HETQ FORBIDDEN IN UAE

For a long time already the website of Hetq magazine is not
accessible in the United Arab Emirates. When trying to open the site
one can see the following lines, "We bring our apologies but the
site you are going to open has been blocked, as its contents
conflicts with the religious, cultural, political and moral values
of the UAE.
Why doesn't Hetq meet the above mentioned values? The fact is that
since June, 2005 Hetq has published the results of the journalist
investigation on the sale of women in the country. The journalists
described the ways the women from Armenian towns and villages found
themselves in the United Arab Emirates and were subjected to sexual
exploitation. Photos and names were published. The journalists found
out that Dubai policemen and members of the migration services are
involved in these criminal activities. The staff of Hetq is
convinced that the sale of women and their exploitation cannot be
viewed as "religious, cultural, political and moral values. The
reporter met with residents of Dubai and other cities, who
unanimously stated that their religion condemns sale of people and
sexual exploitation.

"We think that the local inhabitants, who helped the women to return
to the homeland, should know about the fate of these people.

We appeal to the UAE authorities to raise the taboo off the Hetq
website and appeal to international organizations to urge the UAE
leadership not to "clear" internet from critical articles about
their country', the statement issued by Hetq staff says.

The person below is the boss of the Armenian sex trade, Asad, who knows little Western Armenian because he is from Syria. Hetq.am has an article on Asad and the other criminals. Read here.

HETQ has been investigating the human trafficking which is one of the most important and most ignored problems in Armenia. By publishing the pictures of these Armenian dogs (pimps), I hope to promote trafficking awareness in Armenian website communities, so at least we know about the dogs and find ways to struggle against them.

The "cruelist pimp in Dubai" gets only one year in an Armenian court. The dog, lusine hakobyan, had ruined lives of many Armenian women, including underage teenagers. Targeting poor and unprotected families without a man in the house, dogs like lusine hakobyan get only one year in jail. Her "partner" anahit paid off the court and went back to Dubai…. and dies as a result of a car accident. When is this dog going to die?

No Payback for the Pimp

[July 11-18, 2005]

On July 8, the court completed its review of the case against well-known Dubai pimp Aisha, whose real name is Lusine Hakobyan. (See Also “ Another pimp in Court”). Judge Vazgen Lalayan of the Court of First Instance of Yerevan’s Nork Marash and Kentron Districts sentenced Aisha to a one-year probation. She is now free to get back to business.

Hakobyan had been charged by the Office of the Prosecutor General of the Republic of Armenia with “organizing pimping” in violation of Article 262 of the Armenian Criminal Code. Senior Prosecutor Armen Boshnagyan of the agency’s Department of Trafficking and Illegal Migration, seem to believe that the case against Hakobyan was strong. Taking into account Aisha’s statement’s during the investigation and the accounts of witnesses, Boshnagyan requested that, “Lusine Hakobyan be proven guilty according to the paragraph 1 of 262 Article of Armenian Criminal Code and be sentenced to 2 years in prison.” But he continued, “ Taking into account her responsibility and other mitigating factors she should no be imprisoned, according to Article 70 of the Armenian Criminal Code. Instead, a one year probationary period should be applied and her actions should be monitored by a local police institution.”

Photo: Dubai's biggest dog. Where is the Nemesis of our days? Are the crimes committed by this dog better than Talaat's?

Boshnagyan listed several reasons for seeking the lighter sentence. He said the defendant was the mother of a young child, had never been arrested before, and had not resisted arrest. Aisha’s attorney Hrach Isajanyan added several others, explaining that Aisha had confessed and expressed regret for her crimes, and had voluntarily surrendered to the Armenian police. Isajanyan added that her mother was ill. (During the first session of the court, however, Judge Lalayan noted that no document had been presented to prove that Aisha’s mother was sick, none has been presented since.) The defense lawyer claimed that even the probation sought by the prosecution was too harsh. “The proposed sentence is too strict because she has an underage child and a sick mother. She cannot be under the control of the police and she cannot check with police every 15 days. I think there should be a fine, instead, ” Isajanyan suggested.

On behalf of the Republic of Armenia , Judge Lalayan sentenced the pimp, who had confessed to “bossing” several prostitutes, to only one year of probation, during which time she is required to check in with the police 24 times. Aisha, who is known as the cruelest pimp in Dubai, said, “I feel very bad for the things I did. I ask you to forgive me. I promise this won’t happen again.”

