Azerbaijan throws some shade at Kim Kardashian after Armenia posts

By Nick Logan


If you never thought Kim Kardashian would be embroiled in a
geopolitical crisis, you were wrong.

Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the United States has criticized the
reality TV star for weighing in on the recent hostilities between his
country’s military and the ethnic Armenian separatists, backed by the
Armenian military, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh — a
largely ethnic Armenian enclave inside Azerbaijan.

Kim and Khloe Kardashian, both proud of their Armenian-American
heritage, urged their vast social media followings to pray for Armenia
amid violent clashes that left at least 64 people dead in recent days.

“I’m not sure Ms. Kardashian is a military or political analyst, so
maybe we should all do what we do best,” Ambassador Elin Suleymanov
told Foreign Policy in a phone interview published Wednesday.

“I personally would be a very bad reality TV star, so I try not to
cross into areas I’m not familiar,” Suleymanov told Foreign Policy.
“She’s very famous and beloved by her fans, but matters of war and
peace are a little too serious for a reality TV star,”

The Kardashian sisters’ “Pray for Armenia” messages had the potential
to reach roughly 200 million followers on Instagram, Twitter and
Facebook.

Azerbaijan and Armenia agreed Tuesday to bring an end some of the
worst violence since 1994 after three days of fighting and shelling.

Nagorno-Karabakh isn’t a large area, just 4,400 square kilometres.
Nowadays, the autonomous region is home to about 146,000 people — the
majority of whom are ethnic Armenian.

Tensions between the two nations reached a boiling point after the
break-up of the Soviet Union when the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament
voted for unification with Armenia.

As many as 30,000 people are estimated to have died between the start
of the war in 1991 and the ceasefire agreement in 1994, while one
million others were displaced, according to BBC.

Although Nagorno-Karabakh is landlocked inside Azerbaijan’s borders, a
disputed corridor of territory surrounds the autonomous region along
the borders of Armenia and Iran.

Both Armenia and Azerbaijan claimed the other side was responsible for
the violent flare-up.

But in a separate interview with Agence France-Presse, Ambassador
Suleymanov seemed to suggest the violence was sparked after a show of
friendship between his country and the U.S. at last week’s Nuclear
Security Summit in Washington, D.C.

“History shows that every time something like this happens, there is a
provocation that overshadows that success,” he said. “This time with
the summit just finished and President Aliyev still in transit back
home — he hadn’t even landed — when the escalation began.”

Prior to the truce, the Canadian government called on both sides to
“show restraint” and “immediately return to a true ceasefire.”

Conservative Foreign Affairs critic Tony Clement and deputy critic
Peter Kent said they “strongly encourage Armenian and Azerbaijani
forces to end this violence.”

Turkey’s AKP and HDP Parties Brawl in Parliament (Video)

28/4/16

Democratic Party (HDP) descended into a brawl during a plenary session
on April 27 (Source: ArmRadio)

ISTANBUL (Hurriyet Daily) —Violent tension between lawmakers from the
ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the Peoples’ Democratic
Party (HDP) descended into a brawl during a plenary session on April
27, delaying efforts to pass legislation on an EU migration deal.

Deputies threw punches, pushed and tried to restrain each other in the
assembly late on April 27 in a row over deadly operations against the
outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in the southeast.

Fighting erupted after HDP Şırnak deputy Ferhat Encü “commemorated all
civilians and children massacred by the security services.”

“I remember the civilians recently massacred by shelling in [the
southeastern district of] Silopi. I remember the 34 people, including
children, who were brutally bombed by Turkish warplanes in Roboski
four years ago,” said Encü.

Turkish warplanes killed 34 villagers, Encü’s relatives, in late 2011
on the border with Iraq in the eastern district of Uludere in the
Roboski Massacre.

The acting speaker announced at the end of the April 27 session,
following the scuffles, the parliament would not meet again in a full
session until May 2.

Lawmakers had been expected to work on April 29 and April 30 on
legislation needed for Turks to secure visa-free travel to Europe, a
key part of Ankara’s deal with the European Union on stopping
uncontrolled migration to Europe.

“You may not like it, but unfortunately these things are true,” he added.

During the speech, AKP deputies reacted angrily and started shouting,
declaring Encü a supporter of the PKK. “You are a murderer. You
support murderers. You are despicable. You are a terrorist and a
defender of murderers. You should be in jail. You came from the
mountains,” the AKP MPs were heard shouting, referring to the Kandil
Mountains that are known as the PKK’s headquarters in northern Iraq.

In response, Encü said “those accusing him of being a terrorist are
the real terrorists.”

After the fight erupted between the MPs, Parliamentary Speaker Ahmet
Aydın declared a break in proceedings.

Encü later wrote on his Twitter account that he was “not afraid” of
the AKP deputies who targeted him in parliament.

“They attempted to lynch me for commemorating the civilians massacred
by the security services. They think that Turkish officers don’t kill.
Is that so? If you’ve had just a little honor, you wouldn’t say that
to me, as 34 of my own relatives were massacred by law enforcement,”
he also wrote.

The fight broke out during debates on a draft bill to establish a
supervisory commission to oversee law enforcement officers’ compliance
with the law, which was opened on April 27.

The drafts suggested the commission would be led by the Interior
Ministry’s undersecretary and have seven members work to enhance the
law enforcement complaint system, as well as make it function
transparently, improve its credibility, and centralize the recording
of processes initiated against law enforcement officers for their
alleged crimes and offenses.

While the general assembly was shut, there were scuffles again on
April 28 during a meeting of a constitutional commission which was
discussing legislation on lifting lawmakers’ immunity from
prosecution.

Since interest from both members of parliament and journalists on
deliberations over the government-led provisional change in the
constitution that would allow parliament to lift legislative
immunities was high, the meeting began with a large number of
attendees standing in order to follow the debate. The HDP objected to
an attempt to usher journalists out of the commission room and asked
for a change of the venue.

Tension rose when AKP deputies opposed the HDP’s proposal.

