hafizinAlif - 2 perhimpunan saingan berlaku di Athens pada hari Jumaat. Polis menganggarkan 25,000 keluar untuk menyokong 'Tidak' kem, yang memerlukan penolakan perjanjian bailout baru dengan pemiutang dalam referendum Ahad ini, manakala 20,000 berkumpul bagi menyokong undi "Ya".

Perdana Menteri Greece, Alexis Tsipras, yang telah memanggil referendum minggu lepas untuk menambah lebih berat kepada kedudukannya berunding dengan pemiutang, menangani "Tidak" demonstrasi di hadapan Parlimen Yunani.

‘No’ and ‘Yes’ bailout referendum rallies 

gather thousands in Athens . . .

Two rival rallies took place in Athens on Friday. Police estimate that 25,000 came out to support the ‘No’ camp, which calls for the rejection of a new bailout deal with creditors in Sunday’s referendum, while 20,000 gathered to back the “Yes” vote.

Greece’s Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, who called the referendum last week to add more weight to his position in talks with creditors, addressed the “No” demonstration in front of the Greek parliament.

Beliau menggesa orang ramai untuk mengatakan dgn "bangga Tidak untuk kata dua dan orang-orang yang mengancam anda," berkata pungutan suara Ahad adalah kira-kira "yang tinggal di Eropah, dan membuat keputusan untuk hidup secara terhormat di Eropah."

He urged the crowd to say a “proud No to ultimatums and those who terrorize you,” saying Sunday’s plebiscite is about “staying in Europe, and deciding to live in dignity in Europe.”

Tetapi tidak kira keputusannya, undi akan menjadi "perayaan demokrasi," katanya.

"Tidak" perhimpunan dicemari dengan pertempuran ringkas antara polis dan penunjuk perasaan di dataran di sebelah Syntagma. Pasukan keselamatan terpaksa menggunakan bom tangan setrum dan semburan lada untuk menyuraikan belia agresif beberapa dozen, yang membaling batu dan merosakkan harta benda.

But no matter the outcome, the vote will be a “celebration of democracy,” he added.

The “No” rally was marred by brief clashes between police and protestors in a square next to Syntagma. Security forces had to use stun grenades and pepper spray to disperse a few dozen aggressive youths, who were throwing rocks and vandalizing property.

Jumaat adalah hari terakhir berkempen referendum sebelum 5 Julai untuk menentukan jika Greece perlu menerima tuntutan pemiutang 'untuk lebih penjimatan dengan ganjaran lebih banyak pinjaman.

Satu tinjauan yang diterbitkan oleh akhbar Untuk Ethnos pada 3 Julai, hanya 2 hari lebih awal daripada referendum, menunjukkan bahawa "Ya" dan "Tidak" kem berjalan leher dan leher.

Daripada mereka yang ditinjau, 41.5 % peratus berkata mereka akan menyokong terma bailout dan 40.2 % peratus berkata mereka akan menolak mereka, manakala selebihnya masih belum membuat keputusan atau merancang untuk tidak mengundi sama sekali.

Jika undi Yunani 'Ya,' kerajaan sekarang mungkin untuk meletak jawatan dan rakyat perlu menerima langkah-langkah penjimatan yang keras yang dikenakan oleh Troika yang pemiutang.

Pegawai EU dan pembangkang Yunani telah memberi amaran bahawa 'Tidak' undi mungkin akan membawa kepada keluar Greece dari zon euro dan berpotensi EU, meningkatkan soalan mengenai daya maju mata wang euro.

Rundingan antara Greece dan pemiutangnya telah terhenti sejak akhir Jun, selepas Eurogroup enggan memanjangkan program bantuan kewangan untuk Greece atau bayaran kelewatan hutang lebih awal.

Friday was the last day of campaigning before the July 5 referendum to decide if Greece should accept its creditors’ demands for more austerity in return for more loans.

