Now do you see why I don't debate these issues under serious Topics?

We will go there when the "comedy" is over.

Erdogan: Peres "Doesn't Speak Truth," Wife Cries

Today at the Davos World Economic Forum the Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan stormed out of Davos after not given an opportunity to respond to the loud-voice critique of President of Israel Shimon Peres. Then Erdogan and Schwab hold a presser in which Erdoghan said "I have respect for Mr. Peres therefore I did not raise my voice. Otherwise I would have raised my voice. He doesn't speak truth. History and political science deny him.

 

Events developed really quickly this evening in Davos. Turkish PM's wife said Israeli president lied in Davos and she bursted into tears. “Everything (Israeli President Simon) Peres said was lie,” Emine Erdogan told reporters in Davos after she burst into tears.

 

Then, according to AFP, Peres called and apologized to Erdogan.

 

"Israeli President Shimon Peres apologised by telephone to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan Thursday after the latter stormed out of a Davos debate, the Anatolia news agency reported.

 

"Peres spoke to Erdogan for five minutes and apologised, the news agency said, citing a source close to the Turkish premier."

 

In a press with Erdogan the organizer and founder of Davos Forum Schwab said "What is more important is I have to pay tribute his role in the Middle East peace process. This role gives us hope. I am very sorry and deeply concerned."

 

Erdogan said the following.

 

"In the panel in the evening Ban ki-Moon spoke fore 15 minutes, I spoke for 12 minutes and Mr. Amr Moussa cut his speech short when it reached to 12 minutes.

 

"On the other hand President Peres spoke for 25 minutes and during the speech he turned and speak at me at a manner that we don't see in Davos. And president Peres raised his voice time to time.

 

"When I intervened to take the floor the moderator did not allow me to do. And I showed reaction to the moderator and left the meeting. I wanted to express these thoughts so that there would be no misunderstanding. We will talk about this with Mr. Schwab. My reaction here was towards the moderator. Such moderation will cast a shadow over peace efforts.

 

"I have respect for Mr. Peres therefore I did not raise my voice. Otherwise I would have raised my voice. He doesn't speak truth. History and political science deny him."

 

The President of Israel Shimon Peres will hold a press conference on Friday to address the incident. However, as we mentioned above he has already called and apologized to Erdogan. He had said that he raised his voice not because he was angry, but to be heard.

 

Israeli Turkish Realtions Unlikely To Be Hurt

 

Turkish based Hurriyet writes that "the impacts of Turkish Prime Minister's reaction to leave the stage during the Gaza session in Davos with Israeli president are unlikely to be seen directly but it is expected to have indirect effects.

 

"Erdogan's reaction unlikely to have direct impact on Turkey-Israel ties. Tayyip Erdogan's reaction sent shockwaves in the Turkish foreign ministry. But it is unlikely Turkey to reduce the level of diplomatic relations such as recalling the ambassador in Tel Aviv, diplomatic sources said."

Recently I heard someone on TV say something like “ridicule is the best weapon”. I forgot where and who it was. It may have been in reference to that clown in Tehran. It made so much sense. They may have been reading my writings. Many don’t deserve serious debate.

Yes, we know the well known Cliché - “Pen vs Sword/Թրի դէմ Գրիչ”.

http://www.bendib.com/

Some of these clowns don’t deserve a straight “pen”, only a crooked pen of ridicule. They may be good subjects of caricature.

My only wish is that some of our correspondents would take it easy, keep their feathers together, sit back and enjoy the comedy show, cheer or boo as the case may be.

Turkish PM storms out of heated Mideast debate

Thu Jan 29, 2009 3:59pm EST

 

DAVOS, Switzerland (Reuters) - Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan stormed out of a debate on the Middle East at the World Economic Forum on Thursday, saying he might never return to the annual gathering of the rich and powerful.

 

Israel's President Shimon Peres had launched a fiery defense of his country's assault on Gaza over the past month and, with a raised voice and pointed finger, questioned what Erdogan would do if rockets were fired at Istanbul every night.