"group of small boys and girls were stripped naked and hosed down with what was described as scalding hot water. When one of the children complained, the attendant was shown hitting him on the head with a fist-sized stone" – reports Turkish journalist Amberin Zaman on 28 October 2005 about Turkish abuses of orphans.

Nemesis News Editorial, 31 October 2005:

While many argue that Hitler and other Nazis had learned various genocidal techniques from the Turkish perpetrators of the Armenian genocide ( 1915-1923 ), the opposite statement might be true as much.

Photo: Turkish child in a government-sponsored hospital

As The New York Times reports on 29 September 2005, mentally ill citizens are being tortured and starved in government-funded Turkish hospitals and orphanages. Through electroshock and starvation, many disabled children have died, though exact numbers are not known. The director of a human rights group, Eric Rosenthal, is quoted as saying that visitors to the Turkish mental health hospitals “saw children who were essentially abandoned, starving, ties down to their beds.” The use of the electroshock without the use of anesthesia, which prevents patients from suffering, is used as punishment against the disabled, as the Turkish doctors explain.

In the last 90 years, millions of people have been “punished” to death in Turkey for not being a Turk, Muslim or a “good” citizen. The idea of a “pure” Turkish nation has led Turkish politicians to change the names of 12,000 geographic names, destroy thousands of Christian monuments and even rename scientific names of animals.

The question that arises is whether the torture and starvation of disabled people in Turkey is done by genocidal intent to make the nation more “pure.” The historic precedent, in any case, shows that the mentally ill have been victims of racist governments, such as the case of the genocide of the disabled by Nazi Germany.

Photo: Gypsy children, victims of medical experiments at Auschwitz.

Interestingly, one of the techniques of Nazi physicians of killing the disabled was also starvation. The Nazi murderers called the ill “useless eaters.” While Hitler ordered the destruction of the “useless eaters” in a careful way, euphemistically instructing that “persons…who are incurable…be accorded a mercy death,” Turkish doctors do not even bother to find medical arguments for their abuses.

Human rights activists have not been permitted to “see the worst wards.” Could there be something worse than ill children being electrified to death? In Turkey, perhaps.

Thanks God, Turkey decided to investigate the abuses. As Amberin Zaman writes on Oct 28 2005 , "[o]n Thursday, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called the actions 'a crime against humanity' and vowed that 'those who are responsible will be punished.' Hope the criminals will be punished, but it seems Turkish torture of orphans has a long history and only international concern brought attention.

Trafficking is one of Armenia's worst problems, and the Armenian government not even does not want to face the problem, but sometimes it supports the organizers of the trafficking and makes money out of ruining lives of Armenian woman, some as young as 13-year old…….

The article below confirms that Nature (or God, whatever you call the force) has its rules and sometimes the rule is to kill criminals…. A criminal is not sufficient enough to describe Anahit's savage crimes against its nation and against humanity…. She was called in a car accident, after she bought off his trial in Armenia. Thank you, God. Thank you…. Anahit, do not rest in peace!!!

A Dubai Pimp Is Dead

[September 19, 2005]

Last week, Anahit Malkhasyan (nicknamed Debr Ano), a Dubai pimp originally from Echmiadzin, was killed in a car accident on the Dubai-Sharja highway. Malkhasyan was driving a rented Honda; there were no passengers in the car. Since Malkhasyan was in possession of the passports and documents of the eleven Armenian prostitutes that worked for her, the women are now beyond official supervision (Why Pimps Don't Get Punished, Part II). The circumstances that led to the accident are not yet clear; it cannot be ruled out that it was organized. Anahit Malkhasyan was an important figure within the Dubai sex trade.

Her body was transported to Armenia on September 17.

"A Shameful Act" to be released in 2006

Nemesis News, 29 October 2005. Minessota.

Turkish professor Taner Akcam will be releasing his new book, "A Shameful ACT: The Armenian Genocide and the Question of Turkish Responsibility," in April of 2006.

To be published by Metropolitan Books, the book will include 448 pages discussing the Armenian Genocide and it's Turkish denial.

Taner Akcam is a Turkish professor who lectures on the Armenian genocide at the University of Minnesota. Once asked whether he had Armenian blood (many Turks deny the Armenian genocide), Prof. Akcam replied, "no, I have human blood."

