EIL: US-Sanktionen – Müssen Iraner türkische Bankkonten räumen?|
Zwei türkische Banken haben rechtswidrig versucht die Konten von iranischen Bürgern einzufrieren. Der Skandal kam ans Tageslicht. Beide Banken sollen sich nur an die amtlichen Verlautbarungen der türkischen Bankaufsichtsbehörde BDDK gehalten haben. Doch die BDDK lehnt diesen Vorwurf entschieden ab.
Zwei türkische Banken haben rechtswidrig versucht die Konten von iranischen Bürgern einzufrieren. Der Skandal kam ans Tageslicht. Beide Banken sollen sich nur an die amtlichen Verlautbarungen der türkischen Bankaufsichtsbehörde BDDK gehalten haben. Doch die BDDK lehnt diesen Vorwurf entschieden ab.
Die türkischen Banken Yapı Kredi und Garanti Bankası haben ihren iranischen Bankkunden damit gedroht, ihre Einlagen zu konfiszieren, falls sie jene Einlagen nicht bis zum 17. April abheben. Den Bankkunden wurde zudem mitgeteilt, dass mit dieser Entscheidung lediglich die amtlichen Verlautbarungen der türkischen Bankenaufsichtsbehörde BDDK erfüllt wurden. Doch die BDDK dementiert derartige Vorgaben.
In einer Mitteilung erklärte ein Sprecher der BDDK, dass man den beiden Banken, welche diese Gerüchte gestreut haben, eine Rüge erteilen werde. „Wenn wir eine solche Verlautbarung erteilt hätten, dann wüssten auch die anderen Banken Bescheid. Doch dem ist nicht so“, zitiert die Today`s Zaman einen Sprecher der BDDK. Auch die Finansbank, VakıfBank und Halk Bankası dementierten den Erhalt einer derartigen amtlichen Verlautbarung.
Ein seit zehn Jahren in der Türkei lebender iranischer Staatsbürger zeigte sich erbost über das Vorgehen von Yapı Kredi und Garanti Bankası. Im Gespräch mit der Today`s Zaman sagte A.G., dass er behandelt werde, wie jemand, der Uranium anreichere. Es könne nicht sein, dass jeder Iraner unter Generalverdacht stehe. „Ich werde diesen Vorfall vor Gericht bringen“, erklärt A.G.
Offenbar standen Yapı Kredi und Garanti Bankası unter dem Eindruck der US-Sanktionen gegen den Iran.

Rüpel-Auftritt des scheidenden Botschafters in Ankara – Ansehen des Iran auf dem Tiefpunkt- selbst in der islamischen Welt
Im Zuge seines Abschiedsempfangs pöbelte der iranische Botschafter gegen die „Zaman“ und die türkische Regierung. Einmal mehr wird auf diese Weise der Überbringer für eine schlechte Nachricht verantwortlich gemacht. (Foto: ap)
Von Abdülhamit Bilici
Der iranische Botschafter Bahman Hüseyinpur, dessen Amtszeit in der Türkei abgelaufen ist, gab Reportern in Ankara einen diplomatischen Abschiedsempfang. Bei dieser Gelegenheit hat er als Gastgeber in seinem Noch-Amtssitz abseits aller diplomatischen Umgangsformen und gängigen Höflichkeitsregeln noch einmal ausgiebig seine Gäste beleidigt.
Er forderte Journalisten in drohendem Ton dazu auf, vorsichtiger zu werden und gab auf diese Weise seinem Verständnis von Pressefreiheit Ausdruck. Damit nicht genug, beschuldigte er auch noch einen Berichterstatter von „Today’s Zaman“ (TZ) einer Falschmeldung und fügte noch hinzu: „Ganz gewiss sind wir uns darüber im Klaren, wer Sie steuert!“
Die Begründung des iranischen Gesandten für seine Pöbelattacken war höchst merkwürdig: Der TZ-Korrespondent hatte lediglich nach der politischen Haltung gefragt, die der Iran in Anbetracht der aktuellen Lage in Syrien an den Tag legt. Anstatt auf diese harmlose Frage zu antworten, zog der Botschafter es vor, sich beleidigend über eines der führenden Medienunternehmen der Türkei zu äußern. Lies den Rest dieses Artikels
Reuters: Turkish gold trade booms to Iran, via Dubai

