ARMENIA IS BEHIND ITS NEIGHBORS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS The daily Azg wrote more than once about the lamentable state of telecommunication sector in Armenia, singling out those factors, which make the country lag behind its immediate neighbors. A program on the development and integration of telecommunications sector in the South Caucasus, developed within the frameworks of a grant, made available by Eurasia Foundation, a copy of which was sent to the daily, is yet another evidence to disillusion self-complacent Armenian government officials who keep on declaring that Armenia is becoming a regional telecommunication center. The mentioned program involved related companies from Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. In a section referring to Armenia the report says that telecommunication is the monopoly of Armentel telephone operator, a subsidiary of Greek OTE, which results in high prices for services and low quality communication. Low per capita income, despite a continued GDP growth is mentioned as the major reason hindering IT technology development. In Armenia telecommunication services are subject to obligatory licensing, but in line with a legislation amendment, the procedure of operators’ licensing has been essentially simplified beginning from 2003, January 1. The overall number of subscribers to cellular phone is 50,000 and more or less quality connection is available only for the 20 percent of the territory, which is home to almost 80 percent of the population. The report says that in terms of cellular phone subscribers and its growth rate Armenia is behind all its neighbors. The report, however, indicates that there is a marked improvement of telephone communication infrastructures, which is the result of installation of digital telephone stations. Almost half of telephone exchange stations in the capital Yerevan and 28 percent in the provinces are provided with digital exchange stations, but there was no growth in the overall number of subscribers and even the contrary process is going on. This figure is now 530,000. The overall number of people with access to Internet is 50,000 and some 100 companies provide this service, but only 15-20 companies are considered to be big providers. There are also 30,000 PCs. Judging from these figures, and even without comparing them with neighbor countries, it is obvious that Armenia is far from being a country with an average telecommunication development level. In Azerbaijan the number of cellular phones subscribers is 650,000 and virtually 80 percent of the territory is covered by it, 14 companies provide Internet services and 2 percent of the population use Internet constantly. The number of cellular phones subscribers in Georgia is 410,00, and some 30 companies provide international telephone services. By A.M.

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE OFFICIAL RECOGNITION ISSUE SUBMITTED TO US SENATE DISCUSSION - May 30, 2003 19:22 /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Application for the official recognition of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey was submitted to discussion of the US Senate the other day. As reported by "Turkish Daily News" newspaper, the suggestion was submitted by senators John Ensin and Jean Corzine in the course of the discussion of the US State department budget for year 2004. The document submitted to discussion appeals to the US to draw the moral from previous genocides to prevent their reiteration in future. Meanwhile, official Ankara continues to pursue its policy of denial of this fact, insisting that the numerous victims among the Armenian population were the result of the efforts of Ottoman Turkey to suppress the Armenians' insubordination. In the Turkish party's opinion, the issue of the Armenian Genocide recognition is being often submitted to discussion, especially in the period of tension in relations between the US and Turkey, which arose when the Turkish parliament refused to provide its territory for the US troops in the war against Iraq. The Turkish political figures are concerned by the fact that in result of tension in American-Turkish relations the US may not support Turkey in regard of some issues such as problem with Cyprus, Turkish membership in EC and the Armenian Genocide recognition.

http://www.rockcrawler.com/features/newsshorts/03january/fj_cruiser6.jpg Toyota unveiled the FJ Cruiser concept sport utility vehicle (SUV) at a press conference today at the 2003 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS). The FJ Cruiser concept was initiated and developed jointly by Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., and Calty Design Research, Toyota's North American design center in Newport Beach, Calif. The FJ Cruiser was developed as a basic, capable and affordable off-roader aimed to explore new possibilities for a next-generation SUV aimed specifically at young buyers with active outdoor lifestyles. "The FJ Cruiser is a thoroughly modern concept vehicle chiseled from nearly a half-century tradition of rugged performance provided by the legendary FJ 40, the original 4Runner and 4x4 compact pickups," said Jim Press, executive vice president and COO for Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc. "The FJ Cruiser concept effectively connects two growing markets in the United States…the light truck segment and the emerging youth market." "The FJ Cruiser takes on an authentic functional form, yet adopts several styling cues from the original FJ," said Jin Kim, the FJ Cruiser’s 25-year-old exterior designer. "Some of these cues are notable on the front end by its wide and narrow grille, round headlights, and offset combination lamps. Additional inspiration can be found through its upright windshield and two-tone cap roof. Traits are also noticeable in the rear with wrapping rear corner windows. The modern shape of the FJ Cruiser is woven into a compact package. Its proportionately long wheelbase and wide track produce enhanced stability and a powerful stance." Utility features include spotlights on both outside mirrors, an asymmetrical front spotlight, and a front-end towing winch. The rear glass panel is a two-piece unit that retracts into the roof and the rear hatch for easy access to the rear cargo area. Easy rear passenger entry into the two-door SUV is achieved with rear access doors. Power is supplied by a 3.4-liter V6 engine equipped with a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) supercharger that creates 250-horsepower. The engine is paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel-drive with low range. The FJ Cruiser rides on a modified Tacoma pickup platform and is equipped with rear coil-over long travel suspension, 20-inch wheels and 33-inch tires, and a TRD cat-back exhaust. Calty designer William Chergosky extended the rugged and straightforward theme to the interior. "The cabin is designed specifically for basic functionality and flexible utility," said Chergosky. "The structural beam instrument panel has a sophisticated, handcrafted appearance. The faceplate with round inset instrumentation communicates precision youth market," said Press. "The FJ Cruiser is a thoughtful approach to versatility that allows the customer to decide how the vehicle fits into their active lifestyles." All front and rear seats fold completely flat creating ample cargo space and maximum usability. With no gaps and a durable floor covering, the FJ Cruiser can be converted into a utility deck large enough for two people in their sleeping bags. "It is important for Toyota to raise the emotional pulse of the emerging youth market," said Press. "The FJ Cruiser is a thoughtful approach to versatility that allows the customer to decide how the vehicle fits into their active lifestyles."