A poll published by To Ethnos newspaper on July 3, just two days ahead of the referendum, showed that the “Yes” and the “No” camps were running neck and neck.

Of those surveyed, 41.5 percent said they would back the bailout terms and 40.2 percent said they would reject them, while the rest remained undecided or planned to abstain from voting altogether.

If the Greeks vote ‘Yes,’ the current government is likely to resign and the people will have to accept the harsh austerity measures imposed by its Troika of creditors.

EU officials and the Greek opposition have warned that a ‘No’ vote would likely lead to Greece’s exit from the eurozone and potentially the EU, raising questions about the viability of the euro currency.

The talks between Greece and its creditors have stalled since the end of June, after the Eurogroup declined to prolong a financial aid program for Greece or delay payments on earlier debts.

Penjimatan yang cukup? Greece selepas ketat tali pinggang 5 tahun . . .

Reuters/Yiannis Liakos

Kesatuan Eropah dan institusi kewangan telah menolak dasar berjimat cermat di Greece sejak 5 tahun lepas. Pengangguran yang tinggi, lebih banyak cukai, berbilion-bilion euro melarikan diri, dan peningkatan dalam kes bunuh diri bermakna Yunani pada hari Ahad perlu memutuskan jika cukup cukup.

Apa yang berlaku?

Pada bulan Januari, Syriza parti berhaluan kiri yang dipimpin oleh Perdana Menteri Alexis Tsipras berjanji untuk menamatkan tahun langkah-langkah penjimatan tanpa meninggalkan zon euro.

RT menunjukkan anda apa yang telah berlaku kepada ekonomi Yunani semasa era penjimatan.

1 - "Dalam 5 tahun di Greece, kami telah memotong pencen sebanyak 44 % peratus, mengurangkan gaji sektor swasta sebanyak 32 % peratus, memusnahkan pasaran kerja, memecahkan negara kebajikan, berdarah pekerja dan kelas menengah kering dengan cukai, dan mencapai satu dan satu setengah juta menganggur di negara yang mempunyai penduduk yang aktif 6 juta, "kata Alexis Tsipras dalam satu temu bual dengan akhbar Itali Corriere della Sera.

Enough austerity? Greece after 5 years 

of belt tightening . . .

The EU and its financial institutions have been pushing an austerity policy on Greece for the last five years. High unemployment, more taxes, billions of euros fleeing, and an increase in suicides mean Greeks on Sunday have to decide if enough is enough.

What happened?

Greek debt negotiations have been fruitless for five months. Creditors wanted economic reforms in return for bailout money, but Syriza refused to budge on key election promises.

RT shows you what has happened to the Greek economy during the era of austerity.

1 - “In five years in Greece, we have cut pensions by 44 percent, reduced private sector pay by 32 percent, destroyed the job market, smashed the welfare state, bled employees and the middle class dry with taxes, and reached one and a half million unemployed in a country with an active population of six million,” Alexis Tsipras said in an interview with an Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

100 peratus IN/OUT pilihan diberikan kepada Greece adalah 'dilema palsu' - euro arkitek kepada RT

Terdapat penyelesaian yang ke-3 di kedai untuk Greece, ianya boleh mempunyai 2 mata wang secara selari yang akan menstabilkan ekonomi, Bernard Lietaer, bersama pereka mata wang Eropah, memberitahu RT.

"Greece boleh menjadi peserta dalam euro untuk pelancongan dan perkapalan yang merupakan sektor terbesar dalam ekonomi. Pada masa yang sama, ia boleh mempunyai beberapa dram baru yang sedang bermain dengan peraturan yang berbeza dan yang menyediakan keupayaan untuk menghidupkan kembali ekonomi di peringkat akar umbi, "katanya.

Ada pun duluan negara-negara yang mempunyai 2 mata wang, menurut Lietaer.