DUBAI/ISTANBUL | Tue Oct 23, 2012 10:04am EDT
(Reuters) – To see one of Iran’s financial lifelines at work, pay a visit to Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport and find a gate for a flight to Dubai.
Couriers carrying millions of dollars worth of gold bullion in their luggage have been flying from Istanbul to Dubai, where the gold is shipped on toIran, according to industry sources with knowledge of the business.
The sums involved are enormous. Official Turkish trade data suggests nearly $2 billion worth of gold was sent to Dubai on behalf of Iranian buyers in August. The shipments help Tehran manage its finances in the face of Western financial sanctions.
The sanctions, imposed over Iran’s disputed nuclear program, have largely frozen it out of the global banking system, making it hard for it to conduct international money transfers. By using physical gold, Iran can continue to move its wealth across borders.
“Every currency in the world has an identity, but gold means value without identity. The value is absolute wherever you go,” said a trader in Dubai with knowledge of the gold trade between Turkey and Iran.
The identity of the ultimate destination of the gold in Iran is not known. But the scale of the operation through Dubai and its sudden growth suggest the Iranian government plays a role.
The Dubai trader and other sources familiar with the business spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, because of the political and commercial sensitivity of the matter.
Iran sells oil and gas to Turkey, with payments made to state Iranian institutions. U.S. and European banking sanctions ban payments in U.S. dollars or euros so Iran gets paid in Turkish lira. Lira are of limited value for buying goods on international markets but ideal for a gold buying spree in Turkey.
ROUTING VIA DUBAI
In March this year, as the banking sanctions began to bite, Tehran sharply increased its purchases of gold bullion from Turkey, according to the Turkish government’s trade data.
Direct gold exports to Iran from Turkey, long a major consumer and stockpiler of gold, hit $1.8 billion in July – equivalent to over a fifth of Turkey’s entire trade deficit in that month.
In August, however, a sudden plunge in Turkey’s direct gold exports to Iran coincided with a leap in its sales of the precious metal to the UAE.
Turkey exported a total $2.3 billion worth of gold in August, of which $2.1 billion was gold bullion. Just over $1.9 billion, about 36 metric tons, was sent to the UAE, latest available data from Turkey’s Statistics Office shows. In July Turkey exported only $7 million of gold to the UAE.
At the same time Turkey’s direct gold exports to Iran, which had been fluctuating between $1.2 billion and about $1.8 billion each month since April, slumped to just $180 million in August.
The Dubai-based trader said that from August, direct shipments to Iran were largely replaced by indirect ones through Dubai, apparently because Tehran wanted to avoid publicity.
“The trade from Turkey directly to Iran has stopped because there was just too much publicity around it,” said the trader.
Dealers, jewellejewelersrs and analysts in Dubai said they had not noticed any large, sudden increase of supply in the local gold market during August. They said that suggested the increased shipments to the UAE were sent straight on to Iran.
It is not clear how the gold is moved from Dubai to Iran, but there is substantial trade between the two economies, much of it conducted by wooden dhows and other ships crossing the Gulf, a distance of only about 150 kilometers (100 miles) at its narrowest point.
A trader in Turkey said Tehran had shifted to indirect imports because the direct shipments were widely reported in Turkish and international media earlier this year. “Now on paper it looks like the gold is going to Dubai, not to Iran,” he said.
Iranian gold buyers may want to conceal their Turkish gold deliveries for fear of attracting attention from the United States, which is pressing countries around the world to shrink their economic ties with Iran.
The buyers may also want to make their purchases less vulnerable to any possible interference by Turkey’s government. Turkey’s close relationship with Iran has begun to sour as the two states find themselves on opposite sides of the civil war in Syria, with Turkey advocating the departure of President Bashar al-Assad and Iran remaining Assad’s staunchest regional ally.
PASSENGER LOUNGE
There is no suggestion that the gold trade means Dubai is violating international sanctions against Iran. United Nations sanctions ban shipments of nuclear-related materials to Iran and freeze the assets of some Iranian individuals and companies, but they do not prohibit most forms of trade.
The UAE has not yet released its trade data for August. Officials at the Dubai customs authority could not be reached for comment despite repeated attempts to contact them.
Turkish trade data confirms the gold is being transported to Dubai by air. According to the data, $1.45 billion of Turkey’s total gold exports in August were shipped through the customs office at Ataturk airport’s passenger lounge. Almost all of the rest, $800 million, were shipped from Istanbul’s smaller Sabiha Gokcen airport.
Turkey’s total exports of all goods to the UAE totaled $2.2 billion in August. Of that amount, $1.19 billion were registered at the Ataturk passenger lounge, while $776 million were registered at Sabiha Gokcen.
A customs broker who does business at Ataturk said couriers were boarding Turkish Airlines and Emirates flights to Dubai at the airport, carrying the metal in their hand luggage to avoid the risk of it getting lost or stolen.
The maximum amount of gold bullion which a passenger is allowed to take is 50 kilograms (110 pounds), he said. This suggests that during the month of August, as many as several hundred courier trips may have taken gold to Dubai on Iran’s behalf.
“It is all legal, they declare it, they give their tax number and it is all registered so there is nothing illegal about this,” the broker said.
“At the moment there’s quite a lot of traffic to Dubai. During September and October we have also been seeing this.”
The trade data shows almost $1.4 billion worth of Turkey’s August exports to the UAE came from a company or companies with a tax number registered in the coastal city of Izmir, Turkey’s third biggest. Customs officials at Ataturk declined a Reuters request to provide documents identifying the exporters, saying the information was confidential.
The identity of the companies handling the business could not be confirmed. Traders said that because of the risk of attracting unwelcome attention from U.S. authorities, only a few companies were likely to be willing to get involved.

Iranian Studies Conference in Istanbul
By Sara Rushan (source: Radio Zamaneh)
Conversation with Tooraj Atabaki, professor of Social History of the Middle East and Central Asia in Department of History at University of Amsterdam about the 2012 Iranian Studies Conference in Istanbul
For centuries numerous experts on Iranian studies in Iran and all over the world have studied topics on Iranian art, history, language and politics and published their studies in various articles and books.
Since 45 years ago, a group of graduate students in the United States founded the Society for Iranian Studies. They aimed at creating a space to exchange the knowledge and scientific achievements of scholars and Iranian studies researchers in the fields of human and social studies including literature, history, sociology, anthropology and economy. The society boasts over a thousand official members to date and having stretched its reach beyond North America and Europe, a few years ago, it amended its mission statement renaming itself as the International Society for Iranian Studies to include Iran scholars from Far East, Central Asia, Middle East and North Africa.

