CHINA berjaya menguji NUKLEAR mampu peluru berpandu hipersonik - sumber PENTAGON . . .


© Wikipedia

JamaliahYusofYacob China berjaya melaksanakan ujian penerbangan kelajuan tinggi muslihat kepala peledak ‘state-of-the-art’ minggu lalu, sumber-sumber dalam Pentagon berkata. percubaan itu berlaku hanya beberapa hari selepas glider hipersonik dilaporkan diuji oleh Rusia.

DF-ZF kenderaan meluncur hipersonik adalah pelancaran pada hari Jumaat oleh peluru berpandu balistik yang dilancarkan dari tapak Wuzhai di tengah China, pegawai-pegawai tentera yang tidak dinamakan Amerika Syarikat kepada laman web ‘Washington Free Beacon website’.

Muslihat glider telah dikesan oleh satelit Amerika kerana ia bergerak pada kelajuan beberapa ribu kilometer sejam sepanjang pinggir suasana ke arah kawasan kesan di barat negara ini, kata sumber.

Ia adalah percubaan udara kenderaan meluncur Cina yang ke-7, dengan 6 ujian sebelumnya yang dijalankan pada tahun 2014 dan 2015 juga telah berjaya.

China successfully tests nuclear-capable hypersonic missile - Pentagon sources

China successfully carried out a flight test of its state-of-the-art high-speed maneuvering warhead last week, sources in the Pentagon said. The trial took place just days after a hypersonic glider was reportedly tested by Russia.

The DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle was launch on Friday by a ballistic missile fired from the Wuzhai site in central China, unnamed US military officials told the Washington Free Beacon website.

The maneuvering glider was tracked by American satellites as it was traveling at the speed of several thousand kilometers per hour along the edge of the atmosphere towards an impact area in the west of the country, the sources said.

It was the seventh air trial of the Chinese glide vehicle, with six previous tests conducted in 2014 and 2015 also having been successful.

Menurut ‘Washington Free Beacon’, kebimbangan perisikan Amerika Syarikat bahawa Beijing boleh menggunakan DF-ZF (dahulunya diberi nama kod WU-14 oleh Pentagon), mampu mencapai kelajuan lebih 11,000 kilometer sejam, untuk menghantar senjata nuklear memintas peluru berpandu sistem pertahanan yang paling kompleks.

Buaian juga boleh menjadi sebahagian daripada senjata serangan strategik konvensional yang membolehkan China untuk memukul sasaran mana-mana sahaja di DUNIA dalam masa hanya satu jam.

Kenderaan Glide terangkat ke atmosfera atas tinggi oleh peluru berpandu balistik dan kemudian meluncur pada kelajuan 5 kali lebih cepat daripada kelajuan bunyi.

Jurucakap Pentagon, Komander. Rang Undang-Undang Bandar, enggan mengulas mengenai ujian segar peledak muslihat China, tetapi menegaskan bahawa tentera Amerika Syarikat "yang berhati-hati memantau pemodenan tentera China."

Pengerusi Dewan Angkatan Bersenjata Jawatankuasa Kecil Seapower, Randy Forbes, memberitahu Washington Percuma Beacon bahawa dia bimbang dengan ujian Cina.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, US intelligence fears that Beijing may use DF-ZF (formerly codenamed WU-14 by the Pentagon), capable of reaching speeds of over 11,000 kilometers per hour, to deliver nuclear weapons bypassing even the most complex of missile defense systems.

The glider could also become a part of a conventional strategic strike weapon that would enable China to hit targets anywhere in the world within just an hour.

Glide vehicles are lifted to the high upper atmosphere by ballistic missiles and then glide at speeds five times faster than the speed of sound.

Pentagon spokesman, Cmdr. Bill Urban, declined to comment on the fresh Chinese maneuvering warhead test, but stressed that the US military “do monitor Chinese military modernization carefully.”

Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower, Randy Forbes, told the Washington Free Beacon that he’s worried by the Chinese tests.

"Ujian berulang China kenderaan meluncur hipersonik menunjukkan Beijing komited untuk rampasan ketenteraan konvensional dan keseimbangan nuklear, dengan implikasi kubur untuk kestabilan Asia," kata Forbes.

Pada 22 April, Russian Strategik Missile Angkatan dijalankan pelancaran yang antara benua peluru berpandu balistik (ICBM), menguji peluru berpandu pelayaran hipersonik.

