Ахмадинежад в Иране мало что решает. Его пост в иранской властной иерархии это что вроде всенародно избираемого символа Исламской Республики Иран. Все ключевые решения как по вопросам внутренней так и внешней политики принимает Хаменеи. Который между прочим наполовину этнический азери. Это я к тому что бакинские демагоги любят вонять как их иранских братьев притесняют "персидские фашисты". Армения важна для Ирана как клин рассекающий бир миллят™. Поэтому они дружили и будут дружить с армянами-христианами против шиитского азеристана. Анекдот конечно, но что есть то есть.

Конгрессмен Brad Sherman, eщё один (кошерный) друг армянского народа. Сфотаграфирован во время какого-то (кошерного) междусобойчика в Вашингтоне. Я так понимаю что у армян Калифорнии случился массовый вынос мозга потому как их интересы в обоих законадательных палатах страны представляют евреи. Таким образом евреи представляют свои местные трайбл интересы, интересы Израиля - а заодно и армянские интересы.

Вот и отшумел очередной управляемый цирк под названием амерские выборы. Лохи которые 2 года назад в ожидание обещанных перемен с энтузиазмом отдавали свои голоса за Барака Алибабаевича, на этот раз с таким же энтузиазмом отдали иx за его идеологических противников. При условие что экономика через 2 года так и останется в жопе, выборный маятник вновь махнет обратно и лохи снова - как и 4 года назад - будут голосовать на демократов. И так до бесконечности. Политической процесс по американски, называется. Симптоматично что какая бы из 2-х проституток маскирующихся под политическую партию не приходила в Америке к власти, Израиль всегда оказывается в выиграше. Что само по себе показатель того насколько все прогнило коррупцией и до какой степени реальный политический процесс отсутствует как таковой. П.С. Мне было любопытно сколько пройдет часов после окончания выборов прежде чем появится это письмо.

отседова Turkey not partner but owner of NATO, FM says October 30, 2010 Turkey is not a partner, but an owner of NATO, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said Saturday, adding that an agreement within the multi-national alliance is as important as an accord within the European Union. Speaking to a small group of journalists en route from Xi’an to Shanghai as part of his weeklong China trip, Davutoğlu related a story about how a foreign minister from an EU member state referred to Turkey as an “important partner” during a meeting involving European security and defense policy. “I took the floor after him in the same meeting and said that we are not a partner here, but an owner. We are an owner of NATO. We are not a partner,” the Turkish foreign minister said. “I told my colleague the hat that should be worn in this meeting should belong to NATO and if he wants to speak with his EU hat on, he should go to another street in Brussels,” Davutoğlu added. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner is believed to be the EU colleague to whom Davutoğlu was referring. “That was a pleasant discussion. My friend came later saying he had been misunderstood and we hugged,” the Turkish foreign minister added. Turkey is not a member state in the EU, but a candidate country that began formal accession talks in 2005. The country has, however, been a member of NATO since 1952. Most recently, Ankara has been the subject of discussions over a potential NATO missile-defense system originally proposed by the United States during the Bush administration. It is unclear whether Turkey will actively participate in the proposed system directed against Iran, which much of the international community considers a threat due to its controversial nuclear program. In discussing the plans, Davutoğlu first said calling the proposed system a “missile shield” was incorrect both technically and politically. “Missile shield, missile wars, where will Turkey be in this war? The discussions within NATO are not about this at all,” he said. Davutoğlu added that the focus at the recent Brussels meeting of NATO foreign and defense ministers was more about NATO-EU cooperation, which he said did not have ramifications in Turkey. Turkey not alone, but at the center of NATO Davutoğlu then clarified the basic three principles in Ankara’s policy toward the NATO missile-defense system. “First of all, Turkey is not a country that has to be convinced by NATO. Turkey is not alone; Turkey is at the center of NATO,” he said. The foreign minister then gave another example from a different international meeting where Turkey’s role in NATO was being questioned. “I gave a similar reaction in this debate too. If one [official from a member state] asks if the alliance is losing Turkey, this is an insult to Turkey... Every matter is discussed in NATO together. Turkey’s position should be taken into consideration here,” he said. “NATO regularly reviews its security defense concept as a whole and takes necessary measures as a security organization. It is out of the question for Turkey to oppose these measures.” While explaining the country’s second principle, the foreign minister said NATO should take into account the principle of “indivisible security,” meaning that the alliance should preserve each and every member state’s security. “An understanding of exclusion of certain regions of Turkey [from the proposed defense system] cannot be accepted. Turkey should entirely be protected,” he said. “The essence of the focus is the security of member states and only the security of member states.” ‘Turkey will not be a frontier’ In explaining the third principle, Davutoğlu said Turkey does perceive any threat in its neighborhood and does not plan to be a frontier country as it was during the Cold War era. “Turkey is not in a position to be a frontier country. NATO, while doing threat planning on this issue, should cover all member states and should remain outside any formula that would geographically set one country against another,” he said. The United States has often portrayed the missile-defense system as a safeguard against a possible ballistic strike from Iran. Ankara is concerned that such a perception could damage its growing relationship with its neighbor and has said it does not want the system to specifically identify any neighboring country, whether it be Iran or Syria. “It is true that Turkey does not consider it appropriate to refer to neighboring countries in this [missile-defense] system... we want stability, prosperity and peace in our neighborhood,” Davutoğlu said. ‘We are not afraid of loneliness’ Asked if Turkey had reached a compromise with Washington on the plan, the foreign minister said it was in the works. “If we defend one true thing, we never become afraid of remaining alone... It is natural for NATO to develop a defense system and Turkey will take part in this. It is not possible for anyone to oppose this,” he said. Commenting on cooperation between NATO and the EU, Davutoğlu said, “An accord within NATO is as important as an accord within the EU.” He added that Turkey should be involved in the decision-making mechanisms related to EU security studies. The decades-old Cyprus impasse is a sticking point in NATO-EU cooperation. Turkey objects to Greek Cyprus, an EU member state, sitting in on EU-NATO meetings because it is not a member of NATO’s partnership-for-peace program. Such issues were discussed in detail when NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited Ankara recently. “The EU has not signed a security agreement with Turkey. Turkey’s accession to the European Defense Agency has not been approved. Turkey is not actively involved in the European security and defense policies and Turkey is the only country in this position compared to other non-EU, but NATO member states,” said Davutoğlu. The foreign minister made clear that considering the abnormality, it would not be correct to expect Turkey to approve Greek Cyprus’ involvement in NATO decision-making mechanisms. “Our attitude is based on principles and well understood by all parties concerned,” Davutoğlu said. Genocide resolution not used as leverage Asked about whether Washington was using the threat of a resolution acknowledging the alleged Armenian genocide as leverage against Ankara during negotiations on the NATO missile-defense plan, Davutoğlu said it was out of question. “It is out of the question for any friendly country and ally to use an issue as leverage against us… This does not bode well with an alliance understanding,” he said. “We have constructive dialogue with the U.S. administration.”

