Picture of the hacker.


/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Mitq analytical center has detected the Azeri hacker who cracked Armenian websites. It’s Baku resident Bahean Akhundov (deutsche1988, phone (050) 722 23 33, (012) 418 540, ICQ: 401147536).

“There is no doubt that hackers are sponsored by Azeri governmental organizations, which get rid of undesirable media websites both in Azerbaijan and Armenia,” says Mitq’s statement obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

Mitq calls on international organizations to stop Azeri attacks on Armenian portals.

Meanwhile, fearing of consequences of the illegal actions by his employees, Azeri IT Minister Ali Abbasov disowned any connection with the hackers. “Azerbaijan abides by the International Convention to Enhance Security from Cyber Crimes,” he said.

Good riddance! The title is a little misleading though as the article suggests it's not only Evangelism but anything other than Apostolic including those Jehovas.

Armenia law could ban evangelism
Tuesday, 10th February 2009. 4:49pm

By: Paolo Gallini.

If two draft Laws which began passage through Armenia's Parliament on 5 February are adopted, spreading one's faith would be banned, Forum 18 News Service has learnt.

Those who organise campaigns to spread their faith would face up to two years' imprisonment, while those who engage in spreading their faith would face up to one year's imprisonment or a fine of more than eight years' minimum wages. Gaining legal status would require 1,000 adult members, while Christian communities which do not accept the doctrine of the Trinity would be barred from registering.

"These proposed Laws contain violations of all human rights." Russian Orthodox priest Fr David Abrahamyan told Forum 18.

Religious affairs official Vardan Astsatryan told Forum 18 the government backs the draft Laws "in general".

He declined to explain why the government has not involved the OSCE in preparation of the draft Laws.

Azeri President met with angry Armenian protesters in Greece

19.02.2009 17:34 GMT+04:00

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and his delegation were met with angry Armenian protesters when they arrived at the Greek Chamber of Commerce for a meeting of Azeri and Greek business leaders, in the presence of Greek President Carlos Papoulias and Prime Minister Karamanlis.

The Armenian community of Greece heeded the call from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation Youth Organization and, in droves, gathered at the venue an hour before the scheduled meeting by the Azeri president.

With Armenian tri-colors and the Karabakh flags waving, a large banner that read “Aliyev, Stop the Aggression. Nagorno Karabakh is Already Independent,” the crowd chanted “Karabakh is Armenian,” catching the Aliyev off guard as he exited his vehicle, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun youth union’s Greek office told PanARMENIAN.Net,

The Armenian community of Greece, especially the youth, had gathered to raise their voices in unison against the visit of the Azeri president to Greece.

Aliyev's Azeri security team was very aggressive toward the protesters and pushed the Azad Or editor and Armenian photographers back and stopped them, as representatives of the press, from entering the building. The Greek police also held back protesters, who refused to move from their positions.

Soon thereafter, President Papoulias arrived and was greeted by cheers from the protesters, who stayed put until the conclusion of the conference and Aliyev's quick exit from the venue, where the protesters continued their protest slogans.

During the meeting, Aliyev reiterated his anti-Armenian rhetoric, saying that “Armenia has invaded and is occupying Azeri lands.”

Gurgen's martyrdom will not be forgotten.

Anti-Armenian hysteria in Azerbaijan leads to dreadful and wild behavior
Floods of dirt and falsehood have already brought up in Azerbaijan a whole generation, for whom the assassination of an Armenian is heroism, and even duty.

19.02.2009 GMT+04:00

Today is the odd and sorrowful day of February 19 that marks the 5th anniversary of the brutal assassination of Armenian military officer Gurgen Margaryan by Azeri serviceman Ramil Safarov in Budapest, Hungary. Today the Armenian Apostolic Church also celebrates “Vardanants Day” and marks the anniversary of Presidential Elections in Armenia.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ But we’ll dwell only on Gurgen Margaryan, or, to be more exact, on the motivation Safarov had for this barbaric act. The progressive anti-Armenian hysteria in Azerbaijan may lead to even more dreadful and wild behavior in future. It has already wiped off a thick layer of civilization under which we once again noticed the Turk asker’s face, distorted with hatred and fury, an asker whose cherished dream was to murder Armenians. In order not to sound groundless, we’ll quote the words of Safarov, who is considered a hero in his motherland, if not a shahid. By the way, the enthusiasm of Baku to take what is left lying around loose, brought to the term “shahid” to be smartly altered so that it meets the needs of the Azeri Agitation and Propaganda Department. “Shahid” is a martyr for belief, but never a street bandit like the ‘heroic’ soldier of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. During the first interrogation, Safarov motivated.

