*Strasbourg/Angelo Marcopolo/- Most Medias curiously Skiped the Arguments against a Natural, but for an Artificial set up of the Virus by a Lab, that Nobel Prize Biology+Virology Professor Luc Montagnier (the co-Discoverer of HIV) just used at his 2 First Interviews in France, (one Short, in a Radio, and anOther Long, in a TV), as well as his Concluding Appeal for Respect of Bio-Ethical Rules World-wide, in order to Prevent Other such Deadly Pandemics etc. in the Future, (See infra).

A very Interesting point is that Professor Montagnier already REPLIED, with several Concrete Arguments, to the Fast-Track, mostly Superficial Criticism and Dismissal of his Findings, by Many Commentators from the Establishment, which immediately Attacked him even Personally, obviously Pushing Most Medias to Drop any really Full Presentation of his Sayings "on the Facts", thus Depriving the People from a Real Chance to clearly Judge where the Truth might be...

This appears so more Scandalously Anti-Deontological for the Press, and Anti-Democratic in general, as Montagnier clearly Distinguished between "the FACTS", (which concern the Artificial Fabrication of the Virus by a Lab, and the Need to respect Bio-Ethical Rules), and his "THOUGHTS", "Beliefs" or Hypothesis, (related to "Who and Why" made that Virus, What might happen in the foreseable Future, and what "Solution" could be given to try to Prevent so many Deaths), as we shall see Infra.

Moreover, he Denounced that some in the Establishment attempt to Hide the Truth.

----------------------

(1) AN ARTIFICIAL FABRICATION BY A LAB and PRESSURE TO MUZZLE THE TRUTH                                                                                                                                                                       

 It's by working Together with his Collegue, Bio-Mathematician Jean-Claude Perez, and Following a relevant Publication also by an Indian Group of Researchers (See Infra), that Professor Montagnier, a Biologist and Virologist himself, claims to have Found the following Facts, about an Artificial Fabrication of COVID-19 Virus by a Lab :

 - "My Work is just to State the Facts, that's all" :

- That Virus' Genome includes "a Sequence of HIV, but also of Malaria", etc.

- In fact, "Over a Classic Virus' genome, has been Added a Part with a series, a Sequence of HIV".

- This is "Not Natural", but "the Job of a Molecular Biologist. A Professional Work. Very Delicate. Like Watch-Craft", he stressed.

- "It's Not a Natural Mutation, because, in order to be made, it Needs Molecular Tools, a Lab", he warned

+ "That HIV Part is Not just Anything : F.ex., it includes a Key Part", (which might act like a Vaccine against anOther Virus, etc).

=> "Conclusion : A (Genetic) Manipulation was at the Origin of that Virus".

- It canNot be Natural, because "there is a Concentration : Accross a Long Ruban of 30.OOO Bases, all that (Addition) is Concentrated in just Less than 1.000 Basis" : "A Part made by HIV", that "you can Find with a Mathematical Tool".

=> - "But it's Enough in order to Modify what is called an "Anti-Gene Site" : I.e. Modify that Virus' Protein, in order to make the Immunity System recognize (perceive) it as a HIV".

- To those who claim that these Sequences would be "Too Short, so that they could be Natural", "there is a Reply : - But, those Sequences bear a certain Genetic Information, (i.e. with a Functional Logic : Comp. Supra), and are Not Random, Contrary to those who Claim that it would be due to Pure Chance"...

- In fact, "It's a Sequence of Nucleotides", and "there are 4.000 Different Nucleotides... So that it canNot be just by Chance !", he smiled.

- And, "Put a Natural Object, Inside anOther Natural Object", is Not so "Natural", he clearly implied...

- All "these are Facts. They canNot be Denied", he stressed.

- Obviously, "this is a CoronaVirus, transmitted by Aerian way".

 - However, "if one works on (i.e. Manipulates) the ... Surface of a Virus, he can Modify its Tropism, so that it could Attack anOther kind of Cells than before", Professor Montagnier observed.

- Because, (in Labos) "Everything is Possible Nowadays. In Molecular Biology, they can Make Any Virus they Like !", he Warned.