 

As the debate, which also included United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and Arab League chief Amr Moussa, was ending, Erdogan was cut short as he tried to respond.

 

"I don't think I will come back to Davos because you don't let me speak," the Turkish prime minister said, as he stood up and walked out of the conference hall in the Swiss ski resort.

 

"The president spoke for only 25 minutes. I have only spoken for half of that."

 

Turkey's state-run Anatolian news agency quoted Erdogan as saying to Peres: "When it comes to killing you know very well how to kill. I know very well how you killed children on the beaches."

 

In a hastily-called news conference, Erdogan later explained that he had been upset with both the moderation of the debate and Peres' manner.

 

"My reaction was directed at the moderator. I think that if we have moderation in this way, we won't really get out of Davos what we all come here to get out of Davos, and it would cast a shadow over efforts to reach peace," Erdogan said.

 

"President Peres was speaking to the prime minister of Turkey -- I am not just some leader of some group or tribe, so he should have addressed me accordingly," he told reporters.

Although this news comes out of that “capital of comedistan” there is reason to believe it may have some basis. He seems to be deeply involved in the AGBU,

hence his dim view of the ASALA. With a name like Armen, he is a disgrace to the nation. I find it hard to laugh. It hurts! What a dope!

After all. What did the ASALA do? How many of those “puppies” is worth one Varouzhan, one Siamanto, one Zohrab or one Komitas?

Note, his surname “gavak” means poplar tree (barti) in that language, which at times is used in a pejorative sense, I.e tall, like the tree, but not so smart, long in body and short in brains..

Armenians respond to apology

Hurriyet Daily News

ISTANBUL - The apology campaign initiated by a group of Turkish intellectuals has inspired Armenians to launch a similar initiative to apologize to the Turks for murders committed by the Asala organization in the 1980s.

 

Dr. Armen Gavakian from the Macquarie University in Sydney, who is also co-chair of the Turkish-Armenian Dialogue Group, is behind the initiative. The statement will be opened for signatures next week, Gavakian told daily Radikal. "Through this campaign we will show that we support our Turkish friends’ campaign with all our heart," he said. The petition will read: "I apologize to the Ottomans and Turks for murders committed in the name of the Armenian people and I empathize with the feelings and pain of the Ottomans and Turks."

 

Gavakian said Turks’ "I apologize" campaign inspired him to launch a similar effort. "This was a great initiative that was proof of nobility since it is hard to face one’s past, whether as an individual or a nation É I hope the Armenians can show the same courage as the Turks and face the skeletons in their own closet," he said.

 

"My conscience does not accept the insensitivity and the denial of the ’Great Catastrophe’ that the Ottoman Armenians were subjected to in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers and sisters. I apologize to them," said the Turkish campaign’s petition signed by more than 30,000 people so far.

Turkish-Israeli Ties in a Stew: Elections 'Paint a Dark Picture'

 

by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

 

 

(IsraelNN.com) Relations between Israel and Turkey worsened Saturday

with Ankara's official warnings that Israel's election results

"painted a very dark picture" for the Middle East. Turkey also

summoned Israel's ambassador following a critical statement by an IDF

officer.

 

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview with

Turkish media, "Unfortunately we have seen that the (Israeli) people

have voted for these (rightist) parties and that makes me a bit

sad. Unfortunately the election has painted a very dark picture."

 

Israel has had friendly relations with Turkey, and comments on a

general election are considered unusual.

 

However, the country's relations with Israel have been problematic

since last month's dramatic confrontation at the World Economic Forum

in Davos, Switzerland, when Erodgan scolded Israeli President Shimon

Peres over Israel's war against terror in Gaza and called for the

United Nations to expel Israel from the international body. Erodgan

walked out during a response by President Peres.