Urgent letter about five journalist and several Human Rights Activist in Turkey
Respected United Nations General Secretary, UN High Commissionaire for Refugees and Respected Foreign Ministers of Countries who Support Human Rights
Iranian journalists are amongst those who have become victims of human rights abuse, as a result of their work in promoting human rights in Iran and have been oppressed by the Iran’s security agents and judiciary judges. Journalists whose writings and ideas for peace have made them targets for human rights abusers.
In recent years, some very disturbing stories have been reported on the status of independent media and journalists, which require urgent attention. The International Federation of Journalists and also other human rights organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have described the situation of journalists in Iran to be worrying and complicated and they have stated the intimidation of journalists in recent years has been the worst ever.
Reporters Without Borders have said Iran continues to have the largest number of journalists in prison and have named Iran as the biggest prison of journalists.
The increasing pressure on journalists by the security agents follows no laws and rules and this has forced many of them to leave their motherland, against their will, to seek refuge in neighboring countries and ask for asylum from UN High Commissionaire for Refugees. Many are currently incarcerated and those seeking asylum face heavy sentences if they return to Iran.
It is with much sadness that I have learned many Iranian journalists who have fled to Turkey, are living under very difficult conditions there. Many Human Rights and political activists as well as journalists face the same uncertainty.
Iranian security agents have threatened some of them on numerous occasions and caused them anxiety.
Lack of security in Turkey has caused me to write this letter to you, so that Iranian journalists and human rights activists who are residing in Turkey can be helped by whatever means possible and transferred to safer countries.
If we can support human rights, then we must support human rights activists too, who truly have paid the price for their beliefs with their lives and freedoms to make the voices of the victims of human rights abuse heard.
It is very sad that the renowned Iranian Journalists, Hadi Nili, who for years has been harassed and interrogated by the intelligence ministry agents, has remained in Turkey for over two years and has not been able to reach freedom.
Truly, the ongoing uncertainty and overdue stay of such people and others, whom I will name below, in an unsafe country for them, like Turkey is just, added torture for them.
Behrooz Samad Beigi has been living in a worrying condition for more than 13 months.
Hamid Mafi and his wife, Maryam Akbari, have been living in terrible conditions for more than 10 months and have been threatened on numerous occasions.
Ehsanollah Mehrabi and his wife have been exiled to a village near Syria and their situation is very worrying.
Mehdi Tajik Ghashghaei, one of the seasoned Iranian journalists has got to wait for his first UN interview until July 2013.
Alireza Firouzi, a young tireless human rights activist has to wait until February 2013 for his case to be heard by UN officials. Also Mr. Farhad Nouri Koochi. Mr. Koochi entered Van in Turkey on 09/21/2011. Subsequent to his registration with UNHCR on 09/16/2011, his first interview was scheduled for 12/16/2011. However, due to the earthquake in Van, his interview was cancelled. Unfortunately, Mr. Koochi still has NOT heard anything from UNHCR regarding rescheduling his interview date. Mr. Koochi is a human rights activist and an active member of the Nematollahi Gonabadi Dervishes,and Mr. Kouchi who is administrator of Nematollahi Gonabadi Order News Site ” Majzooban Noor a recognized religious minority Sufi group that has been subject to mass arrests and persecution in Iran. Unfortunately there are a lot of Human Rights activist like Mr. Babak Ejlali and Homayon Naderifar who need to your help.
Let me emphasise again, if we are able to defend the rights of journalists and Human Rights activist, we should defend them wherever and whenever we can. Today these people need our help. I ask you to help these people by transferring them to a safe country and improving their situation, so that they can continue to help improve the situation of their people.
With much gratitude

