Blast rocks Afghan capital

Blast rocks Afghan capital
At least four people have reportedly been killed in a large explosion near the US embassy in the Afghan capital of Kabul, witnesses and police say.Officials suspect it was a suicide attack that struck a convoy of foreign troops close to the embassy entrance on Thursday.Reports say the bomber detonated explosives about 200 metres from the heavily guarded entrance to the US compound. The head of criminal investigations of Kabul police said four civilians had been killed in the blast, but Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, Kabul police chief, said only one civilian had been killed and six more wounded when the bomber blew up his Toyota saloon car on a road near the embassy and the health mnistry. US embassy staff were off work for the Thanksgiving public holiday and were unlikely to be out on the roads at the time, an embassy spokesman said. Security in Afghanistan has become a key concern for foreign troops and officials, as the country faces an increasingly resurgent Taliban.

Kabul 'bomb attack' on US embassy

A suspected suicide bomber has struck close to the entrance to the US embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, witnesses and police say. At least one person, reportedly a civilian, was killed, although one police official said more had died. Reports said the bomber detonated explosives about 200m from the heavily guarded entrance to the US compound. Security in Afghanistan has become a key concern as the country faces an increasingly strong Taleban insurgency. Kabul's police chief, Mohammad Ayoub Salangi, said one person had been killed and six injured. However, the city's head of criminal investigations told reporters that four had died in the bombing. The Associated Press said the US embassy was hosting a Thanksgiving Day event, and Americans and others foreigners were entering the compound at the time of the explosion.

Iran aiming for 50,000 centrifuges

Iran aiming for 50,000 centrifuges

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 18:24:19 GMT
Iran's Atomic Energy Organization plans to install 50,000 centrifuges in the country's nuclear facilities in the space of five years. Gholam-Reza Aqazadeh, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, told reporters that over 5,000 centrifuges are currently operational in the country. "Given that Iran intends to generate 5,000 megawatt nuclear power, we plan to install 50,000 centrifuges over the next five years," said the Iranian nuclear official, who attended an exhibition of the country's nuclear achievements on Wednesday. Earlier in April, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced plans to install 6,000 new centrifuges in the Natanz nuclear facility by March 2009. Deputy Foreign Minister Ali-Reza Sheikh-Attar later in August said Iran was using 4,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium and planned to install an additional 3,000. The International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN nuclear monitoring agency, which routinely inspects Iran's main enrichment facility at Natanz through visits and permanent video surveillance, confirms that Iran has managed to enrich uranium-235 to a level 'less than 5 percent'. The rate is consistent with the developing of a nuclear power plant. Nuclear arms production requires an enrichment level of above 90 percent. Western countries claiming that Iran's enrichment is aimed at building a nuclear weapon have proposed a "freeze-for-freeze," where Iran would suspend uranium enrichment and the sanctions against the country over its nuclear activities would be lifted. Aqazadeh, however, said Iran would not consider suspending uranium enrichment, adding that suspension is not an option. Iran argues that the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), of which it is a signatory, gives the country the right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, adding that nuclear energy is essential for meeting its growing energy demand. Regarding the issue of the "alleged studies", which accuses Iran of pursuing a "green salt project, high explosives testing, and the missile re-entry vehicle project", the IAEA, in its November report, called on Tehran to implement the Additional Protocol to help the agency clarify the nature of its nuclear activities. The Additional Protocol requires member states to provide an expanded declaration of their nuclear activities and grants the agency the right of access to any site in the country. Aqazadeh, however, said, "certain political grounds should be established first before Iran can accept the Additional Protocol."

Hurriyet - ’Israel may attack Iran via Turkey’
WASHINGTON - If Israel were to attack Iran's alleged nuclear weapons facilities, its bomber aircraft would most likely fly through Turkish air space, a prominent neo-conservative U.S. columnist has said. "The Israelis would not attack over Iraq. The way to go is through Turkey," Charles Krauthammer, a syndicated columnist who writes for the Washington Post and some other publications, said on the political panel "Inside Washington" on WJLA TV in Washington DC. The program was broadcast Sunday. He was asked if Israeli aircraft would have to fly through Iraqi air space in the event of an air attack inside Iranian territory. Krauthammer claimed that when Israeli fighter-bomber jets attacked and destroyed a suspected nuclear installation in Syria on Sept. 6 last year, they used Turkish air space on the way. "When Israel attacked the reactor in Syria, it went up the Mediterranean and through Turkish air space," he said.

