GUADALAJARA.? El escritor turco Orhan Pamuk, premio Nobel de Literatura en 2006, llegó a esta ciudad mexicana para participar de la 23a. Feria Internacional del Libro, que reúne hasta el domingo próximo a unos 500 escritores y 1900 editoriales de 40 países.
Al inaugurar el Salón Literario, Pamuk presentó su última novela, El museo de la inocencia, y recordó la influencia que recibió del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges. Destacó, además, el valioso aporte de los autores del llamado boom latinoamericano, que fueron para él "una liberación", en momentos en que comenzaba a escribir y rehusaba seguir a costumbristas europeos, como Honoré de Balzac y Charles Dickens.
Confesó que primero leyó al novelista colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, al mexicano Carlos Fuentes, al peruano Mario Vargas Llosa y al argentino Julio Cortázar "porque eran socialistas". Pero fue Borges, dijo, quien influyó profundamente.
"Cuando yo leí a Borges, que es esencialmente ensayista, intelectual y un gran cuentista, pensé en liberarme de escribir como Balzac o Dickens", expresó el autor europeo. Así, admitió, pudo ver los problemas de Turquía de "manera experimental y modernista".
El escritor contó que El museo de la inocencia le demandó diez años de trabajo y lo calificó como uno de sus libros "más íntimos y personales". Se trata de una historia de amor que transcurre en las décadas del 70 y el 80, y narra la historia de Kemal, heredero de una de las familias más ricas de Estambul, y su amor por Fusun, una pariente lejana de clase social inferior.
Autor de Estambul y Nieve, el escritor europeo fue procesado en 2005 por unas declaraciones sobre el genocidio de armenios en Turquía. La causa se reabrirá en enero.
Rodeado de guardias
Pamuk afirmó que su franqueza al hablar de política le trajo más problemas ahora, que es una figura conocida, dado que debe vivir rodeado de guardias para preservar su seguridad.
"En Turquía tengo guardias que me proporciona el gobierno. Mi oficina y mi casa están resguardadas por la policía", reveló, ante un nutrido auditorio en la feria. Y agregó: "No es una vida placentera, pero puedo visitar a mis amigos".
El autor habló en Guadalajara de la melancolía de Estambul, donde la arquitectura aún refleja que hubo un "gran imperio y se perdió", como le pasó a Japón o a México, ejemplificó. Y señaló que su nueva novela "tiene parte de esa melancolía"
"Todo escritor debe creer en los libros y considerarlos inmortales", dijo el novelista turco, en momentos en que se expande en el mundo el formato digital de libros.
Junto con Vargas Llosa y Fuentes, el escritor Pamuk es una de las estrellas de la feria, que espera recibir unas 600.000 personas. El narrador mexicano presentó su novela, Adán en Edén, a la que definió como una "comedia con horror".

Armenian Government Rejects ARF Bill Criminalizing Genocide Denial

By Asbarez Staff on Nov 16th, 2009 and filed under Armenia, Featured Story, International, News, Top Stories, Turkey, Turkey-Armenia Protocols.
Legislation Aimed at Curbing Consequences of Turkey’s Historical Commission
YEREVAN (RFE/RL)–A key committee of the National Assembly effectively rejected on Friday a proposal by the opposition Armenian Revolutionary Federation to criminalize public statements denying that the Armenian Genocide.
Armenia’s Criminal Code already carries heavy fines and up to four years’ imprisonment for public denial of genocides and “other crimes against humanity.” An amendment tabled by the ARF last month would extend the maximum punishment to five years and apply it to anyone “denying, playing down, approving or justifying the genocide of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey and Western Armenia.”
The bill is directly connected with the recent agreements to normalize Armenia’s relations with Turkey that have been strongly condemned by the party. They ARF says it is specifically directed against a Turkish-Armenian “subcommission” of historians envisaged by one of the agreements.
The commission would be tasked with studying the extermination of the Ottoman Empire’s indigenous Armenian population. The ARF and other critics of the deal say the very existence of such a body would call into question the fact of the genocide, a claim denied by Armenia’s authorities.
In a written opinion submitted to the Armenian parliament committee on legal affairs this week, the Ministry of Justice objected to the ARF bill and essentially upheld the existing Criminal Code clause relating to genocide denial. The committee on Friday postponed the bill’s consideration by at least two months, meaning that the proposed amendment will not reach the parliament floor before February. The committee chairman, David Harutiunian, made no secret of his strong opposition to the measure, saying that it would create “extremely serious problems” in the ongoing Turkish-Armenian negotiations. He said its passage would lead the Turkish authorities to resume heavy enforcement of a controversial law that makes it a crime to “insult the Turkish nation.” The law, superficially amended last year, has been used in the prosecution of prominent Turks who have questioned the official Turkish version of the events of 1915.
Harutiunian also argued that amendment drafted by the ARF was unnecessary because “Armenia’s position on this issue is so strong that we don’t need any additional tools of defense in the shape of criminal liability,” the former justice minister said at a committee meeting. “The stronger party doesn’t need such tools.”“I don’t see that confidence about our strength,” Vahan Hovannisian, the leader of the ARF faction in the parliament, countered, referring to President Serzh Sarkisian’s conciliatory policy towards Turkey. He said the October 10 signing of the Turkish-Armenian protocols in Zurich was “a sign of weakness” on the part of Yerevan.

