US House Unanimously Adopts Resolution Urging Turkey to Safeguard its Christian Heritage Calls for Return of Confiscated Church Properties

WASHINGTON, DC - The US House of Representatives unanimously adopted via a voice vote, H. Res. 306 on Tuesday, urging the Republic of Turkey to safeguard its Christian heritage and to return confiscated church properties to their rightful owners.

As considered on the House floor, H. Res. 306 mirrors a bipartisan amendment (Berman- Cicilline) that overwhelmingly passed in the House Foreign Affairs Committee by a vote of 43-1 earlier this year.

The resolution was drafted by two California lawmakers, Republican Ed Royce and Democrat Howard Berman. “Despite Prime Minister [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan’s recent claims of progress on religious freedom, Turkey’s Christian communities continue to face severe discrimination,” Royce said after the House vote.

Berman spoke of “Turkey’s disturbing, persistent failure to respect the ancient Christian heritage of Anatolia.” “Turkey should take immediate steps to restore all confiscated church property and allow full freedom of worship and religious education for all Christian communities,” he said.

The legislation urges Turkey to safeguard its Christian heritage and to return confiscated church properties by doing the following:

1) end all forms of religious discrimination;

2) allow the rightful church and lay owners of Christian church properties, without hindrance or restriction, to organize and administer prayer services, religious education, clerical training, ap- pointments, and succession, religious community gatherings, social services, including ministry to the needs of the poor and infirm, and other religious activities;

3) return to their rightful owners all Christian churches and other places of worship, monaster- ies, schools, hospitals, monuments, relics, holy sites, and other religious properties, including mov- able properties, such as artwork, manuscripts, vestments, vessels, and other artifacts; and

4) allow the rightful Christian church and lay owners of Christian church properties, without hindrance or restriction, to preserve, reconstruct, and repair, as they see fit, all Christian churches and other places of worship, monasteries, schools, hospitals, monuments, relics, holy sites, and oth- er religious properties within Turkey. Ankara was quick to denounce the resolution. The official Anatolia news agency quoted the Turkish ambassador in Washington, Namik Tan, as calling it “unfair and unjustified.”

ARTEM ALIKHANIAN 1908 - 1978

Artem Alikhanian, one of the founders and first director of the Yerevan Physics Institute, was born on June 24, 1908. In 1931 he has graduated from Leningrad State University (Physics). In 1930 he became a staff-member at Leningrad Physical and Technical Institute working on radioactivity and nu- clei research together with his brother A. Alikhanov. For these investigations both brothers were awarded the USSR State Prize. In 1942 two brothers ini- tiated a scientific mission on Mt.Aragats in order to search for the third (pro-

10

ton) component of cosmic rays. Together with T. Asatiani A. Alikhanian found so called nar- row showers in cosmic rays, established the first evidence of the existence in cosmic rays of the particles with masses between that of muon and proton. In 1948 A. Alikhanov and A. Alik- hanian were awarded the USSR State Prize for the investigation of cosmic rays. The founda- tion of cosmic ray station on Mt.Aragats at 3250 m above sea level was one of the steps aimed on the development of nuclear and particle physics in Armenia. This station remains the main national cosmic ray centre until now. In 1943 two brothers participated in the foundation of the Armenian Academy of Sciences, established in the frames of the Academy the Yerevan Phys- ics Institute. A. Alikhanian became its Director for the next 30 years. In 1956 A. Alikhanian (together with A. Alikhanov and V. Hambartsumian) initiated the creation of the Yerevan Syn- chrotron with 6 GeV energy of electrons and headed the design and construction of this ma- chine, that was accomplished in 1967. The results obtained later on at Yerevan synchrotron on meson photoproduction by unique beam of polarized gamma-quanta, investigations on transi- tion and channeling radiations are well-known among the scientific community. A.Alikhanian paid much attention to the development of the new experimental methods. For the works on wide-gap track spark chambers in 1970 A.Alikhanian (together with the colleagues from Yere- van, Moscow and Tbilisi) was awarded the Lenin Prize. Later he initiated the works on x-ray transition radiation detectors, based on the theoretical predictions made at YerPhI and experi- ments carried out at Yerevan synchrotron. The detectors of such type were widely used in ac- celerator and cosmic ray experiments at many centres worldwide. A.Alikhanian supported also applied research using the beams from Yerevan synchrotron, mainly on solid state physics and biophysics. After all he was an outstanding personality with very many friends in the artistic world.

In a memorable ceremony the new monument to Arem Alikha- nian was unveiled at the main square of the Yerevan Physics In- stitute (YerPhI), on February 12, 2009. Artem Alikhanian is the founder and first director of Yerevan Physics institute, currently bearing his name.

The 100 year anniversary of the renowned scientist was celebrated last year in a number of events organized by YerPhi. A portion of the sum provided by the Armenian government for the remembrance of this world renowned Armenian scientist was dedicated to the commissioning and erection of this new monu- ment. Alikhanian’s new monument by sculptor Gevorg Gevor- gyan, depicts the character and magnitude of this giant of interna- tional science.

French Parliament Commission Adopts Law on Punishing Armenian Genocide Denial Turkey Warns France of “Irreparable Damage”

PARIS, ANKARA -- French parliament’s commission on constitutional laws adopted bill intro- duced by Valerie Boyer (UMP) and her colleagues on transposition of the right on struggle against racism and punishment of Armenian Genocide denial.

