| Participants and Members of the European Parliament’s EU-Armenia Friendship Group pay respects at Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan
Posted on April 24, 2013 April 24th 2013 – Genocide Memorial Day – Yerevan, Armenia On the occasion of its first official visit to Armenia, members and participants of the newly created EU-Armenia Friendship Group in the European Parliament attended and payed respects at the memorial ceremony of the Armenian Genocide held at the Tsiternakapert Genocide memorial monument in Yerevan. The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust refers to the mass relocation and extermination of Armenians during the Young Turks government of the Ottoman Empire from 1915 to 1917. Still to this day this tragic historical event does not have international recognition, but is commemorated annually around the world on April the 24th. Members of the delegation took part in the laying of the wreath ceremony and also visited the Genocide memorial museum afterwards. In relation to this mornings events, the President of the EU-Armenia Friendship Group leader of the delegation Dr Eleni Theocharous stated: “We will never forget the victims of the Armenian Genocide carried out by the authoritarian Young Turks government in 1915. We will continue fighting for the restoration of the human rights of all people on earth whose rights are being compromised.” Valérie Boyer, a French member of Parliament who joined the EU-Armenia Friendship Group on its first delegation stated: “I am very touched to be in Yerevan for this occasion. It is an absolute necessity to for the Armenian Genocide to gain international recognition. Recognition is a question of dignity and honour, not only to recognise the past but also to reinforce ideals of human rights which are of great importance to world we live in today.” Furthermore, Kaspar Karampetian the President of the European Armenian Federation of Justice and Democracy, a Brussels based political think tank also enforced: “It is a great joy for me to be present with the EU-Armenia Friendship Group in the European Parliament and also with Mrs Valerie Boyer a long lasting supporter of the Armenian cause in France. It is an honour for me to be present in Yerevan on this specific occasion to commemorate the Armenian genocide at its official memorial ceremony.” Armen Andonian euarmeniafriendshipgroup@gmail.com http://theeuarmeniafriendshipgroup.com/2013/04/24/301/ Karekin II and Aram I urge Turkey to recognize Armenian Genocide and return Armenian Churches 12:16 24.04.2013 His Holiness Karekin II, Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, and His Holiness Aram I, Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia, issued a statement today, urging Turkey to return confiscated Armenian Churches and Church Estates. The message runs as follows: “In 2015, the Armenian people of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and the diaspora will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide committed by the Ottoman Empire. In 1915, more than 1.5 million Armenians became victims of genocide. The survivors on the roads of exile found shelter in Eastern Armenia, present-day Republic of Armenia, Syria, Lebanon and other Arabic nations, and in a number of other countries of the world. The Genocide victims and the internally displaced people who lived under the jurisdiction of the Ottoman Empire in Western Armenia, Cilicia, and other regions of the Ottoman Empire, along with their own personal estates, also lost estates and holdings owned by the church – churches , sanctuaries and monasteries; religious, educational and charitable institutional centers; treasures of cultural and religious value – cross-stones (khachkars), illuminated manuscripts, icons and other items of value; and holdings owned by the State of Turkey under the classification of “abandoned estates”. 98 years after the Genocide the present Turkish nation, as the successors of the Ottoman Empire, not only deny that its predecessors plotted and committed the Genocide, but also continues its anti-Armenian policy, still retaining confiscated church estates and properties, and religious and cultural treasures of the Armenian people. Therefore, We call on the Republic of Turkey and demand the following:
Remembering the victims of the Armenian Genocide with prayers, We condemn any violation against God- given life, human dignity and the peaceful coexistence of people “For God is not the God of discord, but of peace ” (Corinthians 14.33), and has called on people for love, solidarity and cooperation. With gratitude We honor all nations and peoples who gave shelter to the Armenians displaced by Genocide, and showed compassion and brotherly love for the dispersed and exiled Armenians. The Armenian nation will also be eternally grateful to all the nations who, guided by the principles of humanity and justice, have condemned and officially recognized the Armenian Genocide. On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide we must put all our efforts into action to realize the demands of the Armenian nation for the sake of justice and defense of the rights of all Armenians.” http://www.armradio.am/en/2013/04/24/karekin-ii-and-aram-i-urge-turkey-to-recognize-armenian-genocide-and-return-armenian-churches/ Armenia's higher officials commemorated Armenian Genocide victims memory 10:50, 24 April, 2013 YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS. The higher officials of the Republic of Armenia visited the Tzitzernakaberd Memorial and paid tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide initiated by the Ottoman Turks in 1915. As reports "Armenpress" His Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All Armenians, presided over the ceremony of the repose of souls for the Armenian Genocide victims. Higher officials bowed their heads and honored the memory of 1,5 million assassinated Armenians with a minute of silence. The President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan paid a visit to the Tzitzernakaberd Hill with his wife Rita Sargsyan. The Chairman of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Tigran Sargsyan, representatives of the legislative and executive branches of power, higher officership of the Armed Forces, political figures, intellectuals, heads of diplomatic representations to Armenia, representatives of national minorities, NGOs, and guests from various parts of the world also paid a visit to the Tzitzernakaberd Hill and commemorated Armenian Genocide victims memory. http://armenpress.am/eng/news/716388/armenias-higher-officials-commemorated-armenian-genocide-victims-memory.html Serzh Sargsyan’s address on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day 09:28, 24 April, 2013 YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: The President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan sent an address on the occasion of the Remembrance Day of the Armenian Genocide. As Armenpress was reported by the Department for Public Relations and Mass Media of the Armenian President’s Staff, Serzh Sargsyan’s message said in particular: “Dear Compatriots, Today, we bow to the memory of innocent victims. The great majority of these victims didn’t even have graves. One of the native and most ancient peoples of the region had been exterminated on its own land or sent into forced exile. One of the native and most ancient peoples of the region as a result of the first Genocide of the 20th century lost its spiritual and cultural assets accumulated through the millennia, which being national – Armenian, as the pieces of art and momentous achievements had also had the universal value. Because of the Genocide, one of the native and most ancient peoples of the region had also lost material assets accumulated through the millennia which had been appropriated by the Turkish state and its peoples. Because of the Genocide, one of the native and most ancient peoples of the region had lost its right and opportunity to live in its homeland. Dear Compatriots, It is our duty to realize and to bring the attention of the international community to the fact that denial of the Genocide constitutes direct continuation of that very crime and that very crime is being carried out in modern Turkey. Some are trying to persuade us “not to re-open the hundred years old wounds but to look forward.” Our response to this counsel is the following: Orhan Pamuk and Hrant Dink were not brought to trial a hundred years ago. They were tried right before our eyes. For the Armenian, as well as for the Turkish society this problem is current and urgent. Dear Compatriots, Each April 24th is the opportunity to renew our pledge to be loyal to the Armenian statehood whose existence precludes and will continue to preclude the repetition of the Armenian Genocide. And we, as a state and as a nation, in every corner of the world have been and will be fighting against all and every manifestation of the most horrendous crime against humanity – genocide, be it xenophobia or extermination, nonchalant silence or denial. We will fight with fervor because our standing as the people who had survived compels us to”. http://armenpress.am/eng/news/716394/serzh-sargsyan%E2%80%99s-address-on-armenian-genocide-remembrance-day.html Armenian community of Syria to organize events devoted to Armenian Genocide 10:10, 24 April, 2013 YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: Various events will be organized in Syria devoted to the 