Turks and Armenians must put WWI pain behind them

April 29 2016 10:34 PM
by Harun Yahya

We will never give up working for amity and peace against those who
try to politicise history through a bitter rhetoric of hate and enmity
and strive to alienate the two neighbouring nations who are bound with
their common history and their similar traditions, President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan said in a statement which was read out by Turkey’s
Armenian Patriarch Aram Atesyan in this year’s annual commemoration of
the 1915 incidents.

This year Armenian members of the Turkish Parliament, Garo Paylan,
Selina Dogan and Markar Esayan, were also present in the commemoration
in the Holy Virgin Mary Church of Istanbul.

Foul plots and corrupt ways marked the days of World War I; it was a
sinister time when countries could act as they desired, forcibly and
illegally occupying and plundering any land they like.

The Ottoman Empire, once the most powerful state of the world, had to
struggle with many of such countries during the WWI in its phases of
regression.
Not only the participant states but the entire world was affected and
suffered because of this epochal war. The effects of World War I are
still felt throughout the world.
The WWI was not a war between Turks and Armenians. The Turks and the
Armenians had lived in harmony for more than 850 years yet suffered
through a series of tragic incidents and their long-lasting
relationship ground to a halt.

When the Armenians fled the Byzantine oppression and first came to
Anatolia after the victory of Malazgirt in 1071, the Ottomans welcomed
and provided them every means to live freely as Ottoman citizens and
treated them as equals.

At a time when Europe was unfamiliar with religious leniency, this
was a significant moment, showing the world Ottoman compassion in
embracing another people of a different faith.

Armenians are a decent, wise and loyal nation. They have always been
a precious element of the Ottoman society with their artists, tailors,
doctors and politicians. The Armenians were considered as honest and
trustworthy people who were loyal to the empire and thus given the
name “Loyal Nation”.
As a matter of fact, Armenians and Turks both have a similar culture;
some Armenians speak Turkish better than they speak Armenian. This
strong bond between them first cracked in the Ottoman-Russian War in
1878.

Up until then, Armenians were recruited to very high official
positions in the state. This does not indicate a special privilege
because Armenians were one of the communities that formed the
Ottomans, not a minority.

We all wonder why this long-standing relationship came to such
turbulence after living in harmony like a family for all those years.
The Armenians, who were affected by the nationalistic movements of the
early 20th century, started to co-operate with Russia, England and
France while the Ottomans were battling on the side of Germans as the
World War I had begun in 1914.

They carried out mutinies in 23 different districts, which resulted
in the deaths of thousands of Turks and caused a great deal of turmoil
within the empire.
The Ottomans were confronting serious traumas at that time, especially
after the evacuation of the Balkans in 1912. There had been major
massacres and deportations in Bulgaria and the Caucuses.

In 1914, more than 1mn Turks were forced into exile from Yerevan and
Tiflis and only 702,000 managed to reach the homeland. There were
simultaneous Armenian uprisings - these are documented in the French
archives.

On April 24, 1915, the Ottomans issued arrest warrants for the 235
leaders of the Armenian organisations supporting uprisings; that is
the date Armenians consider as the start of the so-called genocide.

Around 180 of the leaders were arrested and sent to various prisons.
Then the Ottomans had no choice but to make the decision to deport the
Armenian population to the lands where Turks had been forced to leave.

It was a time of war with utter disorder and confusion when the
Ottoman authorities made the deportation decision of the Armenian
population for various reasons of national security. All sides that
participated in war acted on decisions made out of panic and
retaliation.

War makes rational people unwise and they undertake cruel policies
out of panic either in the name of victory or to save their people
from danger. One side does everything it can to protect its people,
considering every means to this end justified; such thinking is, of
course, completely wrong.

The Armenians and the Turks fell into this same error and killed each
other. They were both Ottoman citizens and they were brothers and
neighbours who had lived and befriended side by side for years.

It was, as is always the case, the civilian population who suffered
the most. Many women, elderly and children had to go long ways without
proper food, clean water and medication.

Many died because of epidemic illnesses, hunger and some were killed
in gang attacks.

The Ottoman Empire was protective to the Armenian civilians against
attacks that might have occurred during the exile: 1,673 people who
attacked the Armenian convoys during deportation were court-martialled
by the Ottomans. Sixty-seven of the convicts were hung and the rest
were sentenced to assorted punishments.

Nobody can understand the suffering better than the Armenians and the
Turks who experienced this heartbreaking history. Both suffered great
losses; the bones are still there in the war zones in mass graves.

The Turkish nation gave 230,000 martyrs in Gallipoli, 90,000 in
Sarikamis and 40,000 in Arabian land that belonged to Ottoman Empire
at that time.

Yet Turkey acknowledges the fact that this was war and these events
were the inevitable consequences of it.

Turkey does not even consider asking or calling for the occupying
countries to account for their deeds at war-time.

Hence Turks and Armenians, two close people, should not fall out
because of hatred and political agendas.

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan was sincere in his speech of 2014
annual commemoration when he said: “I publicly reaffirm: we do not
consider the Turkish society as our enemy. Bowing to the memory of the
innocent victims we remember all those Turks, Turkish families who
lent a helping hand to their Armenian neighbours, friends...”
After 101 years, this incident is still on the global agenda. Yet, now
some are using this painful event as a political tool. It is
historians who should deal with this issue, not politicians.

There have been many massacres in the world history, which could be
considered genocide but those massacres have not been taken into
consideration as genocide. This once again shows this is a political
game rather than a sincere quest for historic knowledge.

This issue between Turkey and Armenia cannot be solved by third
parties who have not suffered the bitter pain of World War I. We are
all cognisant that this tragic event happened and affected both sides.
The best course now is to put behind the pains of that war and heal
the wounds together with solidarity and brotherhood.
If Armenians would ask for the Turks to recognise this as genocide,
then Turks would do the same for themselves and this will not bring
solution and happiness but only more pain. There should be more
Armenians living in Turkey, they should be free to start their own
schools and churches within the country.
Both sides should work on their historic mutual culture that developed
long before.

The two countries can unite as a great example to the world and open
their borders and lift visa and passport restrictions. This will
silence the unwelcome voice of those who desire hatred and empower
those who seek love and amity.