Prof. Akcam's recent radio interview with the Public Radio of Minnesota (28 October 2005), a joint interview with two other scholars, is available at http://www.publicradio.org/tools/media/pla…/10/28_midmorn2 as of 29 October 2005.

Yezidis are Zooastrian Kurds, who live in Armenia and consider themselves a nation. During the Armenian genocide, 200,000 Yezidis were also killed and deported from Turkey. The article here tells about a poor Yezidi family of Armenia….. Very sad story.

Yezidi Family Condemned to Starvation

Yezidi Family Condemned to Starvation

[September 19, 2005]

On a cold winter's day four years ago, the Khatoyans went to the town cemetery in Stepanavan to bury their fourth child, who had died, as had the previous three, of starvation…

The Yezidis visit the graves of their relatives every week; it is a mandatory part of their tradition. Khato usually does so early on Monday mornings. Of all of his deceased children, only the youngest is buried in Stepanavan. If there is ever a headstone over this grave, it will say "Anoush Khato Khatoyan, born and died in the same year".

The Khatoyan family lives on the outskirts of the city. After long years of begging for shelter in garages and guard posts, Khato settled down with his wife and children in his father's old, rundown trailer. His parents moved to a house left barely standing by the earthquake.

Khato has five children. He has tried to improve the trailer and repair some holes and cracks, but largely in vain. There is a continuous draft, and on rainy days, the room fills with water. But his main problem today is not to repair the trailer, but to save his remaining five children from starvation and disease. For Khato and his wife, every day starts with the problem of earning a piece of bread.

"God keeps us in the summer. There are a lot of useful things in the forest – wild berries, raspberries, wood, acorns, spelt, mushrooms, rose-hips, and so on—all you need, but not many people come all the way here to get it," said Khato. His wife Etheri added, "It's tough to go there, I get very tired. It's especially difficult for a woman to climb those hills and get to the forest, but it is necessary. Our children have never eaten to their hearts' content. Every day our neighbors help us; the children see someone with bread and run in front of them, and they feel sorry and give them a piece of it. Sometimes they call one of the kids and give them some jam, potatoes, and so on, and that's how we scrape by."

Khato's two eldest daughters, thirteen and twelve, are illiterate. They do not go to school, and have never gone regularly, because poverty has had the final say on this issue as well. "I went to a boarding school, and they laughed at me there because I didn't have shoes. I came home crying and told my parents that I would never go back," said 13-year old Milena.

"My children have no shoes. They have no food. If you take them anywhere, they faint because they're starving,” Etheri said. “How can I leave them alone? I'm a mother, after all. Let them be by my side even if they go hungry."

Hunger and poverty have been haunted this family for years. Others, including the government, have turned there backs. Even the government's social policies have not reached this home. Etheri is a Georgian citizen, but she lost her passport when she moved to Armenia. Without passports, the parents can't get birth certificates for their children, who are thus ineligible for welfare benefits.

"I have nobody besides my five children and my husband, nobody. That's why I can't go to Georgia to bring those documents. And they want so much money there; I can't even afford a piece of bread, how can I go there?" Etheri asked.

The family's harsh fate has attracted little attention on the part of city authorities or the many organizations that implement all sorts of international programs here. Two years ago, the Armenian Apostolic Church provided them with food and clothing for a few months. The provincial authorities of Lori requested information about the family but did nothing. One of the five children has a heart defect and poor eyesight, and the youngest has been diagnosed with leukemia.

The Khatoyans have pleaded for help from various officials, starting from the local authorities all the way to the Minister for Labor and Social Affairs. But all their efforts have been in vain. Nothing distinguishes this family except for extreme poverty; little has been done to help.

Despite the fact that during the Karabagh war many Azeris of Armenia left for Azerbaijan, there are still many Azeris living in Armenia (perhaps there are some Armenians in Azerbaijan too), some of them professors, coachs, etc. (for instance, Tofig Agaev is a Professor at Yerevan's Theatre Institute, etc). Below is an interesting article from ArmeniaNow.

Grateful to a Nation: Philosophy and sport outweigh nationality for Azeri coach

By Gayane Mkrtchyan
ArmeniaNow reporter
October 29, 2005 | Issue #41(163), October 28, 2005

The blue eyes of Felix Aliyev become bluer when they are filled with tears.
Felix has a table full of awards to show for his long coaching service
Aliyev, 66, is an Azeri by nationality, but he lives and works in Echmiadzin and is a weightlifting trainer at one of Armenia’s most successful sport schools. Tears roll down his cheeks as he speaks about the years of Armenian-Azeri confrontation.