=> So that, f.ex., Professor Montagnier agreed with a Question on whether "it's Possible that this Virus' High Contagion capacity might be Linked to its Artificial Fabrication" :

- Very Probably, he Replied : "Because the Virus' Transmission is related to a Link between its Protein and a Receptor in Cells, so that, More that Virus Finds Receptors, More it will Stick and Penetrate, Transmitting (Genetic) Information inside" those cells.

+ And to another Question, whether "this Virus does Exploit a Weakening of our Immunity System", he also Replied Positively :

 -  "Indeed, I Believe that we are living in an Environment very much Different from that of our Ancestors, f.ex. by Augmenting (Electro-Magnetic) Waves, more and more : That's an Issue which should be Explored". F.ex., we saw that Wuhan's Region was advanced in "G5" Networks, with 10.000 Antennas there ! This might have contributed in Spreading such a Malign Virus"...

------------------------------

+ But, it seems that "there is a Will to Hide the Truth !", about this Artificial Fabrication of the Virus in a Lab, Professor Montagnier Denounced.

=> F.ex., an "Indian Group" of Researchers, who had Recently Published a relevant Article in a Sientific Review, suprizingly, afterwards, "were Obliged to Withdraw" their publication...

+ And, "in China, someone Must put a Signature before Any such Publication" on the Virus. However, "My Role is Not to Evaluate China", and, at any case, "China canNot Control All the World"...

- But "there is a Will to Muzzle",  as "they Forced the Indian Research Group to Retract", after "Pressure by the Editors", etc., just "Weeks ago".

=> Thus, indeed, "there can be Pressure from All International and National" (+other) "Organisations which have an Interest to Hide the Truth", Professor Montagnier warned.

- In general, "there is a Huge Pressure to make a Black-Out on this Virus' Origin".

- "I do Not Know" for "which Interests", But "these are Facts", and "they canNot be Denied".

- But, on the Contrary, "I Can work Freely", because, inter alia, "I am a Nobel Prize" winner, and "there is No Pressure able to Influence me ... Nothing can Pressure me  !", Professor Montagnier boasted, proudly and bravely, (already Known for Daring to Support also various Other Controversial or Risky positions in "Hot" Scientific Debates in the Past).

Nevertheless, in the Past, Montagnier has been even Personally Attacked himself by several other Establishment's top Technocrats, as he claims, Because he "had Defended another Scientist, on a Controversial Issue, that many seeked to Cover-up, Hindering (Scientific) Research", and even "Ill-Treating him", he Replied to a Critical Question, meanwhile.

-----------------------------

(2) UNKNOWN CREATOR + AIM

- However, "I do NOT Know WHO Created that, and WHY", he clearly pointed out.

- "The Aim is Not Clear", Professor Montagnier Carefuly stressed from the outset.

- "Only those who Made that (Virus), could, One Day, tell the Truth (about their real Aim)".

- But, "a Possibility is, perhaps, that Someone might have attempted to create a Vaccine against anOther Virus", etc, he Speculated, apparently Downplaying the issue...

- However, "I doN't know the Aim", and "I doN"t Blame Anyone".

- But, eventually, "a Vaccine is initialy Tested on Animals". And "there Might be a Leakage by Someone who Manipulates that, and doesn't take Precautions", he speculated.

- Thus, it's not excluded that "this Virus was Created by the Chinese Labo of Wuhan, or anOther Labo", Elsewhere.

 Interestingly, at his 2nd and Longest INTW, Professor Montagnier made it Crystal-Clear that his "Fact"-Based Analysis (Comp. Supra), a priori, was Not Necessarily Limited Only at China's Lab in Wuhan, But concerned, rather, Simply the Virus' Fabrication "By A Lab", whatever.

- At any case, even if it might have been made at Wuhan, "It's Not Only China" who could be Responsible, because "there was also Important Funding and, may be, even Scientists from the USA, in these Researches".

- USA have Financed a part of what was being done inside Wuhan Labo. So, this is Not Only a Chinese affair !"...

[ He apparently evoked at least a 3,7 Millions $ Grant by USA's NIH to Wuhan's Bio Lab, during Former POTUS Barack Hussein Obama, on 2015, recently Reminded at a 2020 Press Conference of Trump at the White House on the Virus.

