UNHOLY TRINITY?

Which is which?

(in the name) of the FATHER, the SON, and the HOLY GHOST**!

ՅԱՆՈՒՆ ՀՕՐ ԵՒ ՈՐԴՒՈՅ ԵՒ ՀՈԳՒՈՅՆ ՍՐԲՈՅ

Even though this item is of International nature, I chose to air it here under National to see what there is for us. Is this “unholy trinity” conspiring to join ankara to totally blockade Yerevan?

First see how the Artsakh Saga was an answer to mehmet’s ardent prayers. When after 70 years of “blockade” of Soviet Armenia was finally lifted mehmet had no other choice, they were running out of excuses, what with the Genocide issue, ASALA and the Diaspora, i.e Dashanak,. Then suddenly heaven sent AH!!! The Artsakh Saga, a perfect excuse to return to the business of BLOCKADE.

Will ras-PUTIN,

the “grandson” of Lenin and Stalin go back to “Armenia without Armenians” policy, just like his ancestors who after running way with their tails between their legs bartered Van, Kars and Ardahan for Batumi, bartered Nakhjavan and Artsakh for Dardanelle . The only reason Moscow kind of sided with Yerevan and Stepanakert was to show baku who was the “boss” that Moscow is so much closer than Washington., and now that they have achieved their goal, will baku will replace Yerevan as a suburb of Moscow ?

How about Tehran? Now that they have once again discovered their “muslim brothers” the mullahs of Ankara, will they join the BLOCKADE that “country of infidels, until an ayatollah replaces the Catholicos at Ejmiatsin“?

AAH!! Good old ottoman days of “suleyman the magnificent” aka er-DOG-an!!

PS. How long will ankara remain a partner in NATO, whatever the H it may mean? Greece is also a NATO member.

**At times “ghost” is replaced with “spirit”. In either case, to me they all mean “genie”, from the Arabic “jin/jan/հոգի.

Russia, Iran and Turkey Test Washington

By SABRINA TAVERNISE

ISTANBUL — Leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran convened at a security summit meeting in Istanbul on Tuesday in a display of regional power that appeared to be calculated to test the United States just days before a scheduled American-backed debate in the United Nations Security Council on imposing tighter sanctions over Iran’s nuclear program.

In remarks at the gathering of regional leaders, the third of its kind dedicated to increasing cooperation and security in Asia, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran said a nuclear agreement brokered by Turkey and Brazil last month was a one-time opportunity and other countries had called to express their support for it.

“We’ve seen a lot of support from the international arena,” he said, according to the Turkey’s official Anatolian News Agency. “This is the voice of everyone’s heart.” Mr. Ahmadinejad also maintained a defiant posture toward the United States.

“If the U.S. and its allies think they could hold the stick of sanctions and then sit and negotiate with us, they are seriously mistaken,” he told a news conference, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV satellite broadcaster. European and American officials say the vote on sanctions could come as early as Wednesday.

Mr. Ahmadinejad said Iran would not repeat its recent offer to send part of its stockpile out of Iran for enrichment. The accord, supported by Brazil and Turkey, was designed to break the deadlock over its nuclear program, according to Iran.

“The Tehran declaration provided an opportunity for the United States government and its allies. We had hoped and we are still hopeful that they use the opportunity well,” Mr. Ahmadinejad said. “I must say opportunities like this will not be repeated again.”

He added: “We were thinking that the United States President Barack Obama would make certain changes in the United States policies. We don’t say that we are hopeless. We hope that he can actually get over the present conditions in the time that remains. We are ready for dialogue within the frame of justice and respect.”

The United States contends Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, while Iran argues its nuclear program is peaceful. The deal brokered by Turkey and Brazil last month was based on parts of a previous United Nations-backed offer for Tehran to give up 1,200 kilograms of low enriched uranium in exchange for special fuel for a medical research reactor.

But the agreement infuriated the United States, which is trying to persuade other members of the Security Council, including China and Russia, to vote for tighter sanctions.

Mr. Ahmadinejad was to meet separately on Tuesday with the Russian prime minister, Vladimir V. Putin, at the conference, a move that is likely to worry the United States, which won the support of both Russia and China for sanctions this month.

Mr. Putin, speaking at the conference, said sanctions should not be “excessive” but gave no details on whether Russia would change its mind on the vote. He called Iran’s nuclear program peaceful, a characterization with which Washington disagrees.

“I hold the opinion that this resolution should not be unnecessary, should not put Iran’s leadership or the Iranian people into difficulty,” Mr. Putin said.

The conference reinforces the shifting alignments in this complicated area, where regional powers like Iran and Turkey, a NATO member, are emerging as bigger players.

Turkey, whose relationship with its longtime ally Israel is fraying, has been mediating in the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East in a new activist foreign policy that has sometimes placed it at odds with Washington, its closest diplomatic and military partner.
