On the picture Her Excellency Ms. Dziunik Aghajanian, Ambassador of the Republic of Armenia. European Court of Human Rights confirms the 1915 massacres and mass-deportations of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire.
Strasbourg, France– The European Court of Human Rights delivered a Grand Chamber judgment in the case of Perinçek v. Switzerland at a public hearing today, October 15, 2015.
The lead counsel for the NGO Coalition (Turkish Human Rights Association, Truth Justice Memory Centre and International Institute for Genocide and Human Rights Studies), Professor Payam Akhavan of McGill University in Canada, a former UN prosecutor at The Hague, emphasized that the Court’s Judgment “clearly, unanimously, and emphatically confirmed the historical truth” of the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
In a divided opinion, the majority of ten judges held that the Swiss judgment against Mr. Perinçek’s denial and minimization of these events violated his freedom of speech under the European Convention on Human Rights. However, seven judges, including the President of the Court, held that “the massacres and deportations suffered by the Armenian people constituted genocide is self-evident.
The Armenian genocide is a clearly established historical fact. ”To deny it is to deny the obvious.” The majority of ten judges also confirmed “the massacres and mass deportations suffered by the Armenian people at the hands of the Ottoman Empire from 1915 onwards” and only differed in its view that it “has not authority to make legally binding pronouncements” on whether these events “can be characterized as genocide within the meaning of that term under international law”.
Mr. Perinçek himself did not deny that these atrocities did in fact take place, but simply denied their characterization as “genocide” and blamed the 1.5 million Armenian victims for their own fate by portraying them as “traitors” and “aggressors”. The majority found that his statements should not have been penalized by the Swiss courts, because they did not pose a threat to Armenians in Switzerland.
Professor Akhavan noted that in doing so, “the majority did not give sufficient weight to the convincing evidence submitted by the NGO Coalition, demonstrating Mr. Perinçek’s racist motives by reference to his previous conduct in Turkey, and its impact on the vulnerable Armenian minority that has been subjected to a campaign of hate speech and violence.”
He emphasized that “this aspect of the decision is unfortunate at a time when there is an alarming increase in ultra-nationalist hate speech and violence in Turkey. The fact that Mr. Perinçek leads the Talaat Pasha Committee (named after the “Ottoman Hitler”) that the European Parliament has characterized as a ‘xenophobic and racist’ organization, is itself the most obvious evidence of his discriminatory motives.”
Professor Akhavan regretted moreover, that the majority disregarded the Istanbul Penal Court’s finding in the Ergenekon trial that Mr. Perinçek had incited hatred and violence against Armenians, on the grounds that instead of relevant excerpts, the NGO Coalition should have produced the full 17,000 page judgment!
The dissenting opinion of the seven judges, including that of the President, is highly significant, in asking:
Why should criminal sanctions for denial of the characterization of the massacres of Armenians in Turkey in 1915 as “genocide” constitute a violation of freedom of expression, whereas criminal sanctions for Holocaust denial have been deemed compatible with the Convention?
According to Professor Akhavan, “the divided opinion of the Grand Chamber, and the alarming increase in extremist violence in Turkey, is the clearest indication that the question of racist hate speech against Armenians is far from resolved, and that it will require constant vigilance. What is clearly established by the Judgment however, is unanimity among all seventeen judges, that the Armenians did in fact suffer massacres and mass deportations at the hands of the Ottoman Empire from 1915 onwards, irrespective of its legal characterization one way or another.”