 

In an apparent response to the criticism, IDF ground force commander

Major-General Avi Mizrachi commented that the Turkish Prime Minister

should "look in the mirror" before criticizing Israel. His references,

some of them veiled, to genocide of Armenians, Turkish oppression of

Kurds and its occupation in northern Cyprus prompted Ankara to summon

Israeli ambassador Gabi Levy.

 

In an effort to calm the storm, the IDF issued a rare repudiation of

Mizrachi's comments, stating that they did not represent the IDF

position.

Our comedic genious is at it again. Thomas De Vaal

 

 

Is British Petroleum to regulate the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict?

Not participating in the OSCE Minsk Group efforts to regulate the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Great Britain is trying to force her interests through various organizations.

24.01.2009 GMT+04:00

The desire to please the client at all costs very often has a dismal end. It becomes especially apparent in people who, to the best of their ability, try to give the black for the white and when settling conflicts are reluctant to consider others’ viewpoints. Moreover, when discussing a conflict, for some reason they «do not notice» the public, at the same time taking refuge in democracy.

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Another «recipe» for regulating the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has been published by Thomas de Vaal: “The Karabakh Trap. Threats and Dilemmas of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict. Rough Draft for Discussion.” It was published in the notorious website Mediaforum.az, which «hit the big time» as the spreader of the fabricated story of “selling Russian military hardware to Armenia”.

 

It is boring and unpleasant to read the whole material that counts to 20 pages, especially when behind it distinctly show the ears of British Petroleum and those of many other organizations that, roughly speaking, have been living on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for 20 years already. The report is so pro-Azerbaijani that it gives the impression it was written in Baku, not in London. By the way, it may in fact be so. Judge yourselves.

 

«Today the defeated party feels more and more confident and is impatiently waiting for the change of status-quo in their favour. The present situation, in which in addition to the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region there are seven more Azerbaijani regions fully or partially occupied by the Armenian troops, cannot last endlessly. “I don’t want my son to inherit this problem, that is why I am for the war,” said an educated Azeri of 30, and the number of advocates of this view is rapidly rising». By the way, this kind of references to certain Armenians and Azeri are typical examples of this sort of journalism which we mistakenly call western style.

 

But let us go on. «Armenians take Nagorno-Karabakh as an Armenian territory liberated from Azerbaijan. The young generation that grows up in NKR and in Armenia does not know any other NK region and always hears various statements claiming that the seven occupied Azerbaijani territories are in reality «liberated territories» that on no account should be given away. But Armenia keeps on suffering economically and the international community criticizes her for the conflict. “Karabakh is a stick with which we are always hit on the face,” noted an Armenian official». Even if we do not pay attention to the writing style, in fact we have been hearing and reading it all for more than a year. In this connection one of the joint round tables can be recalled, when the representatives of Azerbaijan dwelt on their oil for so long that Armenians could not stand it any longer and asked quite reasonably: “Do you have anything else except oil?”

 

Yet, let us continue with the citations from de Vaal. «It is an undisputable fact that Azerbaijan is growing thanks to its rich oil reserves. But no one knows what future the country awaits with such dynamic changes in view. Its international reputation is much weighty today than it used to be about ten years ago, and public figures of Azerbaijan today compensate the deficiency of respect which, in their opinion, they used to feel for years. In the words of an international representative that now lives in Baku “At the meetings with diplomats, foreign parliamentarians and NGO representatives Azeri officials make statements like “You need us more than we need you” or “Don't use that tone of voice when talking to us”». On June 26 a grandiose military parade was organized in Baku. It was the first parade since 1992 and gave Azerbaijan an opportunity to show the whole world its newly-obtained military equipment.

 

After the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline was put into operation in 2006 Azerbaijani oil profits rapidly rose. According to the latest forecasts of British Petroleum, if additional investments are made in Azeri-Chirag-Gyuneshli “the peak of oil production will be reached not in 2012 as it was forecasted before, but in six-seven years’ time.” But the interesting point is that the author also notes drop of oil price and world crisis. Thus, Azerbaijan is either on another planet or it does not really make out anything it writes about.