Special Rapporteur seeks access to Iranian refugees in Turkey
(Photo: AA)
YONCA POYRAZ DOĞAN, İSTANBUL
Ahmed Shaheed, a UN special rapporteur charged with examining human rights conditions in Iran, has indicated that he is looking forward to gaining access to Iranian refugees located within Turkey in order to gather additional information about the human rights situation in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Shaheed, a former foreign minister of the Maldives, was selected by the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2011 as a neutral party to investigate human rights violations in Iran and to write an official report based on the findings.
At the end of March of this year, he presented to the UN Human Rights Council findings from the first eight months of his investigation, reporting that the Iranian authorities are increasingly disregarding human rights and arbitrarily imprisoning human rights defenders, journalists, political activists and trade unionists. Furthermore, the number of executions has skyrocketed.
However, Shaheed has had to carry out his investigation from outside Iran since the Iranian authorities have not been cooperative. Because the Iranian government has not permitted the special rapporteur to visit the country, Shaheed had official visits to three European countries, France, Germany and Belgium, which host the Iranian diaspora.
However, human rights defenders note that Shaheed’s visit to Turkey would be crucial because Turkey hosts the most Iranian asylum seekers in the world.
“We don’t have access to Iran. Either we get information through the Internet or phone, or we go to the surrounding countries where there are Iranian refugees. Since 2009, Turkey has hosted the largest number of registered Iranian refugees and asylum-seekers in the world.
Iranians do not need a visa to come to Turkey,” said Faraz Sanei, a researcher on Iran at Human Rights Watch based in New York.
He noted that the number of Iranians seeking assylum in Turkey was 1,081 in 2009 and 2,881 in 2010, according to figures from the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).
“We also have to remember that there are people who left Iran but have not actually registered with the UNHCR, and they are not counted in the figures we have,” he added.
Metin Çorabatır from the Turkey office of the UNHCR said there are currently 5,700 Iranians registered as refugees or asylum seekers in Turkey.
Hadi Ghaemi, director of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran, founded in 2008 and based in New York, claimed that Special Rapporteur Shaheed met with a Turkish official in September 2011 to discuss visiting Turkey on a fact-finding mission and interviewing Iranian refugees. He further claimed that Shaheed submitted a formal request to the Turkish government on May 7 for permission for such a mission.
“There is no justification for the Turkish government not to allow him to conduct such a fact-finding mission towards preparing Shaheed’s UN mandated report and I hope his request will be granted as soon as possible,” Ghaemi told Today’s Zaman.
Turkish Foreign Ministry officials did not confirm Ghaemi’s statements and Shaheed’s office does not comment on his official communications with governments as a matter of course for confidentiality reasons.
UN experts condemn harsh sentencing of rights defenders
A group of UN independent experts recently condemned the ongoing arrests and harsh sentencing of human rights defenders in Iran, and urged the Iranian government to ensure that rights defenders are not being targeted for carrying out their legitimate activities and are provided with adequate protection.
“The conviction and extremely harsh sentencing of human rights defenders is an indication of the mounting repression against the legitimate activities of human rights defenders and represents a serious setback for the protection of human rights in Iran,” said Special Rapporteur Shaheed.
The UN experts expressed particular concern about the situation of Nargess Mohammadi, whose state of health is reportedly extremely fragile. Mohammadi, former vice president of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre, founded by Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, was rearrested on April 21 to resume a six-year prison sentence handed down by an Iranian appeal court for “assembly and collusion against national security, membership of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre, and propaganda against the regime.”
Other human rights defenders arrested or convicted for carrying out their legitimate work include individual activists such as Abdolfattah Soltani and Nasrin Sotoudeh, both lawyers who have represented many high-profile political and human rights activists.
In addition, Special Rapporteur Shaheed reported an “alarming increase” in executions taking place in Iran, from fewer than 100 in 2003, to 670 in 2011, many occurring after little or no due process.
Ghaemi, who was recently in Turkey to raise awareness about the human rights situation in Iran among Turkish society and with the government, added that Turkey has a big role to play.
“Since Turkey has access to the Iranian government, it could play a very constructive role in letting Iran know that its human rights violations are not acceptable, that its lack of cooperation with the UN is not acceptable. Turkey can really play an important role to bring about transitional change which is not abrupt and violent. Turkey can prevent that kind of outcome in countries like Syria and Libya,” he said.