Satu sumber Interfax berkata pelancaran itu dari tempat pelancaran peluru berpandu di Wilayah Orenburg di sempadan dengan Kazakhstan adalah satu kejayaan.

Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia enggan mengulas mengenai laporan mengenai apa yang dipercayai menjadi ujian glider hipersonik yang ke-2 Moscow.

Pada pertengahan April, pengarah Agensi Pertahanan Peluru Berpandu Pentagon, James Syring, memberitahu Senat Amerika Syarikat bahawa kedua-dua negara, nama-nama yang dia tidak mendedahkan, menimbulkan ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang semakin meningkat.

Walau bagaimanapun, ‘Washington Free Beacon’ memberi amaran bahawa Pentagon "melakukan sedikit untuk berurusan dengan ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang baru muncul."

“China’s repeated test of a hypersonic glide vehicle demonstrates Beijing is committed to upending both the conventional military and nuclear balance, with grave implications for the stability of Asia,”Forbes said.

On April 22, Russian Strategic Missile Forces conducted an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, testing a hypersonic cruise missile.

An Interfax source said that the launch from a missile deployment area in the Orenburg Region on the border with Kazakhstan was a success.

The Russian Defense Ministry declined to comment on reports about what is believed to be Moscow’s second hypersonic glider test.

In mid-April, the director of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, James Syring, told the US Senate that two countries, the names of which he didn’t reveal, pose a growing hypersonic missile threat.

However, the Washington Free Beacon warns that the Pentagon “is doing little to deal with the emerging hypersonic missile threat.”

The Missile Defense Agency has not funded any direct programs to counter hypersonic arms in its 2017 fiscal budget of $7.5 billion.

This year, it asked for funds to work on a low-powered laser to target hypersonic missiles, but its tests will only start in 2021 when China’s DF-ZF will likely already be in service, the website stressed.

JENAMA baru Cosmodrome Rusia melancarkan roket pertama KALI . . .

 

JamaliahYusofYacob Rusia Vostochny Cosmodrome baru telah menjalankan pelancaran ruang pertamanya pada Khamis. Sebuah roket Soyuz dirangsang 3 satelit tontonan saintifik dan jarak ke dalam orbit.

Daya angkat-keluarberlangsung di 05:01 Moscow masa (02:01 GMT) dan beberapa 8 minit 44 saat ke dalam penerbangan Volga peringkat atas membawa 3 satelit berjaya dipisahkan daripada roket Soyuz.

Semua 3 satelit dilancarkan pada roket Soyuz yang telah berjaya dihantar ke orbit tertentu mereka. nanosatellite Experimental Samsat-218 dicabut dari muatan Volga membantu modul di 07:07 Msocow masa (04:07 GMT). 10 minit kemudian 2 satelit muatan utama, Lomonosov dan Aist-l, juga mencapai destinasi mereka.

Russia’s brand new cosmodrome launches 
first-ever rocket . . .

Russia’s new Vostochny Cosmodrome has conducted its first space launch on Thursday. A Soyuz rocket boosted three scientific and distance viewing satellites into orbit.

The lift-off took place at 5:01am Moscow time (2:01am GMT) and some 8 minutes 44 seconds into the flight the Volga upper stage carrying three satellites successfully separated from the Soyuz rocket.

All three satellites launched on the Soyuz rocket have been successfully deployed to their specified orbits. Experimental nanosatellite SamSat-218 disconnected from the Volga payload assist module at 07:07am Msocow time (04:07 GMT). Ten seconds later two main payload satellites, Lomonosov and Aist-l, also reached their destinations.

 

Pelancaran pada hari Khamis diperhatikan oleh Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin, yang membuat keputusan untuk tinggal selama 1 hari untuk sendiri mengambil bahagian dalam acara itu.

"Saya ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada anda. Ada banyak yang boleh dibanggakan, "Putin memberitahu kakitangan Roscosmos berikutan pelancaran yang berjaya. "Pelancaran itu boleh secara teknikal telah berlaku semalam, tetapi perkakasan reaksi berlebihan dan ia telah digugurkan. Tetapi itu adalah satu kejadian normal. "

"Paling penting, kompleks pelancaran anda maju beroperasi, berfungsi dengan baik," kata presiden. "Ada banyak kerja sehingga ke hadapan, tetapi ini adalah pasti yang sangat serius, langkah penting dalam pembangunan Kosmonautik Rusia."