CIA Killed 20 Polish AF Officers who Opposed “Antimissile Shield" in Poland ?? . January 23, 2008

It is evident that the anti-Russian propaganda in Poland reaches new heights. After the publicity campaign for the film “Katyn” (in the media I find a short information that all soldiers of Polish Army were compelled to see his film, as the part of their “cultural training”), the construction of the American “antimissile shield” become once again the propaganda tool, serving to stir both anti-Russian and anti-European emotions among common people. Only two weeks ago the newly elected in last September, Polish government was declaring officially its hardly concealed hostility towards this “shield” as the USA-owned, dangerous for Polish citizenry, military installation on Polish territory. And than suddenly, on the February 1st, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Radek Sikorski (a member of the American Enterprise Institute, by the way) suddenly changed his mind and inclined, during his visit in Washington, to all pressures exercised by White House. This American “master of Eastern Europe” is wishing to establish in Poland not only the (anti)missile base, but also several subsequent, US Army owned, military bases. This supposedly in order to protect Poland from Russian hegemonistic drive. What happened, which changed the mind of Polish government so rapidly? On January 23rd a big military cargo plane, which was bought only two years earlier from the Spanish CASA producer, crushed in northern Poland, killing in this accident 20 high officers of Polish Air Force, including the chief of the personnel assuring the security of Polish airspace, general Andrzejewski. The origin of this crush still remains a mystery, supposedly pilots made a too narrow u-turn during the second attempt of landing in relatively good weather conditions. This, seriously wounding Polish military staff accident, professor Ivo Cyprian Pogonowski, an 85 years old, internationally known historian, living since decades in USA, commented in a following way, quoting information he found in a book of John Perkins “Confessions of Economic hit-Man”: “Every one politician (trying to liberate his country from “pincers of freedom” imposed by US Department of State) was told: “If you will be docile, you will be rich, but in case of disobedience you will finish like Allende in Chile, Arbenz in Guatemala or Lumumba in Congo”. The presidents of two countries, men whom I respected and thought of as kindred spirits - Jaime Roldós, president of Ecuador, and Omar Torrijos, president of Panama - both had just died in fiery crashes. Their deaths were not accidental. They were assassinated because they opposed that fraternity of corporate, government, and banking heads whose goal is global empire. We Economic Hit Men failed to bring Roldós and Torrijos around, and the other type of hit men, the CIA-sanctioned jackals who were always right behind us, stepped in.” End of Perkins’ quote. It is of interest to know whether the recent death, in Poznan Voievodie, of Polish generals, commanders of air forces, was a similar one, for they were not giving the permission for the construction of “shield” in Poland, and they did not want to endanger their country with the possibility of Russian nuclear counter-strikes.” Pogonowski indeed turned to be a prophet bringing bad news: only a week after the crash of CASA cargo aircraft, Polish government has changed its mind concerning the installation of the (surely nuclear) “shield”,

Its installation is planned at the abandoned military airport of Redzikowice, which is situated only 2 km from Pomeranian Academy of Pedagogy, where I teach, and only 4 km from the center of city of Slupsk, with its 100 thousand of citizens. Of interests are two “small” facts:

1/ The CASA cargo plane crushed only 20 minutes after an inter-landing at Krzesiny military airport near Poznan, where at present a US military air base is located.

2/ The article titled “Global Corruption”, in which Pogonowski enounced such an “interesting” explication of the recent CASA catastrophe in Poland, has disappeared from Pogonowski”s website www.pogonowski.com .It happened that I copied earlier the passage translated into English above, so I repeat Pogonowski”s “miraculously missing” prophecy in its Polish original: Ciekawe, czy niedawna śmierć w Poznańskim polskich generałów dowódców lotnictwa, była analogiczna, ponieważ nie zgadzali się na budowę "Tarczy" w Polsce i nie chcieli narażać ojczyzny na rosyjskie bomby nuklearne. " With greetings from Pomerania, I ask to dispatch this message to the wide circle of readers of your website. Marek G

hurriyet-Greece backs Greek Cypriots in oil exploration - Συγγνώμη , δεν θα το ξανακάνουμε..

Greece on Wednesday backed Greek Cypriots in a row with Turkey over oil exploration, a day after the Greek Cypriots accused Ankara of having resorted to 19th century-style gunboat diplomacy. "I cannot say that Turkey's stance until now, and its general practices in the eastern Mediterranean leave much room for optimism," Greek President Karolos Papoulias was quoted by AFP as saying. It was "unacceptable" that Turkey should call into question "sovereign rights" concerning the exploitation of marine wealth that Greek Cypriots have under international law, he added. Papoulias was speaking after a meeting with his Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias, who on Wednesday began a three-day official visit to Greece.The Greek Cypriots said the incident occurred off the Cyprus south coast on Nov. 13, when a Turkish warship turned back a Norwegian-flagged exploration vessel. Cypriot Foreign Minister Marcos Kyprianou on Tuesday accused Turkey of resorting to 19th-century tactics. "No modern state, especially one that wants to join the EU, sends out warships to impede the (legal) exercise of rights," he added.Ankara countered that the Greek Cypriot oil search mission had violated its territorial rights and vowed to protest to international bodies. "We consider it an adventurist move to carry out activities on Turkey's continental shelf at a time when negotiations for a comprehensive settlement are under way in Cyprus," foreign ministry spokesman Burak Ozugergin told AFP on Tuesday . Greece and Greek Cypriots will remain vigilant to scrutinize Turkey's strategy and tactics, AFP quoted Christofias as telling reporters after his meeting with Papoulias. "We are builders, not wreckers," he said, but added they will defend the sovereign rights of Greek Cypriots and Greece against schemes coming from "this provocative neighbor". The Greek Cypriot administration has signed gas and oil exploration deals with Egypt and Lebanon, prompting protests from Turkey on grounds that the deals infringe on the rights of Turkish Cypriots. The incident came as Turkish and Greek Cypriots enter a period of renewed talks to reunite the island that has been divided since 1964 when Turkish Cypriots were forced to withdraw into enclaves. Greece also clashed with Turkey last week in a separate row over oil exploration. On November 15, a Norwegian survey ship commissioned by the Turkish government called off a search in the southeastern Aegean after Athens complained that the exploration was being conducted in its waters.

