South Azerbaijani leader Qulamrza Amani killed by Persian regime

On October 23, 2008 Qulamrza Amani, one of the activists and leaders of South Azerbaijan National movement has been killed together with two of his brothers Sample Imagein traffic accident.
Witnesses say that two lorries which have squeezed Amani’s car belong to SEPAH (Islamic Revolution Guards Corpus). The murder has happened on the road Tebriz – Khoja (a city in 30 km to Northern-West of Tebriz). An engineer Amani was one of organizers and leaders of national movement events and had been several times jailed for his activity. He has been imprisoned in last 1999 year for 5 years of jail for his political and cultural activity and afterwards was also jailed for his organizing and activity in the protest actions held by Southern Azerbaijanis against Persian racist politics. There is information that approximately 10 days before his murder Amani had received letters and phone calls with threats.


       It should be noted that Iranian regime pursues systematic policy of suppressing Azerbaijanis who demand their natural rights to practice mother tongue since this right is indicated even in the Constitution of the named country. Azerbaijanis constitute 35 million of 70 million population of Iran. During last months Iran regime has imprisoned more than 20 activists of Southern Azerbaijan including writers, analysts, journalists, students, university teachers and others.

   Amani has been suffering tortures, psychological and material repressions. While being in the prison he has told Iranian regime’s official in response to his threatening him with death: “You do not allow us to live as we want, but you can not deprive us of dying in the way as we want, with our honor”. Iranian regime plotting against Southern Azerbaijanis inside and outside Iran annihilates activists with different ways. This savage regime has killed South Azerbaijan scientist Mohammadtagi Zehtabi in 1999 after his returning from Berlin showing his death as a result of heart failure, a way of execution employed by many special services worldwide. Now Qulamrza Amani has become another victim of this racist regime. More than 5 million Southern Azerbaijanis live in exile in different countries of the world.

      The national policy adopted by present Iran regime does not differ from the policies conducted by its predecessor racist Pahlavi regime. This regime denies national identity of all the non-Persian nations living there though they are pretending to be standard-bearer of Islamic world.

Day.Az has received a letter from a reader, which says that the biggest gas company Gazprom helps restore the gas supply to Nagorno Karabakh de-facto.

According to it, the link on the map is posted on the official website of ArmRosgazprom in the section GAS-TRANSPORTATION MAP of Armenia.

By following this link we can see a gas transportation map of Armenia, which fixes that ArmRosgazprom is engaged in ensuring gas supplies of Nagorno Karabakh.

It should be noted that the Armenian-Russian closed stock company ArmRosgazprom was created by the Energy Ministry of Armenia, Gazprom, ITERA International Energy L.L.C (ITERA) on the basis of an agreement of August 30 of 1997. The society was founded for the term of 50 years. The term of the activity can be prolonged by the mutual consent of the shareholders.

Gazprom has the biggest share in the founding capital of ArmRosgazprom. It owns 67.94% of the founding capital, Armenian government holds 26.23% and ITERA 5.83%.

In other words it can be stated that company ArmRosgazprom is in fact owned by Gazprom and Gazprom, violating all international norms, promotes the development of the gas sector of Nagorno Karabakh, considering that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Armenia.

Gazprom is notably the biggest gas company in the world. The government of Russia owns the control shares in Gazprom - 50.002%.

Another notable fact is that on July 3 of this year Russia and Azerbaijan agreed to initiate talks on provisions of the purchase of Azerbaijani gas by Russia.

"Azerbaijan will become another country to sell gas to Gazprom, while earlier it was Azerbaijan which bought gas from us", said Gazprom President Alexei Miller, adding that Gazprom is ready to cooperate with Azerbaijan.

How can we sell Azerbaijani gas to Russia, when the government of Russia provides de-facto assistance to the restoration of the gas supplies in Nagorno Karabakh? Who can guarantee that Azerbaijani gas will not go to Nagorno Karabakh via Armenia? How can we trust to this gas structure, which fully ignores the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan? Or, perhaps, Gazprom, in fact owning ArmRusgazprom, forgot that Nagorno Karabakh belongs to Azerbaijan?

In this sense, we call on the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, the Cabinet of Ministers, Azerigaz and certainly the Azerbaijani embassy to Russia, which demonstrates quick reaction to such issues, to interfere with this problem and give an adequate response to Gazprom for this issue is seriously bound to the strategic interests of our country.

The Times: “Muslim Magomaev was an event, from the moment he took to the stage”
 
 
The Times published an article about our compatriot Muslim Magomaev, Azerbaijan’s embassy in the Great Britain told APA.

The Times called Muslim Magomaev as the “Soviet Sinatra”. “Muslim Magomaev was a hugely popular Azerbaijani singer whose talents embraced traditional song, operatic arias and jazz standards and who rejoiced in being known as the “Soviet Sinatra”. Magomaev was born in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, into a family of talented Azeri performers. From an early age Magomaev displayed clear musical talent and studied music first at the school attached to the Baku Conservatoire, and later at the conservatoire itself, specializing in piano and composition. Those who remember his earliest performances in Moscow say that he was more than a singer; he was an event, from the moment he took to the stage. His winning of official approval so early in his career meant that he was able to travel and work abroad — at La Scala, Milan. After Milan he went to Paris to work at the Olympia Theatre”.
Then the authors are speaking about his creative work and his repertoire. “From 1975 to 1989 Magomaev was artistic director of the Azerbaijan State Symphony Orchestra, and continued to give public performances. He was as proud of his native Azerbaijan. His records sold more than four million copies, and he maintained his broad repertoire, including opera, love songs, jazz, and traditional Russian and popular songs. He also composed music for the theatre and film”.
