"This is funny It is probably one of those Armenian stories to make everybody, be they angels or devils, an Armenian. It is probably a myth, but a myth with a vengeance.

10th Anniversary of Shoushi Liberation Marked Throughout Armenia, Artsax YEREVAN (Armenpress)—Solemn ceremonies dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Shoushi, the Day of the Nagorno Artsax Defense Army and victory in World War II began May 10. As part of the activities, Artsax President Arkady Ghoukassian, Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sarkisian, Artsax Prime Minister Anushavan Daniyelyan, Parliament Speaker Oleg Yesayan, head of the Artsakh diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, other officials and the public visited the Shoushi Christ the Savior (Kazanchetsots) Cathedral and participated in a service. Nagorno Artsax officials and the Armenian defense minister visited the Stepanakert cultural center to see an exhibition of Artsakh painters dedicated to the liberation of Shoushi and victory in WW II. President Ghoukassian, during a short interview, said, "Without Shoushi we would not have other glorious victories. Shoushi was the beginning. I remember the words of Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sarkisian when he asked whether it would be possible to celebrate the victory in 10 years time. Now we are celebrating it. Nothing is impossible in the world. Now the most urgent things on our agenda are formation of the state, a peaceful life, development of the economy and social security." Hundreds of World War II veterans and thousands of younger Armenians paid tribute May 10 to almost 300,000 Armenians that were killed between 1941 and 1945 in WW II in events celebrating the 57th anniversary of Soviet victory in the World War II, a public holiday in Armenia. Wreaths were also laid by top Armenian officials and heads of foreign diplomatic missions to the monument of the UnknownSoldier in Yerevan Victory Park. Armenian President Robert Kocharian who is expected to be back on May 10 from a week-long trip to Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil has sent a congratulatory message which says, "The May 1945 Victory gave our people a historic opportunity to return to a peaceful and creative work and to build our country." Residents of Nagorno Artsax are also marking Victory Day along with the tenth anniversary of the liberation of strategically important town of Shoushi. An Armenian delegation led by Prime Minister Margarian is in Artsax to attend the official ceremonies there. On Wednesday, Nagorno-Artsax Republic president Arkady Ghoukassian attended a special requiem Mass at the St. Ghazanchetsots church perched atop the highest point in Shoushi, officially opening day-long celebrations in the republic. Meanwhile, Armenian President Robert Kocharian also addressed the nation on the occasion of Victory Day and the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Shoushi: "Dear compatriots, I congratulate you on the occasion of the Victory and Peace Day. The victory in May, 1945, gave our people a historic opportunity to return to peaceful and creative work and to build up the country. "It was a victorious peace, and hundreds of thousands of Armenians contributed to it notably. They kept the honor of Armenian soldier high in the war that became known as the Great Patriotic War. "With the liberation of Shoushi in 1992, May 9 received a second meaning, when the worthy heirs of their glorious fathers proved once and for all that they would no longer tolerate violation of the Armenian people's national rights and human liberties. "I congratulate you all, and particularly the veterans, on the occasion of this great holiday, and wish you excellent health, good festive mood and peaceful skies." The Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II addressed a message to Nagorno Artsax President Arkady Ghoukassian blessing and congratulating the president and the entire people of Artsakh on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Shoushi. The message says that the heroic battle of Shoushi became a turning-point in the war for the liberation of Artsakh. "Together with our people scattered all over the world, we are marking the 10th anniversary of the liberation of Shoushi with special joy, remembering our glorious warriors who sacrificed their lives in the name of their Motherland in our prayers. We are glad that the people of Artsakh, who won their freedom, mark the 10th anniversary of Shoushi's liberation with successes in building up a new life and with confidence and faith in the future." Armenia's Parliament Speaker Armen Khachatrian gave a congratulatory message, which says: "I congratulate Armenian people on the Victory day and Shoushi liberation. I express gratitude to veterans, soldiers of our powerful army, who provided our victory and liberated the ancient Shoushi."

Explosion At the Armenian Embassy in London LONDON (ANN)—A bomb exploded at about three o'clock Thursday morning at the Armenian embassy in London. The explosion ripped apart the large front window of the embassy facing the street, igniting a fire. The fire brigade rushed to the scene and put out the fire after a neighbor called for emergency services. Minor damage was caused to the office behind the window. The embassy is located on the first floor of the "Armenian House," a community center. No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the explosion. Police and investigators did not release any information about the incident. However, sources said an envelop was discovered at the front door of the embassy, the content of which has not been made public. According to a preliminary assessment, the explosion was caused by a time bomb placed under the window of the embassy, most likely a terrorist attack with a political message. asbarez.com

In 1978 Brejnev was told that the railroad system is not finished yet – Brejnev teals everyone that the system will be finished after 10 years but since his in the charge of it will be don in 5 years, and to make sure he gets a Medal for it. In1988 Gorbachev vas told that the railroad is not finished yet, gorbachev opens the windows of his office and starts yelling - the railroad is not ready~~~. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>> You can yell all you like, you can nag all you like but still empathy words, it’s nothing if you and the sociality are not going to change or teak steps to change.