DO KURDS MAKE TERRITORIAL CLAIMS ON ARMENIA? Leaders of Kurdish community of America make irresponsible calls. The issue of the possiblity of creation of an independent Kurdish state, which raised on the eve of the Iraq war, is withdrawn from the agenda. Leaders of the Iraqi Kurdistan, which, in fact, is an autonomous state for the last 12 year, gave up the intention to prclaim souvereignty. The Democratic party of Kurdistan and the Patriotical Union, controlling the Northern provinces of the country, together with Arabs and Turkmens joined the process of formation of the ''new Iraq''. However, certain circles of Kurdish diaspora up to now raise the issue of the necessity of a centralised state to unite those regions of Iraq, Turkey and some other states that are populated with Kurds. /PanARMENIAN.Net/ It is interesting that Armenia every now and then is being mentioned among the countries to which the Kurds make territorial claims. Before the end of the war in Iraq, there was information in the world press that leaders of Kurdish community of America stated their decisiveness to have their own state on the territories covering the North of Iraq, South-East of Turkey, north-west of Iran, East of Syria, as well as some regions of Azerbaijan and Armenia. Nobody paid attention to this very provocative statement. Recently a certain Partoumakha, an American scientist of Kurdish origins made a similar statement. He published an article in the “Herald Online” network publication urging the world community to return to the Sevre agreement, which assumed the possibility of creation of a Kurdish state on the ruins of Ottoman Empire. It is evident that the scientist specializing in radiology is a dilettante in history. Otherwise, he would never state that the “lands of the Kurdish state foreseen by the Sevre agreement where divided between Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Armenia and Azerbaijan”. No need to be a historian to know that the Sevre agreement signed in 1920 by the Ottoman Empire after it was defeated in the First World War, was foreseeing the possibility of creation of Kurdish state in the North of Mesopotamia, which passed under the protectorate of Britain. However, the Sevre agreement, which was very important both for Armenians and for the Kurds, was not fulfilled. Five years later, at the Lausanne conference, it was decided to include Kurdistan in the territory of Iraq. Regarding the lands situated north from Mosul, the Antanta countries as well as the legal government of the defeated Ottoman Empire have recognized their belonging to Armenia. Besides, according to the Sevre agreement, vilayats of Van, Bitlis, Erzrum, Trapson, should have been passed to Armenia. Nobody has forgotten the negative role which some Kurdish sheikhs played during the Genocide of Armenians. They became a blind arm in the hands of young Turks. Fortunately, it has not influenced the rather warm relations between Armenians and Kurds up to now living in Armenia. The provocative statements of American Kurds, probably, have become an unpleasant surprise for the leaders of 42 thousand Ezidi community of Armenia who enjoy the care of the government and have everything necessary for maintenance and development of the national culture. - "PanARMENIAN News" analytical department <!> Reproduction in full or in part is prohibited without reference to "PanARMENIAN.Net".

BEAST ON THE MOON PREMIERED IN PRAGUE “Beast on the Moon,” a play by American playwright Richard Kalinoski, had its Czech premiere recently at one of the best theaters in the Czech capital Prague. This sensitive drama, a memory play that examines guilt endured by survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, was recognized as one of the best plays in the USA in 1995 and was premiered since then in many countries. In 1893 a lunar eclipse occurred in Turkey, and, convinced that a "beast" was swallowing the moon, the Turks fired their guns into the sky in an attempt to kill it. The same guns, still smoking with a racial hatred toward the neighboring Armenian population, prompted a systematic extermination of the predominantly Christian Armenians. A series of widespread pogroms in the late eighteenth century culminated in the Genocide of 1915 and the murder of almost 1.5 million Armenians, activities that then, as now, were seldom discussed outside the immediate region. Kalinoski, whose ex-wife is Armenian, has set the play in Milwaukee, Wisconsin between 1921-1933 and spins the troubling tale of two survivors. Aram Thomasian is a newly immigrated photographer trying to build a career, and craving a wife and family in his new home. He chooses his 15-year-old Armenian bride from a series of photographs, and they are married by proxy. Young Seta arrives from an Armenian refugee camp, all wide-eyed and cloyingly indebted to her stern husband. His strict upbringing coupled with desperate sense of loss instills in him a driving need for a large family. Seta, however, has been left barren from years of starvation during the slaughter. Burdened with the loss of their families and unable to have a child of their own, the scarred survivors struggle toward understanding and reconciliation. Entering this turmoil is a waif named Vincent, whom Seta takes under her protection. The three orphans struggle with their plagued existence and the youngster's presence changes Aram and Seta's lives forever