A Closer Look At Armenia And Its Neighbors

by Jason Katz

With due respect to The Weekly Standard’s Philip Terzian in his recent
article regarding the plight of Armenia, the issues and perspective he
cites associated with the geopolitics of the South Caucasus, Eurasia
and Turkey’s portion of the Middle East, are somewhat oversimplified
and perhaps skewed.

Calling Armenia pro-Western and democratic is not only misleading, but
it is also insulting to the many Armenians who are trying to play an
active role to alter the unwise course their nation is charting toward
an increasingly failed state, bereft of sovereignty and independence.

Armenia’s total dependency (political, economic and diplomatic) on
Russia is not just “convenience,” but a deep misunderstanding of how
to build an independent state. Armenia is nary a sovereign state and
it gives away more of its independence with each successive
capitulation to Russia.

Currently, the Russian military patrols Armenia’s airspace. Russia
provides border protection for Armenia and most disturbingly, Armenia
is the last of the former Soviet Republics to host Russian bases and
troops on its soil — an agreement that was recently extended until
2044. Armenia also joined the Eurasian Customs Union, Moscow’s counter
to the EU and the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Russia’s
resistance to NATO. Most telling, recently, Armenian president Serj
Sarkissian, announced that “all [Armenian] foreign policy will be
coordinated with Russia.”

Gloomily, in terms of any growth toward independence or rapprochement
with its neighbors, is the documented fact that the country is run by
former and current warlords. It is a fact that current president Serj
Sarkissian openly and gleefully admitted to orchestrating civilian
atrocities to British journalist Tom DeWaal. The fact that Armenia
remains the only post-Soviet state where almost the entire previous
leadership of that country was executed in its own Parliament with
absolute impunity speaks volumes to the political views of Armenia’s
current leaders.

Playing the religion card is disingenuous at best and bigoted at
worst. It is an attempt to divert attention from Armenia’s close and
dangerous ties with Iran’s Mullahs, who long evaded sanctions with
help from their friends in the Armenia government. In documents
divulged by Wikileaks, we learned that Armenia was transferring
weapons from European nations directly to Iran. These weapons, in
turn, were transferred to terrorists fighting and killing brave
American troops in Iraq. Moreover, the long history of Armenian
radicals training together with Middle East’s Islamic terrorists is
well-documented. Not surprisingly, in 1990’s groups of Armenian
para-military gangs attacking Azerbaijanis were called “Arabo” because
they were trained in Arab countries and spoke Arabic. Tellingly, we
know about this because Armenian civilians, horrified by their
atrocities, publicly protested.

No, Iran is not going to attack Armenia; instead Iran is much more
concerned with its fellow Muslim-majority state, the staunchly secular
Azerbaijan, and friend and ally of Israel and U.S. Thus, Iran has been
helping Armenia in its Russian-backed war against Azerbaijan, an
interesting blow to simplistic and superficial stereotypes, which seem
to dominate Mr. Terzian’s article. In fact, contrary to some
assertions, Armenia has much better relations with Iran than with its
only Christian neighbor Georgia.

And, yes, Armenia is a threat to Turkey, NATO and the region as a
whole because it is a de-facto Russian province, again, hosting
Russia’s military bases, which are being reinforced by Moscow right
now.

Whitewashing Armenia’s failure as a state and betting on superficial,
misleading stereotypes will not help the country and its people;
becoming, albeit belatedly, a truly independent nation by building
peace with neighbors could. Such a path would do much to bring Armenia
into one of the most prosperous and forward advancing neighborhoods on
the globe — as a partner.

political and policy consultancy, and the former head of public
affairs and public relations for the American Jewish Committee, based

matters-though his opinions are his own.

The Azerbaijani authorities have awarded another gang of killers and executioners as a sign of encouragement.

 

The President of that country, Ilham Aliyev, personally handed awards to the Azerbaijani serviceman, who beheaded the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) Defense Army Soldier, Yezidi Kyaram Sloyan.

 

Through this step, Azerbaijan continues the terrible policy of encouraging killers and executioners, Ramil Safarov having become their “prominent” example.

 

The latter beheaded the Armenian soldier Gurgen Margaryan, being later handed by the authorities of Hungary to Azerbaijan. In his homeland, Safarov was welcomed with honors and awards.

 

During the military actions unleashed by Azerbaijan on April 2, the Azerbaijani military servicemen demonstrated criminal skills, cutting off the ears of the killed old men, torturing the captives and mistreating their bodies.

Get ready Europe! These people soon will travel without visas!

 

 

urkish lawmakers had the chance to debate Oscar Wilde during a constitutional commission meeting on May 2, after several lawmakers did not know who the Irish writer was and had confused the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, with him, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.

 

The discussion between the Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) deputies started when a HDP lawmaker wanted to quote Wilde as an example, but the AKP lawmakers didn’t know who Wilde was.

 

“Please nobody take it personally, but I want to quote Oscar Wilde,” said HDP deputy Prof. Mithat Sancar, who was received by confusion from AKP deputies.

 

“Who is he?” asked AKP deputy Zeyid Aslan, to which Sancar replied by saying that Aslan should look up Wilde himself.

 

“I can’t give you a lecture; we don’t have time but if someone needs it than we can rent a room and do a private session in the parliament,” Sancar said.

 

Sancar’s choice to quote Wilde was criticized by several AKP lawmakers, with AKP deputy Halis Dalkılıç saying that Sancar should give an example from “this civilization.”

 

“Do you have any examples regarding this culture, this civilization?” asked Dalkılıç, while AKP MP Ahmet Sami Ceylan asked Sancar to state a quote from Turkish poet Necip Fazıl Kısakürek.

 

After much debate, Sancar recited the quote anyway, relating it to the abandoned peace process over the Kurdish issue.

 

“I can oppose vulgar power, but I can’t stand vulgar reasoning. There are unjust things in vulgar reasoning. Vulgar reasoning aims below the belt,” Sancar stated, quoting Wilde.

 

However, the debate left others still confused, as AKP deputy Adnan Günnarlater later asked Sancar to talk about the award ceremony known as the Oscars.