For the first time, May 8 is celebrated as Yerkrapah Day in Armenia. Those who were killed in the Artsax war were remembered today at the Yerablur Pantheon. On May 8, 1992, the city of Shushi was liberated after 71 years of Azeri rule, thanks to the brilliant military actions of Artsax’s self-defense forces. This year marks the 10th anniversary of liberation of Shushi. Celebrations are already underway in Artsax. Armenian leaders have sent congratulatory messages on the occasion of the Yerkrapah Day and the Liberation of Shushi. Prime Minister Andranik Margarian has left for Artsax to participate in the festivities.

PERCH ZEYTUNTSIAN NOVEL TRANSLATED INTO FRENCH ‘This allegoric novel proves that the most ideal manifestation of a man’s freedom is creating something. If a man does not accept slavery, then he will never be in that condition. Neither totalitarianism, nor repression, not even a jail are capable of breaking a human’s will to create. In his initial meaning a human is free and will always remain such’,- reads a paragraph of the preface of French translation of the “Saddest Man’ novel, which was written by an Armenian public figure and writer Perch Zeytuntsian. Zeytuntsian’s work was translated into French recently. The novel which the author wrote in 1970s talks about the repression in USSR, concentrating on the history of life of notable Russian intellectual, writer Alexander Soljenitsin. The French translation of the novel was published this year in Marseilles. The book was translated into French by Robert Ter-Mergerian and Rene Meldonian. The translators write in the preface of the book that pitifully the Armenian literature is limited to French readers only by couple of Armenian writers’ names, stressing that any nation is known by its literary heritage. The translators said that they chose to translate particularly Perch Zeytuntsian’s book because he has a unique literary handwriting and is more or less a modern writer. The ‘Saddest Man’ novel was earlier translated into Russian, English, Arabic, Polish, Hungarian and Georgian. © Copyright AZG

TER-PETROSIAN MISSED SHUSHI’S LIBERATION He was negotiating with his Azeri counterpart in Tehran Ten years ago, on May 6, 1992, an Armenian delegation led by the first president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosian departed for Tehran by the invitation of then Iranian president Rafsanjani. Armenian president was personally received by his Iranian counterpart at the ‘Mehrabad’ airport of Iranian capital. On the same day the acting president of Azerbaijan Yaghub Mamedov was also visiting Tehran, and also received a high level reception by the Iranian president. But the two presidents left Iran with totally different moods. When Levon Ter-Petrosian returned to homeland the Armenian flag was already fluttering in liberated Shushi. From that day on and up to now the ‘traitors who surrendered Shushi’ have been searched for in Azerbaijan. In 1995 the Azeri ex-minister of defense Rahim Ghaziyev was accused of surrendering Shushi and Lachin and was sentenced to death… whereas Ghazieyv ran from the Baku’s national security jail a year before his punishment was set. The liberation of Shushi by Armenian Karabagh war volunteers was a blow for Iran as well- it was deprived of the role of mediator in the negotiation process of Karabagh conflict regulation. The fact that the Iranian president invited Levon Ter-Petrosian and Yaghub Mamedov to Tehran simultaneously is of course not a coincidence. During the May 7 negotiations on regulation of the situation existing on the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan, rapprochement of opinions and easing of tension, with Rafsanjani in attendance, the leaders of the two conflicting countries agreed on a 8-clause document, the 3-rd and 4-th clauses of which read as follows: ‘The sides agreed to adjust all the issues of the conflict based on the norms of international rights and principles of Council for Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE). The sides stressed the necessity of coming to a mutually favorable regulation of border disputes and Karabagh conflict, based on the UN regulations and international law norms’. Late on May 8 (1992) the Armenian delegation lead by Ter-Petrosian returned to Armenia. Shushi was already liberated by that time, although Armenians celebrate the holiday on May 9. Some time after the above-mentioned negotiations Iranian foreign minister Vayezi visited Yerevan, and handed the protest letter of Rafsanjani concerning the ‘capture’ of Shushi by Armenian armed forces over to Levon Ter-Petrosian. To this Armenian president answered with his characteristic frankness that he had nothing to do with it and that it was the handwork of Armenian Revolutionary Federation. Of course it is easy to assess the historical events that are already in the past. But, in reality, the absence of Levon Ter-Petrosian from Armenia on May 6 to 8 was historically justified, especially if we bear in mind that the Armenian president was discussing urgent issues for the country in Tehran. Mr. Ter-Petrosian was and today also is a realistic politician, and just like in 1992, today as well does not accept ‘maximalism’ in politics. And most probably for the first Armenian president the liberation of Shushi should have been a manifestation of ‘maximalism’. Of course all this is already history, but we should not forget that the glorious victory of Shushi was achieved at the cost of the selfless Armenian soldiers’ blood. By Tatoul Hagopian
