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

i.Borneo - 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

i.Borneo - 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).

4:20 PM - 23 Apr 2016

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

Andrea Molino ‎@Andrea__Molino

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.