Huawei wins series of contracts in Africa.(Huawei In Africa)
Contract value amounts to over US$400 million Recently, Huawei Technologies won a series of contracts which amount to over US$400 million from mainstream telecom operators from Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria. The cooperation covers a wide scope of Huawei products and solutions including 3G, NGN, optical transmission, switches, routers, and Intelligent Networks. On November 1, 2004, Huawei won a US$34 million bid from Kenya's biggest mobile operator, SAFARICOM, to reconstruct and update SAFARICOM's Intelligent Network. Chairwoman of the board of Huawei Technologies, Ms. Sun Yafang, and Michael Joseph, President of SAFARICOM, signed the contract on behalf of the two ...
Huawei Opens Centre With Latin America
Chinese equipment manufacturer Huawei Technologies has opened a support services centre in Málaga, Spain. The global technical assistance centre (GTAC) is to provide Spanish-speaking services to operators in Spain and Latin America. An agreement was also signed between Huawei and Spain's Telefónica to create an innovation centre with a particular focus on fixed and mobile broadband technologies.

[In 1994, Huawei established long distance transmission equipment business, launched its own HONET integrated access network and SDH product line. In 1996, Huawei captured its first overseas contract, providing fixed-line network products to Hongkong's Hutchison-Whampoa. Later, in 1997, Huawei released its GSM product and eventually expanded to offer CDMA and UMTS.From 1998 to 2003, Huawei contracted with IBM for management consulting, and underwent significant transformation of its management and product development structure. After 2001, Huawei increased its speed of expanding into oversea market. By 2004, its overseas sales had surpassed that of the domestic market. Huawei has a joint venture with Siemens for developing TD-SCDMA products. In 2003, Huawei entered into a joint venture named Huawei-3Com with 3Com for Internet Protocol-based routers and switches, eventually selling its 49% stake to 3Com in 2007 for $US 882 million.Huawei and American security firm Symantec announced in May 2007 the forming of a joint-venture company that will develop security and storage appliances to market to telecommunications carriers. Huawei will own 51% of the new company, to be named Huawei-Symantec Inc. Symantec will own the rest. The joint-venture will be based in Chengdu. In 2005, Huawei was selected by BT as a preferred supplier of communications equipment for BT’s 21CN network strategy In the same year, Huawei signed a Global Framework Agreement with Vodafone for mobile network infrastructure In 2006, Motorola signed a deal with Huawei where Motorola distributes and installs Huawei's 3G equipment. On November 15 (2006), Huawei signed a dealworth 30 million euros (US$38.4 million) with German operator Versatel Holding Deutschland GmbH. Huawei will build a fibre-optic communication network based on Internet protocol (IP) for Versatel, Germany's third largest fixed-line operator. On February 1 (2007), Forbes reported that France Telecom has selected Huawei to supply UMTS mobile equipment for its third generation networkHuawei replaced Alcatel/Motorola in Romania, and Nortel in Belgium.]

οι περιπέτειες με την Αμερικανική κυβέρνηση .. και την Cisco

Meanwhile, Ren has gone about building Huawei into a success story disregarding the usual corporate niceties. In 2000--three years before the WMD craze got us all nutso about taking out Saddam--the CIA accused Huawei of secretly selling a communications system to Iraq. In the final report of the Iraq Survey Group, Huawei and two other Chinese companies were singled out for carrying out "extensive work in and around Baghdad"--mainly telecommunication switches and the installation of fiber-optic cable. Then in 2003, Cisco socked Huawei with a patent infringement lawsuit. Cisco claimed Huawei ripped off its intellectual property to make a lineup of routers and switches. Huawei denied the allegations though in the end caved.

Chavez welcomes Russian warships

Russian warships have sailed into a Venezuelan port in the first deployment of its kind in the Caribbean since the end of the Cold War. The vessels were greeted by a 21-gun military salute on Tuesday at the start of a week of joint manoeuvres as Moscow and Caracas seek to strengthen their political and trade ties. The ships, including the nuclear-powered cruiser Peter the Great and the destroyer Admiral Chabankenko, arrived at La Guaira, a port near to the capital Caracas, to coincide with a two day visit by Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president. Vice-admiral Luis Morales Marquez, a Venezuelan operations commander, said the aim of the joint exercise was to "strengthen links of friendship and solidarity with the Russian fleet and the Bolivarian national armed forces". However, the move has been widely interpreted as a demonstration of the Kremlin's anger at the US over both its plans to install a missile-defence shield in eastern Europe and its decision to send aid-laden warships to Georgia this summer