Pelancaran bersejarah datang hari di belakang jadual. Pertama dirancang untuk hari ini, ia telah digugurkan pada saat akhir apabila sistem keselamatan automatik mengesan isyarat gagal dalam satu sensor mereka.

"Pelancaran pertama dari pad baru adalah satu peristiwa penting dan sensitif. Perkara seperti ini berlaku. Kami akan bekerja keluar, "ketua ruang agensi Federation Roscosmos, Igor Komarov, berkata dalam komen pada halangan itu.

The launch on Thursday was observed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decided to stay for an extra day to personally take part in the event.

“I want to congratulate you. There’s a lot to be proud of,” Putin told Roscosmos staff following the successful launch. “The launch could technically have taken place yesterday, but the hardware overreacted and it was aborted. But that’s a normal occurrence.”

“Most importantly, the launch complex you developed is operating, functioning well,” the president added. “There’s a lot of work up ahead, but this was certainly a very serious, significant step in the development of Russian cosmonautics.”

The historic launch came a day behind schedule. First planned for Wednesday, it was aborted at the last minute when automatic safety systems detected a fail signal in one of their sensors.

“The first launch from a new pad is an important and sensitive event. Things like this happen. We will work it out,” the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, Igor Komarov, said in comments on the hitch.

Naib Perdana Menteri Dmitry Rogozin - sesuatu yang 'ruang tsar' dalam kerajaan Rusia - juga menyaksikan pelancaran itu di laman ini, dan disertai oleh ketua Tentera angkasa Rusia, Leftenan Jeneral Aleksandr Golovko.

Vostochny terletak di kawasan yang terpencil di Wilayah Amur di Timur JAUh Rusia, yang membolehkan menghabiskan peringkat untuk selamat mendarat di taiga atau perairan neutral. Pembinaannya telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2012, seperti Rusia melihat keperluan untuk tapak pelancaran domestik untuk roket awam.

Rusia mempunyai kemudahan pelancaran tentera yang besar Plesetsk dan Astrakhan, tetapi untuk pelancaran awam terpaksa bergantung terutamanya kepada Baikonur Cosmodrome di Kazakhstan.

Pelancaran roket Soyuz-2.1a dari Vostochny datang selepas penangguhan. Ia pada mulanya dijadualkan pada Disember 2015, tetapi pembinaan landasan pelancaran dan kemudahan lain pergi lulus tarikh akhir. Hala tuju sekarang kata Cosmodrome harus mempunyai sehingga 10 melancarkan setiap tahun dalam beberapa tahun akan datang. Misi yang dipandu manusia pertama ke Stesen Angkasa Antarabangsa dijangka akan dilancarkan dari Vostochny selepas 2023.

Peranan yang dimainkan oleh kenaikan Cosmodrome baru, Rusia bercadang meneruskan pelancaran dari Baikonur. Kontrak pajakan berdiri dengan Kazakhstan berakhir pada tahun 2050. Berbanding dengan laman itu, Vostochny membolehkan muatan agak kecil yang akan dilancarkan kerana ia terletak 6 darjah utara.

Kerja-kerja di Cosmodrome itu berterusan pad pelancaran tambahan sedang dibina. Jumlah kos projek itu dianggarkan pada kira-kira $ 2.7 bilion. Semasa kemuncaknya proses yang terlibat sehingga 8,000 pekerja dan 1,000 kenderaan tugas berat.

Soyuz roket dilancarkan dari Vostochny pada Selasa menggunakan Peringkat yang ke-3 baru Volga. muatan yang termasuk satelit saintifik Mikhailo Lomonosov, sebuah nanosatellite eksperimen Samsat-218 dan seorang orang awam melihat jarak satelit Aist-2D. A sehari sebelum pelancaran itu ia telah dikurniakan oleh Christian biskop Ortodoks, satu majlis tradisional untuk misi angkasa Rusia.

Vice-Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin – something of a ‘space tsar’ in the Russian government – also watched the launch at the site, and was joined by the chief of Russian Space Troops, Lt. Gen. Aleksandr Golovko.

Vostochny is located in a desolate area of the Amur Region in Russia’s Far East, which allows spent stages to safely land in the taiga or neutral waters. Its construction was launched in 2012, as Russia saw the need for a domestic launch site for civilian rockets.