Selama 8 puluh tahun Switzerland berjaya digunakan franc Switzerland dan apa yang dipanggil mata wang 'perniagaan-ke-perniagaan, katanya. Di Great Britain, syarikat tempatan mempunyai hak untuk memilih sama ada untuk mempunyai kira-kira kunci dan cukai yang dibayar dalam pound atau euro, kata Lietaer.

100 percent IN/OUT choice given to Greece is ‘false dilemma’ - euro architect to RT . . .

There is a third solution in store for Greece, it could have two currencies in parallel that would stabilize the economy, Bernard Lietaer, co-designer of the European currency, told RT.

“Greece could be participant in the euro for tourism and shipping which are the largest sectors of the economy. At the same time it could have some new drachma which is playing by different rules and which is providing capacity to reanimate the economy at the grassroots level,” he said.

There have already been precedents of countries having two currencies, according to Lietaer.

For eighty years Switzerland successfully used the Swiss franc and a so-called ‘business-to-business’ currency, he said. In Great Britain, domestic companies have the right to choose whether to have balance sheets and taxes paid in pounds or euro, Lietaer added.

Bercakap mengenai survival mungkin Greece di luar zon euro itu, beliau berkata Iceland merupakan contoh terbaik 'ortodoks' pengurusan krisis. Negara keluar dari krisis kewangan 2007-2008 dengan mengenakan kawalan aliran tunai yang ketat, membiarkan bank-bank muflis dan memenjarakan bank.

Speaking on Greece’s possible survival outside the eurozone, he said Iceland was a perfect example of ‘unorthodox’ crisis management. The country came out of the financial crisis of 2007-2008 by imposing strict cash flow controls, letting the banks go bankrupt and incarcerating bankers.

Tanpa mudah tunai tambahan dari pemiutang, bank Yunani boleh tinggal tertutup untuk masa yang lama. Greece boleh lalai seperti Argentina pada 2014, tetapi perjanjian masih dapat dicapai, Lieater disimpulkan.

Without extra liquidity from the creditors, Greek banks can stay closed for a long time. Greece could default like Argentina in 2014, but an agreement still can be reached, Lieater summed up.

ECB menolak permintaan untuk meningkatkan bantuan mudah tunai kecemasan (ELA) €89 billion ke Greece dengan sebesar € 6 bilion untuk menangani penerbangan deposit. Ini membawa kepada bank Yunani penutup dan pengenalan had ke atas pengeluaran ATM untuk € 60 sehari.

Pada hari Khamis, pengeluaran wang tunai di seluruh negara mencecah €3,000 per saat, sementara ramai ATM telah dikosongkan, media melaporkan.

Perdana Menteri Yunani Alexis Tsipras telah memberi jaminan kepada bank-bank akan dibuka semula pada Selasa selepas referendum pada langkah-langkah penjimatan pemiutang'.

Tsipras telah berulang kali telah mengatakan bahawa mengundi 'Tidak' pada referendum tidak membayangkan yang keluar Yunani dari zon euro; ia akan memberi peluang untuk tawaran yang lebih baik dari Troika.

The ECB turned down a request to increase the €89 billion emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) to Greece by an additional €6 billion to tackle deposit flight. This led to Greek banks closing and the introduction of a limit on ATM withdrawals to €60 a day.

On Thursday, cash withdrawals nationwide hit €3,000 per second, while many ATMs were emptied, media reported.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has assured the banks would reopen on Tuesday after the referendum on creditors’ austerity measures.

Tsipras has repeatedly been saying that voting ‘No’ at the referendum doesn’t imply a Greek exit from the eurozone; it would give an opportunity for a better offer from the Troika.

POLIS Armenia BERSUMPAH untuk kekal selama protes AMAN . . .