Turkey, Greek Cyprus exchange accusations in oil search spat

Turkey accused a Greek Cypriot oil search mission in the Mediterranean Sea of violating its territorial rights, and vowed to make its own protests to international bodies over the dispute.
"We consider it an adventurist move to carry out activities on Turkey's continental shelf at a time when negotiations for a comprehensive settlement are under way in Cyprus," foreign ministry spokesman Burak Ozugergin told AFP on Tuesday . Ankara has moved to lodge protests against the Greek administration in Cyprus at international bodies, he added, without giving details. Greek Cypriots earlier accused Turkey of harassing two Panamanian-flagged vessels in international waters on Nov. 13, and said that a second incident occurred on Nov. 24.
Turkey has said the exploration was encroaching its continental shelf, while Greek Cypriots said the incidents occurred in a maritime zone it has rights over under international conventions. ispute flared amid U.N.-brokered talks between Turkish Cypriot leader Mehmet Ali Talat and Greek Cypriot leader Demetris Christofias aimed at ending the island's 44-year division. "We will decisively defend the sovereign rights of the Republic of Cyprus... and we have reported the provocative actions of Ankara to the United Nations and the EU," Christofias said. The Greek Cypriot administration has signed gas and oil exploration deals with Egypt and Lebanon, prompting protests from Turkey on grounds that the deals infringe on the rights of Turkish Cypriots.

Politkovskaya case 'suspect' mooted

Politkovskaya case 'suspect' mooted
Anna Politkovskaya was shot dead outside her apartment in Moscow two years ago
A Russian politician ordered the murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the investigative journalist shot dead two years ago, according to details in an indictment, a defence lawyer has said.Murad Musayev, a lawyer in the trial of three men charged in the killing, said prosecutors had identified "a politician" inside Russia - without naming the suspect - of ordering the killing.The allegations contradict suggestions by Russian authorities that the killing was the work of a Kremlin enemy acting from abroad.Colleagues from the newspaper where Politkovskaya worked have alleged that authorities want the trial, partially opened to the media on Tuesday, held behind closed doors so that embarrassing details about the investigation are not made public. The prosecution had said it wanted the court closed to the media because of the possibility that it might hear evidence from Pavel Ryaguzov, a state security agent, who is being tried alongside the three suspects, on charges unrelated to Politkovskaya's murder. Jonah Hull, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Moscow, said: "Even if the defence account is correct, there is no guarantee that such sensitive information will ever make it into open court."
Judge criticised
Dzhabrail Makhmudov and Ibragim Makhmudov, brothers from Chechnya, are accused of helping arrange Politkovskaya's murder along with former policeman Sergei Khadzhikurbanov.
The three men are charged with being involved in the murder, but not with either ordering it or carrying it out. Hull said: "It's been described by supporters of Anna Politkovskaya as a farce. In the dock sits neither the alleged killer, nor the person who ordered her murder, merely three men accused of involvement in the crime."The trial of the three men, all of whom deny the charges, appeared in disarray on Tuesday after the prosecution demanded that Yevgeny Zubov, the judge, be dismissed from the case. Pavel Ryaguzov, left, and Sergei Khadzhikurbanov at the trial in Moscow [AFP] Musayev said that prosecutors had asked for Zubov to be removed after he lifted his own ban on media covering the trial. "They consider that various organisational questions are having an influence on the judge's opinions," Musayev said. Karina Moskalenko, a lawyer for the Politkovskaya family, also confirmed prosecutors had applied for the judge to be taken off the case.
Chaotic hearing
The request to remove Zubov was made during a chaotic hearing when journalists were first barred from the courtroom, then later let back in. Journalists were then told to leave again so the court could discuss procedural issues. Hull said: "The other surprise of the day was the judge's reversal of his own decision last week to throw the press out. "But the presence now of journalists in court may prove too great a threat to the doubtless powerful interests that sought Politkovskaya's death. "There are fresh suggestions the prosecution may seek to have judge Zubov removed from the case. With him, quite possibly, would go the media as well."The judge also told the court he was dismissing one of the jurors, Yevgeny Kolyesov, for breaking rules barring discussion of the case in public. The move came after the juror gave a radio interview last week challenging the judge's decision to exclude the press. Kremlin critic. Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of the Kremlin, was shot dead outside her apartment in Moscow two years ago, causing an outcry in the West over Russia's commitment to press freedom. A 48-year-old mother-of-two, Politkovskaya had reported on human rights abuses in Russia's turbulent Chechnya region and elsewhere and had received numerous threats. The trial of the three alleged accomplices in her murder is widely viewed as a test of Russia's justice system, which in the past has failed to put the main suspects behind bars in several politically charged murder cases. Politkovskaya's family says the investigation is incomplete because the man they suspect of killing her, Rustam Makhmudov, is on the run and has not been charged

Bosnia Serb region to sue U.S. envoy, prosecutors

By Olja Stanic-BANJA LUKA, Bosnia (Reuters)

