    ARMENIAN CITIZEN ARRESTED IN LIMASSOL FOR BRUTAL RAPE AND MURDER

    * girl's bruised naked body found on her bed in a pool of blood
    * suspects apprehended had scratches on their bodies and streaks of blood of
    the victim

    By Katya Diogenous - Cyprus Mail - July 13

    TWO men have been arrested on suspicion of murdering Lyudmila Zipir, 34 from
    Ukraine, who was found dead in her apartment in Limassol on Sunday.Zipir was
    found by police after her employer called concerned at her failure to turn up
    for work on Saturday and Sunday.

    Police yesterday arrested Armen Grigorian, 25 from Armenia, and Dionysis
    Tokalides, 26 from Georgia, who lived next door to Zipir. They were taken to court
    yesterday and given an eight-day remand.

    Zipir's employer told police the victim had repeatedly complained that the
    two men used to harass her with sexual innuendoes. He had even visited the men
    on several occasions to ask them to leave her alone.

    When police arrested the two suspects, they appeared to have scratches on
    their bodies as well as streaks of blood, believed to belong to the victim.Blood
    was also found in the apartment building.

    Police noticed there had been no forced entry into the apartment via the
    front door, but that the balcony door connecting the victim's apartment with that
    of the suspects was closed but not locked.

    The suspects deny any involvement in the murder, but cannot give a clear
    story or confirm where they were at the time of the murder.

    Zipir had lived in Cyprus for three years and worked in a bar in Limassol.
    Pathologist Panicos Stavrianos, said the girl's bruised naked body was found on
    her bed in a pool of blood. He confirmed her death was criminal.

    In a separate incident a Turkish Cypriot teenager was stabbed to death by a
    Greek Cypriot after a scuffle on the Limassol docks.

    Turkish Cypriot newspapers in the occupied north rushed to characterise the
    incident as "Barbaric". Seven of the nine dailies carried the news on their
    front page. Cyprus police characterised the killer as a man with deep
    psychological problems eyed by the police in the past and believed to have committed the
    crime under the influence of heavy drugs.



    AZERBAIJANI POLITICAL ANALYST CONSIDERS IT NECESSARY TO PREPARE FOR WAR
    AGAINST ARMENIA

    "Armenia has no intention to return anything to us.
    We must achieve justice by ourselves"

    Parallels with Cyprus drawn


    YEREVAN, 12.07.04. (Arminfo) Americans like West Europeans are absolutely
    unaware of the Karabakh conflict, Ex-State Adviser, analyst Vafa Guluzade said in
    his interview to the Zerkalo newspaper.

    He said that the USA thinks that Azerbaijan can easily leave these
    territories to Armenia and that we must do it. The USA must understand thatAzerbaijan
    will never agree with unjust settlement-scheme, even if it satisfies the
    interests of the White House in oil, the analyst added. He said that such an attempt
    will destabilize the situation in the whole region and endanger America's
    interests.

    Speaking of the "Cyprus settlement scheme," the analyst said that its
    application to the Karabakh conflict "would mean inclusion of Karabakh and Lachin
    into Armenia's territory and return of the Azerbaijani "minority," which has
    become such due to the Soviet authorities, to Nagorny Karabakh. That is, he
    explained, Azerbaijanis will receive an autonomy as part of Karabakh and will be
    included into Armenia. "There is no other understanding of the Cyprus
    settlement-scheme," he said. Guluzade pointed out that only liberation of the occupied
    territories and return of Karabakh under sovereignty of Azerbaijan is possible.

    Guluzade said that Azerbaijan must either restore its sovereignty or it will
    loose Karabakh and Lachin forever for liberation of the six regions.

    He pointed out that "if a country part of whose territory is occupied does
    not prepare for war, it is a criminal country." Azerbaijan must prepare forwar
    even more than the country which occupies its territories, he said, adding
    that he means Russia and not Armenia. "Armenia has no intention to return
    anything to us. We must increase the public awareness of this idea, in order that
    everyone understands that we must achieve justice by ourselves," the analyst
    said.