Russia has the large military launch facilities Plesetsk and Kapustin Yar, but for civilian launches has to rely primarily on the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The launch of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket from Vostochny came after a delay. It was initially scheduled for December 2015, but the construction of the launch pad and other facilities went pass the deadline. The current roadmap says the cosmodrome should have up to 10 launches annually in the next several years. The first manned mission to the International Space Station is expected to be launched from Vostochny after 2023.

As the role played by the new cosmodrome increases, Russia intends continue launches from Baikonur. The standing lease contract with Kazakhstan ends in 2050. Compared to that site, Vostochny allows somewhat smaller payloads to be launched because it is located six degrees further north.

The work at the cosmodrome is continuing as additional launch pads are being constructed. The total cost of the project is estimated at around $2.7 billion. During its peak the process involved up to 8,000 workers and 1,000 heavy duty vehicles.

The Soyuz rocket launched from Vostochny on Tuesday used a new third stage Volga. Its payload includes the scientific satellite Mikhailo Lomonosov, an experimental nanosatellite SamSat-218 and a civilian distance viewing satellite Aist-2D. A day ahead the launch it was blessed by an Orthodox Christian bishop, a traditional ceremony for Russian space missions.

GENEVA menolak permintaan Turki untuk mengeluarkan pic menuduh Erdogan membunuh BUDAK . . .

 

JamaliahYusofYacob Permintaan Turki untuk mengeluarkan gambar seorang budak lelaki dari satu pameran di Geneva, Switzerland, telah ditolak. Gambar itu mendakwa bahawa ketika itu PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan telah terlibat secara langsung dalam kes kematian seorang kanak-kanak di tengah-tengah bantahan anti-kerajaan pada tahun 2013.

"Geneva tidak akan membenarkan mana-mana negara dipengaruhi dalam perkara ini. Geneva dan Switzerland berdiri untuk kebebasan bersuara, "Naib Datuk Bandar Guillaume Barazzone memberitahu media Swiss.

Place des Nations di hadapan Pejabat PBB, di mana pameran itu sedang diadakan, adalah contoh yang baik kebebasan ini kerana ini adalah "di mana minoriti mesti berupaya untuk menyatakan" pendapat mereka, katanya.

"Oleh itu majlis pentadbiran akan menyokong pameran ini dan ia adalah daripada soalan untuk membuang gambar ini."

Demir Sönmez, seorang jurugambar Swiss asal Kurdis dan Armenia, berkata beliau terkejut dengan tindak balas Turki ke pameran itu.

Geneva rejects Turkish demand to remove 
pic accusing Erdogan Of killing boy . . .

Turkey’s demand to remove a photo of a boy from an exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, has been rejected. The photo claims that then-PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan was directly involved in the death of a child amidst anti-government protests in 2013.

“Geneva will not allow any country to be influenced in this matter. Geneva and Switzerland stand for freedom of expression,” Vice Mayor Guillaume Barazzone told Swiss media.

Place des Nations in front of the UN Office, where the exhibition is being staged, is a good example of this freedom as this is “where minorities must be able to express” their opinions, he added.

“Therefore the administrative council will support this exhibition and it is out of the question to remove this photograph.”

Demir Sönmez, a Swiss photographer of Kurdish and Armenian origin, said he is appalled by the Turkish reaction to his exhibition.

"Saya terkejut, tetapi pada masa yang sama saya tidak terkejut, kerana Encik Erdogan dan kerajaannya tidak mempunyai toleransi jua untuk kebebasan bersuara dan kebebasan maklumat," katanya, seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters.

“I am shocked, but at the same time I am not surprised, because Mr Erdogan and his government have no tolerance whatsoever for freedom of expression and freedom of information,” he said, as cited by Reuters.

Skandal itu berlaku kelmarin apabila Ankara menuntut Switzerland mengeluarkan gambar Berkin Elvan, seorang budak lelaki yang telah parah cedera pada Jun 2013 semasa demonstrasi besar-besaran terhadap Perdana Menteri Recep Tayyip Erdogan itu di Gezi Park Istanbul.

"Nama saya Berkin Elvan. polis membunuh saya, atas perintah Perdana Menteri Turki, "kata ‘caption’ di bawah gambar Elvan.

Pada 16 Jun, 2013, Elvan meninggalkan rumah untuk membeli roti, kata keluarganya. Dalam perjalanan pulang dia dipukul di kepala dengan kanister gas pemedih mata yang dilepaskan oleh polis semasa pertempuran dengan penunjuk perasaan.