 

“It’s Oscar Wilde. He is not an award, he is a guy called ‘Oscar Wilde,’” HDP deputy Burcu Çelik Özkan explained to the AKP lawmaker.

Food Wars: Azerbaijan, Armenia Clash Over Invention of Dolma

Azerbaijan and Armenia are on the verge of yet another conflict. This
time, it’s about food and the stakes are really high – Baku accused
Yerevan of stealing the traditions of making dolma, a stuffed
vegetable dish.

The Azeri Ministry of Culture and Tourism is getting ready to include
the recipe of traditional dolma, a stuffed vegetable dish common all
across the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia, in
an official UNESCO document, said Abulfas Garayev, the Azeri Minister
of Culture and Tourism.

"It's not a secret to anybody that the neighboring country [Armenia]
not only has claims over the territory of Azerbaijan, but also tries
to appropriate the culture of our country, including the national
cuisine," Garayev said.

Kerry Discusses Need for Peace Talks With Azerbaijani, Armenian Presidents
The minister also added that previously Armenia tried to claim pita
bread. Yerevan's impudence knows no borders and now it's trying to
appropriate dolma, which belongs to the culture of all Turkic nations,
Garayev said.

"They [the Armenians] asked for the inclusion of pita bread to the
UNESCO list of cultural heritage. Wasn't that the appropriation?" —
the Azeri minister said.

That's why to protect its own cultural heritage, Azerbaijan is doing
what it has to by sending its own application to the UNESCO, Garayev
explained.

It's pretty amusing that both countries try to claim dolma and pita
bread as their own national cuisine, considering that both of these
foods are so widespread across Eurasia that it would probably be
impossible to prove which nation began making them first.

Solemn opening ceremony of first public toilet in Azerbaijan takes
place under national anthem

17:23, 4 May, 2016

YEREVAN, MAY 4, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijanis once again remembered their
nomadic identity. It can occur only in Azerbaijan that a public toilet
opens by a solemn ceremony in the 21st century organized by
authorities accompanied by the national anthem of that country.

“Armenpress” reports, citing pro-governmental Azerbaijani haqqin.az
website, a solemn opening ceremony of the first public toilet has
taken place in Azerbaijan. The outdoor toilets of two schools in
Beylagan District, located nearby Nagorno Karabakh Republic, were put
into public use with the support of Japan government’s grant project.

Head of Beylagan District Executive Authority Vagif Abdullayev
expressed deep gratitude to the Japanese government for such an
exclusive gift.

What is not known about Amal Clooney, who defends Khadija Ismayilova

Why are the Clooneys against Azerbaijan?"; subheadings have been
inserted editorially:

There is no doubt that in recent days the main discussion topic for
the mass media is the possibility of the release of independent
journalist Khadija Ismayilova [Xadica Ismayilova]. From the first day
the defence of our colleague in the European Court of Human Rights by
a lawyer named Amal Clooney has been a topic of discussion. Although
initially the media suggested several theories about her alleged
Armenian background, this topic receded somewhat following denials by
Ismayilova's local lawyers and from the side of Amal Clooney.

George Clooney in Yerevan

However, tensions rose after the spouse of Amal Clooney, Hollywood
star George Clooney, travelled to Yerevan to take part in a project
related to the fabricated Armenian genocide. Although the
international media long reported this as piece of news as "The
Clooneys will go to Yerevan", ultimately the Hollywood actor went
without his spouse. This poured more fuel on claims of the Clooneys'
"pro-Armenian bias".

The website Haqqin.az prepared a detailed report on this topic. The
analysis said that the Clooneys are known for their deep hatred of the
Turkish and Azerbaijani peoples. The participation of George Clooney
in political events prior to his marriage with Amal is given as proof
of this. The website said that another proof is that Amal currently
plays the main role in this "duo". Currently, the most important duty
of this lawyer is to hurt Azerbaijan's image with "aggressive Armenian
smears".

The Haqqin.az report also said that certain Azerbaijani bloggers have
actively joined in Amal Clooney's campaign. Arzu Abdullayeva, who
cooperates with the Armenian newspaper Agos in Turkey and the former
head of the Azerbaijani Service of Radio Liberty Kanan Aliyev, as well
as Alakbar Raufoglu, are among them. They actively cooperate with Mrs
Clooney. The piece emphasized: "Khadija Ismayilova's case is a
political project. Amal Clooney plays an active role there. The latter
does not hide her Azerbaijani phobia".

The case titled "Khadija Ismayilova vs. Azerbaijan" is also calculated
to harm Azerbaijan's image and Mrs Clooney's eagerness is a major
piece of evidence for this. Because from the first day it was not
Ismayilova who asked for Clooney's services, but Amal Clooney who
offered to defend Ismayilova.

Criticism of Amal Clooney

Naturally, as Azerbaijani journalists we wish for the rapid release of
our colleague and we welcome all steps taken to this end. However, the
active participation of a pro-Armenian lawyer who wishes to use this
case for her own ends is not pleasant for prominent public figures.
One of them is human rights activist Matanat Azizova and the other is
political analyst Hikmat Hacizada. Both prominent public figures told
us that they dislike this. Hacizada said that Amal Clooney is of
Armenian background and her husband George Clooney received no
financial assistance from Armenia, with its poor state budget, in
order to travel to Yerevan. This is a joint stance by the family.
Azizova said that it is not essential to be a king of lawyers in order
to defend Khadija: "A lawyer who has little information about the case
can easily prepare the documents, send them to the European Court and
defend Ismayilova. For example, there are thousands of cases won by
Azerbaijani lawyers. The main work of Amal Clooney is to use her
pretty appearance to spread information concerning Khadija. The funds
allocated to this end could have been managed more effectively by
several NGOs. In a nutshell and subjectively, I would not like Amal's
name to be mentioned together with the name of Khadija. I am irritated
every time Amal Clooney mentions Khadija, no matter what her message
is. In my world this woman belittled the case of Khadija. Could not
they find another prominent lawyer in this wide world?"