The document envisages punishment for denying the fact of genocides adopted by law, the statement on parliament’s website says.

A similar socialist bill was passed October 12, 2006 by the National Assembly but was rejected by the Senate on May 4, 2011.

This new text, co-signed by more than forty UMP and New Center, punishes Armenian geno- cide denial to one year of prison and 45.000 euros fine.

“I hope that we will go to the end and that France will always be a country of human rights,” said Valerie Boyer.

The bill amends the law on freedom of press, so that racially motivated crimes are now a common crime en- shrined in the law on the freedom of press.

The proposal must be approved by vote of Parliament in the coming weeks.

Turkey’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement warning of “irreparable damage” that could ensue should France’s latest move to criminalize denying the Armenian Genocide passes in the French parliament.

“The French authorities are well aware of the sensitivity of this issue [the Armenian genocide] for our country.. At a time when the Turkey-France cooperation opportunities could enter a devel- opment phase, such initiatives would reflect negatively on the course. And the initiating side of all this would bear the responsibility for the consequences. We expect from France to assist so that the disagreement between Turkey and Armenia, in connection with history, be settled through dia- logue,” Turkish MFA’s statement reads. The statement notes that the bill, concerning the events in 1915, is included in France’s agenda dur- ing the pre-election season.”

Armenian-American Businessman Nareg Hartounian Target of Government Harassment

YEREVAN -- Armenian-American businessman Nareg Hartounian has accused authorities in Armenia of harassing him and his family after being unexpectedly set free pending investigation in- to alleged tax evasion by one of his Yerevan-based firms.

Hartounian and two employees of the food-importing company GH Storage Enterprise were greeted by dozens of friends and sympathizers at his Naregatsi Art Institute shortly after their re- lease late on Tuesday.

The three were arrested on Saturday on charges of “malevolently” evading 111 million drams in taxes ($290,000) since 2009.

12

Hartounian flatly denied the accusations, saying that the tax evasion case is the latest in a se- ries of punitive actions taken against him and his family by Armenian law-enforcement bodies.

“The purpose of that is to exert pressure on and steal real estate from our family, which has made investments,” he told RFE/RL’s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). “In the past year we have endured a lot of harassment and threats.”

“This [arrest] was the continuation of that,” he claimed.

Hartounian refused to name “concrete individuals” who he said have set sights on the family assets. “I think it makes no sense to name them,” he said.

Asked where he is too scared to identify them, he said, “I’ve just come out of jail. Let me get some rest.”

One of his lawyers alleged earlier this week that the businessman was arrested because his family refused to sell a 34 percent share in a Yerevan-based manufacturing plant to a group of gov- ernment-linked individuals.

Meanwhile, the State Revenue Committee (SRC), whose investigating division carried out the arrests, said on Wednesday that the three suspects were released from pre-trial detention at their own request. In a written statement, the SRC said the release is meant to help them “fulfill tax li- abilities more effectively.”

One of the defense lawyers, Lernik Hovannisian, denied that, saying that none of his clients asked to be freed. He also said that while GH Storage Enterprise may have committed some tax “vi- olations” the figure cited by the SRC is grossly inflated. Hartunian, who has carried out a number of charitable programs, in 2002, founded Narekatsi Art Union in the United States, which has branches in Yerevan and Shushi, which have become popular and active cultural centers. Exhibitions, musical events, theatrical performances, film shows, book presentations, and vocational trainings for artists are held free of charge at the union.

Aznavour:Armenia Experiences Internal Genocide

MOSCOW. – Armenia currently experiences internal genocide, which is not acceptable politi- cally, French-Armenian singer Charles Aznavour said in the interview with Life Showbiz.

“My state currently experiences internal genocide. I believe it is politically not acceptable. Not letting Armenia breathe, the government is depriving its own country of the young, making them leave. And in that respect, the issue has stopped being only political, it has become universal. It has to be solved,” the singer stated.

Aznavour was in Moscow as part of his “Aznavour Toujours” world tour. He gave a concert in the Kremlin on Monday. After the concert he left for Switzerland immediately where he had moved several years ago from France.

Aznavour’s statement stirred some heated debate on social networking websites, with Arme- nian online community members mostly praising Aznavour’s frankness.

According to state-run Armenpress news agency Aznavour has reportedly denied making such a statement saying “I have never said such a thing. I believe this was the result of wrong translation.”

But political commentator of the Shant TV channel Artyom Yerkanian stated that he had per- sonally heard Aznavour’s controversial statement. “I was at the press conference and heard his answer. Aznavour had verbatim said what was later published, word by word, and we can only guess why he renounced it later,” Yerkanyan said.

YEREVAN -- Three people reportedly burned alive in a major car crash in capital Yerevan at midnight on December 7.

Two passenger cars – a VAZ 2102 Zhiguli and a BMW – crashed into each other on a bridge in Rubinyants street. Subsequent fire which broke out in the former vehicle left all three passengers dead. The driver of the other car escaped with a knee injury.

The driver of Zhiguli had evidently lost control, colliding with the left front corner of the BMW car. Official data will be available after expert examinations.

The BMW driver did not reportedly suffer serious injuries and complained only of knee pains.