Bosnia's Serb region said Monday it will file criminal charges against a U.S. envoy and international prosecutors in Bosnia over an investigation into government infrastructure deals.A spokesman for Serb Republic Prime Minister Milorad Dodik did not specify what the exact charges were but said they would be prepared this week.European and U.S. prosecutors working in Bosnia's state court under a 1995 peace agreement want documents on contracts for a lavish 110 million-euro ($138.5 million) government building in Banja Luka as well as a local highway, police sources and diplomats say.Dodik has repeatedly rejected handing over the documents, saying the state court did not have jurisdiction to probe his government's deals and accusing prosecutors and judges of bias against Serbs.He has accused U.S. diplomat Raffi Gregorian, the international Deputy High Representative in Bosnia, of plotting against his government along with the foreign prosecutors, judges and some journalists and civic activists."We suspect a criminal association that is aiming to stop a positive trend of development in Republika Srpska and show it in incorrect and negative light," Dodik said last week.His move to seek criminal charges could inflame tensions between the two halves of the country -- born out of a 1992-95 war involving Serbs, Muslims and Croats -- and some experts say fighting could break out again.Gregorian said Dodik seemed to be "losing touch with reality.""It's an obvious attempt to deflect attention from his repeated failure and broken promises regarding the legal obligation to turn over documents ... regarding a number of projects that have been carried out in the RS (Serb Republic) under questionable circumstances," Gregorian told Reuters. The leader of the Serb region that makes up Bosnia along with the Muslim-Croat federation, Dodik has pushed hard for greater autonomy for the Serb Republic since he came to power in 2006. Bosnia state court prosecutors are also probing deals with a Russian investor who acquired the Brod oil refinery and a joint venture with Czech power group CEZ, sources said.

Nigerian militants threaten chaos in western delta

LAGOS - Nigerian militants threatened to bring chaos to the western Niger Delta by interrupting shipping and attacking oil and gas facilities run by U.S. firm Chevron unless the region's military commander was removed.
The Ijaw Youth Leaders Forum (IYLF) said it wanted Brigadier General Wuyep Rimtip, commander of the joint military task force in the western delta, who has taken a tougher line on oil-related crime than his predecessor, transferred immediately.The threat raised the prospect of a new campaign of violence against the oil industry in the western delta, which has been much quieter than the volatile east for several years."(Rimtip) has woken the peaceful sleeping dogs of the Niger Delta," the forum said in an emailed statement.Security experts say the IYLF is effectively the political wing of a network of militants and activists from the Ijaw community, the predominant ethnic group in the delta. The IYLF email was signed by two "commanders" describing themselves as spokesmen for "Camp-5," believed to refer to a camp in Delta state belonging to rebel leader Tom Polo."If the commander of the JTF is not changed with immediate effect, we will stop the free flow of boats and vessels in the Delta waterways and make Delta state ungovernable," it said. The IYLF also threatened attacks on facilities run by Chevron in Delta state, which include the Escravos crude oil export terminal and the Escravos Gas-to-Liquid (EGTL) project. "We will take over Chevron Nigeria Ltd and EGTL despite the numerous gunboats and helicopters," the statement said.
Chevron could not immediately be reached for comment.
TOUGHER MILITARY STANCE
Attacks by militants on oil facilities in the Niger Delta, home to Africa's biggest oil and gas industry, have shut down around a fifth of Nigerian output since early 2006. Nigeria currently pumps around 2 million barrels per day.The unrest has mostly been in Rivers state in the east, where the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has blown up pipelines and flow stations.Delta and Bayelsa, the two other main oil-producing states to the west, have been comparatively quiet.Their state governments have preferred to "settle the boys" -- negotiate with the militants and award them security contracts rather than take an overtly military strategy.

Ms Burjanadze has always been in the right place at the right time. The daughter of a famous Georgian official, she was introduced into Eduard Shevardnadze’s circle, but she managed to dissociate herself from him to head the rose revolution with Mikhail Saakashvili. Some people said the she was to become new Georgia’s President, but Mr Saakashvili was allegedly shrewder, and the West staked on him. Adjara’s former leader Aslan Abashidze once said that Eduard Shevardnadze treated Mikhail Saakashvili and Nino Burjanadze as his closest supporters, but they let him down. However, in Georgia it was regarded as a feat, rather than betrayal. Indeed, can you call betrayal something that is done in the name of the motherland? But for the revolution, Eduard Shevardnadze and his cronies would have ruined the country. This is what new national leaders said. Nino Burjanadze headed the Georgian Parliament for eight years, remaining Mikhail Saakashvili’s close supporter. She was dubbed Iron Nino for her self-mastery – something Mikhail Saakashvili has always lacked. When the recent presidential campaign was launched last year, Mikhail Saakashvili endowed Nino Burjanadze with the right to be acting President. He both trusted and was afraid of her. He was aware that Iron Nino didn’t give up her presidential ambitions. At that time he praised Ms Burjanadze much, calling her his devoted friend, Iron Lady and Georgian Margaret Thatcher. In response, the Speaker asked her supporters not to rally and not to impede the Government’s work. She knew quite well that she was far away from being a big-timer.Nino Burjanadze stayed with Mikhail Saakashvili till she felt it jeopardized her. And she quit the Saakashvili team at the right time again. According to the South Ossetian party, the Georgian army began preparing for a military operation in South Ossetia back in April. That month Nino Burjanadze announced her resignation. Perhaps she did not know that hostilities would be unleashed in South Ossetia, but she couldn’t have noticed Georgia’s militarization. She must have understood that Mikhail Saakashvili’s refusal to sign a treaty on the non-use of force with Tskhinvali and Sukhumi meant that hostilities would certainly break out. She knew that Mikhail Saakashvili had no other way out. Russia would grab South Ossetia and Abkhazia; and the President would be unable to explain his people why he had done nothing to stop the “Russian expansion.”It would have been unwise to side with Mikhail Saakashvili longer. And Ms Burjanadze cannot be called an unwise politician. She has always been astute. Now that Georgia was defeated in the war and the public is disappointed at Mikhail Saakashvili’s policy, she appears the only stronghold in the world of instability and challenges, which is why she is mostly likely to become the next Georgian President.