Penunjuk perasaan melaungkan slogan semasa perhimpunan terhadap keputusan baru-baru ini untuk menaikkan harga elektrik awam di Yerevan, Armenia, 23 Jun 2015 (Protesters shout slogans during a rally against a recent decision to raise public electricity prices in Yerevan, Armenia, June 23, 2015 (Reuters/Hrant Khachatryan/PAN Photo) 

SEMASA - Penunjuk perasaan di Yerevan telah bermalam lagi di jalan-raya di ibu negara Armenia, menghadapi kehadiran polis, yang telah berjanji untuk tidak menggunakan kekerasan selagi orang ramai rali daripada kenaikan harga elektrik kekal aman.

Penunjuk perasaan, yang telah menyekat jalan dengan tong-tong sampah, terus menuntut pembatalan yang 17 % peratus kenaikan harga elektrik yang disebabkan oleh berkuat kuasa pada 1 Ogos Mereka telah menolak untuk bertemu dengan Presiden Armenia Serzh Sargsyan untuk membincangkan masalah mereka, dan sebaliknya mereka memilih untuk terus ‘Sit-IN’ yang bermula Jumaat lepas.

Sebagai perhimpunan tersebut (yang tidak diberi kuasa oleh majlis perbandaran) berterusan, polis di bandar berjanji untuk tidak menggunakan kekerasan selagi bantahan terus aman. Tetapi unit polis telah meningkatkan kehadiran mereka, kekal berjaga-jaga yang tinggi, dan sekiranya berlaku provokasi atau kecemasan, telah berjanji untuk menggunakan sumber yang ada pada mereka untuk menyuraikan penunjuk perasaan.

Menurut penganjur ketua bantahan daripada Armenian Polis Vladimir Gasparyan berjanji tidak akan mengambil apa-apa tindakan terhadap penunjuk perasaan, kerana dia melawat kem itu dalam usaha untuk 'deescalate' keadaan, Sputnik melaporkan. Sebelum itu pada hari Rabu, Timbalan Ketua Yerevan ini Polis Negara, Hunan Poghosyan berkata walaupun protes aman, pegawai-pegawai penguatkuasa undang-undang tidak akan menggunakan kekerasan.

OSCE telah pula menyuarakan kebimbangan ke atas komitmen pihak berkuasa Armenia 'untuk melindungi hak-hak penunjuk perasaan kerana mereka terus untuk menyekat jalan utama di ibu negara Armenia, untuk malam yang ke-3 berturut-turut.

"Armenia, seperti semua OSCE menyertai Syarikat, telah sepakat untuk melindungi dan menggalakkan hak kebebasan berhimpun secara aman dan mesti menghormati sepenuhnya hak-hak penunjuk perasaan di Yerevan untuk melaksanakan kebebasan ini," kata Michael Georg Link, Pengarah Pejabat OSCE Institusi Demokratik dan Hak Asasi Manusia (ODIHR).

Pengarah juga menggesa "berat sebelah" Siasatan ke dalam pertempuran yang berlaku pada pagi Selasa apabila polis menghalang orang ramai daripada berarak ke atas bangunan kerajaan dan orang ramai bersurai. "Langkah Polis telah menjadi sah, perlu dan seimbang," kata Link.

Sementara itu Moscow berharap bahawa jawapan akan didapati krisis dalam pematuhan ketat dengan undang-undang Armenia.

"Kami berharap bahawa jawapan akan didapati semua masalah dalam pematuhan ketat dengan undang-undang Armenia. Kami ingin keamanan dan kemakmuran ke Armenia. Kami juga ingin untuk menyelesaikan semua perbezaan, "kata jurucakap Kremlin Dmitry Peskov.

Menjadi yang rapat sekutu Rusia, bersempadan dengan negara-negara yang bermusuhan, Armenia berada dalam kedudukan yang mudah terjejas, penganalisis geopolitik John Wight percaya. Walaupun keadaan di Armenia datang sebagai hasil daripada "gila pasaran bebas," Wight berkata krisis dalaman dengan cepat boleh bertukar menjadi satu geopolitik.