This is the second time this year that accident victims have burned inside their vehicles. In May, four people were burned alive and another nine were injured in a single major car collision in Yerevan involving a GAZelle minibus and a Mercedes-Benz car whose driver was drunk.

According to data reported by the Armenian road police, a total of 1,866 road accidents were regis- tered in the republic in January-October 2011, in which 249 people were killed and 2,734 injured.

Serzh Sarkisian Calls on Turkey to Repent and Face its History

MARSEILLE -- President Serzh Sarkisian said Turkey must face its history urging it to “re- pent” for the World War One-era massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire and expressed confidence that Ankara will eventually recognize them as genocide.

“We believe that Turkey must repent,” he said during a visit to France’s second largest city of Marseille late on Wednesday. “That is neither a precondition nor a desire to exact revenge. Turkey must come face to face with its history.”

“One day Turkey’s leadership will find the strength to reassess its approaches to the Armenian Genocide,” Sarkisian said, speaking at an official reception organized in his honor by Marseille’s Mayor Jean-Claude Gaudin and attended by prominent members of the local Armenian community.

“Sooner or later Turkey, which considers itself a European country, will have a truly European leadership that will bow its head at the Tsitsernakabert [genocide memorial in Yerevan,]” claimed the Armenian leader. “The sooner the better, but that is up to the Turkish people.”

“Our position has not changed. We are ready to have relations with Turkey as a neighboring state,” he said brining an example of Germany and Poland. “Chancellor Willy Brandt bent his knee in the Warsaw Ghetto admitting his country’s guilt,” Sarkisian said.

Sarkisian had words of praise to French president Sarkozy, "the recent visit of President Nico- las Sarkozy to Yerevan was a historic visit indeed, and no other state leader have spoken the words about our nation’s pains, related to the Armenian-Turkish relations and the Genocide, and we should be grateful to the wise President of this glorious country.” he said In his speech, Sarkisian did not mention the future of the Turkish-Armenian normalization agree- ments signed two years ago. Earlier this year, he threatened to withdraw Yerevan’s signature from the agreements if Ankara continues to make their parliamentary ratification contingent on the reso- lution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The President of Lebanon Michel Suleiman Visits Armenia

YEREVAN -- The President of Lebanon Michel Suleiman arrived in Yerevan on Wednesday for an official 3- day accompanied by his Wafaa Suleiman and government officials.

On Friday morning, President Suleiman visited the Tsitsernakaber Memorial and paid tribute to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide, laid a wreath at the monument and planted a tree at the Alley of Memory.

Earlier, Suleiman was received by an official welcoming ceremony at the Presidential Palace, where the two leaders of Lebanon and Armenia held a tête-à-tête meeting, which was followed by the negotiations of the delegations in the extended format.

Welcoming the President of Lebanon, Serzh Sarkisian noted that traditional friendly ties of the two peoples re- quire further deepening of bilateral relations.

“I held a lengthy discussion with President Serzh Sarkisian and we discussed the means to strengthen the relations between our countries and our people in different areas,” said Suleiman during a joint news conference with Sarkisian, who presented Suleiman with the country’s Medal of Honor.

“We also discussed the current regional and international developments,” Suleiman added.

Speaking at the conference, Suleiman reiterated Lebanon’s full support for stability in Armenia and the South Caucus region,.

“I also reiterated to President Sarkisian that on the 20th anniversary of Armenia’s independ- ence, Lebanon would continue to stand by Armenia and would support finding diplomatic solutions to conflicts that persist with some of its neighbors ... especially the ongoing conflict over Nagorno- Karabakh,” said Suleiman.

In his remarks during the joint press conference, Sarkisian strongly criticized Azerbaijan on Friday for mobilizing Muslim countries to support its position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“I pointed out that Azerbaijan is stubbornly trying to present the conflict in the light of reli- gious disagreements within the framework of Islamic countries,” he said . “I think that in case of more or less knowing the history of the Armenian people and the cause of the [Karabakh] conflict it’s impossible to trust in such an approach.”

“Nevertheless, we find that approach extremely dangerous because there are also circles unfa- miliar with those details and such anti-Armenian propaganda may not end up without conse- quences,” Sarkisian told the joint news conference. Sarkisian appeared to refer to pro-Azerbaijani statements repeatedly issued by Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) that unites 57 countries with predominantly Muslim populations, including Lebanon. Many of them also voted in 2008 for a UN General Assembly resolution that demanded the “immediate, complete and unconditional with- drawal of Armenian forces” from occupied Azerbaijani lands.

Armenian Governor Avoids Prosecution Despite Assault

YEREVAN -- Surik Khachatrian, an Armenian regional governor no- torious for reportedly violent conduct, will not be prosecuted despite being found guilty of assaulting a businesswoman who accused him of fraud, law- enforcement authorities said on Tuesday.

The announcement all but ended speculation that Khachatrian, who runs Armenia’s southeastern Syunik province, may be sacked after yet an- other scandal.

Silva Hambardzumian, who has business interests in Syunik, claimed on November 14 to have been attacked and hit by Khachatrian in the lobby of a Yerevan hotel.

The incident took place just days after Hambardzumian alleged at a news conference that a mining company owned by him misappropriated mining equipment worth more than 100 million drams ($263,000) from an- other firm belonging to her. She also accused Khachatrian of forcing an Australian firm to sell a gold mine located in the mountainous region bordering Iran.