Russian official says Turkish, U.S. mercenaries fought for Georgia

Russian official says Turkish, U.S. mercenaries fought for Georgia
Russia has evidence that citizens from NATO member states including the United States and Turkey fought for Georgia in the five-day August conflict in the Caucasus, Russia's top investigator said on Monday. Alexander Bastrykin, head of the Prosecutor-General's investigative committee, said he believed that foreign fighters from Turkey, the United States, Czech Republic, Chechnya, the Baltic States and Ukraine fought against Russia. "It was a fairly small number of people. They mainly fulfilled support roles", Bastrykin was quoted by Reuters as telling reporters in Russia's second city of St Petersburg.A senior security official in Tbilisi dismissed the statement and said by law only Georgian nationals could serve in the country's armed forces.Bastrykin said some had conducted training for the Georgian armed forces. "There were also two snipers ... one from Ukraine and I believe a Latvian woman," he said.He said he considered the presence of foreign fighters a criminal offence and said he would bring it up at a meeting with representatives of Interpol.Russia and Georgia had engaged in a bloody conflict in August after Georgian forces tried to retake South Ossetia, a Moscow-backed separatist region that rejects Tbilisi's rule.Russia recognized the two regions as independent states in the aftermath of August's conflict, drawing condemnation from Western states who said it was violating Georgia's sovereignty."It's really difficult to make comments on such absurd statements," Kakha Lomaia, the Secretary of Georgia's National Security Council, said, as he responded to Bastrykin's allegation."There are only Georgian citizens in the Georgian army as it's a legal requirement," he was quoted by Reuters as saying."The statement that almost half of the world was fighting in our army in August is just a fantasy of those in the Russian leadership who would like to justify killings of the peaceful population," he added.

Israeli squadron devising attack on Iran?

The Israeli Air Force is reportedly holding secret training sessions to prepare for what may be a future attack on Iran's nuclear facilities. An Israeli squadron is conducting dress rehearsals in the Negev desert, for a strike on Iran's nuclear infrastructureThe Sunday Times reported. According to the Sunday report, the secret mission could lead to Israel's third and 'easily most dangerous' attack on a nuclear plant in three decades if it gets 'the political go-ahead'. Israel had earlier attacked nuclear plants in Iraq and Syria. "We feel the future of Israel isn't safe and we want to do what we can to defend it," The Sunday Times quoted a pilot as saying on condition of anonymity. This comes as some 120 US military personnel in the Nevatim air base near the Negev desert are adding the finishing touches to an advanced X-band radar system, with a range of 1,250 miles that will gravely enhance Israel's tactical capacity in the air. The system is also believed to be capable of countering Iran's advanced Shahab-3 and the newly-tested Sejjil ballistic missiles. Earlier reports suggested that the system could also facilitate an Israeli air strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. The Haaretz daily, meanwhile, reported on Sunday that Israeli defense chiefs are calling for contingency plans to be drawn up for military action against the Islamic Republic. "Israel faces these threats almost alone ... It is imperative to mobilize the international community and obtain regional cooperation. The new American administration is an opportunity to do this," Haaretz quoted one of the military chiefs as saying. The report came as US President George W. Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert are to hold crucial White House talks in the wake of the latest UN nuclear watchdog report on Iran, which states that the agency 'has been able to continue to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material in Iran,' adding that there has been 'no indication' of Iran conducting nuclear reprocessing activities. The Guardian has confirmed that Olmert sought a green light to strike Iranian nuclear installations in a May 14 meeting with President George W. Bush. On July 13, The Sunday Times quoted a senior Pentagon official as saying that the Bush administration had given the 'amber light' to an Israeli plan to attack Iran by means of long-range bombing sorties. "Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready," said the official on condition of anonymity. On October 12, The Times reported that there is the likelihood of Israel bypassing US warnings and unilaterally striking Iranian nuclear facilities in the same manner Georgia attacked South Ossetia. "The experience of Georgia has given an amber, if not a green light to Israel (to attack Iran) and only Bush can switch that to red," The Times asserted. SBB/SME/MMN