Türkei: Neuer Bericht von PRO ASYL zur Situation von Flüchtlingen in der Türkei
Europa setzt Griechenland unter Druck, weil das kleine Mitgliedsland seine Grenze angeblich nicht ordentlich gegen Flüchtlinge und Migranten verteidigt. Griechenland und Europa setzen gemeinsam die Türkei unter Druck: Das Land am Bosporus soll dafür sorgen, dass Schutzsuchende gar nicht bis an die griechische bzw. EU-Grenze kommen. Diejenigen, die es auf das EU-Territorium schaffen, sollen möglichst unbürokratisch zurückgenommen werden. Die Türkei selbst nimmt jedoch keine außereuropäischen Flüchtlinge dauerhaft auf – Flüchtlinge in der Türkei verbleiben demnach im Transit, bis ein anderer Aufnahmestaat gefunden ist. Der http://www.proasyl.de/fileadmin/proasyl/fm_redakteure/Broschueren_pdf/Broschuere_Tuerkei_Maerz_2012_WEB.pdf” target=”_blank”>PRO ASYL-Bericht „Überleben in Transit“ beleuchtet die Situation jener über 20.000 Flüchtlinge, die derzeit in der Türkei darauf warten, anderswo ein neues Leben anfangen zu können und währenddessen Polizeiübergriffen, willkürlicher Inhaftierungen, der ständigen Gefahr drohender Abschiebungen und einem täglichen Überlebenskampf ausgesetzt sind.
Auszug aus dem Bericht:
Die Türkei hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren vom
Auswanderungsland und Herkunftsland von Flüchtlingen1
zum aktuell wichtigsten Transitland für Schutzsuchende
auf dem Weg nach Europa entwickelt. Der vorliegende
Bericht beschreibt die schwierige Situation von
Schutzsuchenden in der Türkei. Nicht verkannt werden
darf, dass kein anderes Land vom Europäischen Gerichtshof
für Menschenrechte in 2011 so oft wegen Verletzung der
Menschenrechte verurteilt wurde, wie die Türkei. Vor allem
die Meinungs- und Pressefreiheit wurde in den letzten
Jahren in besorgniserregender Weise unter der Regierung
Recep Tayyip Erdo˘gan eingeschränkt. Nach Angaben von
Menschenrechtsgruppen in der Türkei wurden seit 2009
über 4.000 Menschen festgenommen, die meisten von ihnen
Mitglieder der kurdischen Partei BDP, darunter aber auch
Journalisten, kurdische Politiker und Regierungskritiker. Die
Europäische Union (EU) übt im Zuge der Beitrittsverhandlungen
massiven Druck auf das Land am Bosporus aus, dafür
zu sorgen, dass Flüchtlingen eine Weiterflucht nach Westen
unmöglich gemacht wird. Flüchtlingen aus Afghanistan, Irak,
Iran, Somalia, Syrien und Eritrea bleibt mittlerweile kaum
ein anderer Weg, als über die Türkei in die EU zu gelangen.
Diese Schutzsuchenden leben im türkischen Transit unter
schwierigen, zum Teil auch gefährlichen Bedingungen: Willkürliche
Inhaftierungen, die ständige Gefahr einer drohenden
Abschiebung und ein täglicher Überlebenskampf prägen
ihren Alltag.
Die meisten Flüchtlinge versuchen, von der Türkei nach
Griechenland zu gelangen. Berichte über schwere Menschenrechtsverletzungen
und katastrophale Lebensbedingungen
in den Flüchtlingshaftlagern auf beiden Seiten der
EU-Außengrenze häufen sich.2
PRO ASYL hat mit Unterstützung der Evangelisch-Lutherischen
Kirche in Bayern, der Evangelischen Kirche in Hessen
und Nassau, dem Diakonischen Werk in Hessen und Nassau,
dem Deutschen Caritas Verband, Brot für die Welt, der Stiftung:
do und der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe im Oktober 2010 ein
Recherche- und Unterstützungsprojekt in der Türkei begonnen.
Inhalt dieser Kooperation mit Menschenrechtsorganisationen
in Istanbul und Izmir ist nicht nur die Analyse
der prekären Situation von Flüchtlingen im Transit Türkei,
sondern auch die konkrete Einzelfallhilfe. Ein wichtiges Element
unseres Engagements ist die Stärkung der grenzüberschreitenden
Kooperation zwischen unseren griechischen
und türkischen Partnerorganisationen. Unser Ziel: Inhaftierte
Schutzsuchende unterstützen, unmenschliche Haftbedingungen
dokumentieren und völkerrechtswidrige Abschiebungen
verhindern.
Das Engagement in der Türkei ergänzt die jahrelange Arbeit
von PRO ASYL in Griechenland. Seit Sommer 2010 ist die
griechisch-türkische Landesgrenze – das sogenannte Evros-
Gebiet – ein Schwerpunkt der Aktivitäten in Griechenland.
Dabei werden Flüchtlinge in diesem Gebiet konkret unterstützt,
vor allem durch rechtliche Beratung und Begleitung.
Darüber hinaus werden die katastrophalen Haftbedingungen
sowie die schwierigen Lebensbedingungen von Schutzsuchenden
dokumentiert. Das Projekt wird in Kooperation
mit lokalen Menschenrechts- und Flüchtlingsorganisationen
in Griechenland und der Türkei umgesetzt.
Der vorliegende Bericht gibt einen Überblick über verschiedene
Recherchen, Ergebnisse einer einwöchigen Delegationsreise
Mitte April 20113 sowie Projektinhalte unserer
Partnerorganisationen…..
Iran & Turkey Feature: Tehran v. Ankara in Battle for Hearts and Minds (Akyol)
Turkish President Erdogan & Supreme LeaderMustafa Akyol writes for Foreign Policy:
In a speech last August, Ayatollah Hashemi Shahroudi, who was Iran’s chief justice from 1999 to 2009 and is now a member of the Guardian Council, argued that “arrogant Western powers are afraid of regional countries’ relations with [Iran].” He went on to assert that, in their fear, those same powers were backing “innovative models of Islam, such as liberal Islam in Turkey,” in order to “replace the true Islam” as practiced by Iran.
Leaving aside his conspiratorial tone, recent developments in the Middle East have somewhat confirmed Shahroudi’s concerns. The Arab Spring has heightened the ideological tension between Ankara and Tehran, and Turkey’s model seems to be winning. Last spring, Iran often claimed that the Arab revolutions were akin to the Iranian one decades before and would usher in similar governments. Yet in Tunisia and Egypt, for the first time, leading figures in mainstream Islamist parties have won elections by explicitly appealing to the “the Turkish model” rather than to an Iranian-style theocracy. What’s more, in December 2011, the Palestinian movement Hamas salted the wound when a spokesman announced the organization’s shift toward “a policy of nonviolent resistance”, which reflected its decision to distance itself from Syria and Iran and to move closer to Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar.

Iranian Labor Leader and Journalist Son in Danger in Turkey; Urge UNHCR to Expedite Case, Grant Asylum and Protection
Bina Darabzand, a leading member of the Consistency Committee to Establish Workers’ Organizations in Iran, and his son Oktai, a journalist and blogger, have recently fled Iran due to threats by the Islamic Republic regime against their lives and security. They have sought refugee status in Turkey; however, they remain under pressure from the Turkish authorities to return to Iran. Given the serious and continuing risk to their lives, we urge UNHCR to expedite the processing of their cases, grant them refugee status as a matter of urgency, and quickly facilitate their resettlement to a safe third country.