Citing eyewitness accounts and footage from hotel security cameras, the SIS said on Tuesday that Khachatrian did slap Hambardzumian in the face at the Armenia Marriott Hotel and now “regrets” his actions. But it said the vio- lence does not count as a “beating” because it did not involve multiple blows or cause the victim any physical inju- ries.

Khachatrian, who is better known in Armenia with his “Liska” nickname, has held sway in the Syunik town of Goris and nearby villages ever since the early 1990s. Independent media outlets in Yerevan have long implicated him and his relatives in violent attacks on local business rivals as well as government critics, including a Syunik newspaper editor whose car was set on fire in 2005.

The controversial governor has always denied involvement in such incidents and denounced opposition politi- cians and pro-opposition media for branding him a crime figure.

Khachatrian risked dismissal in 2008 as he faced an embarrassing government inquiry into a newspaper report that accused him of beating up a teenage boy. He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. The SIS’s decision not to press charges against him was denounced on Tuesday by human rights activists as further proof of impunity enjoyed by influential individuals close to Armenia’s political leadership.

Ambassador Edward Djerejian’s Remarks on Armenia, the Region and the Church

On the weekend of December 3-4 special celebrations were held at St. Kevork Armenian Church of Houston, Texas, to observe the 30th anniversary of the church, the 20th anniver- sary of the independence of the Republic of Armenia, and the 40th anniversary of Archbishop Barsamian's ordination into the holy priesthood.

The banquet Keynote speaker Ambassador Edward P. Djerejian, the founding director of the James Baker Institute for Public Policy at nearby Rice University and a former U.S. Am- bassador to Syria and Israel, spoke about Armenia's development and encouraged people in the diaspora to "be strong advocates of democracy in Armenia." Following is the full text of his remarks.

Your Eminencc Archbishop Barsamian, members of the clergy, distinguished guests and friends.

It is truly an honor for me to participate in today's commemorations with several signif1cant anniversaries to celebrate—the 30th anniversary of St. Kevork Church of Houston, the 20th anniver- sary of Armenia's independence after the fall of the Soviet Union, and the 40th anniversary of Archbishop Barsamian's ordination into the holy priesthood. By my count that adds up to 90 years of commemorations. That is quite an Armenian package deal!

I have been asked to make some remarks on the significance of the milestones we are com- memorating today. Concerning the 30th anniversary of our Armenian Church here in Houston and

16

His Eminence Archbishop Barsamian’s distinguished and long service to the Armenian Church and people, I wish to first underscore the historic importance of the Armenian Church and its clergy as a central factor in the life of the Armenian people and nation.

When I was assigned to the United States Embassy in Moscow where I was the Political Counselor during President Jimmy Carter's Administration, it was a very diff1cult period following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Toward the end of our tour of duty, my wife and I and our young son visited Soviet Armenia. The Armenian Communist Party leadership was a bit nervous about my visit, given the adversarial state of US-Soviet relations at that time, and their suspicion that I might try to stir up Armenian nationalist sentiment.

In stark contrast, our visit was warmly welcomed by the Armenian Church and by Vehapar Vasken I, who received us in Etchmiadzin. We had a direct introduction to the central role of the Armenian Church as the symbol of Armenian nationalism. After my rather fruitless and protoco- laire meetings with government officials in Yerevan, I was met by a young, staunchly nationalist Armenian priest who escorted us on our first visit to Etchmiadzin. While the car was passing under the red Soviet propaganda banners displayed across the road, the young priestasked me if I could read Russian and I replied affirmatively. He then said, what does that banner say? I replied, "The unity of the people and the Communist Party." The priest then turned his head toward me and said, "You are not a good Armenian." Rather surprised, I asked why not. He replied that "a real Armenian would have read that banner to say "the unity of the people and the Church." I got the point, and we were, indeed, on our way to Etchmiadzin; this young Armenian priest's words would prove to be es- pecially prophetic a decade later.

The challenge for Armenians in Armenia and throughout the Diaspora today is to work together to ensure that Armenia realizes the true fruits of independence by evolving as a truly democratic state living under the rule of law, providing its people with economic prosperity and security, and pursuing an enlightened foreign policy that maximizes Armenia's great potential to be a cul- tural, economic, commercial, scientific and democratic center in the Caucasus and as a regional bridge between the North and South and the East and West.

The role of the Armenian Diaspora in supporting Armenia's evolution is critical. Armenians living in countries which enjoy the fruits of liberty, democracy and the benefits of private mar- ket economies want, 1am convinced, that Armenia will evolve as a strong and stable democracy en- dowed with freedom and the rule of law as the hallmarks of the Armenian political system. Arme- nia, since it became an independent republic in 1991, set out on this path. But this evolution must be consolidated. These democratic ideals are real values that Armenians both in Armenia and in the Diaspora hold to be dear. Especially, as Americans, we must be true to our values and must be strong advocates of democracy in Armenia.

Democracy and economic development and reforms go hand in hand. Armenia's business envi- ronment, economic development and foreign investment must be promoted in a more even and transparent manner. Over the past decade, Armenia has achieved economic growth in spite of being cut off from markets (13.3% GDP growth in 2006 and an estimated 13.8% GDP growth in 2007 but a real decline to an estimated 4.6% in 2011).