"Tidak perlu menjadi beberapa jenis campur tangan [oleh kerajaan Armenian] untuk mengimbangi atau memperbaiki kenaikan ini dalam harga, jika tidak, krisis politik dan ekonomi dalam negeri yang agak cepat boleh meningkat menjadi krisis geopolitik, memandangkan lokasi strategik Armenia di Caucasus Selatan dan kecenderungan Barat untuk melibatkan dirinya dalam perkara-perkara seperti itu, "Wight kepada RT. "Barat, seperti yang kita lihat, telah menunjukkan kesanggupan dan keinginan untuk campur tangan dalam hal ini, terutamanya apabila ia melibatkan Rusia."

Tanpa mengira sama ada tolak awal lagi bagi orang-orang Armenia untuk memukul di jalan-raya adalah sah atau tidak, beberapa kuasa luar, khususnya Amerika Syarikat, tidak akan terlepas peluang untuk mencuba dan mengubahnya untuk faedah mereka, percaya Dr Paul Craig Roberts, bekas Penolong Setiausaha Perbendaharaan Amerika Syarikat untuk dasar ekonomi.

"Ini bantahan tertentu, mereka mungkin tidak bersalah, mungkin ada bantahan yang sah. Tetapi, jika ia adalah, Washington akan berusaha untuk menjadikannya lebih, "Roberts memberitahu RT. "Tetapi, jika ia adalah satu perkara yang sah untuk membantah, ia tidak bermakna bahawa Washington tidak akan melompat ke atasnya dan mengubahnya untuk tujuan sendiri."

"Kadang-kadang Washington akan berasal protes, masa yang lain ia menunggu selama satu hingga berlaku," kata Roberts. "Kemudian ia meletakkan NGO dan pelbagai berbayar untuk ahli-ahli politik tempatan ke dalam campuran, dan kami melihat ini sempurna di Ukraine. Dan ia berlaku di Georgia. Semua ini revolusi warna yang dipanggil adalah hasil daripada National Endowment for Democracy pembiayaan NGO di negara-negara. "

"Itulah yang berlaku, dan rakyat perlu sedar daripadanya," Roberts memberi amaran. "Jadi, apa yang mereka perlu lakukan: mengawal selia NGO ini, atau menonton mereka, atau menamatkan pembiayaan asing? Saya tidak tahu, tetapi mereka perlu sedar bahawa apa yang mereka digunakan untuk. Mereka tidak berada di sana untuk mengajar demokrasi dan hak asasi manusia. "

Walaupun Armenia adalah titik padang strategik antara Rusia, Iran dan Turki, bagi ramai orang "jika anda berkata Armenia mereka tidak tahu di mana ia adalah pada peta,"  wartawan penyiasatan Tony Gosling percaya.

"Tetapi itu adalah sebahagian daripada permainan itu di sini," Gosling kepada RT, mengingatkan pendengarnya pelbagai demonstrasi jalanan yang sama selama bertahun-tahun yang lalu, dengan Ukraine sebagai contoh "klasik". "Apa yang penting adalah untuk melihat bantahan: adakah ini protes tulen atau adakah ia sedang dirancang dari luar?

Sit-in protest or picnic?

7:10 AM - 25 Jun 2015

Armenia police vow to stay put as long as protests remain peaceful . . .

Protesters in Yerevan have spent another night on the streets of Armenian capital, facing an increased police presence, who have promised to refrain from using force as long as the crowd rallying against electricity price hikes remains peaceful.

Protesters, who have blocked off the road with garbage cans, continue to demand the cancellation of a 17 percent electricity price hike that is due to take effect on August 1. They have refused to meet with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to discuss their grievances, and instead chose to continue their sit-in that started last Friday.

As the rally (which had not been authorized by the municipality) continues, police in the city promised to refrain from using force as long as the protest remains peaceful. But police units have beefed up their presence, remain on high alert, and in the event of provocations or an emergency, have promised to use the means at their disposal to disperse the protesters.