98th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. This was reported to Armenpress by the Press Secretary of the National Primacy of Aleppo Zhirayr Reyisyan. He stated that different events would be held in the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide in the Armenian churches and schools of Syria. “This year it would be very difficult for the Armenian community of Syria to hold protest actions and active events, as the current situation in the country is not stable, but we cannot just forget this day, which is quite important to all of us and do nothing”, - said the Press Secretary of the National Primacy of Aleppo, adding that notwithstanding the current critical situation in Syria, Armenians in any case make some actions, which deserve a high evaluation. Zhirayr Reyisyan stated that the situation in Aleppo during the last two days was quiet. “During the previous two days it was calm in Aleppo, without any collisions. Before that there were several blows, but fortunately, they did not cause human losses”, - said the Press Secretary of the National Primacy of Aleppo. According to him, notwithstanding the calm situation of the last two days, the people are still very frightened and do not feel safe, as in these conditions any surprises could happen at any moment, causing irrevocable losses. On April 24 it is the 98th anniversary of the remembrance of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide. On the international political level it will be clearer, what developments to expect from the capitals of the world before the 100th anniversary in the recognition and condemnation issues of the Armenian Genocide, which occurred in 1915 and to what results the Armenia’s policy might bring. http://armenpress.am/eng/news/716386/armenian-community-of-syria-to-organize-events-devoted-to-armenian-genocide.html Armenian Youth March in Akhaltskha to Commemorate 1915 Genocide 01:05, April 24, 2013 Carrying torches, candles and the Armenian tri-color, hundreds of Armenian youth in Aksaltskha (Georgia) marched to the Armenian Genocide memorial in the center of town yesterday evening. Before the march, the young people had gathered at the Armenian church to pray in memory of the victims of the Genocide. Upon arriving at the memorial, the marchers called on the Georgian government to join the list of foreign countries that have recognized the 1915 Genocide. The candlelight procession has becoem a tradition in Akhaltskha. http://hetq.am/eng/news/25820/armenian-youth-march-in-akhaltskha-to-commemorate-1915-genocide.html Valérie Boyer and EU-Armenia Friendship Group members to visit Artsakh 10:51, 24 April, 2013 YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: Several members of the newly established European Union-Armenia Friendship Group, headed by the Chairman of the Group Eleni Teokharus, will pay tribute in Yerevan to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide. As Armenpress was reported by the Chairman of Hay Dat Committee of Europe Gaspar Karapetyan, the members of the European Union-Armenia Friendship Group will visit the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial and will have meetings with the Armenian authorities and on April 26 they will leave for Artsakh. The EU-Armenia Friendship Group consists of about 40 members, and 5 of them are in Armenia now. By the way, the deputy of the French National Assembly, the member of the EU-Armenia Friendship Group Valérie Boyer as well is a member of the Group, who is the author of the draft bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide in France. The EU-Armenia Friendship Group intends to hold several events in Armenia. The EU-Armenia Friendship Group was established on January 9 2013. The opening ceremony was attended by the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan. It is symbolical that the members of the Group along with the Armenian nation respect the memory of the innocent victims of the Armenian Genocide. The entire series of the documents, proving the fact of the mass massacres of the Armenian people in 1915 in the Ottoman Turkey as a premeditated and thoroughly executed act of genocide, is enormous. The Armenian Genocide was recognized by different organizations, such as the European Council, the European Parliament, some commission of the UN Organization, the World Church Union, etc. The Armenian Genocide was recognized by many states. The first country to officially recognize the Armenian Tragedy was Uruguay in 1965. The massacres of the Armenian people were officially condemned and recognized as a genocide, in accordance with the international law, by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Uruguay, Argentina (2 laws and 5 draft bills), Venezuela, Chile, Canada, Vatican, and Australia.