Unemployment in 2010 was 7%, which is lower than here in the United States. Furthermore, the World Bank recently reported that doing business in Armenia has become easier over the past year due to tax and regulatory reforms. Still, Armenia must do better and attract additional foreign investment.

Concerning the Diaspora's role in investment in Armenia and despite the structural problems, several Diaspora investors are active in Armenia. Much more needs to be done to encourage and fa- cilitate investment from other Armenians in the Diaspora who live in the countries of Europe, the United States, Latin America and the Middle East.

However, to accomplish this, the rule of law and anti-corruption policies need to be more vig- orously pursued.

Unfortunately, one of Armenia's most important exports has been its people. This is particu- larly troubling given the small size of Armenia. With a population of less than three million, Arme- nia can ill afford to lose its "best and brightest."

Further, Armenia must look at current trends in the region. The Russian-Georgia conflict de- stabilized the Caucasus region and beyond. Russia is asserting itself in the "near abroad." While Armenia's relations with Russia will remain very important, Armenia must avoid becoming over- dependent on Russia. Turkey is looking westward, seeking to be part of the European Community, while strengthening its ties in the Middle East and Central Asia and improving its relationship with the United States. Georgia and Azerbaijan are actively pursuing stronger relations with the West.

17

Iran’s future direction remains problematic, but it is a major regional player. Increasingly, change in Iran is not a question of if, but of when. Iran’s policies will have important implications for Armenia, a neighboring border country.

Armenia’s relations with the United States are very important and involve interaction on issues such as non-proliferation and border security, international narcotics, money laundering and the trafficking in persons, and the development of democratic institutions and sustainable economic growth. Washington also appreciated Armenia’s support in Iraq.

Thus, the promise for Armenia’s security and prosperity rests with following the major trends toward regional and international integration. Armenia can no longer risk being “the odd man out.” Indeed, Armenia should rediscover and reaffirm its historic role as a bridge between the North and South, and the East and West.

Armenians recognize that open borders with its neighbors will bring peace and prosperity. The government of Armenia should continue efforts that will benefit the country in the long-term: Namely, serious efforts within the OSCE Minsk Group process on Nagorno-Karabakh and work to- ward establishment of full diplomatic relations with Turkey should remain top priorities. The Di- aspora should strongly discourage the false idea that time is on Armenia's side. Further, I believe the key issue of the Armenian Genocide can best be resolved within the context of improved state to state relations between Armenia and Turkey.

Every year without full relations with neighbors comes with huge opportunity costs for Arme- nia. For example, the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline's most economically commercial routing would have been through Armenia. Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey will benefit from this energy-related com- mercial linkage. Despite Azerbaijan's current internal political difficulties, its economic and mili- tary potential will only grow in the years ahead. Rhetorically, this was underscored by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliev in 2005, who boasted of his country's military muscle at a rally of the ruling party in the capital of Baku: "Azerbaijan has recently got the upper hand in negotiations with Ar- menia over the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Military and economic potential are on our side. We will get our lands back," Aliev said. While this militant posturing docs little to help the situation, it docs reveal the fact that Armenia's current military advantage is only temporary, and should not be taken for granted.

Despite the rhetoric and looking ahead, Armenia and Azerbaijan, with the help of the interna- tional community, must make every effort to resolve the Nagorno-Karabagh issue in a timely and comprehensive manner. Let me make clear that the window of opportunity will not remain open for too long.

In 1999 and in my current capacity as the Director of the Baker Institute at Rice University we conducted a conflict resolution mission and flew to Baku and to Yerevan to help facilitate the nego- tiations between the parties on the issue of Nagorno-Karabagh. We were received at the highest levels in both countries and did what we could to move the process forward. I was heartened later in 2001 by the high level involvement of President George W. Bush, and then Secretary of State Colin Powell and the State Department team in urging the parties to move forward. A unique opportunity with the highest level of United States involvement to achieve a peaceful settlement was missed by the Azeri and Armenian leadership. I am convinced that a negotiated settlement is still possible. But it will take strong political will on the part of the leadership obtains the support of the people of both countries. Such an approach would be an important confidence building measure.

What concerns me the most now is that it has been well over a decade since the NagornoKara- bagh ceasefire; and failed efforts to find a negotiated settlement are resulting in the hardening of political attitudes amongst certain domestic constituencies in both Armenia and Azerbaijan. It would indeed be a tragedy if the willingness expressed by the leaders of both Armenia and Azerbai- jan to make a lasting peace coupled with the progress made in recent years during negotiations at different levels should all falter. Both sides must take steps now to confront those groups, both in Armenia and Azerbaijan that have vested interests in the status quo. Without a determined effort of public diplomacy, the entrenched hard-line posturing on all sides could become one of the most se- rious obstacles to peace.