Chavez allies sweep state elections

Chavez allies sweep state elections
Allies of Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, have won a majority in state elections for governors and mayors.With more than 95 per cent of votes counted, Venezuela's electoral agency said Chavez's allies have won 17 states in Sunday's vote.But the opposition has won two of the most populous states and the mayor's post in Caracas.They won in the two most populous states - Miranda and Zulia, as well as Nueva Esparta, Tibisay Lucena, president of the National Electoral Council, said.Turnout was 65.45 per cent of almost 17 million eligible voters, a record for local election in recent years.Chavez has threatened to cut off national funds to states that end up in the hands of opponents.The polls were as a test for him against an energised opposition.Chavez's allies swept the last state elections in 2004, winning all but two of 23 governorships and a majority of local offices. This time, candidates competed for 22 governorships, 330 mayoral posts and other offices.
Overwhelming control
Chavez remains the country's most popular politician and enjoys overwhelming control of local offices.His popularity has rebounded since he suffered his only electoral defeat in 2007 in a referendum that would have allowed him to seek re-election indefinitely.Pre-election polls showed Chavez's candidates leading in a majority of races [AFP] Still, he faced an opposition buoyed by last year's defeat of his attempt to abolish term limits and by growing discontent over crime, corruption and inflation that have blighted his socialist ambitions.Chavez said the elections could decide "the future of the revolution, the future of socialism and also the future of Hugo Chavez".He is keen to lay the groundwork to extend his rule beyond 2013, when his six-year term ends. But the setbacks in Miranda and Zulia could force him to contend with hostile opponents with revived national clout.Pre-election surveys had correctly shown Chavez's candidates as leading in a majority of races, and the opposition ahead or in tight races in several of Venezuela's most populous states.Power testTeresa Bo, Al Jazeera's correspondent in the capital, Caracas, said: "Everyone is wondering how strong the oppositon is.Chavez's older brother was in a tight race to succeed their father in their home state [AFP]"Chavez feels very popular and people continue to love him. His approval rating is around 60 per cent. The big question is not how many states he'll win, but how many he will lose."Chavez already has a congress filled with supporters and a supreme court that critics say is in his pocket as he tries to hold on to power in state houses and city halls.Candidates included Chavez's older brother Adan, who was in a tight race to succeed their father as governor of Barinas, Chavez's home state.Chavez's ex-wife Marisabel Rodriguez was also on the ballot - on the opposition side.Rodriguez, running for district mayor in her hometown, Barquisimeto, said her campaign may have been local but it was also "against the danger posed to democracy by leaving a single person in power for a long time".

------------------------------------

Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, has hailed the victory of his allies in local elections, praising the outcome as a sign of the strength of the country's democratic system."Who can say there's a dictatorship in Venezuela?" Chavez said on Monday."A new stage is beginning. For me, as the leader of the Venezuelan socialist project, the people are telling me: 'Chavez, keep on the same path,'" he said.However, the country's opposition won five states and Caracas, the capital, out of a total of 22 state polls, gaining ground on Chavez's Socialist Party. More than 65 per cent of 17 million eligible voters turned out to vote for governors, mayors and heads of regional councils in Sunday's polls.

Georgian ex-speaker calls for forming new government - παρελθόν ο Σαακασβίλι

παρελθον ο Σαακασβίλι - θέμα χρόνου η αντικατάσταση του από την Νino Burdzhanadze

TBILISI, November 23 (Itar-Tass) -- Former Georgian parliament speaker Nino Burdzhanadze has strongly criticized national authorities and called for elections. “The people of Georgia peacefully brought to office a new administration on November 23, 2003. The people hoped that the new authorities would restore territorial integrity of the country,” Burdzhanadze said at the founding congress of her party, Democratic Movement – United Georgia, in Tbilisi on Sunday. “However, the Georgian society is disappointed with the policy of national authorities. The country is in crisis; authorities not only failed to restore territorial integrity but also lost control over Upper Kodori, some territories of South Ossetia and the Akhalgori district as a result of the August events,” she said. “Georgian authorities failed to prevent a war with Russia. Georgia lost the war, in which hundreds of people died and tens of thousands became refugees,” Burdzhanadze said. “Any government that suffers military defeat and loses control over national territories must resign or people must reshuffle authorities through elections. The incumbent Georgian government has not stepped down, so we will insist on elections and aim at victory of new political forces.”