отседова Turkey's relationship with west on the line in European missile defence negotiations Turkey's government has been told that its relationship with the West could be seriously damaged if it rejects Nato's request to house part of a £165 million ballistic missile-defence shield that is being built to protect Europe from nuclear attack. 29 Oct 2010 Hillary Clinton, the US secretary of state and Robert Gates, the US secretary of defence, have held out the warning in behind-the-scenes talks with Turkish officials ahead of a Nato summit to be held in Lisbon on November 19, where a final decision is expected to be made on the missile-defence plan. "Essentially we've told Turkey that missile-defence is an acid test of its commitment to the collective security arrangements it has with its western allies," a senior US official told The Daily Telegraph. Nato's missile-defence programme is designed to protect Europe's population from nuclear-armed missiles the West fears Iran may acquire in coming years. The plans involve radar stations that can detect ballistic missile launches, and advanced interceptor missiles which can shoot them down. Turkey is critical to the project, since its geographical location means radar sited on its soil will be able to detect Iranian ballistic missile launches early. The November 19 deadline has left Recep Erdrogan, Turkey's Prime Minister, torn between his Islamist supporters and his country's western allies. Mr Erdrogan has made improving his country's relationship with Iran a central foreign policy. Turkey voted against a slew of new sanctions imposed by the United Nations on Iran this summer in an effort to slow down its nuclear programme. "Sacrificing the Iranian friendship to Nato would mean an end to the independent foreign policy Turkey has followed in recent years, and the respect that that has earned it in the Islamic world, " ", Hakan Albayrak, an influential pro-government commentator, said. Turkey has long sought EU membership a demanded supported by the UK, but resisted by Germany and France. Islamists in Turkey, angered by the rebuff, have been arguing their country's interests will be best served through new alliances with its eastern neighbours. In this case, though, US diplomats believe western pressure is working. Turkey's military has already mapped locations for specialised radar which would detect ballistic missile launches in Iran. It is also considering acquiring the US-built Patriot PAC3 interceptor missile. Even if Turkey does join the missile-defence shield, though, some experts question if it will actually make Europe safe. Theodore Postel and George Lewis, among the world's top authorities on missile defence, have warned that apparently-successful tests of interceptor missiles were conducted "in carefully orchestrated scenarios that have been designed to hide fundamental flaws". In September, 2009, Barack Obama, the US President, had authorised a £3.15 billion plan provide missile-defence shields for troops deployed in war-zones. The decision reversed earlier plans to develop larger shields to defend the populations of entire territories. But early this year, an official US review concluded the technology meant to protect deployed troops was good enough to protect territories as well. Yousaf Butt, a nuclear expert at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, has said this plan rests on unsound foundations. Dr. Butt argued that if Iran was "irrational and suicidal enough to discount the threat of massive nuclear retaliation then a missile defence system that can theoretically intercept only some of the attacking missiles most certainly isn't going to be a deterrent".