The Latest from Iran (14 December): Tehran Loses Another Friend?
1225 GMT: Nuclear Watch. Gholam Reza Jalali, the head of civil defence for the Revolutionary Guards, has said, “If conditions require, we will move uranium enrichment facilities to safer locations.”
At the same time, Jalali reassured, “Our vulnerability in the nuclear field is minimal. If Americans and Israelis were able to attack and harm our nuclear facilities, they would have definitely done so by now.”
Iran’s primary uranium enrichment site at Natanz is partly underground, while the Fordoo complex, revealed in 2009, is deep inside a mountain as a precaution from aerial attacks.

Und sie tun alles für einen Krieg (Iraner): Iran warnt Türkei – Angriff auf Raketenschild denkbar
Teheran (Reuters) – Der Iran schließt einen Angriff auf die Türkei nicht aus, sollten in dem Nachbarland tatsächlich Teile eines Nato-Raketenschutzschirms errichtet werden.
“Wir sind bereit, den Nato-Raketenschild in der Türkei anzugreifen, wenn wir einer Bedrohung ausgesetzt sind, und dann werden wir anderen Zielen nachgehen”, zitierte die halbamtliche Nachrichtenagentur Mehr am Samstag Amir Ali Hadschisadeh, der bei den Revolutionsgarden für Luft- und Raumfahrt zuständig ist.
Die Türkei hatte im September zugestimmt, dass auf ihrem Territorium Teile eines Raketenfrühwarnsystems der Nato errichtet werden können. Die Führung in Teheran vermutet dahinter einen Schachzug der USA: Israel soll vor einem Gegenschlag des Iran geschützt werden, falls es die Atomanlagen der Islamischen Republik angreifen sollte.

Spendenaufruf für die Erdbebenopfer (iranische Flüchtlinge) in der Türkei – Region Van /D-Farsi-ENG
Am Sonntag, 23. Oktober 2011 und am Mittwoch 9. November 2011, hat ein schweres Erdbeben der Stärke 7.2 den Südosten der Türkei im Gebiet um die Stadt VAN erschüttert. Nach Einschätzung von Fachleuten ist dies das schwerste Erdbeben in der Türkei in den vergangenen zehn Jahren und in seiner Stärke vergleichbar mit dem Erdbeben in Haiti 2010.
Mehr als 2.000 Gebäude sind zerstört. Tausende Menschen sind obdachlos, darunter viele iranische Flüchtlinge. Allein in Van leben rund 600 iranische Flüchtlinge. Wieviel Flüchtlinge unter den Toten sind steht bislang nicht fest. Viele Menschen im Erdbebengebiet halten sich aus Angst vor Nachbeben noch im Freien auf. Für sie wurden Suppenküchen eingerichtet. Nachts sinken die Temperaturen in den Ruinen auf bis zu null Grad. Somit sind Schlafsäcke und Zelte besonders wichtig.
Seitdem erreichen uns von iranischen Flüchtlingen zahlreiche Hilferufe aus der Türkei. Die ohnehin mittellosen Flüchtlinge haben nichts mehr, außer der Kleidung die sie tragen.
Aus diesem Grund rufen wir europaweit zu einer Spendenaktion für die Opfer des Erdbebens in der Türkei auf.
Jede Spende geht direkt an die Betroffenen.
Die Flüchtlingshilfe Iran e.V. 2010, zahlreiche iranische Gruppen, Organisationen und Einzelpersonen bitten um Spenden.

روز یکشنبه یکم آبان ماه زلزلهای به شدت ۷،۲ ریشتر برخی از شهرهای استان وان در جنوب شرقی ترکیه را لرزاند. کارشناسان زلزله نگاری دنیا معتقدند این زلزله در طول ده سال گذشته شدیدترین زلزله ترکیه بوده است و آن را با زلزله هایتی در سال ۲۰۱۰ قابل مقایسه دانسته اند. این فاجعه انسانی ویرانی بیش از دو هزار ساختمان، آوره شدن هزار نفر و کشته و زخمی شدن صدها نفر دیگر را به دنبال داشته است. در این میان تعداد تقریبی ششصد پناهجوی ایرانی نیز از محلهای سکونت خود آوره شده و نیاز شدید به اسکان مجدد و انتقال از محل حادثهٔ دارند. از اینکه در میان این افراد کسانی کشته شده باشند اطلاعی در دست نیست. در روزهای گذشته به دلیل وقوع چندین پس لرزه ساکنان شهر وان ناچار شدهاند با وجود سرمای شدید در معابر عمومی به سر ببرند. در حل حاضر مراکز امداد رسانی مشغول توزیع نیازهای اولیه از جمله چادر و کیسههای خواب در بین اوارگان هستند.
در این میان تعداد زیادی از پناهجویان ایرانی که در گذشته نیز از امکانات چندانی برخوردار نبوده اند اینک از حداقل نیازهای روزمره از قبیل خوراک و پوشاک و امکان خروج نیز محروم ماندهاند. در راستای کمک به زلزله زدگان ایرانی شهر وان نهاد ما به همراه تعدادی از فعالان حقوق بشری مستقل خواهان کمکهای فوری از کشورهای اروپای به ترکیه است. این درخواست بر اساس تقاضای پناه جویان ایرانی صورت گرفته و پس از جمع آوری، کمکها به صورت مستقیم به آسیب دیدگان ارسال میشود.

