Ադրբեջանում «մանթրաժ» են. Վահան Մարտիրոսյանը հիմա էլ դավաճանել է Ադրբեջանին

Ներքին կյանք - 28 Մայիսի 2017,


Ադրբեջանական ԶԼՄ-ները գրում են այն մասին, որ Հայաստանից Ադրբեջան փախած եւ ներկայում Ուկրաինայում գտնվող Վահան Մարտիրոսյանը, ով միացել էր Բաքվի այսպես ասած «Խաղաղության պլատֆորմին» եւ հակահայկական հոդվածներ էր գրում ադրբեջանական ԶԼՄ-ներում, հայտարարություն է տարածել, որ զղջում է իր արարքի համար:
Ադրբեջանական ԶԼՄ-ները գրում են, որ հնարավոր է նոր վահանմարտիրոսյաններ հայտնվեն, ովքեր նախ դավաճանել են սեփական ժողովրդին, իսկ հետո՝ ադրբեջանական ժողովրդին: Ըստ ամենայնի, նկատի է առնվում այդ տխրահռչակ «խաղաղության պլատֆորմին» միացած հայերին:
Հետաքրքիր է, որ ադրբեջանցիներն իրենց իսկ ստեղծած պլատֆորմը փաստացի համարում են դավաճանների պլատֆորմ՝ այնտեղ կարող են հայտնվել միայն սեփական ժողովրդին դավաճանածները:

Turkey accuses US of 'aggressive actions' over brawl

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40003575

Turkey has blamed US officials for "aggressive and unprofessional actions" and "security lapses" during President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit last week.
The Turkish foreign minister said it had summoned the US ambassador, John Bass, and asked for an investigation.
During the key visit, a brawl erupted between protesters and Turkish security personnel, injuring 11 people.
Police called it a "brutal attack" on protesters, but Turkey blamed the violence on pro-Kurdish demonstrators.
Meanwhile, US State Department spokesman Heather Nauert said "the conduct of Turkish security personnel... was deeply disturbing".
"The State Department has raised its concerns about those events at the highest levels," she added.

US summons Turkish envoy over brawl
The incident happened on Tuesday outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington, hours after Mr Erdogan met US President Donald Trump.
Video footage of the clash showed men in suits charging past police to kick and punch protesters.
"A written and verbal protest was delivered due to the aggressive and unprofessional actions taken, contrary to diplomatic rules and practices, by US security personnel," the Turkish foreign minister said in a statement.
The "lapses of security", it added, "were caused by the inability of US authorities to take sufficient precautions at every stage of the official programme".


Media captionInside President Erdogan's US visit that turned violent
US officials have already summoned the Turkish ambassador over the violence, which was described by Washington police as a "brutal attack on peaceful protesters".
But the Turkish embassy said the demonstrators were linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and had aggressively provoked Turkish-Americans gathering to greet the president. They in turn had acted in self-defence.
The incident drew an outcry among US lawmakers, and Senator John McCain called for the Turkish envoy to be expelled.

The best part of the story is that the SUV they have fined is on reverse mode on the highway.

Turkey cafe boss held for Erdogan 'tea insult'
bbc

The boss of a cafeteria at a Turkish opposition newspaper has been detained after saying he would refuse to serve tea to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Senol Buran, cafeteria head at Cumhuriyet, was remanded accused of insulting the president. He denies the refusal was an insult, his lawyer said.

Turkey has cracked down on dissent since a failed coup in July.

Cumhuriyet staff have been among tens of thousands of people detained, suspended or sacked.

The newspaper is one of few to have taken an anti-Erdogan line.

Mr Buran was on his way to work on 24 December when he found roads were closed as part of security measures for a speech being given by Mr Erdogan.
Mr Buran told police officers: "I would not serve that man a cup of tea."

Cumhuriyet is one of few newspapers to have taken an anti-Erdogan line
A judge at the Istanbul criminal court jailed Mr Buran pending a trial.

Insulting the president can carry a four-year jail term.

Last month, 10 Cumhuriyet staff members were jailed pending trial, suspected of giving support to Kurdish militants and the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, who Turkey blames for masterminding the failed coup attempt.

Its former editor-in-chief, Can Dundar, fled to Germany this year pending appeal against a jail sentence.

Mr Erdogan's critics have accused him of severely curtailing freedom of speech since the coup attempt, with more than 100,000 people sacked or suspended.
His supporters regard him as a strong leader who has been the driving force behind an economic boom.

Cuba offers rum to pay off $276m Czech debt
bbc

Cuban rum is a popular tipple in the Czech Republic

Cuba has come up with an unusual way to repay its multimillion dollar debt to the Czech Republic - bottles of its famous rum, officials in Prague say.
The Czech finance ministry said Havana had raised this possibility during recent negotiations on the issue.
Cuba owes the Czech authorities $276m (£222m), and if the offer is accepted the Czechs would have enough Cuban rum for more than a century.
However, Prague said it preferred to get at least some of the money in cash.
Havana's debt dates back from the Cold War era - when Cuba and what was at the time Czechoslovakia were part of the communist bloc.
Cuba now does not have much money but it does have lots of rum - hence this unusual proposal, says the BBC's Rob Cameron in Prague.
The Czech finance ministry said repayment was possible either with rum or pharmaceutical drugs.
But Cuban drugs lack EU certification, so repayment with a more traditional medicine - popular in the Czech Republic - may be easier to arrange, our correspondent adds.

=====
NB: Interesting to remind that Havana Club was handed to capitalist Pernod Ricard from France, just as our Ararat, back decades ago....
Yet in some way, the cubans seem to have at their disposal part of the output, contrary to our government.

A Saudi Ambassador has likened the using of cluster bombs in Yemen to beating your wife.

When asked by an activist whether Saudi Arabia will continue using cluster weapons in Yemen, the ambassador responds:

"This is a question like did you stop beating your wife?" He then proceeds to laugh.

Saudi Arabia is known to be the most repressive state towards its women where they cannot even drive cars.