Budak lelaki itu meninggal dunia di hospital pada usia 15 selepas menghabiskan 269 hari dalam keadaan koma. Ibunya, Gulsum Elvan, menyalahkan kematiannya pada Erdogan, yang memuji "kepahlawanan legenda" polis dalam anti-kerajaan perhimpunan kembali pada bulan Jun 2013.

The scandal broke out on Monday when Ankara demanded Switzerland remove a photo of Berkin Elvan, a boy who was fatally injured in June 2013 during mass demonstrations against then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at Istanbul’s Gezi Park.

“My name is Berkin Elvan. The police killed me, on the order of Turkey's prime minister,” says the caption under the photo of Elvan.

On June 16, 2013, Elvan left home to buy some bread, his family said. On the way back he was hit in the head with a tear gas canister that was fired by police during clashes with protesters.

The boy died in hospital at the age of 15 after spending 269 days in a coma. His mother, Gulsum Elvan, blamed his death on Erdogan, who praised the “legendary heroism” of police in anti-government rallies back in June 2013.

Bar Turki kemasukan kepada wartawan asing, tidak memberikan sebarang penjelasan (Turkey bars entry to foreign journalists, gives no explanation) http://on.rt.com/7aze  7:26 AM - 25 Apr 2016

Kematian kanak-kanak itu mencetuskan bantahan besar-besaran di Turki; ramai di antara mereka menyebabkan pertempuran antara penunjuk perasaan dan polis.

Kedutaan Turki di ibu negara Switzerland Bern mengesahkan pada hari Selasa bahawa mereka telah cuba untuk "mewujudkan hubungan lisan dengan pihak berkuasa bandar Geneva" untuk memberitahu mereka bahawa gambar Elvan ini dibangkitkan "reaksi" tertentu oleh pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan Turki yang berpangkalan di Geneva.

Ini bukan kali pertama Erdogan telah cuba untuk melaksanakan pengaruh ke atas media asing.

Pada bulan April, Jerman memulakan siasatan terhadap TV pelawak Jan Boehmermann puisinya mengkritik presiden Turki selepas Erdogan memfailkan saman peribadi terhadapnya. komik ini sedang berhadapan pendakwaan di bawah undang-undang yang jarang digunakan yang menghukum mereka yang menghina orang-orang kenamaan asing.

Konsulat Turki di Rotterdam melalui e-mel organisasi Turki dengan permintaan itu mereka melaporkan "menghina" komen mengenai "Presiden kita, bangsa Turki atau Turki secara umum." Dalam giliran jahat, surat itu merujuk kepada "segala-galanya yang dikongsi di Twitter, Facebook dan walaupun dalam e-mel peribadi."

Beberapa wartawan EU telah dibenarkan masuk ke Turki pada bulan kebelakangan ini. Pada bulan April, wartawan Belanda Ebru Umar berkata, beliau secara ringkas ditahan di Turki berhubung tulisan Twitter mengkritik Erdogan. Juga pada bulan April, seorang wartawan TV untuk penyiar Jerman ARD Volker Schwenck, yang telah pergi ke sempadan Turki-Syria untuk melaporkan pelarian, menghabiskan masa 6 jam ditahan di lapangan terbang Istanbul selepas dibenarkan masuk ke dalam Turki.

Pada bulan Mac wartawan untuk berpengaruh Jerman majalah Der Spiegel, Hasnain Kazim, terpaksa meninggalkan negara ini oleh pihak berkuasa Turki selepas kelayakan akhbarnya tidak diperbaharui. ‘Editor-in-chief ‘majalah itu menuduh Turki melanggar kebebasan akhbar.

The boy’s death sparked mass protests in Turkey; many of them resulted in violent clashes between demonstrators and police.

Turkey’s embassy in the Swiss capital Bern confirmed on Tuesday that they had been trying to “establish verbal contact with the Geneva city authorities” to inform them that Elvan’s photograph raised certain “reactions” by Geneva-based Turkish non-governmental organizations.

This is not the first time Erdogan has tried to exercise influence over foreign media.

In April, Germany opened an investigation into TV comedian Jan Boehmermann's poem criticizing the Turkish president after Erdogan filed a personal lawsuit against him. The comic now faces prosecution under a rarely-used law that punishes those who insult foreign dignitaries.