отседова QE2 risks currency wars and the end of dollar hegemony As the US Federal Reserve meets today to decide whether its next blast of quantitative easing should be $1 trillion or a more cautious $500bn, it does so knowing that China and the emerging world view the policy as an attempt to drive down the dollar. 01 Nov 2010 The Fed's "QE2" risks accelerating the demise of the dollar-based currency system, perhaps leading to an unstable tripod with the euro and yuan, or a hybrid gold standard, or a multi-metal "bancor" along lines proposed by John Maynard Keynes in the 1940s. China's commerce ministry fired an irate broadside against Washington on Monday. "The continued and drastic US dollar depreciation recently has led countries including Japan, South Korea, and Thailand to intervene in the currency market, intensifying a 'currency war'. In the mid-term, the US dollar will continue to weaken and gaming between major currencies will escalate," it said. David Bloom, currency chief at HSBC, said the root problem is lack of underlying demand in the global economy, leaving Western economies trapped near stalling speed. "There are no policy levers left. Countries are having to tighten fiscal policy, and interest rates are already near zero. The last resort is a weaker currency, so everybody is trying to do it," he said. Pious words from G20 summit of finance ministers last month calling for the world to "refrain" from pursuing trade advantage through devaluation seem most honoured in the breach. Taiwan intervened on Monday to cap the rise of its currency, while Korea's central bank chief said his country is eyeing capital controls as part of its "toolkit" to stem the flood of Fed-created money leaking out of the US and sloshing into Asia. Brazil has just imposed a 2pc tax on inflows into both bonds and equities – understandably, since the real has risen by 35pc against the dollar this year and the country has a current account deficit. "It is becoming harder to mop up the liquidity flowing into these countries," said Neil Mellor, of the Bank of New York Mellon. "We fully expect more central banks to impose capital controls over the next couple of months. That is the world we live in," he said. Globalisation is unravelling before our eyes. Each case is different. For the 40-odd countries pegged to the dollar or closely linked by a "dirty float", the Fed's lax policy is causing havoc. They are importing a monetary policy that is far too loose for the needs of fast-growing economies. What was intended to be an anchor of stability has become a danger. Hong Kong's dollar peg, dating back to the 1960s, makes it almost impossible to check a wild credit boom. House prices have risen 50pc since January 2009, despite draconian curbs on mortgages. Barclays Capital said Hong Kong may switch to a yuan peg within two years. Mr Bloom said these countries are under mounting pressure to break free from the dollar. "They are all asking themselves whether these pegs are a relic of the past," he said. China faces a variant of the problem with its mixed currency basket, a sort of "crawling peg". Commerce minister Chen Deming said last week that US dollar issuance is "out of control". It is causing a surge of imported inflation in China. Critics in the US Congress say China could solve that particular problem very quickly by letting the yuan rise enough to bring the country's $180bn trade surplus into balance. They say the strategy of holding down the yuan to underpin China's export-led model is the real source of galloping wage and price inflation on China's eastern seaboard. The central bank has accumulated $2.5 trillion of foreign bonds but lacks the sophisticated instruments to "sterilise" these purchases and stem inflationary "blow-back". But whatever the rights and wrongs of the argument, the reality is that a chorus of Chinese officials and advisers is demanding that China switch reserves into gold or forms of oil. As this anti-dollar revolt gathers momentum worldwide, the US risks losing its "exorbitant privilege" of currency hegemony – to use the term of Charles de Gaulle. The innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire of Fed policy are poor countries such as India, where primary goods make up 60pc of the price index and food inflation is now running at 14pc. It is hard to gauge the impact of a falling dollar on commodities, but the pattern in mid-2008 was that it led to oil, metal, and grain price rises with multiple leverage. The core victims were the poorest food-importing countries in Africa and South Asia. Tell them that QE2 brings good news. So the question that Ben Bernanke and his colleagues should ask themselves is whether they have thought through the global ramifications of their actions, and how the strategic consequences might rebound against America itself.