Even if there is no outbreak of fighting in the near term, the absence of an agreement will have a major negative effect posing an obstacle to the political economic and social development and progress of both Armenia and Azerbaijan and can lead to regional instability in the South Caucasus. But again, it is not just the peace process itself that is the sole challenge. The need to "sell" and se- cure any peace deal is an equally difficult challenge for both sides. Here the Armenian Diaspora can playa more constructive role in encouraging the parties to negotiate. In conclusion, Armenia and Armenians in and outside of Armenia face formidable challenges. But much has been achieved. The Armenian Church is playing a dynamic and revitalized role in the life

18

of the Armenian people. The Armenian nation has achieved its independence and has the capacity to prosper and become a true crossroads in Europe and the Middle East. I am optimistic as long as we all put our shoulders to the wheel and work for peace and prosperity for Armenia and its people. In this respect, I think you will all agree with mc that the role of all of us in the Diaspora is very im- portant. So as we celebrate the three anniversaries today, let us dedicate ourselves to the future of the Armenian Church and the people of Armenia in the homeland and in the Diaspora

Abris, Garin! Kudos to Our Youth!

By Silva Karayan, Ph.D.

Many of us havea dream....that one day, our youth will carry the torch of leadership to pre- serveand promote our rich cultural heritage and will take the Armenian nation to new heights in the arts, sciences, literature, as well as in diplomacy, civic responsibility and service to the community. We have a dream ....that our youth will have the courage and determination to excel in all of their undertakings and will lead by example through mentoring and empowering the younger genera- tions.

Well ... that dream was realized for many of us on Friday, December 2, 2011 at the Zorayan Museum of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church in Burbank. It was a heart warming ex- perience to see so many young, energetic and enthusiastic youth greeting the guests and welcoming them warmly to a much anticipated event, that was organized, managed and presented entirely by a group of dedicated professionals, who are proud of their national identity and are ready and willing to help preserve and promote our culture.

GarinHovannisian, the son of RaffiHovannisian and grandson of Prof. Richard Hovannisian, was the central figure, the hero of the evening, who presented his much acclaimed book entitled “Family of Shadows”. The opening remarks of the master of ceremonies, Michael Sinanian, were impressive and paved the way for Garin’s captivating and genuine presentation of the story of his family. It was inspiring, moving, interesting, and captivating all at the same time. I was pleas- antly surprised to hear the good news that Garin’s book had already been translated into Armenian and is available to our Armenian reading audience.

My first“ introduction” to Garin was through my niece, Talin N. Babayan, who was one of his classmates at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in New York City. That eve- ning it was a great pleasure to meet Garin in person and congratulate him. Abris, Garin!

Kudos should also go to this group of exemplary young Armenian professionals and university students, who enjoy the support and endorsement of the Primate of the Western Diocese, Archbish- op HovnanDerderian. Congratulations and thanks also to Mrs. Alice Chakerian, a dedicated leader and role model, who is the driving force behind many innovative projects supporting the Armenian Church, Armenian education and the community at large.

Pres. Sargsyan Makes Major Strategic Shift in Armenia's Demands from Turkey By Harut Sassounian Publisher, The California Courier

Pres. Serzh Sargsyan delivered a major speech in Marseille, France, last week, during which he introduced a new strategy for the resolution of Armenia's demands from Turkey. Until now, the Arme- nian government had merely pursued the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

For the first time, the President spoke about Armenia's demand for “justice.” To ensure that his message was received loud and clear, he repeated the word "justice" three times in three separate sentences: -- “Every Armenian demands justice, whether he or she lives in Armenia, Artsakh or the Diaspora.” -- “We were strong enough to survive the Meds Yeghern [Great Calamity], and we are just as strong now to demand justice.” The President used the term “Armenian Genocide” six times in other parts of his speech. -- “That was the joyful news for justice, not revenge,” Pres. Sargsyan stated, describing the joy of Marseille Armenians in 1921, when they heard the acquittal of Soghomon Tehlirian, Talat's assassin, by a German court.

Surprisingly, not a single political commentator in Armenia, Turkey or elsewhere took note of the signifi- cant shift in the approach articulated by Pres. Sargsyan. Seeking “justice” for the victims of genocide is a completely different objective than simply attaining recognition. In this context, the word “justice” en- compasses the undoing of as much of the damage as possible, by demanding the restitution and return of all looted assets, confiscated properties, and occupied territories.

While advancing a more comprehensive set of demands from Turkey, Pres. Sargsyan expressed hisconviction that the day would come when Turkey's leaders would acknowledge themass crimes committed by their predecessors: “We are confident that Turkey will repent. That is neither a pre- condition nor a desire to exact revenge. Turkey must face its own history. Someday, Turkey's leadership would find the strength to reassess its approach to the Armenian Genocide. Our position has not changed -- it is clear cut. We are prepared to establish normal relations with Turkey, befitting neighboring countries. For example, neighboring countries Poland and Germany led by Chancellor Willy Brandt, acknowledging his country's terrible crimes, dropped to his knees at the Warsaw Ghetto. Sooner or later, Turkey, a self- described European country, will have a leadership worthy of being called European, which will bow its head at the Tsitsernagapert [Genocide] Memorial. The sooner the better, but, that's the prerogative of the Turkish people. We cannot impose anything on them. They should do that for the sake of the Turkish peo- ple, just as Willy Brandt did for the sake of the German people.”

Egemen Bagis, Turkey's Minister for European Union Affairs, perhaps not comprehending the far reach- ing consequences of Pres. Sargsyan's demand for “justice,” reacted angrily to other parts of the Armenian President’s remarks. Bagis arrogantly stated: “There is no power in the world that could bring the Turkish people to its knees. On the contrary, the Turkish people know full well how to bring to their knees those who make such ill-informed statements.”