The Turkish consulate in Rotterdam emailed Turkish organizations with the request they report “derogatory” comments about “our President, the Turkish nation or Turkey in general.” In a sinister turn, the letter refers to "everything that's being shared on Twitter, Facebook and even in private emails."

A number of EU journalists have been denied entry to Turkey in recent months. In April, Dutch journalist Ebru Umar said she was briefly detained in Turkey over Twitter posts critical of Erdogan. Also in April, a TV journalist for German broadcaster ARD Volker Schwenck, who was going to the Turkish-Syrian border to report on refugees, spent six hours detained at Istanbul airport after being refused entry into Turkey.

In March a correspondent for the influential German magazine Der Spiegel, Hasnain Kazim, was forced to leave the country by Turkish authorities after his press credentials weren’t renewed. The magazine’s editor-in-chief accused Turkey of violating press freedom.

TURKEY + EU = Penapisan ? 5 KALI Erdogan CUBA untuk mendapatkan Eropah utk menutup mulut pengkritiknya . . .

JamaliahYusofYacob Turki Presiden Recep Tayyip Erdogan sudah terkenal dengan mengikuti pembangkang wartawan, artis dan ahli politik di rumah. Baru-baru ini beliau telah berpindah untuk menghukum mereka di luar sempadannya, sering dengan persetujuan daripada sekutu Eropah.

Turkey + EU = Censorship? 5 times Erdogan tried to get Europe to silence his critics

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is already notorious for pursuing opposition journalists, artists and politicians at home. Recently he has moved to punish them outside his borders, often with acquiescence from European allies.

Sebagaimana TV Jerman satira Jan Bohmermann membacakan puisi mengaitkan Erdogan dalam perbuatan seks dengan kambing dan kecenderungan untuk pornografi kanak-kanak bulan lalu, dia tahu apa yang dia lakukan - menguji kesabaran Turki, yang sudah mengadu tentang minggu lagu menyindir awal dan toleransi kerajaan sendiri.

As German TV satirist Jan Bohmermann read out a poem implicating Erdogan in sex acts with goats and a proclivity for child pornography last month, he knew exactly what he was doing – testing the patience of Turkey, which had already complained about a satirical song weeks earlier, and the tolerance of his own government.


Dengan puisi menghina beliau mengenai Presiden Turki Erdogan, Jan Böhmermann telah mencetuskan hubungan sulit negara (With his insulting poem about Turkish President Erdogan, Jan Böhmermann has triggered an affair of state).

Tidak mengejutkan, Turki telah marah. Tetapi mungkin kejutan yang lebih besar adalah apabila Canselor Angela Merkel bersetuju dengan Ankara bahawa puisi itu "sengaja provokatif," dan biarkan Boehmermann pendakwaan muka bawah undang-undang yang jarang digunakan yang menghukum mereka yang menghina orang-orang kenamaan asing.

Unsurprisingly, Turkey was incensed. But perhaps a bigger shock was when Chancellor Angela Merkel agreed with Ankara that the poem was “deliberately provocative,” and let Bohmermann face prosecution under a rarely-used law that punishes those who insult foreign dignitaries.

Ini melepaskan ribut kritikan bertujuan untuk kedua-dua Merkel dan Erdogan, dikuatkan oleh kenyamanan mereka, berikutan perjanjian pulangan pelarian baru-baru ini. Minggu lalu, Merkel backpedaled, mempertahankan kebebasan bersuara dan berkata pandangan beliau adalah satu "kesilapan" - tanpa menterbalikkan tindakan beliau.

This unleashed a storm of criticism aimed at both Merkel and Erdogan, amplified by their coziness, following the recent refugee return deal. Last week, Merkel backpedaled, defending free speech and saying her views were a “mistake” - without reversing her actions.

Ini, Boehmermann kini di sabatikal, bersiap sedia untuk membela diri di mahkamah, dan beratus-ratus beribu-ribu orang mendaftar untuk petisyen untuk membebaskannya.

Thus, Bohmermann is now on a sabbatical, preparing to defend himself in court, and hundreds of thousands are signing up to a petition to acquit him.