Editorial: ‘Historic’ Indeed: Cemal Pasha’s Grandson in Watertown

http://www.armenianweekly.com/2009/11/18/editorial-historic-indeed-cemal-pashas-grandson-in-watertown/
Imagine a world where Germany emerged relatively unscathed from World War II, formed alliances with other Western countries, was successful in escaping responsibility for the horrors of the Holocaust, and for more than 60 years continued to deny the destruction of Europe’s Jews. Imagine that a lecture is organized for the Jewish community in a town in Massachusetts, where the grandson of one of the top leaders of the Nazis is to speak.
The event is advertised as a “historic meeting.” The grandson of the top Nazi leader talks about the kinds of food Germans and Jews shared, says that “the Germans endured suffering too on both the eastern and western fronts,” and repeats the expression “let us respect each other’s pain” a dozen times.
He says, “We should not become captives of our history, not become prisoner of our pains and sufferings…a peaceful tomorrow cannot be established by remaining captive to the past.”
Some members of the audience are moved; they applaud enthusiastically. A historic meeting indeed!
***
Returning to our world, the Armenian community of Watertown, Mass., shared a comparable experience on Nov. 17, when prominent Turkish journalist Hasan Cemal—who happens to be the grandson of Cemal Pasha, one of the leaders of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) that planned and implemented the Armenian Genocide of 1915—spoke to them.
The panel discussion, organized by Friends of Hrant Dink and featuring Cemal, was advertised as a “historic meeting” with the Armenian community. And historic it was, for all the wrong reasons: the historic power asymmetries between Turks and Armenians, and the historic practice of relativizing the suffering, destruction, and dispossession of the Armenian nation were all at play as Cemal delivered his speech.
Cemal spoke of Armenians and Turks eating dolma, repeated slain journalist Hrank Dink’s words “first let us respect each other’s pain” a dozen times, and said: “The Turks have endured suffering, too. There was the pain of expulsion from the Balkans, the Caucasus, and the pain they endured in Anatolia during the wars. The Kurds suffered, too. They suffered the pain of being denied their language and their very identity. I know very well that pain such as this cannot be measured or compared or equated. That would be wrong. One people’s suffering cannot be compared with another’s.”
In no way did he imply, of course, that the pain and suffering of the Armenians might—just might—have been a bit more than that of the Turks. Or that the pain of being exterminated in one’s own homeland is different from the disintegration of an empire. Or that Armenians had nothing to do with Turkish suffering in the Balkans.
Cemal also repeatedly advised Armenians to be patient (read: It has only been 94 years, folks. Be patient!). It would take time to educate the Turks and change things, he said. The prominent Turkish journalist also mentioned that he has been reading Taner Akcam’s writing since the early 1990’s. Minutes later, however, he noted that he does not know much about 1915.
Cemal did try—and failed—to show genuine empathy, because his discourse was very similar to the one used for Turkish audiences. Moreover, he advised Armenians to be careful when talking about 1915 to Turks because tactlessness would rub the Turks the wrong way and all efforts to educate them would be made in vain. After all, we should be very sensitive about the feelings of Turks (but we can say all we want to Armenians)!
Cemal, by repeating the “let us understand each other’s pain” mantra, demonstrated that he never even considered what the Armenians would feel upon hearing such a statement, and seemed to have no clue that Hrant Dink himself—whose name and friendship he constantly evoked—was trying to be “tactful” with Turks by saying such a thing, but would not use the same discourse when he talked to Armenians.
We do not want to question the good intentions of Hasan Cemal. However, during the lecture we were reminded time and time again that the road to hell, too, is paved with good intentions.