Might be Added also the Recent Arrest (1/2020) of a Harvard's Dean on Chemistry/Biology  for Hidding big Payments by China in order, inter alia, to help Select and Recruit Scientists for Projects of Wuhan's Bio-Lab.

+Moreover, Wuhan's Lab has been Build by a French Company, and a Similar Lab ("Level 4")exists at France's Lyon City, located Between Strasbourg and NW Italy, while Relations exist also with the Head of INSERM, the National Organisation for Medical Research.

++ And a Big Corporation, Headquartered in Australia, has also Invested heavily in Plasma Fabricators at Wuhan, since 2015, while Plasma's AntiCorps became, Nowadays, a Leading Hypothesis for a possible Medical Treatment of the Virus, both in China and Elsewhere in the World, (including, particularly, the USA, etc).

+++ Last, but not least, the existence of very Close Links between some Chinese Researchers and strong USA Networks in Bio-Tech. Issues concerning particulaly Genetic Manipulations, was Recently revealed, inter alia, Also by the Scandal, on Automn 2019, of a Young Chinese Doctor who secretly practiced controversial Genetic Manipulations of Human Embryos, and even 3 Artificial Births of Babies bearing Genetic Mutations Heritable by Future Generations, (i.e. Abusing of an outlawed  Technology Dangerous for all Humankind), while being Educated, Funded, Publicized, closely Linked and Otherwise Backed by some Rich and Powerful Bio-Tech and Socio-Political Lobbies of the USA, related to Former POTUS Barack Hussein Obama ("Socialist"/Liberal : See, among others, f.ex., also : ..., etc, as well as Infra)].

=> At any case, "China is also a Victim of that" Virus, Professor Montagnier reminded.

-----------------------------------

(3) Possible FUTURE + SOLUTION

=> AnOther Striking Point is that, precisely, the Artificial Origin of that Virus, (Comp. Supra), Might, perhaps, give some "Hope" that it could "Disappear" progressively, by Natural means, Professor Montagnier, optimisticaly speculated :  

+ Indeed, "My Collegue Perez (a Bio-Mathematician) Believes that there is a kind of Harmonisation  : If you make an abnatural fabrication, it has few chances to survive. I.e. Nature likes Harmony, and Not a Virus made by anOther Virus, etc", he said.

- "So, what is happening Nowadays, f.ex. in some USA's areas, seems to be that Virus' Mutations are Deleting a part of those Nucleotides inside its Genome, and, what is ExtraOrdinary, is that this Part of HIV Sequence is currently Mutating much More and Faster than Anyone Other"....

- So that, "mainly in USA's Eastern Coast, at Seattle, that Sequence has almost been Demolished !".

=> In Consequence, "one may think that it would Disappear"...

>>> So, "there is a Glimpse of a HOPE", (and "this is My 2nd Message") !

 - In Practice, "we must Follow the Genetic Mutations of the Virus", (which are, usually, frequent, amidst Transmissions), in order to verify the "Prediction" that it would become "more and more Mutated, Deleted", so that "its Hardest Consequences would Fade away..."

 - Thus, "what is More Important, Nowadays, for All of us, is not just How this Virus appeared, (Comp. Supra), but What will Happen Now ? And, there, I give you a Glimpse of Hope that this Virus might Disappear... "

"Seattle" Lake's flat Rainbow, USA, April 2020 - "a Glimpse of Hope" ?...

(Cessna Kutz Photo/NE/Eurofora screenshot)

-----------------------------------------------

But thus might happen too Late for several Victims of the virus...

- Even in case of an eventual, Gradual Weakening and/or "Disappearance" of that Virus (Comp. Supra), Meanwhile, too "Many People are Dying", Every Day.

- So that we obviously have to search "a Solution" for Nowadays, asap, went-on to Add Professor Montagnier.

=> - "For a Solution, a Pioneer Approach that I have, is that Electro-Magnetic Waves may Transform the Frequences of that (Artificial Genetic) Sequence, as an Alien Body, (Comp. Supra), and, may be, we could Distinguish it from the Rest of that Virus, and Destroy it with Electric Pulses", he imagined.