Azerbaijani lawyers in the European court

From the first day the issue was on the political agenda.Lawyer
Asabali Mustafayev has taken an interesting stance. He said that when
the case is viewed in the Grand Chamber there is a need for a foreign
lawyer in the European Court of Human Rights: "Because then the
process is conducted orally. The case of Ismayilova may be looked at
by the department chamber. Her current lawyers can easily fulfil this
task. In addition, the government will interpret Amal's participation
in a different light. It seems to me that Amal wishes to take on this
case to promote herself. Then let us promote our own lawyers. While
Amal has conducted two or three cases in the European Court of Human
Rights, Intiqam Aliyev has taken around 200 cases. It is clear who has
to study from whom here".

In a recent interview with the BBC, Amal Clooney said, with regard, to
concerns over the possible impact that her previous case concerning
the "Armenian genocide" claims will have on representing Khadija
Ismayilova in court: "It is a fact that across the world I defend
journalists. This case is not against Azerbaijan, but for the freedom
of expression. I have explained this to the Azerbaijani government.
There have been media attacks against me over how I can take this case
after I represented Armenia ".

She said that she is not an ethnic Armenian and added: "Even if I were
one, this is irrelevant. I once said this: I have represented Cambodia
and this does not make me a Cambodian; or the case related to Greece
does not mean that I am Greek. This is absurd".

Amal Clooney's background

Amal Clooney was the lawyer and advocate for the Armenian government
in the case related to the "Armenian genocide" brought by Switzerland,
Armenia and France to the European Court of Human Rights against Dogu
Perincek, leader of Turkey's Patriotic Party.

According to reports in the Wikipedia, prior to her marriage, Amal
Clooney's surname was Amaluddin and she is from the small people, the
Druze, who live in Lebanon. She been the lawyer for several well-known
people, including WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, former prime
minister of Ukraine Yuliya Tymoshenko and Canadian journalist of
Egyptian descent Mohamed Fahmy.

She left Beirut as a child and has lived in the UK. Her mother Baria
has been in charge of the foreign news department in the Lebanese
newspaper Al Hayat. She has interviewed Bill Clinton, Fidel Castro and
Tony Blair.

In earlier interviews Ismayilova's lawyer Fariz Namazli said that Amal
Clooney is not Armenian and that the imprisoned journalist is happy
with her defence.

At any rate, there are serious claims and facts that need to be
contradicted. No matter how strong the argument that the wife is not
responsible for her husband, given that prior to marriage with Amal
Clooney George Clooney stood as far as possible from the political
arena, it is suspicious how he suddenly fell in love with Armenia,
especially considering her defence of pro-Armenian cases before. We
want our colleague to be set free, but not with the hands of those who
turn this in Armenia's favour.

Ancient Alievstan Awakened

http://www.keghart.com/sites/all/modules/print/icons/print_icon.gifPrinthttp://www.keghart.com/sites/all/modules/print/icons/mail_icon.gifSendhttp://www.keghart.com/sites/all/modules/print/icons/pdf_icon.gifPDF

http://www.keghart.com/sites/default/files/images2/Keghart-Logo-Banner_0.jpg Jirair Tutunjian, Toronto, 13 August 2016

On July 8 of this year Armenia’s ARKA news outlet announced that a group of archeologists had discovered Yerevan’s oldest street. The 30-ft. tile-paved passageway is 2,700-years-old and is near thehttp://www.keghart.com/sites/default/files/images2/ilham2.jpgtemple of Haldi. Although the discovery was “unique and unprecedented”, according to archeologist Mikael Badalyan, there was no media follow-up in the days after the report.

Intrigued by the lack of further reports about the site, Professor and Doctor (18 honorary professorships and doctorates from universities in Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, three Turkish, Jordanian, and Azeri…) President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan, who several months ago revealed that the “Khanate of Erivan and Zankezur are part of the Azerbaijan homeland”, sent a secret crack team of archeologists to the Yerevan site to probe the reason for the secrecy surrounding the Street with No Name. Within ten days the Azeri Indiana Jones team, which had pretended to be Iranian tourists, returned to Baku laden with tons of data about Yerevan’s oldest street. Ecstatic by what the clandestine team had discovered, President-for-Life Aliyev delivered an address to his 9-million subjects where he exposed the “mendacious games the illegal occupational government of Armenia is playing to cover up” the secrets of Yerevan’s newfound street.

Here are the highlights of the history-changing revelations made by President Aliyev, Light of the Turkic People, Hero of the Caspian, Avenger of Shusha, Savior of Khojali, Son of Heydar the Great, Liberator of Nagorno-Karabakh…

---The fascist-racist colonial regime in Yerevan has halted the excavations of the oldest street and deep-sixed further digging because of the civilization-shattering facts the Azeri secret team unearthed there. For example, the Yerevan street’s ancient name was Ilham Yolu (Ilham Street) and was built 5,000 years ago by Sarsam III, king of proto-Azerbaijan which was called Aliyevstan.

---Aliyevstan stretched from the Gulf of Azer (now Persian Gulf /Arabian Gulf depending which imperialist atlas you check) in the south to the Kara (Black) Sea and Mount Elbruz (in Georgia) in the north. It stretched from the eastern shores of the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean (Gulf of Shiite Jihad). One of its major cities was Yaravan which means “the house of the loved one” in Azeri. Nearby was the province of Nakhwan which Armenians changed to Nakhichevan.

---Tambal, the capital of Aliyevstan, was on top of Mt. Agri which racist people call Mt. Ararat. Noah was a true-blue Azeri born in Tambal. He was the head carpenter at the court of King Sarsari II. Upon hearing of his talent, Allah ordered him to build the famous Ark. Thus humanity descends from the Azeris.

---Upon landing at the foot of Mt. Agri, Noah immediately invented wine, beer, Cognac, Champagne and spritzers. However, following the untimely deaths of a number of King Sarsams, Sarsaris, and Sakhatts due to overindulgence, viniculture was banned. In the 7^th century, the Azeri emperor Padishah Dali Sanam IV sent a delegation to Mecca to persuade Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him (PBUH), to ban liquor. The Azeri emissaries also persuaded the Prophet, PBUH, to ban pork because “oink, oink” is a deeply offensive term in classical Azeri. The Prophet (PBUH) bestowed the title of “Caliph” upon the Azeri padishah, although the unworthy successors of the Prophet (PBUH) usurped the title which resulted in the Sunni/Shiite disagreement.