 

The situation in Armenia is bad and we know it ourselves. «Armenia spent most of 2008 in the clutches of political crisis. The ongoing negative echoes of the Presidential Elections held in February and the tragic violence of March 1 in Yerevan led to a split in the society and still remain a problem for the new President Serzh Sargsyan». It comes out that it is democracy to disperse and prohibit demonstrations in Baku, ban foreign radio stations, arrest and beat journalists, whereas dispersal of protesters who had become unruly after the ten-day tolerance of the authorities is considered to be violence. If it is so, de Vaal is right. Unfortunately, human rights advocates use the victims of March 1 in their own favour, overlooking the chief offender of the occurrence. However, all this is only indirectly related to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

 

Let us refer to another citation from the British «expert». «During the year of 2008 universal support of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan has become a signal indicating that unlike Kosovo NKR cannot receive recognition and her status will remain fragile until a peaceful agreement is signed», writes de Vaal.

 

As a matter of principle, in our opinion de Vaal should have begun his publication exactly with this statement. Such kind of experts are unable to realize or acknowledge that NKR is a fully sovereign state. NKR is a reality; it is the Artsakh community which has its own world outlook – tough and appropriate. How is it possible to deal with the region for years and not understand most obvious things or at least study the history? According to Karabakh experts not one empire was overthrown because of having underestimated Artsakh. So, why there should be made an exception for the West? Other countries at least had flair to recognize that Artsakh is a subject and it has its say. Even the USSR, whose power and potential was beyond all comparison with other «pretenders», realized that and created an autonomous region. Thus, it must be admitted that the attempt of British Petroleum failed and it was quite predictable.

 

We should only add that not taking part in the OSCE Minsk Group efforts to regulate the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Great Britain is trying to force her interests through various organizations whose alleged aim is peacekeeping.

"Let the Garlic-Growing Armenians Beg to Join You [Azerbaijan]"

--Thomas Goltz' Racist Remarks About Armenians

Ottawa, March 4 - At a lecture sponsored by the Assembly of

Azerbaijani-Canadian Organizations, with "kind assistance from the

Azerbaijani Embassy in Ottawa", American journalist and professor of

political science Thomas Goltz made racist and derogatory remarks about

Armenians in Ottawa earlier this week. Goltz' remarks were in response

to a question from the audience on how to convince Armenians of

Nagorno-Karabagh to stay within the "current boundaries of Azerbaijan."

Goltz, who teaches at the Montana State University, replied: "By

building a forward-looking democracy you will be able to let the

garlic-growing Armenians beg to join you [Azerbaijan]."

 

Goltz was in Ottawa as a speaker, invited by the Azeri embassy and the

Assembly of Azerbaijani-Canadian Organizations, to talk about the events

of February 26, 1992 in the town of Khojaly in Nagorno-Karabagh. Goltz

delivered his speech "Khojaly Massacre: Crime and No Punishment", at the

National Archives of Canada. Some 60 people (mostly Azeris and Turks)

attended. Next day Goltz delivered a variation of the same lecture at

the National Press Club's Newsmaker Breakfast series, hosted by the

Azeri embassy. About 20 people attended that gathering.

 

As an informal mouthpiece of the Azeri government, Goltz delivered

propaganda and rant against Armenians. First he talked about the

contradiction in the self-determination versus territorial integrity

concept of the United Nations. He then praised Azeri "secularist

attitude" and how Azeris preceded Ataturk in adopting this stance as a

governing model by five years.

 

Goltz accused Armenians of perpetrating "ethnic cleansing" in Khojaly

and said the Armenian argument that the Khojaly operation was a necessary

pre-emptive and defensive measure to relieve Nagorno-Karabagh's capital

Stepanakerd from relentless shelling from Khojaly was "nonsense". He

asserted that Khojaly did not have military significance. He also mocked

Armenian claims that the heavy Azeri civilian casualties were the result

of Azeri internal strife and intrigue.

