Criminal indifference of B. Obama
Petitions of the administration of the president of the USA Barak Obama about recognizing military crimes in Khojali, also related with Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict were settled at web-site of White House in the end of January of the present year.
During a month American Azerbaijanis and Azerbaijanis from all over the world, showing solidarity and unity, took active part in collection of the needed quantity of signs for the petitions at the web-site of White House. More than 126 thousand people signed the petitions related with Khojali genocide, and the signs passed 105 thousand related with the fact of occupation of one fifth of Azerbaijani territories by armed forces of Armenia.
It is clear that behind these signs there were so many concrete persons and each of them including the author of this article, waited impatiently that according to rules defined by White House, the administration of the president B. Obama had to show respect to requirements of such huge number of people and make special statements to the nation. But, unfortunately, our expectations weren’t realized. Yes, White House answered to the petitions, but… We will talk about this moment below, but now we ask you to pay attention to the essence of the answer. So, it was noted at the answer of White House: “United States is deeply regretted of the tragic massacre of people during the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. It remembers us again that there can’t be any military solution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and only the peaceful regulation can provide stability, flourishing in the region. As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, the United States continues cooperating closely with all sides for achievement of peace”. At the same time it was noted at the answer of White House that there wouldn’t be a separate presidential proclamation over the problem. Let us express our indignation about why the American administration answered to two petitions at the same time with such worthless text. Yes, B. Obama didn’t consider necessary to make statement over the underlined problem, in other words, neglected to the appeals of more than two hundred thousand people, that, being the president of the leading country of the world (at the same time the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group being “busy” for negotiation process over regulation of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict), showed indifference to such important problem. This indifference of Obama is estimated as careless attitude of the whole administration of the USA to the problem. It stays clear that the leadership of this country has the same indifferent attitude to the whole Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict being a bomb of delayed activity mortgaged under the whole region.
Why everybody except of the USA’s president yearly makes statements related with anniversary of the concocted Armenian genocide happened hundred years ago, but prefers staying calm when it is about the factual genocide of Azerbaijanis committed only two decades ago? Why such terrible tragedy didn’t touch the emotions of White House and Mr. Obama as even the word “Khojali” wasn’t used at the answer, the tragic events in this city weren’t remembered, the fact of occupation of territories of Azerbaijan by Armenia wasn’t underlined? Why the necessity of solution of Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict within the confines of territorial integrity of Azerbaijan wasn’t underlined as the USA always “supported” the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in its official positions?
What result can we make from all happened around the above-mentioned petitions? Firstly, Obama is indifferent to facts of violence against innocent people that is equal to crime. We can note the moment that White House, introducing one ticky-tacky answer to two different petitions signed by more than two hundred thousand people, made us understand that, firstly, it looks over human rights only in political, but not humanitarian plane, secondly, it continues supporting its double-standard attitude to Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. Can you believe in this adherent mediator after all happened?

Criminal S.Sargsyan
– on a chair of the president of Armenia for the second term
In Armenia the procedure called by “presidential elections”, and far from requirements both the elective legislation of this country, and the relevant international documents came to the end. In any case, both Armenia, and its “little brother” already put a tick before this point of the plan of political actions.
According to Central Election Commission of Armenia of published results of “elections” of the head of state held on February 18 of this year, 58,64% of voters (861 373 voices) supported the candidacy of the acting head of the republic, the chairman of ruling Republican Party Serge Sargsyan. His main rival on elections – the Californian on a field, the ex-head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the chairman of opposition party “Heritage” Raffi Ovannisyan collected 36,74% of votes (539 693). The former prime minister, the leader of opposition party “Freedom” Grant Bagratyan received 2,15% of votes (31 643), the leader of the party Association “National Self-determination” Paruyr Ayrikyan – 1,23% (18 096), the ex-head of the “Ministry of Foreign Affairs” of Nagorno-Karabakh Armand Melikyan – 0,24%, political scientist Andrias Ghukasyan – 0.57% (8 329), the specialist in the epos Vardan Sedrakyan – 0,42% (6 210).
That so-called presidential election in Armenia became simply the parody to elections, to them wasn’t anything similar to democracy and transparency, in spite of the fact that the international observers, including observers from OSCE, mission of the CIS, Parliamentary Assembly of OSCE, Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of the CIS, the International Expert Center of Electoral Systems (ICES) and the International Fund of Electoral Systems (IFES), already world renowned. From participation on elections of real rivals and creation of a condition of actually uncontested elections, attempt at candidate for president P. Ayrikyan, the uncountable facts of falsifications, bribery of voters, etc., etc. – all this tells achievement by S. Sargsyan by various ways of discharge about fictitiousness of present presidential election in Armenia. Similar facts abound.
But for confirmation of fictitiousness of this presidential election only following circumstance is enough. According to the state register, allegedly the number of the registered voters in Armenia makes 2 million 505 thousand 908 people, 60,18%, or 1,521 million from which as if took part on present presidential election. It is known that usually the number of voters corresponds 50-54% of total number of the population. It turns out that population of Armenia makes over the 5 million people. Somebody can believe such absurdity?!
In the Armenia the most part of the population is dissatisfied with the results of these “elections” and, since post-elective day, in the capital and certain settlements of the country pass continuous protest actions where the main requirement is cancellation of its falsified results.
But, as they say, the train had already left. S. Sargsyan, the criminal which hands are stained with the blood of thousands of innocent Azerbaijanis and Armenians – protestants after presidential election of 2008, again, for the second term sat down on a chair of the president of Armenia. And it is clear that he won this right not personally, and with the support of the USA, France. Russia. By the way, many analysts and say that not the Armenian people elected Sargsyan as president and he was appointed by the Kremlin. So it is not overthrow…