Richter scale occurred in the Van province in Southeastern Turkey. According to Experts, this constitutes the heaviest earthquake in Turkey within the last ten years, comparable in magnitude with the earthquake in Haiti of 2010. More than 2.000 houses were destroyed. Thousands of people lost their homes, among them many Iranian refugees. Roughly 600 Iranian refugees live in the city of Van alone. How many refugees have died, is yet unknown. Out of fear of aftershocks, many survivors have not returned to their homes or taken shelter in buildings thus forced to stay and sleep outdoors. Soup kitchens have been set up. At night, temperatures have dropped beneath the point of freezing. Sleeping bags and tents are therefore urgently needed. Since the earthquake, numerous calls for help from Iranian refugees in Turkey have reached us. Stranded and penniless to begin with, the refugees have nothing left but the clothes they are wearing. Therefore, we call for donations europeanwide to help the victims of the earthquake in Turkey. Every donation goes directly to the hands of a person concerned. Flüchtlingshilfe Iran e.V. 2010, numerous Iranian groups, organizations and individuals, are calling for donations.

Turkey And Iran: The End Of The Affair
One of the more controversial aspects of Turkish foreign policy has been Ankara’s drive to cultivate close ties with Iran. But Turkey’s decision to allow the placement of a NATO radar as part of a missile-defense system, primarily aimed at Iran, has provoked outrage in Tehran. More

Türkei Hilfeaufruf: Mohammad Salehi benötigt dringend medizinische Hilfe
محمد صالحی پناهنده سیاسی ایرانی در شرایط جسمی نامناسبی به سر می برد .
Mohammad Salehi is a political activist and a former political prisoner. He has been arrested and jailed in Iran and beaten and tortured in the hands of Islamic thugs in Iraqi Kurdistan. He is in Turkey now and in a very bad health. His kidneys are damaged due to shotgun hit in one of Isfahan protests. He was then arrested and imprisoned without medical attention. He needs an operation and our friends in Turkey say this will cost 7000 Dollars. The money that he does not have.
Iran: Kurdish displaced families face disease
Iran’s shelling of Iraqi Kurdistan region border areas has displaced hundreds of Kurdish families, a migration group said Monday, voicing fears disease may spread in the camps where they are living.
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said it was aware of 884 Kurdish families that had been displaced along the Iraq-Iran border in Iraq’s northern Kurdish province of Erbil, and said the families were being put up in temporary camps.
“The families are living without electricity in the camps and are suffering from a lack of food,” it said in a statement.
“There is also a fear that disease will spread due to families using nearby streams, which are highly polluted, as their source of water.”
“There have been numerous reports that children within the camps are suffering from acute diarrhoea as a result. Thus, the most pressing need for these families is health checks, medicine and water purification kits.”
The IOM noted that many of the families displaced had relied on farming to survive, and “were particularly affected by the destruction of their land and livestock by the shelling.”

Türkei/Iran starten gemeinsame Tötung von Kurden
Ziel der gemeinsamen Operation dürften Rebellenstützpunkte in den Kandil-Bergen an der iranisch-irakischen Grenze sein.
Der türkische Ministerpräsident Recep Tayyip Erdoganhat eine gemeinsame Offensive der türkischen und iranischen Streitkräfte gegen kurdische Rebellen im Nordirak angekündigt. Beide Länder arbeiteten zusammen und seien entschlossen, sagte er am Sonntag. Es gebe keine Verzögerungen, betonte Erdogan.
Ziel der Operation dürften die Rebellenstützpunkte in den Kandil-Bergen an der iranisch-irakischen Grenze, tief in irakischem Territorium, sein. “Es tut mir leid, das zu sagen, aber es wird einen Preis haben”, sagteErdogan. Ein Teil der kurdischen Rebellen, die für ein autonomes Gebiet im Südosten der Türkei kämpfen, führt von den Kandil-Bergen aus auch Angriffe gegen den Iran durch.