 

The most dramatic moment of the lectures occurred when Aris Babikian

from the Armenian National Committee of Canada (ANCC) successfully

refuted two controversial statements by Goltz. Goltz had paraphrased

two quotes from author Thomas de Waal's book where supposedly the

current president of Armenia [serzh Sarkisian] had said: "We showed to

the Azerbaijanis that we [Armenians] are not afraid of killing

civilians." The second quote cited by Goltz was from a book by the

brother of Nagorno-Karabagh military leader Monty Melkonian. According

to the American journalist, when Melkonian visited liberated Khojaly and

saw the Azeri corpses, he exclaimed: "What have you done?"

 

At the Newsmaker Breakfast lecture, Aris Babikian, executive director of

the ANCC, confronted Goltz and mocked him for his "command performance

of misrepresentation and revisionism." Babikian exposed Goltz' hypocrisy

by pointing out that the American journalist had "conveniently forgotten

to mention the Sumgait, Baku and Maragh massacres of Armenians by

Azeris... and that had it not been for the Russian Navy 230,000 Armenian

inhabitants of Baku would have not survived."

 

Regarding the Khojaly killings, Babikian said: "Armenians did not claim

that Azeris had perpetrated the massacres of their own people. It was

the Azeri president, Ayaz Mutalibov, who made such a statement in an

April 2, 2004 interview published in Nezavisimaya Gazeta. In the

interview with Czech journalist Yana Mazalova, Mutalibov said that his

opposition, the National Front of Azerbaijan, were behind the killings

to undermine his authority and to topple him.

 

In further questioning, Babikian asked Goltz to explain why the bodies

of Azeri victims were found 11 km from Khojaly and 2 km from the most

heavily fortified Azeri military town of Aghdam. "Is it logical for

Armenians to follow Azeri 11 km, risking their own lives to eliminate

the enemy around Aghdam, instead of killing them in Khojaly?" Babikian

asked.

 

Babikian challenged Goltz to explain why so "many Azeri journalists who

had questioned Azeri government's version of Khojaly events were jailed

or killed. Babikian cited the case of jailed Azeri journalist Eynulla

Fatullayev whose jailing was investigated by the European Court for

Human Rights.

 

Babikian asked Goltz to be honest and impartial when employing quotes

and to do so "without misrepresentation and misquotation so that they

can fit and augment his [Goltz'] narrative of the events."

 

The ANCC executive said that he found it strange that Goltz praised his

"old friend" the late "great" Aliyev as an "extraordinary guy" when

everyone in Azerbaijan knows that he was a despot and a man who stiffled

democracy while his son, the current president, follows in his father's

infamous steps. Babikian said it was obvious that for Goltz "the lure of

the petro-dollar is much stronger than the lure of truth and

impartiality."

 

Goltz did not answer any of Babikian's questions and skirted around

them.

 

Dr. Girair Basmadjian, president of ANCC, said: "We condemn such racist

and hate-disseminating lectures spewed by the mouthpiece of a foreign

government on Canadian podiums. It is unfortunate that some Canadian

Parliamentarians, Senators, and journalists had to hear such vile

statements without even raising an objection or questioning the

organizers and the speaker about the validity of their words and

action."

 

The ANCC leader added that "The Canadian government and police should

investigate the grave and far-reaching consequences of such hateful

speeches. We also would like to ask Canadian Parliamentarians to

disassociate themselves from this lecture and the anxiety it has caused

to the Canadian-Armenian community."