To mark the foundation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, HE Ambassador Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Abohaimed, recently hosted a reception at the Steigenberger Kurhaus Hotel in Scheveningen.
Saudi Arabia celebrated its 85th National Day (youm al-watani/اليوم الوطني) but what distinguished celebrations this time around is that it fell on the same day as Eid al-adha, one of two Islamic holidays celebrated annually.
This was the first time both occasions coincided according to the astronomical calendar and not according to moon sighting as Saudi Arabia declared the first day of Eid al-adha to be on 24 September. In all cases, many Saudis regarded the two occasions coinciding with one another as a good omen.
H. E. Ambassador Khalid bin Fahad Al Khater Ambassador of the State of Qatar and H. E. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Abohaimed.
H. E. Fernando Arias Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain with H. E. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Abohaimed.
The country’s National Day is fêted yearly on 23 September commemorating the date in 1932 when King Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud (aka Ibn Saud) unified the Arabian lands into the the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Since then seven of his sons have succeeded him to the throne, the incumbent one being The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Ambassador Abohaimed’s reception was well-visited by members of the diplomatic corps but likewise by Dutch officials of the Foreign Minister as well as by a plethora of business people with interests in Saudi Arabia. Likewise the Managing Director of Saudi Aramco Overseas Company, Mr Fahad Al Abdulkarem honoured the event with his presence.
All Gulf Cooperation Council ambassadors except for Bahrain, which is accredited from London to The Netherlands, were present as were their senior staff members, moreover the Director-General of the OPCW, HE AmbassadorAhmet Üzümcü.
In Brussels, HE Ambassador Abdulrahman bin Sulaiman Alahmed and his deputies Counsellor Abnan Bamagoos (bilateral embassy to Belgium and Luxembourg) and Director Thamer Algosaibi (Saudi delegation to the EU) hosted an event for the kingdom’s National Day on 28 September at the prestigious business club Cercle de Lorraine.
This event was attended by the Qatari Minister of Culture, Arts and Heritage, HE Dr. Hamad bin Abdulaziz Al Kuwari who was on a visit to Belgium wherein his son-in-law, HE Ambassador Sheikh Ali bin Jassim bin Thani Al Thani serves as head of mission to the EU, Belgium and Luxembourg. The latter is married to artist and philantrophist Sheikha Iman Al Kuwari.
The Netherlands has sent nine extra police officers to Ukraine to monitor the situation there. They will join the Special Monitoring Mission of the Organization for Security and Co operation in Europe (OSCE), of which the Netherlands has been a part since May 2014.The decision to send the Dutch monitors was taken by foreign minister Bert Koenders and justice minister Ard van der Steur. They say extra OSCE monitoring is necessary to ensure the provisions of the Minsk agreements, including a ceasefire and withdrawal of heavy weapons, are implemented. ‘We can see that the security situation is still fragile,’ said Mr Koenders. ‘So the OSCE’s work is very relevant. The Netherlands wants to support the mission, to promote further de-escalation.’‘We will continue to urge parties at all levels to ensure the Minsk agreements are implemented, so as to achieve a political solution to the conflict,’ he added. ‘The OSCE’s role is crucial. It’s the only organisation in Ukraine that reports daily on the developments there, on the basis of a mandate accepted by all parties.’The mission team works in difficult conditions. Mr Koenders emphasised how important it is that the monitors can do their job properly. It is essential that the mission receive the information it needs and has full and safe access. The Dutch police are contributing to EU and UN missions in seven countries, enhancing international security. The experience gained in these missions has equipped them with the right expertise and capabilities to contribute to the expansion of OSCE monitors in Ukraine. ‘It’s crucial that member states provide monitors if the OSCE is to succeed in its difficult task,’ said Mr Van der Steur.Besides sending various numbers of monitors to Ukraine over the past couple of years, the Netherlands is also making a sizeable financial contribution of more than €6.8 million to the Special Monitoring Mission. That makes the Netherlands one of the largest financial donors of the mission. OSCE monitors previously provided valuable assistance to the Netherlands in the MH17 repatriation mission.

Thandie M.V. Photography by Alexandar Petrenko.New book tells story of diversity, international living and connects cultures globally through children’s play and places.
Author Thandie M.V. has been inspired by her daughter Rose, who has lived in several countries and experienced the joy of gaining new friends, but also the pain of losing friends, nannies and constantly changing schools and homes.
Rose’s experience prompted her to write “To Catch a Rainbow-Connecting People, Play, and Places,” (published by AuthorHouse UK). This is a story about travel, diversity and international living which connects cultures across the globe through people, children’s play and places.
A little girl, Rose, comes from two countries and travels the world with her parents wherever they have to work. Making friends seem easy and hard at the same time, packing bags gets tiring, while seeing new places is always an exciting adventure. Little Rose has become adaptable to change, but even then, international living while a great adventure is challenging.
Rose’ full of life personality and her tact in adapting to difficult situations have been inspiring and one that many kids and families will relate to and/or learn from. To Catch a Rainbow symbolizes the existence of culturally diverse worlds that little Rose finds in all the countries she travels to. It signifies how people from all over the world are mingling all the time.
“This book addresses an aspect of expatriate lifestyles- and to an extent- managed migration- all told from a child’s perspective,” the author says. “The world today faces a growing crisis on migration and how people react to foreigners. This is a story of people integrating positively in foreign countries. It can be a teaching guide on accepting others different from us and explains in simple language why people leave their home countries to live in foreign countries.”“To Catch a Rainbow,” fosters a positive message on how globalization is changing the face of national identities by connecting cultures and peoples through travel.

We need more moneyallocated to the refugee crisis – and our budget has been modified by bothco-legislators approved. We have sent experts to Greece and Italy to the hotspotsenrelocation arrangements to launch and we have urged all member states insisted thatthey are correctly implementing the EU’s common asylum rules.
There are now concrete results,but Member States must do more. Noble words must be followed up at home in theform of concrete measures. “
Member States need to quickly respond to requests for national experts put on the hotspots to inform the Commission about their capacity and establish a national focal point to coordinate the relocation in Greece and Italy and the national resettlement activities.
Many Member States have yet to offer their own equivalent funding to support the UNHCR, the World Food Programme and other relevant organizations (500 million euros), the regional trust fund from the EU to Syria (500 million euros) and the Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (1.8 billion euro).
Member States should also ensure the correct implementation of EU legislation. The Commission has not yet received an answer to the 40 written warnings at the September sent to the States on potential or actual breaches of EU asylum legislation (in addition to the 34 cases that were already pending at September 23).
