Le Monde Provides Platform To Former Spokesman Of An Armenian Terrorist Organization MONDAY, 03 JANUARY 2011 05:28 Dear Readers, Friends , and Fair-Minded, Truth-Promoting, Peace-Lovers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As long as there are Armenian falsifiers and Turk-haters around the world, with or without their white robes and matching conical hats, bent on demonizing all things Turkish at all opportunities real or imagined, our work seems to remain incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need to be alert and react instantly to all kinds of attempts to defame and misrepresent our proud heritage. We need to remain in constant vigilance and continue to educate the public about our thousands of year old culture, history, and heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This time, the unprovoked, unjustified, and unfair attack came from France’s Le Monde newspaper. Le Monde editors, incredibly, are providing access to the former speaker of a notorious Armenian terrorist organization, ASALA. The blood of Turkish (and Fench) citizens have not dried on the hands of these Armenian terrorists who loved to grin to the TV cameras with their ugly faces, flashing victory signs after every bombing, assassination, and other such premeditated murder and planned carnage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s more, Le Monde editors seem to lack the decency to at least give the appearance of seeking responsible opposing views in order to balance this terrorist’s sick and hateful message and to present a more objective and fair coverage of a historical controversy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, I ask you to please sign the protest letter below with your name, city, country, and day-phone, and email it to these addresses :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Street address : Le Monde, 80, boulevard Auguste-Blanqui, 75 507 Paris Cedex 13 France<\/p>\n\n\n\n
***************<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Madam\/Sir,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a shocking move, Le Monde allowed, one more time, Ara Toranian to publish an opinion in its pages. The promotion, without any warning, of the views of the former spokesman of a terrorist group (ASALA) is simply unacceptable in a respectable and democratic newspaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
France was, with Turkey, the country of the world where Armenian terrorists, especially ASALA, killed and wounded the greatest number of persons. Mr. Toranian’s newspaper, Hay Baykar, glorified the murder of Turkish diplomats, justified the bombing of the Marmara travel agency (which bomb also killed a French secretary) and slammed the verdict sentencing the perpetrators of Orly attack (8 deaths, 90 wounded, including around 60 seriously).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the U.S.A., ASALA attempted to assassinate a UCLA history professor, Prof. Stanford Jay Shaw, and his family in 1977 by planting a bomb in his HOME !<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ASALA’s inspiration, Gourgen Yanikian, murdered in an ambush the general consul in Los Angeles Mehmet Baydar and his deputy Bahad\u0131r Demir, in 1973. Mr. Toranian’s newspaper presented the terrorist Yanikian as a hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another Armenian terrorist group, JCAG\/ARA assassinated Mehmet Baydar’s successor, Kemal Ar\u0131kan, in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same attacked by bombs the cultural night celebrating the Turkish culture (including dance) in California and New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both ASALA and JCAG\/ARA assaulted even moderate Armenians, like the Dashnak and the Hunchak murderers did in the Ottoman Empire since 1890s and the USA since 1930’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Toranian’s opinion was seen as an insult to the silent memory of the many victims of terrorism, whatever their nationality or ethnicity may be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please accept our expressions of profound disappointment, outrage, and sadness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La derni\u00e8re livraison des c\u00e2bles diplomatiques r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9s par WikiLeaks nous apprend qu’il n’aura m\u00eame pas fallu deux mois \u00e0 Nicolas Sarkozy pour trahir ses engagements envers la communaut\u00e9 arm\u00e9nienne de France \u00e0 propos de la loi incriminant le n\u00e9gationnisme du g\u00e9nocide arm\u00e9nien. Le 24 avril 2007, le candidat de l’UMP promettait d’appuyer la ratification par le S\u00e9nat de ce texte d\u00e9j\u00e0 vot\u00e9 par l’Assembl\u00e9e nationale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or selon un t\u00e9l\u00e9gramme rendu public par WikiLeaks, Jean-David Levitte (conseiller diplomatique de l’Elys\u00e9e), en visite \u00e0 Ankara le 29 mai 2007, a confi\u00e9 \u00e0 ses interlocuteurs que “Sarkozy s’assurera que le projet de loi du g\u00e9nocide arm\u00e9nien (p\u00e9nalisant le n\u00e9gationnisme) meure au S\u00e9nat fran\u00e7ais.” On comprend mieux l’arrogance de ce n\u00e9gationnisme, qui se d\u00e9veloppe notamment sur la Toile fran\u00e7aise \u00e0 travers des sites sponsoris\u00e9s par le gouvernement d’Ankara. Ainsi ce fl\u00e9au, qui fait office de volet politique du g\u00e9nocide, qui constitue sa continuation par d’autres moyens, ne sera non seulement pas combattu par les responsables de l’ordre public, mais il b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiera de la neutralit\u00e9 bienveillante du chef de l’Etat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