ARMENIAN POWS ‘UNWILLING TO RETURN HOME’

• http://www.armtown.com/img/photo/rfe_en_200903063.jpgThree Armenian soldiers captured by Azerbaijani forces last week do not want to be repatriated for fear of retribution, according to Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry. The soldiers were taken prisoner early on February 28 after crossing the heavily militarized Armenian-Azerbaijani line of contact east of Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian military said they ended up in Azerbaijani-controlled territory in “unknown circumstances.” Azerbaijani media have quoted military sources in Baku as saying that Hrant Markosian, Artush Sargsian and Alik Tevosian willingly surrendered themselves and told their captors that they were systematically malnourished and mistreated by their Karabakh Armenian commanders. A spokesman for the Azerbaijani Defense Ministry, Eldar Sabiroglu, told the Trend news agency that the three conscripts do not want to return home and have asked the Azerbaijani authorities to deport them to a third country. “They are afraid of again finding themselves in an unbearable condition in the Armenian army,” he said. According to the Azerbaijani ANS television, a similar request has also been made by Paruyr Simonian, another Armenian soldier who was taken prisoner in similar circumstances in July. The Armenian side has likewise reported over the past year instances of Azerbaijani soldiers surrendering to enemy troops to escape hazing at the hands of their commanders and fellow servicemen. One of them, Samir Mamedov, was reportedly deported to unnamed “European country” in February 2008. Another soldier, Rafik Hasanov, was shown on Armenian television in December saying that will not return home and wants to stay in Armenia for good. Other Azerbaijani prisoners of war are known to have been prosecuted and imprisoned on treason charges after their release from Armenian captivity and repatriation. One of them, Vusal Eybatov, was sentenced to 11 years in prison as recently as on January 27. Eybatov was captured by Karabakh Armenian forces in April 2008 and sent back to Azerbaijan three weeks later. (Photolur photo)

Chechnya asks to name newborns after Prophet Mohammed

Chechnya asked parents of boys born on Prophet Mohammad's birthday to name their children after the Muslim prophet, Mohammad, Russian media reported on Monday.

Chechnya's leader Ramzan Kadyrov added that every boy born on March 8 and March 9 will also receive 50,000 roubles ($1,394) -- a hefty sum more than double Russia's average monthly wage.

State television channel Vesti 24 showed rows of newborn babies sleeping in a hospital in Chechnya's capital Grozny who will be named Mohammad on Monday. Earlier, the capital sent fireworks into the early morning skies around a lit-up mosque.

"I ask their parents to name the boys after Mohammad," Interfax news agency quoted former rebel turned Kremlin-loyal leader Kadyrov as saying.

Chechnya is predominantly Muslim land which fought against Russian soldiers to separate as a independent state, starting in 1994.

Not really funny but comedic nevertheless.

Some time ago I read that in one of the Far Eastern countries, Thailand? Philipine? A certain tire repair shop was strewing nails at their front street.

What will be next? An Armenian farmer spreading Apricot seeds in the Apple Orchards?

Glass Repairman Accused Of Breaking Windows

Deputies: Sacramento County Repairman Made His Own Business

POSTED: 5:43 pm PDT March 24, 2009

UPDATED: 7:07 pm PDT March 24, 2009

SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. -- A glass repairman in suburban Sacramento County broke windows to drum up business, sheriff's investigators said.

Andrew Krogh, who runs AA Glass and Mirror from his home on Watt Avenue, was arrested Monday night and booked on six felony counts of vandalism.

It started with a simple broken window at Quality Business Machines. Office manager Pam Lassiter said a glass repairman quickly approached her with help.

"'Here's my card, I can make you a deal, get it boarded up for you,' so on and so forth. We took him up on it, because we'd never had a glass problem," Lassiter said.

But at least 15 broken windows later, it had become a frustrating and expensive mystery.

"It was driving us crazy, and I felt like -- we even added cameras to the side of the building, in areas by the street, to see if we could catch these guys doing it," said Mike Hogan, video services manager.

Last Thursday, another window break turned out to be a breakthrough. Hogan matched surveillance video to the times of the glass break alarms, "and sure enough, I saw the white van," he said.

Sheriff's detectives traced the van to Krogh, who was arrested after students at a martial arts studio spotted the van cruising past.

"Times are tough, people are pretty much willing to do anything to get money these days," Lassiter said.