отседова Fed Easing May Mean 20% Dollar Drop: Bill Gross Monday, 1 Nov 2010 The dollar is in danger of losing 20 percent of its value over the next few years if the Federal Reserve continues unconventional monetary easing, Bill Gross, the manager of the world's largest mutual fund, said on Monday. "I think a 20 percent decline in the dollar is possible," Gross said, adding the pace of the currency's decline was also an important consideration for investors. "When a central bank prints trillions of dollars of checks, which is not necessarily what (a second round of quantitative easing) will do in terms of the amount, but if it gets into that territory—that is a debasement of the dollar in terms of the supply of dollars on a global basis," Gross told Reuters in an interview at his PIMCO headquarters. The Fed will probably begin a new round of monetary easing this week by announcing a plan to buy at least $500 billion of long-term securities, what investors and traders refer to as QE II, according to a Reuters poll of primary dealers. "QEII not only produces more dollars but it also lowers the yield that investors earn on them and makes foreigners, which is the key link to the currencies, it makes foreigners less willing to hold dollars in current form or at current prices," Gross added. To a certain extent, that is what the Treasury Department and Fed "in combination" want, said Gross, who runs the $252 billion Total Return Fund and oversees more than $1.1 trillion as co-chief investment officer. "The fundamental problem here is that our labor and developed economy labor relative to developing economy labor is so mismatched—China can do it so much more cheaply," he said. Many Americans believe that the Chinese government is manipulating its currency and in effect stealing away American jobs and throwing the U.S. in an ever-deepening trade deficit. But Gross said this is a byproduct of a globalized economy. "It is a globalized economy of our own doing for the past 20-30 years. We encouraged all of this, but it is coming back to haunt us. To the extent that Chinese labor, Vietnamese labor, Brazilian labor, Mexican labor, wherever it is coming from that labor is outcompeting us and holding down our economy," he said. Gross added: "One of the ways to get even, so to speak, or to get the balance, is to debase your currency faster than anybody else can. It's a shock because the dollar is the reserve currency. But to the extent that that is a necessary condition for rebalancing the global economy over time, then that is where we are headed." "Other countries and citizens are willing to work for less and willing to work harder—and we forgot the magic formula somewhere along the way," Gross said. In that regard, Americans should be investing a lot more overseas than they are to find growth as the U.S. remains in a slowish-growth environment, he said. "Pension funds and Americans, in general, have a problem because their liabilities are dollar-denominated. It's probably worth the risk of getting out of dollars and getting into emerging countries and going where the growth is. All of which entails risk relative to the home country. But there's probably a bigger risk in simply staying comfortably within the confines of dollar-based investments."

Tuesday, May 4, 2010 ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News Ankara has neither confirmed nor denied claims that Turkey’s intelligence agency prevented an Azerbaijani military operation in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region immediately before Turkey and Armenia signed historic protocols last year. The National Intelligence Organization, or MİT, has also not released any statement concerning the allegations, which were first published in one of Azerbaijan’s most influential opposition newspapers, Yeni Müsavat. The Azerbaijani report appeared on the front page of daily Hürriyet on Tuesday with a headline that said MİT had thwarted a Karabakh war. The Turkish government did, however, voice support for dialogue between the South Caucasus rivals. “We are in favor of the resolution of problems through dialogue,” Foreign Ministry sources told the Hürriyet Daily News & Economic Review on Tuesday. Azerbaijani reports “By averting the Azerbaijani operation, Turkey prevented the normalization process with Armenia from being undermined and its own dignity from being harmed. The essence and the secret of the relationship taking shape between Turkey and Azerbaijan depends on this matter,” the Azerbaijani newspaper wrote. “Had Azerbaijan begun a military operation during that period, the Armenian initiative of the [ruling Justice and Development Party] AKP would have entirely collapsed,” Yeni Müsavat added. According to the paper, the alleged military operation took place about one year before Turkey and Armenia signed deals in October 2009 in Zurich, Switzerland, to establish diplomatic relations. The Azerbaijani newspaper also claimed that options for military operations were reviewed. “The reception of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic’s Parliament Speaker Vasif Talibov at the highest level in Turkey could be a part of Ankara’s plan to stop Azerbaijan,” it said. Turkish diplomatic sources said the high-level welcome of the Nakhchivan official was only natural because Turkey is a guarantor country in Nakhchivan under the Kars Agreement. Turkish experts express doubt Dr. Burcu Gültekin Punsmann, a senior foreign-policy analyst at the Turkish think tank TEPAV, also declined to comment on the veracity of the facts. “I would, however, doubt that [Azerbaijani] President [İlham] Aliyev could have seriously considered undertaking such a hazardous action,” she said. “I can’t try to assess a military outcome of a new Azerbaijani-Armenian war over Nagorno-Karabakh; the worst thing in such a situation is always to underestimate the enemy.” “What I know is that this war would be disastrous for the whole region,” she added, referring to the five-day August 2008 war between Russia and Georgia over South Ossetia that highlighted the disruptive potential of renewed conflict anywhere in the South Caucasus. “Beyond a doubt, Azerbaijan is the country that has benefited the most from the return of stability to the South Caucasus region in the second half of the 1990s,” Punsmann said. “With the resumption of war, energy investment projects will stop overnight. There will be no winner of this war.”