Gambar penunjuk perasaan juga satu penghinaan kepada Turki (Photo of protester also an insult to Turkey)



Urusan Boehmermann telah dikuasakan lingkaran yang lebih lucah sindiran bertujuan Erdogan, dengan pelawak terkenal Belanda Hans Teeuwen menggambarkan sebuah perhubungan seksual yang tidak berjaya dengan Presiden Turki apabila dia adalah seorang kanak-kanak lelaki di sewa di sebuah rumah mandi Istanbul. Ahli Parlimen Belanda mengambil sisi pelawak itu, berkata mereka akan memansuhkan undang-undang yang sama dengan yang tidak perlu lagi Boehmermann ditapis di Jerman. Majalah konservatif Spectator UK, yang beroperasi di sebuah negara yang tidak mempunyai undang-undang anti-menyindir, telah juga memulakan satu pertandingan untuk puisi yang terbaik menghina pemimpin Turki.

Tetapi Ankara tidak melangkah kembali. Pada hari Isnin, Turki menuntut penghapusan gambar - yang menunjukkan penunjuk perasaan pembangkang memegang banner menyalahkan Erdogan atas kematian seorang remaja - dari pameran fotografi di Geneva. Sekali lagi, jika diambil ke bawah ia akan berada di bawah undang-undang tempatan melindungi maruah tokoh masyarakat asing.

The Bohmermann affair has powered a spiral of ever more lewd satire aimed at Erdogan, with renowned Dutch comedian Hans Teeuwen picturing an unsuccessful sexual liaison with the Turkish President when he was a rent boy in an Istanbul bathhouse. Dutch MPs took the side of the comedian, saying they would abolish a law similar to the one that got Bohmermann censured in Germany. UK conservative magazine the Spectator, operating in a country that has no anti-satirical laws, has also started a competition for the best poem insulting the Turkish leader.

But Ankara is not stepping back. On Monday, Turkey demanded the removal of a photo - showing an opposition protester holding a banner blaming Erdogan for the death of a teenager - from a photography exhibition in Geneva. Once again, if taken down it will be under local legislation protecting the dignity of foreign public figures.

Don’t let them sing about the genocide


http://dw.com/p/1HDct?tw  Radialsystem V Berlin: Dresden Symphony dijalankan oleh Andrea Molino mengimbas kembali pembunuhan beramai-ramai Armenia  (Radialsystem V Berlin: Dresden Symphony conducted by Andrea Molino recalls Armenian genocide) 6:18 PM - 28 Nov 2015

Selain daripada penghinaan ditujukan kepada Erdogan, titik sakit antarabangsa ke-2 adalah liputan, atau menyebut Pembunuhan Bangsa Armenia dipanggil tahun 1915, di mana Yerevan berkata seramai 1.5 juta orang mati  akibat tindakan Empayar Uthmaniyyah.

Turki sekeras-kerasnya menentang penggunaan istilah, dan idea bahawa Armenia disasarkan tidak seimbang, dan pada hujung minggu cerita yang muncul Turki menuntut bahawa EU menarik balik € 200,000 ($ 224,500) dalam pembiayaan untuk persembahan orkestra di Dresden, Jerman, pada April 30, yang merujuk kepada peristiwa-peristiwa seperti pembunuhan beramai-ramai.

Other than insults directed at Erdogan, the second international sore point is coverage, or even mention of the so-called Armenian Genocide of 1915, in which Yerevan says as many as 1.5 million people died due to the actions of the Ottoman Empire.

Turkey vehemently opposes the use of the term, and the idea that Armenians were targeted disproportionately, and over the weekend a story emerged of Turkey demanding that the EU withdraw €200,000 ($224,500) in funding for an orchestra performance in Dresden, Germany, on April 30, which referred to the events as genocide.

"Ia merupakan satu pelanggaran terhadap kebebasan bersuara," kata Markus Rindt, pengarah orkestra Dresdner Sinfoniker.

Untuk kekaguman Rindt ini, EU kowtowed tekanan Turki dan dibuat penyingkiran pembunuhan beramai-ramai perkataan syarat untuk mengekalkan geran.

"Kami semua ini sangat dipersoalkan," kata Rindt.

Walaupun pergi awam cerita, program prestasi sebelumnya, dan bahan-bahan promosi, telah "ditarik balik buat sementara waktu," menurut EU, manakala "penerangan projek baru akan diterbitkan semula pada hari-hari akan datang."

Sweden ketawa keluar  permintaan menarik dokumentari

Pembunuhan beramai-ramai Assyria, di mana lebih 250,000 orang Asyur mungkin telah disembelih oleh Uthmaniyyah, juga pada tahun 1915, adalah kurang terkenal, tetapi topik hangat dalam Sweden, yang menempatkan minoriti besar Assyria.

