Qeshishyan.jpg Enlarge Photo http://armenianow.com/sites/all/themes/armenianow/images/enlarg_image.gifSepuh Qeshishyan with doughter http://armenianow.com/sites/default/files/img/dynimagecache/0-66-267-160-150-90/Hakob-Artin-Ghada-Ferhat.jpg Enlarge Photo http://armenianow.com/sites/all/themes/armenianow/images/enlarg_image.gifHakob Artin from Qamishli city with his Greek wife Ghada Ferhat “My grandfather is buried in Aleppo. In his will he asked to transfer his remnants to Armenia and bury here, but even we – living ones – come and find no place for us. If we bring our grandparents’ remains, what shall we do with them? In his will he was teaching us to love our motherland and settle here,” says Sepuh Keshishian, 58, who for the past month and a half has been staying at a guesthouse in Berdzor, Nagorno Karabakh, with his wife and two young children. The Keshishian family is from Syria’s Kurdish Ras al-Ayn city, where they were one of only ten Armenian families, and had a house, animal-breeding farm, a café. They left all of it behind, and just like their ancestors, took the road of refuge, although this time to their motherland. Sepuh says in 2004 he visited Berdzor together with a few other Diaspora Armenians, it was then that he decided to go and settle there. “I bought a house, a garage, but for different reasons the local authorities of that time took the house back from me, I even suffered financial damage. I have the garage in my property, and if they give us a house, I might stay and found a business,” he says. “It is hard to see our future here. The locals want to run away, be it Hayastantsi [Armenians of Armenia] or Karabakhtsi [Armenians of NKR], they sell their houses and escape to Russia.” Rather far away from the guesthouse there is a newly built priory hosting Hakob Artin from Qamishli city, his Greek wife Ghada Ferhat and their two children. “At the Ministry of Diaspora we were asked if we would like to go to Karabakh. To the question “what’s in Karabakh?” were told ‘a house, a job, livestock’. We had no idea about Karabakh. For a year we lived in a guesthouse, now we live in a priory, where living conditions are better. They did not give us a cow, said ‘you have two children’. I am the car mechanic of Ishkhanadzor village with a salary of 100,000 drams ($250), but have not received it for three months now. Food is a big issue, we have to buy everything and are living in hardship,” says Hakob. Hakob’s family is one of the four who took an agricultural loan from Artsakh bank – two million drams ($5,000) each with zero interest rate. They sowed barley, but the hail destroyed the crops. “People said it would be all right. We were promised that one hectare would yield one ton of crops, but we got only 40 kilos, as a result we now owe to the bank and I have no idea how to pay it back. The $2,000 we had with us is long gone. If they give us a house and enough work to suffice for food and clothes, that would be ok, we would stay and live here. But right now it is only about trying not to starve,” says Hakob with frustration. His wife Ghada says in broken Armenian, that all day long they recall how they used to live and compare to how they live now. With laughter at their own predicament they say their life has turned by 200 degrees. “I made rice dolma [stuffed vine leaves] today. I go to the market, bring the things we need if I find. There is not much at the market, or if there is, it’s too expensive. Qamishli’s market was rich, you could find everything for very affordable prices,” says Ghada. The priory is hosting another family: Shamiram Vardanian has resided here for nine months together with her four children. They locked the doors of their house and a shop they owned in Qamishli and left. Shamiram’s kitchen has the inviting smell of eastern spices. She has made rice, chicken and potatoes. “Once the war is over, I am going back, there is nothing here for us to stay and live. We differ from the locals with our customs, our language, our cuisine. We were born there, we lived there. Yes we are Armenian, we know our homeland is here, but living is hard. The locals, too, say it is hard, but they at least have their own places to live. If it’s hard for them, imagine how hard it is for us. All of their men are gone to Russia,” says Shamiram. “True, it is better than the war, we are living peacefully, without fear, but we have to be able to have a life.” They are yearning for re-finding their lost homes here, in the motherland, have a small business to earn their living. Keshishian, with his businessman’s sense, says Berdzor has a ‘treasure’, especially for animal husbandry, but he is reluctant about investing in agriculture. “For strangers like us it is very difficult here and very risky to take a bank loan and invest in agriculture with no guarantees of good weather conditions. Also, we keep hearing stories of people who lost their businesses because of high taxes or they say if we work they will take it away from us as soon as the business runs well. We hear and fear. Nonetheless, there is wealth here, then why aren’t there jobs?” says Keshishian, who works as the guesthouse guard with 36,000 drams ($90) salary per month. “I have come with an expectation that they would give me a house, and that I could found a small business. But if they do not, and I cannot afford buying one myself, I will sell the garage and leave. There is no way back [to Syria], our life there is over, so I would probably move somewhere close to Yerevan, say, Masis or Abovyan towns,” he says. Robert Matevosyan, head of the re-settlement department of Kashatagh administrative district, told ArmeniaNow that those are groundless speculations and that there are numerous examples of when Diaspora Armenians have succeeded in business there. He denies the claims of immigration from the region as well. In 1992 (during the war), Armenian forces took control over Berdzor (Lachin) town and the Lachin corridor, which was also called the “road of life”, since it was the only land communication between Karabakh and Armenia. Zangelan, Kubatlu and part of Lachin (which are among the seven disputed regions around former Autonomous Republic of Nagorno Karabakh have been re-arranged into Kashatagh region with 3,376 sq.km total area, and the re-settlement of this area is of strategic importance. By the 2011 data of the NKR labor and social affairs ministry, 8,500 people reside in Kashatagh. This southwestern part of Karabakh has now 38 Syrian families, nine of them in Berdzor, the others in Kovsakan, the second largest city, and Ishkanadzor of Kashatagh region. Two private houses are being built in Berzdor, sponsored by benefactors, and two more are sponsored to be built. The construction of multi-storey dwellings in Kovsakan and Ishkhanadzor is expected to be completed in two months. An urban settlement is planned to be developed in Kashatagh with all its respective infrastructures. “We are solving two important issues: first, that we are the owners of these lands and by the appropriation of them we answer the political question; second, that we are using these lands for food provision and, in general, economic purposes. We have to have a standard settlement, rather than one for only 10-15 families,” said NKR Prime Minister Ara Harutyunyna during a meeting in Kashatagh. Published: 19 July, 2013