The Armenian Council of America along with members of the Armenian diplomatic corps, clergy and business community, Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich and the Board of Supervisors proclaimed April 24, 2013 as “Day of Remembrance for the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1923″ in Los Angeles County. “Los Angeles County is home to the largest population of Armenians in the United States, enriching our communities through their leadership in the fields of business, agriculture, academia, medicine, government and the arts,” said Antonovich. “By consistently remembering and openly condemning these atrocities, Los Angeles County demonstrates the need for constant vigilance to prevent similar events in the future,” said Antonovich. ”We join the Armenian community in its commitment to ensure that those who died and suffered are never forgotten.” Antonovich also urged President Barack Obama and members of Congress to raise the issue with the President of Turkey when they meet in the Oval Office in a few weeks. “On this day, we are reminded of the tremendous loss of our people, but it is also an inspiring time to celebrate the closeness and collaboration of the Armenian community which comes together every year to mark this occasion,” said ACA Member Mehran Khatchadorian. “I applaud Supervisor Antonovich and the LA County Board of Supervisors for continuously championing this issue and educating the public about the importance of recognizing and taking a stand against man’s inhumanity to man.” http://www.armradio.am/en/2013/04/24/los-angeles-county-recognizes-day-of-remembrance-for-the-armenian-genocide/ US Ambassador and his wife commemorated Armenian Genocide victims 13:15, 24 April, 2013 YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States of America to the Republic of Armenia John Heffern and his wife visited the Tsitsernakaberd Memorial on April 24.

Tarihimizle barışmak Ermeni cemaatinin sadece malvarlığı değildi yağmalanan, kadın ve çocuklarının bir kısmı da Müslüman Osmanlılar arasında paylaşıldı. Yarın, 1915 yılında İstanbul’da Ermeni cemaatinin milletvekillerinin, yazarlarının, gazetecilerinin, avukatlarının, müzisyenlerinin, doktorlarının, bilim insanlarının önemli bir kısmının tutuklanıp Ayaş ve Çankırı’ya sürgüne gönderilmeye başladıkları 24 Nisan’ın 98. yıldönümü. Sürgüne yollananların arasında isim benzerliği nedeniyle tutuklanan küçük zanaatkârlar veya işi gücü olmayan yoksul Ermeniler de vardı. Sürgünlerin büyük bölümü ya sürgünde öldü ya çıkan tehcir kararı sonrasında yolda katledildi. Küçük bir kısmının İstanbul’a dönmelerine izin verildi. Birkaçı da tehcir yolunun katliamlarından, hastalıklarından, açlığından sağ kurtulmayı başardı. 24 Nisan 1915, bir ay sonra son derece kapsamlı, planlı biçimde başlatılacak olan Osmanlı İmparatorluğu toprakları üzerinde Ermeni varlığını önemsiz kılmak ve nihayetinde büyük ölçüde yok etmek politikasının işaret fişeğiydi. Bu sadece bir nüfus politikası değildi. Ermenilerin malvarlıklarına devletin ve Müslüman Osmanlıların el koyması da bu politikanın bir parçasıydı. Anadolu’nun çeşitli şehirlerinde birçok ailede 1920’lerde gözlenen ani zenginleşmenin nedeni hızlı iktisadi büyüme değildi. Ermeni cemaatinin sadece malvarlığı değildi yağmalanan, kadın ve çocuklarının bir kısmı da Müslüman Osmanlılar arasında paylaşıldı. Müslümanlaştırıldılar. Tehcirden kurtulmak için Müslümanlığı seçen Ermeniler de vardı. Sonuçta öldürülerek, Suriye çölüne sürülerek, Müslümanlaştırarak, kalan malvarlığını müsadere ederek, Cumhuriyet’ten sonra korkutma, yıldırma ve kaçırtma politikasına aralıksız devam ederek, Anadolu coğrafyasında Ermeni topluluğu yok edildi. Bu topluluğun bu topraklardaki binlerce yıllık varlığının izlerini silmek için planlı programlı bir devlet politikası son yıllara kadar aralıksız yürütüldü. 