Χθες στη Γεωργία ήταν ένα σημαντικό γεγονός: με φόντο τη μέτρια εορτασμούς για την επέτειο της "Επανάστασης των Ρόδων", πρώην πρόεδρο του κοινοβουλίου Νίνο Burjanadze διοργάνωσε συνέδριο του νέου κόμματος της αντιπολίτευσης (την προσοχή των ρωσικά τηλεοπτικά κανάλια για την εκδήλωση αυτή, δείτε τον τίτλο "Πρόσβαση στην TV" στη σελίδα 4 ). Έτσι, η αντίστροφη μέτρηση για την άμεση αντιπαράθεση με τον πρόεδρο Mikhail Saakashvili έχει αρχίσει. " '" Νίνο Burjanadze, βρέθηκαν πιθανότητες να γίνει ο νέος πρόεδρος της Γεωργίας. Ο πόλεμος ως ήττα Αντίθετα με την παράδοση του Προέδρου Saakashvili να γιορτάσει την επέτειο των "ροζ επανάσταση» στο πεδίο, την κλίμακα εορταστικές εκδηλώσεις αυτή τη φορά στη Γεωργία δεν ήταν. Οι υπογραμμίσεις μετριοφροσύνη των δραστηριοτήτων της εξουσίας συνδέεται με τα τραγικά γεγονότα του Αυγούστου. Μια υπενθύμιση του πολέμου αόρατα παρών σε όλες τις ενέργειες του προέδρου, καθώς και εκπρόσωποι της δημιουργικής διανόησης, που πήραν μέρος σε δράσεις που οργανώνονται αρχές. Οι ηγέτες της Pro πρωί του Εθνικού Κινήματος που στεφάνια να τους τάφους των στρατιωτών που σκοτώθηκαν στη Νότια Οσετία, μια πολύ γνωστή καλλιτέχνες, με επικεφαλής τον τραγουδιστή Vakhtang Kikabidze επισκέφθηκε τις περιοχές όπου η επανεγκατάσταση των προσφύγων και τα δώρα που τους διανεμήθηκε. Πριν από Mikhail Saakashvili, ο οποίος μόλις επέστρεψε από το Κίεβο, η οποία συμμετείχε στις Εκδηλώσεις για τον λιμό έγινε από τις γεωργιανές τηλεοπτική εκπομπή μια διεύθυνση για το έθνος, λέγοντας ότι στο εξής την ημέρα στις 23 Νοεμβρίου θα είναι γνωστή ως η Ημέρα της αλληλεγγύης, διότι το γεωργιανού λαού στην αλληλεγγύη με τους πρόσφυγες από τη Νότια Οσετία Καθώς και οι οικογένειες που έχασαν κουβαλητή στις μάχες. Προφανώς, στην αλληλεγγύη με την κοινωνία, ο Πρόεδρος ανακοίνωσε το μεγαλύτερο αμνηστία για όλη την περίοδο της εξουσίας του: περίπου δύο χιλιάδες κρατούμενοι έχουν καταδικαστεί για εγκλήματα netyazhkie, πήγε χθες στην ελευθερία. Σε γενικές γραμμές, η αμνηστία, η οποία συνεπάγεται μείωση των ποινών, την κατάργηση του ποινικού μητρώου και δοκιμασίας, αναφέρθηκε δέκα χιλιάδων φυλακισμένων - ότι το ήμισυ του συνόλου των κρατουμένων στη Γεωργία εκτίουν ποινές ή είναι υπό διερεύνηση. Σε αυτή την άνευ προηγουμένου χειρονομία της αντιπολίτευσης προεδρικές αμέσως είδε πολιτικά κίνητρα. "Οι αρχές κατανοητό ότι οι οικογένειες και οι συγγενείς των κρατουμένων - είναι το πιο ενεργά συμμετέχουν σε όλες τις μαζικές διαμαρτυρίες στην Τιφλίδα, - είπε" ' "ανεξάρτητη πολιτική Moorman είναι τώρα Kuprashvili .- για Saakashvili πολύ σημαντικό να διευκολυνθεί η ένταση στην κοινωνία, και τώρα που έχει λάβει ο αυτό το στρώμα της κοινωνίας. " Δείχνοντας τη θέληση της κοινωνίας να κάνει παραχωρήσεις, ο πρόεδρος για μια ακόμη φορά καλείται να συμβάλει στην καταπολέμηση της ρητορικής. Είπε ότι "η επανάσταση συνεχίζεται, παρά το γεγονός ότι η Γεωργία ήταν επίθεση από το μεγαλύτερο στον κόσμο θύτη". Πρόεδρος της Γεωργίας, σε σύγκριση με το αγαπημένο τους ήρωα λαϊκή Amiranom (παρόμοια με την ελληνική Προμηθέας), αλυσοδεμένο στην οροσειρά του Καυκάσου. "Και την τελευταία στιγμή, όταν θα κυκλοφορήσει σχεδόν από τα δεσμά, priletal κουρούνα, και για μία ακόμη φορά οδηγεί τις αλυσίδες στον βράχο - παραφράζοντας Πρόεδρος εμπνευσμένη παραβολή .- Αλλά αυτή τη φορά, η κουρούνα πέταξε για τελευταία φορά! Αυτή είναι η τελευταία αυτοκρατορία του κακού potugi πρόληψη Γεωργία απελευθέρωσε από τα δεσμά . Υποθέσεις της αυτοκρατορίας πάει από το κακό στο χειρότερο. " Σύμφωνα με τον πρόεδρο, την περίπτωση της Γεωργίας είναι όλα καλύτερα, διότι ο γεωργιανός λαός "εμπνευσμένη" επανάσταση των ρόδων ». "" Επανάσταση των Ρόδων "μακριά με το χρέος να πληρώσει τις συντάξεις και τα προβλήματα με την ηλεκτρική ενέργεια, καθώς και να καταστρέψει τη χώρα της διαφθοράς - είπε ο πρόεδρος της Γεωργίας .- Και γι 'αυτό επιτέθηκαν! Δική μας επιτυχία και η Γεωργία έγινε ως έθνος, έχει καταστεί μείζον αιτία ρωσική επιθετικότητα. Αλλά θα συνεχίσουμε για την επίλυση των κοινωνικών προβλημάτων του πληθυσμού, τη δημιουργία θέσεων απασχόλησης και την εξάλειψη της φτώχειας. " Εν κατακλείδι, ο κ. Saakashvili κάλεσε τους ανθρώπους να "υπομονή και την ενότητα" γιατί "ρωσική επιθετικότητα επιδεινώθηκε και πολύπλοκες οι προοπτικές για την αποκατάσταση της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας της Γεωργίας και της οικονομίας έχει προκαλέσει" σοβαρή βλάβη ". Αυτό ήταν ίσως το μόνο πέρασμα για την αποκατάσταση της εδαφικής ακεραιότητας της προεδρικής ομιλίας.