I fully endorse Pres. Sargsyan's new approach to the pursuit of Armenian demands from Turkey. Through my columns, speeches, interviews, and private meetings, I have repeatedly urged Armenia’s leaders to de- mand “justice” from Turkey, rather than simply seeking genocide recognition. One of my articles on this topic, “Genocide Recognition and Quest for Justice,” was published last year in The International & Com- parative Law Review of the Loyola Law School of Los Angeles.

Armenia is better off presenting its claims from Turkey in terms of seeking “justice,” to avoid the danger of making official territorial demands from a powerful and menacing neighbor. Nevertheless, the demand for “justice” is a code word or shorthand for a comprehensive set of claims from Turkey. Not even Turkey's denialist leaders would dare challenge the universally-accepted notion of “justice” based on the rule of law, specifically, international law.

While Pres. Sargsyan's remarks in Marseille are highly commendable, it remains to be seen how this newly articulated concept of seeking justice for the Armenian Genocide will be translated into action. What practical steps will the Armenian government, particularly the Foreign Ministry, take to demand justice from Turkey? Will Armenia back the lawsuits filed by Diaspora Armenian communities in American and European courts against Turkey, demanding restitution for Armenian losses during the Genocide or will Armenia bring its own lawsuit against the Republic of Turkey in the World Court?

FATHER FRANK’S RANTS - Scapegoats

Rant Number 468 15 December 2011

The fall guy. Yank slang for ‘an easy victim’. Theologically: the scapegoat. Hot stuff, folks. Because we live in murky scapegoating times.

Rule Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never will be slaves! Such the patriotic mood created by PM David Cameron’s refusal to be enslaved to the Merkozy EU project. Most Britons agree with Bulldog Cameron, the polls say. So, if not Britannia, Europhobia rules. Cameron has saved Britain – or the City bankers, perhaps – from European bondage. Europe - the fons et origo of all of Britain’s ills. So, Europe is Britain’s current fall guy. Actually, Europe=Germany. Germany: Britain’s scapegoat.

To dig this, you must, as always, go back to the Word of God. Check the awesome ritual for the Day of Atonement is in Leviticus XVI: 6-10. Learn about the scapegoat there. Aaron, Moses’ brother and the first of Israel’s High Priests, extends his hands over the head of a live male goat, recites the sins of the Israelites and thus transfers their sins to the animal. The scapegoat is then driven out into the wilderness to the demon, Azazel. (If you really fancy it, take a trip to the Liverpool Art Gallery and see Holman Hunt’s painting of the wretched beast. It made me feel sad.) Sounds stupid? Savage? Primitive? Well, you can’t expect a priest to criticise Aaron, the father of all priests, can you? Regardless, the archaic rite enshrines a deep, universal psychological truth – the necessity for a scapegoat.

I will call a spade a spade. Europhobes hanker after scapegoats. Europhobia really is euphemism for Germanophobia – with a dash of Gallic xenophobia thrown in, for good measure. It must be galling, truly unbearable for the Brits. France, which they saved from les boches in WW2, now gangs up with Germany against the Brits. The same Brits who, along with that other degenerate, lost German tribe, the Yanks, by 1945 reduced Deutschland to a pile of rubble. Yet, the cocky Krauts now economically run Europe. How can it be? It drives the Tories crazy. Churchill must be turning over in his grave. It does not make sense but...it is true. Hence, the hunt for a scapegoat.

Scapegoating, however, works on the continent, too. Europeans (here meaning French and Germans, the ones who really run the show – Southern Europe is for the cabaret) recall how England has always fought to prevent any single power from achieving hegemony over the continent. Louis XIV, Napoleon, Kaiser Wilhelm II, Hitler...a longish list. General de Gaulle’s dislike of the nation that gave him asylum in 1940 actually led him to veto Britain’s first attempt to join the EU. Still, the Frogs croak away: the Brits’ heart has never been in Europe. They always carp, moan and complain. Seek exemptions and rebates galore. Trafalgar Square, Waterloo Station – why do the Brits keep banging on about distant victories over France? Verily, England, une nation des boutiquiers. And now these petty shopkeepers threaten EU’s unity, they may leave the EU... Anglophobia? A bit, but, a French socialist nincompoop tried to turn the tables on Sarko, charging him with kissing les boches’ arse. Plus ca change...the eternal scapegoat again?

Back to Germany. The nation that matters. Look around you. The media are chock-a-block with anti-German slurs. Films, programmes, documentaries about WWII, Nazis and so on pullulate daily. A veritable epidemic, an orgy of Germanophobia. Welshman Simon Jenkins has written eloquently about the curious, pervasive ‘Nazification of evil’, meaning British obsession with WWII. (A safe industry: Adolf’s children having repudiated his heritage, the enemy won’t ever hit back.) All about celebrating ad nauseam Britain’s triumph over Germany. At work in school curricula, video games, the arts, history, films, papers, you name it. A sign of national insecurity, Jenkins observes. Sure, but also a sign of the need for a perennial scapegoat: blame the bloody, beastly foreigners!