    CYPRUS FM HOLDS MEETINGS REGARDING EU COMMISSION'S 260 MIL. EURO AID TO
    TURKISH CYPRIOTS
    by Nicos Bellos

    Brussels, Jul 12 (CNA) - Cypriot Foreign Minister George Iacovou held here a
    series of bilateral meetings with seven European counterparts, among them,
    British Minister for Europe Denis MacShane, within the framework of the EU
    General Affairs Council meeting.

    Iacovou discussed among other issues, the European Commission's package of
    measures that include financial assistance of nearly 260 million euros to the
    Turkish Cypriots, a regulation governing direct trade between Brussels and the
    Turkish occupied part of Cyprus and rules on inter-island trade.




    ARMENIA AT THE ATHENS OLYMPICS WITH 16 ATHLETES

    Armenian tennis-player Sarkis Sarkisian has become the 16-th Armenian
    qualifying for Olympic Games in Athens this summer. David Nalbandian from Argentina
    and Magdalena Maleyeva-Berberian from Bulgaria, have also qualified for Athens
    Games.




    ACE IN THE HANDS OF ARMENIA

    www.azg.am 14 July 2004-Touching upon the statement made of RA Foreign
    Minister Vartan Oskanian made in the U.S. recently, saying that Armenia canuse its
    right of "veto" and prevent Turkey's becoming a PACE presiding country in
    2007, Haruth Sasunian, publisher of "Californian Courier" writes that "During the
    conversation with the journalists RA Foreign Minister exploded a bomb, stating
    for the first time that Armenia will use its right for veto, as Turkey is not
    on the relevant level, height."

    "Turkey is the only candidate for that year. The presiding country has
    certain privileges and rights that can be used against Armenia. Taking intoaccount
    the policy conducted by them (the Turks) in the region in the course of the
    past 12 years, that was too misbalanced and its support to Azerbaijan, Armenia
    merely can't stand Turkey as a presiding country for a year even if it wished,
    " Vartan Oskanian said.

    "It is a courageous decision and I think it's a right one. Such decisions
    can' t please the American authorities, that will try to exert pressure and
    demand to reconsider the decision, as well as, we should evade contradicting the
    U.S., but I think, that notwithstanding all this, Armenia should make decisions
    taking into consideration its own national interests and not the interest of a
    foreign country (the U.S., Russia, France, China and Turkey)," Sasunian said.

    The American -Armenian community should show resistance to the members of
    Bush ' administration that will try to exert pressure on Armenia. Particularly,
    in this year of elections, we should use all our force as an electors to resist
    the people that will demand from us
    to make favour to Turkey. We should undertake a firm position in this issue.
    We hope that the Armenian authorities will not repeat the
    mistake committed in 1999.

    If the U. S. and Turkey really want the latter become a presiding country at
    PACE, they should stop the blockade of Armenia or recognize the Genocide of
    the Armenians. This is one of the rare cases, when the ace is in the hands of
    Armenia. And Armenia should use it in the best way.


    PYUNIK HAVE ONE FOOT IN THE SECOND ROUND AFTER 3-1 AWAY VICTORY IN F.Y.R.O.M.
    (www.uefa.com) Armenian Football champions FC Pyunik have one foot in the
    second qualifying round after a convincing 3-1 victory in Skopje on Tuesdaynight
    against FK Pobeda of F.Y.R Macedonia.

    Edgar Manucharyan was the hero for the visiting side, scoring twice and
    making his side's other goal for Zhora Hovhannisyan. All of this came in the first
    half but the last action of note in the opening 45 minutes was the dismissal
    of Pyunik's Sargis Hovsepyan. Pobeda were able to pull one back in the second
    half but their chances of progression after the return in Yerevan a week on
    Wednesday look slim.