“I am sorry,” he says in a subdued voice and leaves the room.

Felix’s wife, Julietta Yenokyan, 56, goes on saying: “Children would wait until the training classes finished at the weightlifting school. Then they safely brought Felix home at the end of the day.”

Felix has been working in the village of Geghakert, which is five kilometers away from Echmiadzin, for 34 years. He has 180 sportsmen, age 13-24 in his charge.

Felix comes back to the room and lays magazines, albums, fragments of newspapers, numerous books on the table. His wife adds: “Felix has all the good things.” And she shows diplomas and orders of different years.

“Had my pupils turned their backs on me I would have left. But they supported me strongly,” he says.

Felix reads the records of his private diary. He has mottos to which he has adhered in his life. “A person, despite his nationality, should act for the sake of interests common to all mankind; should be not a nationalist but an internationalist,” he says.

The ancestors of Felix’s father Askar Aliyev immigrated to Armenia from the Iranian province of Khoy. His father lost his parents at the age of seven. Before he came of age he was brought up by Armenians, their neighbors.

“He married my mother Yepraksia Danielyan in 1936. My father played the clarinet perfectly. Everybody knew Maestro Ali in Echmiadzin. He was invited to play to the best wedding parties,” Felix says.

Julietta remembers with a heavy heart how the Armenian-Azeri strife depressed her father-in-law despite the fact that their neighbors and friends said: “Ali jan, be well and don’t worry, not a single hair on your head will be harmed.” And, indeed, nobody bothered him or his family.

Ali died in 1998. Felix says that they feel ashamed instead of their compatriots. The whole family was shocked after the Sumgait events. And when he remembers that an Azeri army officer killed an Armenian army officer at a conference in Budapest two winters ago, his voice becomes subdued.

Felix has relatives in Azerbaijan but he has no contacts with them. Once a relative of his father was taken aback when he learned from one of his acquaintances that they continued to live in Echmiadzin.

“I could not move to Azerbaijan, as my wife and my mother are Armenians. At best we had to move to another country,” he says.

Felix says he is Christian; his favorite church is Surb Gayane. He says that his purity and philanthropy are the Koran and the Bible.

Felix lives adhering to his own principle: “You should be grateful to the nation that educates you and brings you up.”

He has been a fan of weightlifting since his school years. He graduated from the Institute of Physical Training in 1966. Since 1970 he has been working at the school of Geghakert.

The merited coach brought up 33 masters of sport, two of whom are of the international level. World-famed Yuri Sargsyan, merited master of sport, is also Felix’s pupil. Sargsyan held 14 new world records and in 1982-1983 he became the world champion in his sport. Today Yuri Sargsyan is a deputy head of the Weightlifting Federation of Australia. In 1985 the school of Geghakert was named after him.

Among Aliyev’s pupils are also Vigen Khachatryan, 25, who became the third prize-winner at the World Championships in 2001, and in the same year won the silver medal at the Youth European Championships, and Arkadi Barseghyan, 22, who became the Junior European Champion in 2002.

Felix is sure that he will still give champions to the world. Reading Sigmund Freud he finds the answers to many questions worrying him.

“According to Freud, a person’s nationality depends on his self-consciousness. It is necessary to appreciate in him values common to all mankind.”

Yücel AŞKIN is Vardovian's grandson

The rector of the University of Van, Yucel Askin, who is arrested on "corruption charges" has been most likely captured for his Armenian origin. At first, his Armenian origin was allegation but now it is apparent that he is Vardovian's grandson.

As AZG (English version published on 29 Oct 2005 at http://azg.am/?lang=EN&num=2005102902) reports on 28 October, 2005, the rector of Van University is the grandson of Hakob Vardovian, one of the founders of the Turkish theatre who had unwillingly converted to Islam and adopted the name Guli Hakob. Hakob's son, Necip Askin (the change of the last name was due to the Turkish law of converting non-Turkish names), is world-known violin player and had high intelectual posts in Turkey. Dr. Yucel Askin is the son of Necip Askin. Turkish newspaper Hurriyet also has article with the same information in Turkish.

Dr. Askin was perhaps the last Armenian who had remained in west Armenia (modern eastern Turkey). The region was wiped out of its Armenian population during 1915 and 1923, and presence of thousands of years (2200 churches, etc.) was destroyed during the same time and later.