The Turkey-Iran Pact
A hot war has been raging in northern Iraq since mid-July, and despite the casualties and the drama, it has gone virtually unreported by the international media.
The war was launched on July 16 by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) troops in an effort to crush Iranian rebel Kurds who have sought refuge in the 12,000 foot high Qandil mountains that form the border between Iran and Iraq.
It began with cross-border shelling by Iranian artillery, air strikes, and several attempted ground incursions into Iraq by Iranian forces. But within ten days, NATO-ally Turkey openly joined the fray.
Deutsch Türkische Nachrichten: Absage an Erdogan: Iran will keinen gemeinsamen Krieg gegen die PKK
Der iranische Botschafter in der Türkei hat sich gegen gemeinsame Militäroperationen der Türkei und des Iran zur Bekämpfung der PKK ausgesprochen.
Der iranische Botschafter in der Türkei, Bahman Hosseinpour, schloss gemeinsame Militärschläge der Türkei und des Iran gegen die PKK im Nordirak aus. Hosseinpour sagte bei einer Pressekonferenz nach einem Treffen mit Parlamentssprecher Cemil Çiçek am Freitag, dass die PKK und ihre Schwesternorganisation PJAK zwar der gemeinsame Feind beider Länder seien. Dennoch werde man den Kampf gegen diese Organisationen getrennt weiter führen.
Hosseinpour sagte, dass iranische Truppen in diesem Monat bereits 30 kurdische Kämpfer verletzt oder getötet habe. Diese sollen Sabotageakte gegen Pipelines auf iranischem Territorium versucht oder Überfälle durchgeführt haben.
Der türkische Premier Recep Erdogan hat kürzlich angeregt, dass die beiden Länder gemeinsame Militäraktionen gegen die PKK durchführen sollten.
Türkei übernahm Vorsitz im Weltsicherheitsrat – Das Verhältnis Türkei/Iran
Am 1. September 2010 übernahm die Türkei den Vorsitz im Sicherheitsrat der Vereinten Nationen. Der Vorsitz im Weltsicherheitsrat wechselt im Monatsturnus unter den Mitgliedern und in alphabetischer Reihenfolge der englischen Staatenbezeichnungen. [i] Die Beziehungen zwischen der Türkei und dem Iran haben sich in den vergangenen Monaten gefestigt. Die britische Zeitung „Financial Times“ berichtete am 16. August unter Berufung auf eine hochrangige Quelle im Weißen Haus, US-Präsident Barack Obama habe den türkischen Ministerpräsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan vor einem Stopp von Waffenlieferungen aus den USA an die Türkei gewarnt, für den Fall, dass die Türkei ihren Kurs gegenüber dem Iran, Israel und Armenien nicht ändern sollte. Die Vertrauensfrage wurde nach Angaben der Zeitung vor dem Hintergrund der Abstimmung über die jüngste UN-Resolution zu Irans umstrittenen Atomprogramm und den scharfen Vorwürfen der türkischen Regierung an Israel im Zusammenhang mit der „Gaza-Hilfsflotte“ gestellt. Die Türkei hatte im Juli gegen neue Iran-Sanktionen gestimmt und angekündigt, dass sie sich nicht an die Bedingungen der Sanktionen halten werde. [ii] Ein Sprecher im Weißen Haus dementierte den Bericht jedoch umgehend. Die US-Regierung habe der Türkei kein Ultimatum gestellt. [iii]
Tuesdays Until the Islamic Republic Is No More
[FARSI]
We declare Tuesdays as a day of solidarity with the families of political prisoners, and we will continue to show solidarity with the political prisoners and their families on these days until the total and complete overthrow of the Islamic Republic in its entirety, including all its flanks and filthy cliques. On this day of the week, wherever we are, and preferably in front of the Islamic Republic embassies – these houses of terror and crime, these pits of espionage and dissemination of Islamic reactionary ideology – we will remember the political prisoners and show our solidarity and sympathy with them and their families.
We ask honorable people in Iran to go on Tuesdays, with a red rose in hand, and join the families of political prisoners outside the prison gates.
Wednesdays are days of executions. Not that the Islamic Republic doesn’t execute on other days – it does – but in any case, the Islamic headmen prefer Wednesdays for killing people. Perhaps the excitement of taking the life of a human being in the middle of a long work-week reduces the boredom. We too await the day that is coming – and it is a day that is coming very soon. This day could be tomorrow! The day of answering, the day of the peoples’ revolutionary courts, the Court of the Bloody Decade, the court of Khavaran, the court of the Sanandaj garrisons, the Court of Ahwaz, and Anzali (1) and Ghombad (2) and Nekah (3)… the Court of all Iran and all people of Iran.
Especially now that the regime of crimes and atrocities, once again fearing that the day of answering is drawing near has raised the gallows again, our presence and solidarity with the political prisoners and their families are becoming even more important.
Tuesdays are visiting days. Not that every Tuesday the families of the prisoners get to visit their loved ones. The reality is that many families of jailed victims have queued for months or even years behind those closed iron doors without seeing their beloved. They have bowed to and bribed every pasdar and mullah and torturer and basiji, to every expert in rape, lashing, kicks and punches, and to other similar non-entities [without once seeing their beloved]. In any case, Tuesdays are the days that the families of political prisoners gather in front of the prison gates.
Our people are indebted to political prisoners. We are indebted to all of those of today and of yesterday: for being human, for thinking and wanting, for opposing the filth and crimes of the Islamic regime of stray and rabid dogs like Khomeini and Rafsanjani and Khamenei and Khalkhali and Hassani and Mousavi and Ahmadinejad. They have been beaten and broken and put under torture, and yet they continue. And Kahrizaks and Evins are filled with them. Holding Tuesdays of Solidarity, from today until the fall of the Islamic Regime, inside and outside of Iran, in front of the Embassy, side by side with the families in front of the prisons – this is but a little step towards paying the debt that we have to these, our loved ones, political prisoners and their families.
We call Tuesdays the day of solidarity with political prisoners and their families, and until we bring down the gates of Evin, until the freedom of all political prisoners, until the establishment of a government that does not tolerate the suppression of opposing ideas, until the uprooting of this rotting Islamic tumor, and until the establishment of a humane governance, on this day every week we will be a thorn in the side of the Islamic Republic.
(1: Anzali is a major port on the Caspian Sea where the Islamic Republic, in the first days after their counterrevolution, massacred impoverished fisherman who protested against the regime’s rules and regulations that ruined their livelihoods such they could not go fishing. These were very poor fishermen who worked from rowboats. The Islamic Republic opened fire on all of them with machine guns and killed many.)
(2: Ghombad is a place in Iran where Turkman people, who had created their assemblies to democratically conduct their community’s business – schools, cities, water – were attacked by the Islamic Republic. The leaders of the assemblies, who were utterly defenseless, were all arrested and executed directly.)
(3: Nekah is the city where an orphaned 16-year-old girl Atefeh Rajabi was mercilessly executed by the Islamic Republic of Iran.)