The Azeri archeologists also dug up several 5,000-year-old tomes written in Azeroid, the first alphabet of the world. The alphabet had 498 fonts, including serif and sans serif; upper case, lower case and middle case. What’s erroneously is now referred to as Italic and Roman were originally named Azeric and Bakulic. Despite their age, the leather-bound books were in mint condition, testifying to the printing and binding excellence of ancient Alievites.

The primordial ancestors of the Alievites also discovered fire. The latter was admittedly facilitated by the Allah-given petroleum and natural gas which spout here 24/7. Alievites, who had fleets in the Caspian and the Gulf of Azer, shipped fuel all the way to Said, now called Sidney in Australia, to Fizuli, now called Fiji in the Pacific Ocean and to California which is named after Caliph Orna. “Tartar” derives from the tar Alievites exported to Central Asia.

While the highly-advanced Alievistan flourished for millennia before the advent of the Sumerians, the Egyptians, Ultima Thule, and Atlantis, the decline of the empire began 800 years before the birth of Prophet (PBUH). That is when a barbarian tribe crossed from Europe and advanced east to the area around Lake Van, now mostly inhabited by the rebellious and treacherous Mountain Turks. To confuse strangers, the barbarian tribe called itself many names…Ermeni, Hai, Haig, Nairi, Khaldi, Ooradoo... But no matter their name, they were a primitive people who ate raw meat which they called chee kofteh. Taking pity on the homeless nomads, Emperor Beyinsiz Sanam III welcomed them to his empire and provided them with soup kitchens. Again, our innate compassion proved to be our fatal flaw. The barbarian Ermenler were cunning, sly, treacherous, underhanded, foxy, crafty, tricky, wily, shifty and good at business. Within a short time through duplicity these beggars became money-changers and bankers who controlled our economy while their crooked businessmen took over our clay tablets and papyrus newspapers.

Then at a secret meeting on the northern shores of Lake Van their cabal of wise elders compiled a protocol for the takeover the Azeri empire. The cabal secretly allied with the Persians and poisoned Emperor Aptal VI, the royal family, the nobility, the spiritual leaders and the generals. They then divided the empire between them. Out of their alliance were born the Pahlavi Empire and Ermenistan. But Allah-willing, Ermenistan’s days are numbered. Soon the Azeri armed forces will take back the lost lands, convert gavoor Echmiadzin to the original madrasah; Yerevan will once again be a khanate; the idols called Babig and Mamig in Khojali will be beheaded. To spare them from the just ire of the Azeri people, the government will deport gavoor Ermenler southwest, to the Arabian Desert. From the ancient Yerevan street will rise glorious Turania. To celebrate the glorious, President-for-Life Aliyev will give every Azeri subject the 16 volume “Complete and Annotated Speeches of Heydar Aliev”... Glory to Alievstan, glory to the noble Aliyev familocracy, glory to Great Patriot and Atazerbaijan Heydar Aliev, and glory to glorious leader Ilham Aliyev who despite his first name is a good Muslim and doesn’t eat ham.

President-for-Life Ilham Aliyev ended his speech by announcing that the sale of croissant will be banned across Greater Azerbaijan because the French pastry’s crescent shape makes it sacrilegious to all observant Azeris.

“Sayat Nova is Azerbaijani, not Armenian; he is Seyat Neva”



Baku. Javid Zeynalli – APA. Sayat Nova is Azerbaijani, not Armenian,
and he is Seyat Neva, the chairman of Azerbaijani Ashugs’ Union
Maharram Gasimli told APA.

“I don’t know how come Sayat Nova is introduced as Armenian. In fact,
he is Seyat Neva, not Sayat Nova,” said Gasimli. “Our old ashugs used
to recite poems in Russian, Georgian, and Armenian at any time. Seyat
Neva too has written poems in Armenian and Georgian. She wrote mostly
in Azerbaijani and she is Azerbaijani, not Armenian. She was born in
Tbilisi. The Armenians introduce him to the world as an Armenian
ashug.”

He noted that said that there is no fact of Seyat Neva being an Armenian.

“Mirali Seyidov has numerous researches that prove Seyat Neva is an
Azerbaijani ashug. About 300 Armenian ashugs wrote and recite poems in
Azerbaijani,” added the union chairman. “We shouldn’t forget that
there were talented persons among them. In Azerbaijan’s Shamkir
district there was an Armenian ashug called Yervant who recited in
Azerbaijan. He often told me the Armenian language doesn’t harmonize
with the sound of saz. Today Armenian ashugs are promoted in the
world, but one shouldn’t forget that the Azerbaijani ashug art has
always been under the influence of the Armenian culture.”

Erdogan proclaims Mosul and Aleppo belong to Turkey - Video

By News Desk -

23/10/2016

ANKARA, TURKEY (1:20 P.M.) - Speaking during an opening ceremony for an educational institution in Bursa on Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan compared the way that Syrians and Iraqis have been driven away from homes because of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (IS; ISIS/ISIL), to how Turkish people were once forced out from the same cities.

Erdogan added that the cities of Mosul and Aleppo belong to the Turkish people.

Video footage of this speech was broadcasted by Ruptly on Sunday morning:

 

This is not the first time that Erdogan has said something this controversial; just last week, the Turkish President told Iraqi Prime Minister, Haider Al-'Abadi, he should know his place and that they are not equals.

Turkish MP: Fethullah Gülen’s father is Armenian

10:24, 08.11.2016

Region:Armenia, Turkey
Theme: Politics

Orhan Deligöz, a ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) MP from Erzurum, Turkey, claimed that the father of Fethullah Gülen was Armenian.

Deligöz noted that Gülen’s family had moved to Erzurum from elsewhere, reported Haber7 news website of Turkey.