It is tricky, however. The Jews’ ancient ceremony of Atonement, mandated by God through Moses, removed their faults by loading them unto the scapegoat. Israel’s God would see to it that it worked. And Israel’s goodly men, the prophets, warned and encouraged. But there is no such a guarantee for secular scapegoats. Britain’s evils cannot be exorcised and abolished by cursing the Third Reich. The destruction or degrading of British manufacturing, the mining industry and the national utilities was effected not by the Luftwaffe but by Maggie Thatcher. The mobs gleefully burning and sacking English city centres last summer did not seem blonde Aryans wearing swastika arm bands. Failing schools, youth crime, teen-age pregnancies, abortions, blasphemies – they won’t go away by re-running the WWII videotape. Nor are there any prophetic voices in our British desert. Only squalid obscenities and tired cacophonies.

Salvation will not come from those Tory MP’s cheering Bulldog Dave. Consider their striped suits, plummy accents, public school rhetoric. They are the incarnate symbols of a divided society: only 7% of English children go to fee-paying schools! Conservative, Labour and Lib-Dem politicians all swear by a ‘fairer and more equal society’. Yet the Tory brigade embody privilege on their faces and voices. Besides, the historic Britain they noisily invoke no longer exists. Bombing defenceless Libya might have given closet sadists an orgasm, but, austerity biting, Britain’s armed forces are on the wane. And British society has irrevocably changed. As John Cleese’s unfunny remark has it, ‘London is no longer an English city’. Tory MPs resemble those obsolete Roman patricians turning up their noses at the barbarous Goths in their midst. Rome had become the problem, not the barbarians...

Simon Schama, the pipsqueak little Dutch historian puffed up with media glory, warns in Newsweek against scapegoating. Blaming foreigners or immigrants. Quite right. As much as he dislikes Schama, the priest gives the devil his due. Whipping up xenophobia and hatred of the Other is stupid and wrong, whether the Other be German or Moroccan. The fault is primarily in ourselves. If Europeans were just, virtuous and, above all, Christian, they would not be in the mess they are now. No scapegoat, no fall guy can take Europe’s sins away.

Ancient Israel’s scapegoat was chased outside the city, into the desert, to the demon Azazel. But what if Azazel was now inside?

BADARAK AND CELEBRATION IN MANCHESTER

On Sunday, 4th December, the Right Reverend Dr. Vahan Hovhanessian, Bishop of the Armenian Church

of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, celebrated his first Badarak as Bishop in the sanctuary of Holy Trinity Armenian Church in Manchester. Participating in the Badarak were Revd Fr. Garegin Hambarstumyan, deacons, altar servers and members of the Holy Trinity Choir as well as members of the Primate’s Deacons’ Training Programme. In his sermon, H.G. Bishop Hovhanessian, reflected on the Scripture reading of the day: Luke 13:6- 9. “The Eternal God has created us with a purpose, giving each of us an eternal soul. It is God's will that we know Him and throughout the years of our lives develop a deep and genuine relationship with Him. According to the Holy Bible, it is exactly for this reason that God created man in His own image and likeness.” In that sense, added Bishop Hovhanessian, “it is expected from each and every one of us to produce “fruits” of faith based on our relationship with God and our commitment to Christ and His gospel.” Not only as individuals are we likened to a fruit-bearing tree, but also as a community and a nation. Our forefathers understood this and lived their lives, shaping the Armenian identity based on the teachings of the Gospel. “Today in the United Kingdom and Ireland,” added Bishop Hovhanessian, “we are all one big tree. Our roots are in Manchester where the first Armenian Church was erected 141 years ago, and the fruitful branches are the St. Sarkis and St. Yeghiche Churches in London and the Mission Parish Communities in Birmingham, Cardiff and Dublin. We need to work together, feeding and supporting each other and being fed and supported by each other.” His Grace concluded his sermon calling on the Armenians of Manchester to take an active role in revitalizing the Armenian Church in Manchester and all over the UK and Ireland. Following the sermon and requiem, Mr. Hagop Yeramian, chairman of the Board of Wardens, officially welcomed the Primate and introduced Mr. Tatto Couligian, chairman of the Holy Trinity Church Trust, who in turn welcomed the Primate and all the guests and thanked His Grace for visiting Manchester and celebrating the Badarak. To the surprise of the Primate and all present the children of the Holy Trinity Church Saturday School then were escorted to the chancel to offer a brief programme of Armenian and English hymns and carols. Bishop Vahan in turn thanked all and pointing to the very well prepared children’s “concert” added, “Thank God we are already enjoying the fruits of your labor in the vineyard of the Lord here in Manchester. God bless you all.

At the end of the luncheon, Mr. Tatto Couligian announced to all present that the Holy Trinity Church Trust, in appreciation of Bishop Vahan’s ministry and the successful achievements during the past year or so, is happy to donate £5000 toward the “Armenian Church Trust UK” to support the new and inspiring programmes designed and promoted by the Primate’s Office.

BIBLE STUDY GROUPS - UPDATE

For over a year now, the Continuing Education Ministry (CEM) of the Primate’s Office has been offering two Bible Study groups, which regularly meet at Nevart Gulbenkain Hall to read, discuss and interpret the Bible according to the Armenian Church traditions. During the past year we finished reading the Gospel of Mark and are almost done with the Book of Acts. Because of the forthcoming season of Christmas, with its family gatherings and celebration, the Primate’s Office decided to suspend the Bible Study meetings until the end of the year. The two groups will resume their study sessions in January 2012. There will be no Bible Study session this Friday, 16th December. Happy New Year!