1915 tehciri sadece Ermenilerin değil, Güneydoğu Anadolu’da Süryanilerin de büyük bir kırıma uğramasının tarihidir. Rumlara karşı Ege Bölgesi’nde 1914 öncesinde başlatılmış olan fiili tehcir politikası, çeşitli katliamlarla devam etti. Çeteci Rumlarla mücadele bahanesiyle, Karadeniz Bölgesi neredeyse bütünüyle Rum ahalisinden 1923 öncesinde temizlenmişti. İttihat ve Terakki yönetimi insanlığa karşı son derece ağır bir suç işlemişti ve soykırım tabiri o dönemde kullanılıyor olsaydı yapılanlar o tarihte soykırım olarak adlandırılmış olacaktı. Sadece İttihat ve Terakki yöneticileri değildi suçlu olan. Türk, Kürt, Çerkes... Müslüman Osmanlıların büyük bir bölümü, İttihat ve Terakki hükümetinin Anadolu’yu Hıristiyansızlaştırma politikasını destekledi. Katliamlara katılmasa da, müsadereden pay almasa da, yapılanları izleyerek, sessiz kalarak destekleyenler çoğunluktaydı. Taner Akçam’ın yerinde ifadesiyle, yeni Türkiye’nin varlığı bu yoklukla dağlandı. Bunun toplumsal bilinçte son derece vahim travmatik etkileri oldu ve bunun tezahürleri günümüzde devam ediyor. Müslüman Osmanlılar arasında insanlığa karşı işlenmiş bu büyük suçu onaylamayanlar, desteklemeyenler ve bunun mücadelesini verenler de vardı. İHD yarın 24 Nisan anma etkinliğini bu insanlardan birinin, Kütahya Mutasarrıfı Faik Ali Bey’in (Ozansoy) Zincirlikuyu’daki mezarı başında toplanarak başlatacak. Daha sonra Ermeni topluluklarının Anadolu’da yaşadıkları 2300 köy ve kasabanın isminin yer aldığı bir pano Sultanahmet’te sergilenecek. Akşam ise Irkçılığa Karşı Dur De girişiminin Taksim Meydanı’nda düzenlediği anma törenine Avrupa’da ırkçılıkla mücadele girişimleri temsilcilerinden oluşan bir grup da katılacak. Barış sadece Kürt sorunu konusunda gündemimizde değil. Tarihimizin onurlu sayfaları kadar, bu yüz kızartıcı sayfalarıyla da yüzleşmek, hatırlamak ve her şeyden önce ortak belleğimizle, vicdanımızla barışmak da bu barışın bir parçasıdır.
Taraf gazetesi yazarı Cengiz Aktar, bugünkü köşesinde ‘24 Nisan nedir?’ başlıklı bir yazısında yarın düzenlenecek anmalara katılım çağrısında bulundu. 23 Nisan 2013 Salı 12:59 Pek haberdar olduğumuz ya da olmak istediğimiz söylenemez, öyleyse hatırlayalım. İttihatçıların yönetimindeki Osmanlı devletinin, kendi Ermeni vatandaşının kökünü Anadolu’nun her köşesinden kazıyan kararının uygulamaya başlandığı kara gündür. Yarın da 98. yıldönümüdür. Kararın bedelleri üzerine teferruatlı bilgi ve çalışma pek yok. Örneğin gündemin bir numaralı maddesi olan Kürt meselesinde Kürt ayaklanmalarıyla Ermenilerin o bölgeden silinmeleri arasındaki ilişki nedir üzerine doyurucu bir çalışma yok. Keza Ermeniler yok edildikten sonra Anadolu’nun beşerî, siyasî ve iktisadî rabıtası ne hâle gelmiş, malûmat yok. Böylesine kapsamlı bir yok etme operasyonun etkisi illâki muazzamdır. Bildiğimiz, can ve mal kayıplarından ibaret. Hatırlayalım: Kasım 1918’de İttihatçıların yerini alan yeni Osmanlı hükümetinin Mayıs 1919’da açıklanan komisyon raporuna göre, hayatını kaybeden Ermeni vatandaşların sayısı 800.000. 