Sassounian: Turkish Officials Admit to Playing Games with Protocols

https://bl2prd0102.outlook.com/owa/redir.aspx?C=b4f58563935e4ebf8000b1849c46a468&URL=http%3a%2f%2fwww.armenianweekly.com%2f2009%2f11%2f17%2fsassounian-turkish-officials-admit-to-playing-games-with-protocols%2f
With each passing day, the games Turkish officials have been playing with the protocols are becoming more obvious and ridiculous.
Throughout the long months of negotiations, I repeatedly warned that Turkish officials were not sincere in their announced intention of opening the border with Armenia and establishing diplomatic relations. By acting as if they were seeking reconciliation with Armenia, Turkish leaders simply wanted to prevent further acknowledgment of the Armenian Genocide by third countries, extract maximum concessions from Armenia on Artsakh (Karabagh), and block future territorial demands from Turkey.
Turkey first dragged out the negotiations until right before April 24 to preclude President Obama from keeping his promise on recognizing the Armenian Genocide. The protocols were finally signed on Oct. 10, to ensure that Armenian President Sarkisian went to Turkey to attend the soccer match between the national teams of the two countries.
Meanwhile, Turkey’s leaders repeatedly announced that they would not open the border and their parliament would not ratify the protocols until Armenia returned Artsakh to Azerbaijan—even though there was no such requirement in the signed documents. More than a month has now passed since the signing of the protocols in Zurich, but there are no signs that the Turkish Parliament will ratify them anytime soon.
Just before signing the protocols, Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu traveled to Azerbaijan to pledge once again that they had no intention of opening the border with Armenia until Artsakh was returned to Azerbaijan.
As if these outrageous preconditions were not sufficient to shake Armenians’ confidence in the protocols, Turkish officials made no attempt to hide their deceptive designs.
The Oct. 5 issue of the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet quoted Foreign Ministry officials in Ankara as stating: “The formation of a joint history commission and re-opening the border are included in the documents. However, they can be put into effect only after a solution is found to the Karabagh issue. Without a solution to the Karabagh conflict, these protocols cannot be transferred to parliament. Even then, parliament would not adopt it. So, relax.”
To convince the Azerbaijanis that Turkey had no plans to ratify the protocols, Turkish Foreign Ministry officials boasted about their success in deceiving Europeans on another agreement: “Turkey had to sign a protocol with the European Union on the Cyprus issue. What happened? Did Turkey open its seaports and airports to Cypriot vessels and airplanes, after four years?”
We now have solid evidence that these Turkish officials were not making an idle boast when they indicated that signing an agreement means nothing to them. In the Oct. 25 issue of Today’s Zaman, commentator Ercan Yavuz cited dozens of examples of agreements signed—but not ratified—by Turkey after the passage of many years! At present, there are 146 agreements with 95 countries, including Argentina, Azerbaijan, Libya, Slovenia, Sweden, and Syria, awaiting the approval of the parliament’s Foreign Affairs Commission. The oldest—an agreement signed 26 years ago between Iraq and Turkey—is still pending ratification by the Turkish Parliament. Many other important agreements have been signed since 2004, but still not ratified!
Given the Turkish record of not taking seriously commitments made on behalf of their country, it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the Turkish Parliament will not ratify the Armenia-Turkey protocols anytime soon. Of course, by not ratifying the protocols, Turkey would be breaking its written pledge of Aug. 31 to ratify the Protocols in a “timely” manner.
Interestingly, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, in a recent interview with Reuters, asked: “Why sign the protocols if they are not going to be ratified?” The answer is obvious: The Turkish government is interested in creating a positive image for itself in front of the international community by appearing to want “good neighborly relations” with Armenia, without actually taking any concrete steps to do so.
Armenia’s officials are sadly mistaken if they believe that Turkey will come under intense international pressure should it not ratify the protocols. Time and again, Turkey has proven its immunity from pressures applied by other countries, including the United States, as was the case on the eve of the Iraq war when Turkey refused to allow U.S. troops to cross its borders to enter Iraq.
If pressured from the outside, Turkish leaders will simply blame Armenia, by pointing out that it has not made any concessions on Artsakh, thereby making it impossible for the Turkish Parliament to ratify the protocols.
Armenian officials have repeatedly stated that the Artsakh negotiations are unrelated to the protocols and that the Armenian Parliament would not ratify the protocols before Turkey, adding that they would scrap the agreement if Turkey failed to act in a “timely” manner.
It remains to be seen whether Armenia will keep its pledge of not making any territorial concessions on Artsakh; and should Turkey refuse to ratify the protocols after the lapse of several months, will Armenia’s leaders have the courage to declare the signed protocols null and void?