During the first interrogation, Safarov motivated his deed as follows: “I regret I didn’t kill any Armenian before… When I learnt there were two Armenians taking the same courses I felt hatred for them. When they greeted me I did not answer. One day they passed by and smiled. That moment I decided that I will cut off their heads at dawn. I tried to open the door and it opened, it wasn’t locked. I turned on the light. Entering the door on the left bed the Armenian was lying facing the wall. The Hungarian was on the right hand side bed, but I didn’t pay attention to the way he was lying. As I turned on the light the Armenian turned to his back, trying to open his eyes, but at that moment I hit him at the forehead with the flat side of the axe. The Hungarian guy woke up and told me in English: “Please… please…” I told him it was not his business and it was only between Armenians and Azeris. Then I turned the axe to the sharp side and hit the Armenian on the neck. I don’t exactly remember where else I hit, but I also remember having hit him on the leg.”

As a matter of principle, Safarov’s deed is quite explicable. With current state in Azerbaijan, when the news headlines are crammed with criminals, drug addicts and perverts, such kind of actions are standard. It is only for civilized countries that any case of murder is considered savagery, while for nomads it is a natural state of mind. Floods of dirt and falsehood have already brought up in Azerbaijan a whole generation, for whom the assassination of an Armenian is heroism, and even duty. And if there is no Armenian close at hand, an Azeri is ready to kill, rape and spoil his neighbour, brother, or even mother. The other day the already closed website Day.az published a story about a child viciously beheaded by his father.

All the efforts of the Azerbaijani side to recognize Safarov irresponsible and achieve extradition to homeland proved useless. On April 13, 2006 the First Instance Court of Budapest sentenced Safarov to life imprisonment without a right of pardon for 30 years. In February 2007, the Budapest Court of Appeals upheld the verdict. But not only did Safarov commit a murder, he also s

But not only did Safarov commit a murder, he also started a fight with a policeman, thus getting another term in jail. No comment…

And lastly. On May 19, 2008 Safarov’s lawyer Adil Ismailov organized a press-conference in the legal office “ADISAD” with participation of Rafik Ismailov, member of the “Human Rights XXI century - Azerbaijan” Foundation. Answering the question issued by Rafik Ismailov concerning violation of Safarov’s rights at the trial, the lawyer said serious violations had been committed.

Especially, there was not taken into account Ramil Safarov’s bad conduct of the Russian language and thus, he was deprived of his right to give evidence in the Azeri language with the help of an interpreter. The lawyer also noted that Safarov’s first interrogation was carried out 8 hours after his detention. At the same time they failed to consider the weak moral- psychological and physical state of Ramil, which is a grave violation of the investigation process too.

Of course he was «morally weak»; after all killing an Armenian was a hard job for faint-hearted Safarov.

Armenian soldiers in Azerbaijan do not want to return Armenia: ministry
05.03.09 17:02

Azerbaijan, Baku, Baku /Trend News, J. Babayeva/

Armenian soldiers who voluntarily crossed the border into Azerbaijan said they do not want to return to Armenia, Azerbaijani Defense Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu told Trend News.

The soldiers crossed the border into Azerbaijan in Evciduzu in Agdam at noon on Feb. 28. They asked Khojali IDP Zumrud Aliyeva to give them food in Russian.

Aliyeva heard them speaking Armenian and informed a nearby military unit.

The soldiers were later detained - Grant Markosyan, Artur Varteryan and Alik Tevosyan.

Sabiroglu said the soldiers fear that they will be tortured upon returning to Armenia.

"They are afraid that they will once again have to face the unbearable conditions in the Armenian army," he said.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December 1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7 districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