1928’de Genelkurmay Başkanlığı’nın Cihan Harbi’ndeki kayıplar üzerine yayımladığı kitapta “800.000 Ermeni ve 200.000 Rum katl ve tehcir yüzünden veya amele taburlarında ölmüştür” deniyor. Bu ölümlere 1918 sonrası açlık, hastalık ve katliam sonucu Kafkasya’da hayatlarını kaybedenler dâhil edildiğinde kayıplar bir milyonu aşıyor. Taner Akçam’ın 21 Nisan tarihli Zaman’da verdiği rakamlar böyle. Osmanlının tamamlayamadığı “temizlik” işini ise Kemalist Türkiye tamamlıyor. Anadolu’daki “kılıç artıklarını” İstanbul’a sığınmaya mecbur ederek ve başta kiliselerle okullar olmak üzere maddî izleri silerek. Bu toplu facia memlekette kabul görmekten uzak. Anadolu Ermeniliğinin tamamen silinmiş olması dahi idrak etmeye kâfi değil. Resmî Türkiye ve resmî tezin sivil savunucuları yıllardır canını dişine takmış soykırım olmadığını ispat etmeye çabalıyor. Bin bir dereden su getiriliyor, beyhude karşılaştırılmalar yapılıyor ve millet her yıl 24 Nisan günü nefesini tutmuş ABD’nin başkanı ne diyecek diye kulak kesiliyor. 2015’e iki kala inkârcı faaliyette gözle görülür artış var. İlkin, ağırlıklı olarak Batı ülkelerindeki akademik dünyayı hedefleyen bilimsel görünümlü inkârcılık giderek görünür hâl aldı. ABD’de birkaç yıldır artarak süren “karşı tez” savaşları Avrupa’ya da sıçradı. Daha geçenlerde London School of Economics’te ikisi “Türk dostu” dört Avrupalı akademisyen ipe sapa gelmez teorilerini, dinlemeye gelmiş Türklere İngilizce olarak anlattılar. İnkârcılık eskiye oranla artık yabancıların da dâhil edildiği bir faaliyet. Aynı bilimsellik iddiası yurtiçinde de mevcut. Eskilerin kaba inkârcılığının yerine yeni belge ve bulgulara dayanan tek taraflı okumalar var. Tabii bu okumaları yapan araştırmacılar üzerine yedi kilit vurulmuş ATASE askerî arşivi ve Dışişleri Bakanlığı arşivi gibi birinci el kaynakların açılmasını talep etmiyor. İkincisi, Azerbaycan destekli nüfuz çalışmaları. Özellikle ABD’de yürütülen faaliyetler ülkedeki lobicilik sistemini sonuna kadar kullanarak soykırım konusunda yönetimi etkilemeyi hedefliyor. Azerbaycan soykırım inkârı çalışmalarının neredeyse sahibi konumuna geliyor. Ermenistan politikasında ise, bu ülkenin ağırlığını Protokollerin akıbetiyle görmüştük. Karabağ’a karşı sınırın ilelebet kapalı kalması için sarf ettiği çaba çerçevesinde Van-Erivan uçak seferinin uçuş izninin iptalinde oynadığı bariz rolle bir merhale daha kat edildi. Türkiye Dışişleri’nin bütün şaşaasına rağmen ve Türkiye’nin kendi politikasızlığının doğrudan sonucu olarak Ermenistan politikası her defasında biraz daha Azerbaycan’ın eline geçiyor.
Bu faaliyetler tesadüf değil. Ama umulanın aksine, resmî tezlerin aczini her defasında ve her yerde giderek daha patetik bir şekilde gözler önüne seriyor. Umut, inkârı reddeden ve soykırımın hafızadan silinmemesi için uğraş veren toplum katmanlarında. Buna Anadolu’nun eski Ermeni yerleşimlerindeki sözlü hafıza da dâhil. Bu yıl Adana, Ankara, Batman, Bodrum, Dersim, Diyarbekir, İstanbul ve İzmir’de anma olacak. İstanbul’daki anma etkinlikleri 12:30’da Sultanahmet’te, 1915’te Merkez Cezaevi olarak kullanılan, ölüme gönderilecek Ermeni aydınların bir süre tutulduğu, şimdiki Türk-İslâm Eserleri Müzesi önünde ve 18:30’da Taksim’de. Vicdan ve adalete çağrı... cengizaktar@gmail.com http://www.agos.com.tr/cengiz-aktar-yazdi-24-nisan-nedir-4961.html Yüklə 0,82 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
