    Middle East Armenians (General) > Newsletter of the Armenian National Committee - Middle East chapter

    Azad Hye, United Arab Emirates
    March 29 2006

    Azad-Hye, Dubai, 29 March 2006: After starting a website earlier this
    year, the Middle East chapter of the Armenian National Committee
    started to circulate a newsletter in Arabic language.

    The first issue of the newsletter, dated 21 March 2006, has already
    reached the mailbox of thousands of individuals in Arabic countries.

    It aims at updating Arabic language speakers about the developments
    related to Armenia and the Armenians, especially the course of the
    Genocide recognition worldwide. The publication is important also for
    certain number of Armenians living in the Middle East, who use Arabic
    as mode of communication.

    The Arab public who has witnessed the arrival of the Armenians into
    the Middle East and has shared with them decades of political, social
    and economic experience, needs to know more about this group of
    people, who are struggling for full acknowledgment of their plight.

    The Arabs, who are in majority Muslims, have welcomed the Armenian
    refugees during WWI. This is an important indication that the
    Genocide against the Armenians did not have religious motivation.

    The first issue of the newsletter has 4 pages, half of which is
    devoted to the unfortunate news of the destruction of the Julfa
    Armenian historical cemetery in Nakhichevan (Azerbaijan).

    Other subjects in the newsletter:

    - Turks organize anti-Armenian demonstrations in Paris

    - Turkey has only two years ahead to comply with the political
    criteria of the European Union.

    - Request for equal US military aid to Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    - The Committee for Defending the Armenian Cause meets the Ambassador
    of the United Arab Emirates in Lebanon

    Below is the complete text of this last piece of news related to the
    UAE:

    "Beirut: 17/3/2006 - A delegation of the Committee for Defending the
    Armenian Cause meets the Ambassador of UAE in Lebanon His Excellency
    Mohammad Sultan Seif Sweidi.

    During the meeting the anti-Armenian policy of Azerbaijan was
    exposed, a policy that reached to an extreme point through the
    destruction of the Armenian archaeological and cultural monuments
    in Julfa (Nakhichevan). The Karabag problem was another topic of
    discussion. The delegation pointed to the anti-Armenian policy of
    both Azerbaijan and Turkey regarding this issue, which is manifested
    through the rejection of any peaceful solution in the area, which
    gives the Armenians the right for self-determination.

    The UAE Ambassador promised to follow up this issue with
    his government. He referred to the friendly Armenian - Emirati
    relations and the policy of openness adopted by his country, without
    discrimination towards nations and religions.

    The Committee had paid similar visits in the past to the Ambassadors
    of the United Kingdom, Russia, Italy, the European Union, Netherlands,
    Vatican and Egypt."