“They came from Iran to Bitlis [town in Turkey], after which they settled in Erzurum,” said the Turkish MP “When Fethullah Gülen wanted to get a foreign passport, he had noted his mother’s name as Rabin, which is neither a Turkish nor a Kurdish name. His mother is Jewish, whereas his father—Armenian.”

Ankara accuses Turkish Islamic theologian and preacher Fethullah Gülen—who resides in the US since 1999—and his “Fethullah Gülen Terrorist Organization (FETÖ)” of orchestrating the failed putsch in Turkey in July. And it has petitioned to the US for his extradition to Turkey.

Armenia's cognac diplomacy and its failures

30 January 2017 22:27 (UTC+04:00)

201

http://www.azernews.az/media/pictures/pace3.jpg

By Rashid Shirinov

Last week, Armenian diplomacy has once again suffered a heavy blow in the international arena. The Armenian delegation to PACE has tried to bribe Chairman of the PACE Committee Vladimir Aryev by offering a cognac in exchange for not recognizing Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan; however the attempt has failed.

“Yesterday the deputies from Armenia were chasing after me with a bottle of cognac and wanted me to refuse recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan,” Aryev wrote in a social network.

As it turned out, Armenian diplomats did not like the paragraph of the report developed by Aryev, where he stated the impossibility of monitoring the state of media in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova, because part of their territories are under the control of occupying forces.

However, Aryev explained the Armenian diplomats that the paragraph concerning Nagorno-Karabakh is based on the international legal norms and documents about the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, and hinted at the inadmissibility of any attempts to exert such pressure on him.

In the end, PACE ignored all objections of Armenian representatives and adopted the resolution without changes.

A number of experts have called this incident another example of “cognac diplomacy” by Armenians.

“The Armenians have always tried to use their vaunted cognac to bribe officials in order to solve political issues in their favor, and such attempts continue to this day," said political analyst Fikrat Sadigov.

He noted that many Europeans, including the members of the PACE, are well aware of the true essence of the issue, and clearly understand whose territories are occupied and who is the occupant country.

“A sober-minded European politician will not deny the fact that part of Azerbaijan is occupied by Armenia, as well as the fact that it is possible to move the situation forward only after withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied territories, said Sadigov. “Failure at the PACE showed the Armenian deputies that cognac will not help in this case.”

“The Armenian emissaries had to start with at least a box of cognac in such case,” famous Russian expert, publicist and public figure Dmitry Verkhoturov joked about the unsuccessful attempt of Armenians.

Political analyst Peter Tase, in turn, said that the underhand tactics of the Armenian delegation to the PACE is unacceptable.

“International community must denounce those intentional acts that violate the ethical and moral values enshrined by the rules approved by the PACE,” Tase noted.

He added that the international community has almost always turned a blind eye to the corruption practices used by the Armenian top officials.

Thus, the Armenian diplomats have again failed in their attempts to distort the historical reality about the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.

BAKU, Azerbaijan (A.W.)—Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev appointed his wife Mehriban Aliyeva as the country’s Vice-President on Feb. 21, in a move that has been widely criticized as way for Aliyev to tighten his grip on power in the country.

 

According to a statement released on Azerbaijan’s official presidential website, the appointment came during meeting of the country’s Security Council under the chairmanship of the President.

In Sept. 2016, Azerbaijan held a referendum, which extended presidential terms from five years to seven and created a strong Vice-Presidency.

 

Mehriban Aliyeva, 52, is a Member of Parliament and the deputy chair the ruling New Azerbaijan Party and heads the Heidar Aliyev Foundation—a non-governmental organization named after Aliyev’s father, former Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev, who ruled the country from 1993-2003.

 

Despite being active in Azerbaijani politics, leaked U.S. diplomatic cables revealed in 2010 that Aliyeva appears to be “poorly informed about political issues,” and that her family has vast business interests throughout Azerbaijan.

Iranian media outlet draws parallels between Mehriban Aliyeva and the wife of former Tunisian dictator

Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev’s appointment of his wife as first vice president of the country clearly demonstrates how the population, officials and all citizens of Azerbaijan are ridiculed, Iranian Asiran.com news site writes in an article, entitled “Azerbaijan and Ilham Aliyev’s clownery.”

The author refers to the notorious appointment, saying: “A simple research suggests that Ilham Aliyev’s wife fails to meet the requirements for taking the post of the vice president, which unveils Aliyev’s intention to facilitate the transfer of the power to his wife.”

The author next recalls similar examples recorded in the history: “Former president of Tunisia Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was trying to appoint his wife Leyla Ben Ali as his deputy. However, President Ben Ali was forced to leave for Saudi Arabia with a family, following the mass protests that hit the country in 2011.”

“In Libya, Muammar Gaddafi was trying to bring own son to power, in Egypt Mubarak was preparing his son to serve as the next president and the same with the Yemeni president,” the source recalls.

To note, Iranian Mehr Agency earlier reported, that Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev is expected to visit the Islamic Republic of Iran on March 5.

Azerbaijan’s Bülbüloğlu gets embarrassed during UNESCO director-general candidate hearings

http://www.groong.com/news/attachments/msg601273/pngYortvk9B2d.png

11:34, 28 April, 2017

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. Polad Bülbüloğlu, Azerbaijan’s candidate for UNESCO DirectorGeneral, has appeared in an embarrassing situation on April 27 during hearings of candidates in France.

The chairman of the session warned Bülbüloğlu that the candidates must speak either English or French.

After reading a few sentences in English, Bülbüloğlu however began to speak in Russian.

“I myself am dissatisfied with my level of English, however that’s not important, the important thing is what a man has in his head”, he said.

Bülbüloğlu was even unable to give decent responses at the session, by continuing to emphasize only the fact that he supposedly plans to bring large amounts of money for the realization of different UNESCO programs.

It is noteworthy that Bulbuloglu, a man who in his term in office as Azerbaijani culture minister destroyed the medieval Armenian cross-stones in Nakhijevan’s New Jugha, which UNESCO itself had acknowledged as world heritage, is now a candidate for UNESCO Director-General.

During the entire period of this crime, Bulbuloglu didn’t make even one remark on condemning or preventing the destruction of the Armenian cross-stones.