According to organizers of the protest chief of Armenian Police Vladimir Gasparyan promised not to take any action against the protesters, as he visited the camp in an effort to deescalate the situation, Sputnik reports. Earlier on Wednesday, Yerevan's Deputy Chief of Police, Hunan Poghosyan said that while the protest was peaceful, law enforcement officers will not use force.

The OSCE has meanwhile voiced its concerns over Armenian authorities’ commitment to protecting the rights of the demonstrators as they continue to block a major road in Armenia's capital, for the third night in a row.

“Armenia, like all OSCE participating States, has committed itself to protect and promote the fundamental freedom of peaceful assembly, and must fully respect the rights of the protesters in Yerevan to exercise this freedom,” said Michael Georg Link, Director of the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).

The director also urged “impartial” investigation into the clashes that took place on Tuesday morning when police prevented the crowd from marching on government buildings and dispersed the crowd. “Police measure has to be legitimate, necessary and proportionate,” Link said.

Meanwhile Moscow hopes that answers will be found to the crisis in strict compliance with Armenian laws.

“We hope that answers will be found to all the problems in strict compliance with Armenian laws. We wish peace and prosperity to Armenia. We also wish it to settle all the differences,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Being a close Russia’s ally bordered by hostile countries, Armenia is in a very vulnerable position, believes geopolitical analyst John Wight. While the situation in Armenia comes as a result of the “insanity of the free market,” Wight says internal crisis can quickly turn into a geopolitical one.

“There will have to be some kind of intervention [by Armenian government] to offset or ameliorate this hike in price, otherwise the domestic political and economic crises could quite quickly escalate to become a geopolitical crisis, given Armenia’s strategic location in the South Caucasus and the West’s propensity for involving itself in such matters,” Wight told RT. “The West, as we have seen, has shown a willingness and an eagerness to intervene in these matters, especially when it involves Russia.”

Regardless of whether the initial push for Armenian people to hit the streets was legitimate or not, some outside forces, particularly the United States, will not miss a chance to try and turn it to their advantage, believes Dr Paul Craig Roberts, the former US assistant secretary of the Treasury for economic policy.

“This particular protest, they might be innocent, there may be a legitimate protest. But even if it is, Washington will make an effort to turn it into more,” Roberts told RT. “But even if it is a legitimate thing to protest, it does not mean that Washington won’t jump on it and turn it to its own purpose.”

“Sometimes Washington will originate the protest, other times it waits for one to happen,” Roberts said. “And then it puts its NGOs and various paid-for local politicians into the mix, and we saw this perfectly in Ukraine. And it happened in Georgia. All of these so-called color revolutions are a product of the National Endowment for Democracy funding of the NGOs in those countries.”

“That’s what going on, and people need to be aware of it,” Roberts warned. “So, what do they have to do: regulate these NGOs, or watch them, or terminate the foreign funding? I don’t know, but they need to be aware that is what they are used for. They are not there to teach democracy and human rights.”

While Armenia is a strategic pitch point between Russia, Iran and Turkey, for many people “if you say Armenia they don’t even know where it is on the map,” believes investigative journalist Tony Gosling.

“But that is part of the game here,” Gosling told RT, reminding his audience of numerous similar street protests over the past years, with Ukraine being a “classic” example. “The crucial thing is to look at the protest: is this a genuine protest or is it being orchestrated from outside?

During a three minute broadcast slot allocated to Wilder's Freedom Party, the politician promoted the “freedom of speech” action by presenting a slideshow of Mohammad ShallallahuAlayhiWaaSallam cartoons accompanied by piano music.

According to the right-wing politician, he assumed the responsibility for revealing to the world the taboo nature of Islam after visiting the exhibition in May in the USA. The broadcast coincided with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

“The only way to show terrorists that they are not going to win is to do exactly what they do not want us to do,” Wilders said. “I do not broadcast the cartoons to provoke; I do it because we have to show that we stand for freedom of speech and that we will never surrender to violence. Freedom is our birthright. Freedom of speech must always prevail over violence and terror.”