Coalition Partner Threatens To Quit Yerevan Council

http://www.asbarez.com/2009/11/19/coalition-partner-threatens-to-quit-yerevan-council/
YEREVAN (RFE/RL)–A junior partner in Armenia’s governing coalition reaffirmed on Thursday its threats to walk out of Yerevan’s municipal council if its pro-presidential majority and Mayor Gagik Beglarian continue to run the city “single-handedly.”
The Prosperous Armenia Party, the country’s second pro-establishment force, issued such a warning after President Serzh Sarkisian’s Republican Party pushed through a controversial legal amendment through the council over its objections on Wednesday. The amendment lowered from 33 to 17 the minimum number of councilors allowing the assembly to make a quorum.
Arman Vartanian, the leader of the Prosperous Armenia faction in the 65-member Council of Elders, described that as the latest example of the Republican Party ignoring the opinion of its coalition partner in municipal affairs. He said the party led by businessman Gagik Tsarukian will give up its 17 council seats if the Republicans carry on with their “crude political approach.”
“We have certainly talked to Mr. Tsarukian about these issues,” Vartanian told RFE/RL. “Mr. Tsarukian’s position is that we should work as effectively as possible, try to reach common denominators with our partners but if they don’t attempt to understand that adequately, then we will make a decision.
“That is, we will ask the party to discuss the issue of our working or not working [in the council.] None of us is clinging to their mandates and posts.”
The leader of the 35-strong Republican faction in the Yerevan legislature insisted earlier on Thursday that Tsarukian’s party has no “well-founded grounds” to quit the council. “At least our faction has given them no reason to do that. Nor has the mayor,” Derenik Dumanian told a news conference.
“Prosperous Armenia is our coalition partner, and I think that we will remain coalition partners until the next parliamentary elections,” said Dumanian.
The council’s credibility and legitimacy was already damaged by the opposition Armenian National Congress’s decision to spurn the remaining 13 mandates allotted to it as a result of the May 31 elections. The opposition bloc rejected the official vote results as fraudulent.

Turkish Author Reveals Armenian, Kurdish Massacres in Modern Turkey

Hola:
Desde la publicacion original, varios
articulos de mucho interés.

http://www.asbarez.com/2009/11/19/turkish-author-reveals-armenian-kurdish-massacres-in-modern-turkey/

ANKARA (Hurriyet)—In the late 1930s, the nascent Turkish Republic massacred a village of Kurds and Armenian Genocide Survivors under the guise of an operation against a fabricated Kurdish rebellion, previously unseen photographs, historically important documents and eye-witness accounts reveal.
Hasan Saltuk the author of a new 600-page book said his research seeks to unravel the taboo of the Dersim Massacres.
Set to be released in May in both English and Turkish, the book will challenge the official history of the incident, using primary sources to reveal the government’s role in the brutal massacre of this Kurdish village in the formative years of the modern Turkish Republic.
“Over 13,000 people were killed by Turkish armed forces during the operation and 22,000 were exiled. Orphaned children were subjected to Turkification policies in orphanages,” Saltuk said.
The official historical sources say the 1938 operation in Dersim, now called Tunceli, was implemented to quash a Kurdish tribal rebellion. Saltuk’s research, however, reveals otherwise.
“We see in the documents that the Dersim operation was planned; the reports were prepared in 1920. The law related to the operation was passed in 1935 and action was taken in 1937. Seyit Rıza and his friends were hanged on grounds that they were leading a rebellion,” Saltuk said.
Although the government at the time labeled it a Kurdish tribal insurrection, Saltuk said the fundamental reason behind the operation was that the region was home to Tunceli Alevis who were merely Armenian Genocide survivors that had changed their identities.
“The official sources say Dersim residents were not paying taxes or performing military service and that they were always rebelling. However, we have documents proving the opposite. Ataturk led the Dersim operation himself,” he said.
“Historians here cannot go beyond the official ideology; they do not do any research. Those who do research and know the truth cannot raise a voice because they are afraid,” Saltuk said.
The book reprints the comments he found on the back of all the photographs he obtained. In many cases, the comments expressed remorse for the events in Dersim. “[Many] felt qualms of conscience for what was experienced. Some expressed their feelings with the words, ‘I have become a murderer.’ Others wrote, ‘I caused the deaths of 250 people,’” Saltuk said.
The project involved following the trails of surviving soldiers who participated in the operation, Saltuk said, adding that he saw many who were unable to adapt to social life. “Many soldiers we [interviewed] demanded their names be made public after their deaths. A few people did not mind having their names in the book; some said, ‘They ordered us to kill and we did,’” he said.
He obtained hundreds of original photos and maps alongside two dossiers of population records from the grandchild – whose name Saltuk withheld – of a high level civil servant from that era. “The invaluable documents and photographs in the dossiers reveal the operation in all its detail. However, it is without doubt that much more striking files are in the archives of the Turkish General Staff.”
Saltuk, who is the owner of the Kalan record label, a researcher and an ethnomusicologist, has spent nine years collecting previously unseen photographs, historically important documents and comments from soldiers who participated in the operation..
A member of one of the oldest families of Dersim, Saltuk said that even though he was from a Turkmen tribe on his father’s side, dozens of their relatives were murdered during the operation.
“My grandmother was pregnant with my mother but she saved herself from the firing squad at the last minute,” Saltuk said in an interview with the Turkish Hurriyet Daily News & Economic Review. “Dersim residents are still afraid to talk. The elderly still think somebody’s going to come and kill them.”
Saltuk said he believes that Turkey has entered an age of great change. “All the taboos of this country will be broken and, in the future, there will not be anything that cannot be spoken about.”