RUSSIA’S FIRST LADY ARRIVES IN YEREVAN Lyudmila Putina, Russia’s First Lady, arrived Monday in Yerevan at the invitation of Bella Kocharian, Armenian First Lady, to attend a CIS and Baltic countries contest of Russian language of high school graduates held in the Armenian town of Tsakhkadzor. The second international Russian language contest opened May 9. High school students from the CIS and the Baltic countries are taking part in the contest, which is passing under the motto "Russia and the Russian Language in my Life". Apart from questions in the Russian language, the young participants will have to demonstrate their knowledge in such areas as Russian history and culture as well as Russian civilization. The distinguishing feature of this year's Russian language action is that all the contenders come from exclusively national schools rather than institutions where instruction is in Russian. Seven undergraduates from the secondary schools of Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine and Estonia will represent their respective countries at the contest. The twenty winners will be enrolled to the leading Russian institutions of high learning without exams. They will have to pay nothing for their education.

Catholicos Karekin II to consecrate Armenian Church in Siberia The head of the Armenian Church, Catholicos Karekin II, will travel May 15 to one of the biggest cities in the Russian Siberia, Krasnoyarsk, to consecrate the Saint Sarkis Armenian Church. It is the first Armenian Church built in Siberia and it will likewise be the visit of the head of Armenian Church there. The need for the church arouse several years ago with the increasing number of Armenians, who chose Siberia as their new residence. According to different estimations, there is some 45,000 strong Armenian community in Krasnoyarsk province. The church was built on donations from several local rich Armenians. The Armenian delegation that will travel to Siberia includes also other senior clergymen, Armenian ambassador to Russia, heads of non-governmental organizations and members of the Russian parliament.

The Development of the Name "Tulip" The most obvious explanation for how the tulip got its name was its resemblance to the headgear worn by many people in the Middle East, such as the Persians -- the turban, that was also written as "toliban". Changed into Latin, this became "tulipa". With a little imagination, the flowers of some tulips do look like a turban. The actual origin of the word is unknown. ???? is turban - Toliban = Taliban ? like an Afgan TAliban ( Talib ) ???" The Role Played by Turkey Today most people (even in the Netherlands) still say that tulips originally came from Turkey and that is where their natural habitat is. But this is only partly true. A significant percentage of the tulips cultivated in the Netherlands originated from areas now considered part of Russia, around the Black Sea, in the Crimea, and from the steppes located north of the Caucasus. However in the 1500s when the tulips were first introduced into Europe, these areas belonged to what was called the great Ottoman Empire, also known as the Turkish Empire or Persia. It is known that the Turks were cultivating tulips as early as 1,000 AD. Before tulips ever reached Europe, they had enjoyed a long and rich cultural history in Persia. Where Tulips Come From it is a widely-spread misconception that tulips and other bulb flowers are native to Holland, growing wild in remote areas still. Nothing could be further from the truth. Almost no bulbous plants are native to this part of the world. For the origins of the tulip, we look to central Asia. This is site of their prime genetic center in the Tien-Shan and the Pamir Alai Mountain Ranges near modern day Islamabad, close to the border of Russia and China. From these areas, tulips spread to other regions including China and Mongolia to the east and to other regions to the west and northwest. A secondary genetic center developed in Azerbaijan and Armenia (Transcaucasia). From this area, tulips spread to locations which included far-flung parts of Europe. They are still encountered today growing wild in regions of the Balkans, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland and France. In nature there are probably no more than one hundred and fifty tulip species native to Europe. But that number depends largely on how one defines "wild species". One of these tulips, Tulipa celsiana, is found wild in southern France in the region around Toulon and Cannes. This miniature tulip grows there between the rocks, under extremely dry conditions. It is visible only for a short growth and flowering period in the early spring. Flowering is quickly followed by withering, and the plant then survives as small bulbs that not only serve to help it survive the winter but the summer as well. In any event, the advance of the tulip in nature never got so far that it reached the Netherlands, not even within 500 miles. http://www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/ge02/12b.gif Tulipa gesneriana (tulip).