"It's an infringement on freedom of expression," said Markus Rindt, director of the Dresdner Sinfoniker orchestra.

To Rindt’s astonishment, the EU kowtowed to Turkish pressure and made the removal of the word genocide a condition for maintaining the grant.

"We find all of this very questionable," said Rindt.

Despite the story going public, the previous performance program, and its promotional materials, have been “temporarily withdrawn,” according to the EU, while "a new project description will be republished in the coming days.”

Sweden laughs off demand to pull documentary

The Assyrian genocide, in which over 250,000 Assyrians may have been slaughtered by Ottomans, also in 1915, is less well-known, but a hot topic in Sweden, which accommodates a sizeable Assyrian minority.

Lebih awal daripada siaran dokumentari mengenai acara itu hujung bulan ini, pengeluar dari saluran TV4 itu membuka surat dari Kedutaan Turki mendesak mereka untuk menggugurkan penghantaran kerana "hanya tribunal antarabangsa yang berwibawa boleh menentukan sama ada suatu peristiwa tertentu adalah pembunuhan beramai-ramai" dan filem mereka, yang tidak pernah dilihat oleh penulis, "akan gagal untuk berkhidmat kepada prinsip objektiviti penyiaran."

"Kami tidak boleh menerima ini. Kami akan membantah sebarang usaha untuk mengenakan tekanan yang mengancam kebebasan bersuara, "kata satu kenyataan daripada pengarah program stesen, Viveka Hansson, yang menerbitkan surat itu di laman web saluran itu, sebelum penyiaran filem dalam slot asalnya.

Ahead of the broadcast of a documentary on the event later this month, producers from the TV4 channel opened a letter from the Turkish embassy urging them to drop the transmission because “only a competent international tribunal can determine whether a particular event is genocide” and their film, which had not been seen by the author, “will fail to serve the principle of objectivity of broadcasting.”

“We can never accept this. We will protest against any attempt to exert pressure that threatens freedom of expression,” said a statement from the station's program director, Viveka Hansson, who published the letter on the channel’s website, before broadcasting the film in its original slot.

Organisasi Turki memberitahu untuk mengintip di luar negara (Turkish organizations told to spy abroad)



Dalam apa yang kelihatan tahap kualitatif baru gangguan, minggu lalu konsulat Turki di Rotterdam melalui e-mel organisasi Turki dengan permintaan itu mereka melaporkan "menghina" komen mengenai "Presiden kita, bangsa Turki atau Turki secara umum." Dalam giliran jahat, huruf merujuk kepada "segala-galanya yang dikongsi di Twitter, Facebook dan juga dalam e-mel peribadi."

Belanda tidak laissez-faire. ". Saya terkejut Ia tidak jelas apa yang kerajaan Turki bertujuan untuk mencapai dengan tindakan ini," Perdana Menteri Mark Rutte memberitahu wartawan, sambil menambah: "Duta kami di Ankara akan meminta penjelasan."

In what appears a qualitatively new level of interference, last week the Turkish consulate in Rotterdam emailed Turkish organizations with the request they report “derogatory” comments about “our President, the Turkish nation or Turkey in general.” In a sinister turn, the letter refers to "everything that's being shared on Twitter, Facebook and even in private emails."

The Dutch were not laissez-faire. "I am surprised. It's not clear what the Turkish government aims to achieve with this action," Prime Minister Mark Rutte told journalists, adding: "Our ambassador in Ankara will ask for an explanation."

Turki mendakwa niat e-mel itu "Disalahtafsirkan kerana pilihan kata-kata malang," dan bahawa negara ini semata-mata "mengumpul inventori" tindak balas asing untuk kepimpinan dan imejnya.

Turkey claimed that the intent of the email was “misconstrued due to an unfortunate choice of words,” and that the country was merely “collecting an inventory” of foreign reactions to its leadership and image.

Tetapi dengan minoriti Turki yang besar di Belanda, sesetengah daripada mereka boleh didakwa di bawah undang-undang Turki jika mereka kembali ke tanah air, pengkritik dan akhbar-akhbar menulis tentang "lengan panjang Erdogan," dan menyiarkan kartun satira untuk perlawanan mereka, membawa cerita bulatan penuh.

But with a large Turkish minority in the Netherlands, some of whom could be prosecuted under Turkish laws if they ever return to their homeland, critics and newspapers wrote about “the long arm of Erdogan,” and published satirical cartoons to match, bringing the story full circle.