INT\u00c9R\u00caTS DU PANTURQUISME<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Que peuvent bien valoir les belles paroles prononc\u00e9es \u00e0 l’endroit de la communaut\u00e9 arm\u00e9nienne de France, mais \u00e9galement toute la rh\u00e9torique de Nicolas Sarkozy sur l’histoire, et les le\u00e7ons qu’il convient d’en tirer ? Etait-il n\u00e9cessaire de gratifier Ankara de ce type de signal, au moment m\u00eame o\u00f9 \u00e0 l’int\u00e9rieur du pays, enfin, un mouvement d’intellectuels turcs se dessine pour demander pardon aux Arm\u00e9niens ? Il ne faudra pas s’\u00e9tonner ensuite qu’\u00e9clair\u00e9es par de tels exemples les autorit\u00e9s turques fassent des sourires \u00e0 l’Occident tout en signant, comme elles l’ont fait, en mai, des accords pour la livraison d’uranium \u00e0 l’Iran. Qu’elles combattent le blocus de Gaza tout en p\u00e9rennisant, depuis seize ans, celui sur l’Arm\u00e9nie. Qu’elles exigent des excuses d’Isra\u00ebl pour les neuf morts turcs de la flottille, en juin, sans jamais avoir prononc\u00e9 un mot de regret pour le million et demi d’Arm\u00e9niens extermin\u00e9s, en 1915, et en outrageant tous les jours leur m\u00e9moire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un malheur n’arrivant jamais seul, cette information de WikiLeaks vient une semaine apr\u00e8s une autre d\u00e9p\u00eache diplomatique rendue publique par le m\u00eame site, selon laquelle M. Roland Galharague, haut fonctionnaire au Quai d’Orsay, explique \u00e0 William Burns, secr\u00e9taire am\u00e9ricain \u00e0 la d\u00e9fense, que l’existence d’une forte communaut\u00e9 arm\u00e9nienne, en France, entraverait les propositions susceptibles d’apporter la paix au Haut-Karabakh, une enclave arm\u00e9nienne ind\u00e9pendantiste en butte \u00e0 l’hostilit\u00e9 et aux menaces de guerre du couple turco-azerba\u00efdjanais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
La question se pose donc de savoir quelles sont ces belles propositions de paix du Quai d’Orsay qui pourraient bien contrarier \u00e0 ce point les Fran\u00e7ais d’origine arm\u00e9nienne. Tout semble h\u00e9las indiquer que la tradition qu’on croyait r\u00e9volue du l\u00e2chage des Arm\u00e9niens au profit des int\u00e9r\u00eats du panturquisme est en train de reprendre ses droits dans la R\u00e9publique. Nous ne ferons pas ici le compte de victimes qu’une telle attitude a d\u00e9j\u00e0 provoqu\u00e9es. Mais comment ne pas s’indigner que ce type de pratique soit toujours en vigueur apr\u00e8s tant de malheurs accumul\u00e9s ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————————————————————————————————————————- Point of view Paris cowardly Armenians Le Monde | 28.12.10 | 2:03 p.m. * Updated 29.12.10 | 1:14 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latest issue of diplomatic cables revealed by Wikileaks us that he will not even take two months to Nicolas Sarkozy to betray its commitments to the Armenian community in France about the law criminalizing denial of Armenian genocide. On April 24, 2007, the UMP candidate promised to support Senate ratification of the text already passed by the National Assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet according to a telegram published by Wikileaks, Jean-David Levitte (the Elysee diplomatic adviser), on a visit in Ankara May 29, 2007, told his interlocutors that “Sarkozy will ensure that the bill of Armenian genocide (criminalizing denial) died in the French Senate. “ We can better understand the arrogance of this denial, which grows particularly through the French web sites sponsored by the Ankara government. So this scourge, which serves as political aspect of the genocide, which is its continuation by other means, will not only not opposed by officials of public order, but it will benefit from the benevolent neutrality of the head of the State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
INTERESTS Turkism<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That may well be worth the beautiful words spoken against the Armenian community of France, but also the rhetoric of Nicolas Sarkozy on the history and the lessons to be learned? Was it necessary to reward Ankara this type of signal, just as inside the country, finally, a movement of Turkish intellectuals in sight to apologize to the Armenians? It will not be surprising then qu’\u00e9clair\u00e9es by such examples of the Turkish authorities do smiles while signing the West, as they did in May, agreements for the supply of uranium to Iran. They fight the blockade of Gaza while protecting the last sixteen years, the one on Armenia. They demand an apology from Israel for the nine dead Turkish fleet in June without ever uttering a word of regret for the million and half Armenians murdered in 1915, and insulting their memory every day .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Misfortunes never come alone, this information Wikileaks comes a week after another diplomatic dispatch published by the same site that Mr. Roland Galharague , a senior official at the Quai d’Orsay , told William Burns , U.S. Secretary defense, that the existence of a strong Armenian community in France, obstruct proposals likely to bring peace in Nagorno-Karabakh, an Armenian enclave independence subjected to hostility and threats of war between Turkey and the couple Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The question therefore arises what are these beautiful peace proposals of the Quai d’Orsay, which might well upset at this point the French of Armenian origin. Unfortunately everything seems to indicate that they believed the tradition of dropping the Armenian past in favor of the interests of Turkism is trying to regain his rights in the Republic. We will not here on behalf of victims that such an attitude has already caused. But how can we not be indignant that such practice is still in effect after so many misfortunes accumulated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