INFORMACIÓN DE PRENSA
SE SOLICITA SU DIFUSIÓN
EL VELERO "ARMENIA" LLEGA A BUENOS AIRES
EN EL MES DE DICIEMBRE PRÓXIMO
El Velero Armenia zarpó del puerto de Valencia (España) el 28 de mayo pasado, día del aniversario de la independencia de la Primera República de Armenia en 1918, siguien-do un derrotero que lo llevará a dar la vuelta al mundo por los caminos de la Diáspora.
Los países por los que pasa el Velero Armenia en su "vuelta al mundo armenio" tienen un significado profundo porque son lugares donde viven importantes comunidades armenias. De Valencia, pasando por el estrecho de Gibraltar, el "Armenia" atravesó el Atlántico-Norte, cruzó el Canal de Panamá hacia Los Angeles (Estados Unidos), donde fue recibido por los armenios de California. El Armenia volvió a navegar el canal hacia los mares de Sudamérica, pasando por Venezuela y Brasil, para dirigirse posteriormente a Uruguay y la Argentina., Cabo de Hornos, Chile y seguir su camino hacia Oceanía, Asia y Europa.
La tripulación esta compuesta por seis miembros: Musheg Barsegyan, Vahagn Matevosyan, Hayk Badalyan, Samvel Sargsyan, Armén Nazaryan y Samvel Karapetyan (capitán). Zori Balayan, distinguido periodista, escritor e intelectual, viaja como jefe de la expedición.
La expedición del Armenia se llama Mesrop Mashtots y está dedicada a las madres armenias, que han conservado en el extranjero su lengua natal. El equipo del barco debe pasar por los caminos de nuestros antepasados, reviviendo todo aquello que transcurrieron en su peligrosa y mil veces difícil recorrida por el mundo. La expedición ha previsto detenerse en todos los lugares donde se radicaron los armenios.
El Armenia tiene previsto estar en Río de Janeiro el 25 de noviembre, en Santos el 29 de noviembre, en Montevideo el 7 de diciembre y arribar a Buenos Aires para alrededor de los días 9 ó 10 de diciembre. La Embajada de la República de Armenia ha solicitado al Yacht Club Argentino una amarra de cortesía en su sede de Dársena Norte, a lo que la Comisión Directiva ha accedido generosamente.
La Embajada ha promovido la formación de una comisión organizadora integrada por los señores Garo Arslanian, Eduardo Caramian, Arturo Karagozlú, Kirkor Simsiroglú y Gregorio Tchinnosian. En la víspera se realizó una reunión con el objeto de ultimar los detalles técnicos relacionados con la llegada y estada en Buenos Aires de la nave y los integrantes de la expedición.
La Embajada está en permanente contacto con la tripulación del velero. Una vez que se tengan datos más precisos se convocará a las instituciones con el objeto de asegurar la máxima participación de toda la comunidad.