In addition, now as Azerbaijan’s Ambassador to Russia, he has numerously delivered belligerent rhetoric on taking up arms and fighting Armenians.

Armenian Parliament's Vice-Speaker brands Azerbaijani FM's statement
as "utter nonsense"



YEREVAN, JULY 10, ARMENPRESS. Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov’s
statement that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict must be settled based on
the territorial principle is a diplomatic nonsense, Vice-Speaker of
the Armenian Parliament and Speaker of the Republican Party told
ARMENPRESS.

“The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs have made at least five statements
mentioning that the issue must be solved based on three fundamental
principles: peaceful settlement, right to self-determination and
territorial integrity. Moreover, recently the European Parliament once
again reaffirmed the necessity of the self-determination right. In
addition, not for a second has the Republic of Artsakh ever been part
of the independent Azerbaijan, therefore using the term Azerbaijan’s
territorial integrity for Artsakh is a diplomatic nonsense”,
Sharmazanov said.

Sharmazanov branded Mammadyarov’s statement that Azerbaijan has
thousand-year old history is diplomacy as hilarious.

“A state unity called “Azerbaijan” appeared in the world on May 27,
1918. As much as Mammadyarov would want to find a state called
Azerbaijan even a day earlier that this, would be in vain.

If 99 years is millennia for Azerbaijan, then mathematical
calculations are done in a completely different way there”,
Sharmazanov said.

According to him, in his speech Mammadyarov mentions the Aghvank
medieval state citing “the thousand-year diplomatic history of
Azerbaijan”.

“I believe here Mammadyarov is making an unforgivable mistake, because
not more or less he is throwing down the gauntlet against Ilham
Aliyev’s father Heydar Aliyev, who had always said “one nation, one
state” when speaking about Turkey and Azerbaijan. I.e. Heydar Aliyev
had always said that Azerbaijanis and Turks are one nation, while the
Turks have come to the region not earlier than the 40s of the 11th
century”, Sharmazanov said, adding that he wouldn’t be surprised if
next time Mammadyarov declares the Roman Empire to be Azerbaijani as
well.

Sharmazanov said he finds the Azeri FM’s statement that Artsakh is a
“historic” territory of Azerbaijan to be complete nonsense.

“Azerbaijan has a history of only 99 years, while Artsakh is a
historically Armenian land, which was mentioned by ancient Greek
historians. Let them have a look at their records, which clearly
mention that until the crossing point of the rivers Kur and Araks it
is the Armenian territory”, he said.

Armenian woman visits graves of Azerbaijani civilians killed in Alkhanli

http://en.apa.az/upload/images/news/2017/july/14/small/ad5a3dd9c9ec46fa48f8d5b6fb724937.jpg

Oksana Altunyan, an Armenian woman who has joined the Armenia-Azerbaijan Peace Platform and is in Azerbaijan for the first time in the past 30 years, has visited the graves of the Azerbaijani toddler and her grandmother, both of whom were killed in an Armenian shelling of Fuzuli’s Alkhanli village, the Peace Platform’s press service told APA.

 

On July 4 at about 20:40 (GMT+4 hours), the Armenian armed forces, using 82-mm and 120-mm mortars and grenade launchers, shelled the Alkhanli village of Azerbaijan’s Fuzuli district. As a result of this provocation, the residents of the village Sahiba Allahverdiyeva, 50, and Zahra Guliyeva, 2, were killed. Salminaz Guliyeva, 52, was injured.

 

Oksana offered her condolences to the families of the victims and condemned the aggression against the civilians.

 

She was born in Baku and lived in the Azerbaijani capital until 1987 but moved to Moscow afterwards. She could not return to her homeland because of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

 

On the first day of her visit to Azerbaijan, Oksana has also visited the graves of Heydar Aliyev, Muslum Magomayev, and Rashid Behbudov in the Alley of Honor.

 

Oksana called on intellectuals from both sides to unite their efforts to restore peace and good neighborly relations.

 

Oksana Altunyan then paid a visit to Baku’s Armenian Church, where she was shown copies of exceptional books, manuscripts, and unique examples of Armenian literature. The Armenian woman thanked the library for the preservation of rare Armenian books and manuscripts.

 

She could not hide her amazement at how beautiful Baku has become since 30 years ago, noting that she was very happy to finally be in the city she had been unable to tread for decades.

Azerbaijan outraged over the sale of Kim Kardashian lipstick sale in Baku

14:10, 25 Aug 2017

Azerbaijan has detected something of a national security breach. And this time it comes via a lipstick collection carrying Armenian-American television star Kim Kardashian West’s brand name (KKW) and sold to unsuspecting Azerbaijanis, EurasiaNet.org writes.

For Azerbaijan any product with an ethnic Armenian connection, whether a lipstick or a rifle, can be considered an enemy operation. “You put a little bit of Kim Kardashian West (KKW) on your lips and, boom, you support Azerbaijan’s enemy, one government-aligned media outlet warned,” the article reads.

“You may say it’s just cosmetics, big deal. What does it have to do with the Armenian-occupied territories of Azerbaijan?” observed Azeri Today in a Russian-language article with the sub-title “For the attention of Azerbaijan’s Security Services!” The story takes the trouble to respond to its own question.

The Kardashian family spends part of its earnings on “advancing the recognition of ‘the Armenian Genocide’,” the author posited.

The 36-year-old Kardashian West indeed campaigns for international recognition of the massacre of ethnic Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide.

EurasiaNet.org reminds that with her sister Khloé and husband, rapper Kanye West, in tow, Kardashian West made a grand visit to Armenia in April 2015, drawing attention to genocide commemorations there. The actress’ own paternal ancestors barely escaped the killings when they migrated to the US at the turn of the 20th century.

The fact that neither KKW by Kylie, nor its distributor, KylieCosmetics.com, is Armenian means little or nothing to ethnicity-conscious Azerbaijanis. Earlier this year, calls were made in Azerbaijan to ban Yandex and Uber’s joint taxi-hailing service because an ethnic Armenian is at the helm of the company, EurasiaNet.org writes.