 - But, "for the Time being, this is just a <<Science Fiction>> story, because I must have the (material) Means to make that. Otherwise..."

(NDLR: Professor Montagnier is also Famous for a Controversial Theory concerning Electro-Magnetic Waves and Human Genome, in general).

-------------------------------------------------

(4) NEED for BIO-ETHICal RULES respect

>>> At any case, in order to Prevent Other such Pandemics in the Future, "we Must, absolutely Exclude that something like this might be Repeated, in one way or another. That's Obvious !"

- "Certainly, there are Rules" (to observe, for Bio-Technocrats), "But it's Not Probable that they might be Observed by Everybody accross the World", he Warned...

=> "So, I think that Everybody Must Respect the ETHICAL Rules for (Bio-Tech) Researchers", NOBEL Prize winner, Professor Montagnier stressed in Conclusion.

  - "As there are also Ethical Rules for Medical Doctors, to Never Kill by any Medical Treatment : That's Really Fundamental !"

 + *** By a striking Coincidence, China was announced as Hit by Deadly CoronaVirus (on December 31, 2019), just 1 Day After having Published (on December 30, 2019) a Strong Punishment and Denonciation for the UnEthical and Dangerous for Humankind, Heritable Genetic Manipulation of 3 Babies born Artificially, secretely arranged by a Young Chinese Doctor Educated, Funded, Backed and Influenced mainly by some USA Bio-Tech Lobbies linked to Former POTUS Barack Hussein Obama (of the "Socialist"/Liberal Party : See Facts at http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/chinacondemnsheritablegeneediting.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/heritablegenemaniptrumpxihumanity.html, etc).

Meanwhile, in Addition, inter alia, even a Harvard University's Dean on Chemistry and Biology was Recently Arrested and Persecuted by New USA President Don Trump's Administration, just a Few Months Ago, officially for curiously Hidding the Fact that he was Paid by some Foreign, Chinese Authorities, inter alia, also to help Find and Recruit Scientists, from all over the World, needed for certain undisclosed Projects at the Bio-Lab of Wuhan... (even if there is Not yet any official Explicit link to CoronoVirus made in Public until now).

Both Chinese and USA Presidents Xi and Trump, as well as European EU/CoE Leaders, (where CoE's ''Oviedo" Convention on Bio-Ethics Prohibits Genetic Manipulations Heritable by Next Generations), were Expected - just at the Eve of Deadly CoronoVirus' outbreak- to take part, in one way or another, on that "Hot" New Issue Dangerously Affecting all Humankind, (See, f.ex., inter alia, also : http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/heritablegenemaniptrumpxihumanity.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/euchinaspaceandbioethics.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/eppvpresidentandmepsongermlinemanipban.html, http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/newcoesgonbioethics.html , etc).

But, Instead, all out of Sudden, All of them, were notoriously accaparated by that Unforseen, Deadly Virus' Pandemic, which has successively  hit Hard, Particularly China, Europe and the USA...

----------------

=> Meanwhile, an International Investigation, by the WHO/UNO to Find Who may have Fabricated that Deadly Virus and Why, as well as How it Spread so easily around the World, was asked, among Various Others, also by Former Twice-Elected President of Iran (which has been also Hardly hit), Ahmadinejad (See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/ahmadinejadonlabomadevirus1.html + http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/ahmadinejadonlabomadevirus2.html), and Australia's Foreign Minister Marise Payne, etc., while even US President Trump partly Discussed that, and French President Macron denounced such "Gray Zones" (etc)... 

>>> World Leaders had just Missed a Timely Chance to deal with Elementary Bio-Ethical Principles' respect at their Latest "G7" Summit on August 2019, at Biarritz (See: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/flopsatbiarritzg7summit.html). Will they Now Rectify that Error, at least during the present "G7" of 2020, chaired by USA, after such a Deadly Pandemic, probably Lab-Made ?

But, if they do, this time, it should be, naturally, done by Video-Conference, and Include Russia (as Back on the "G8" Era) as well as China (may be a "G9", expected since the 2011 Deauville Summmit ? Comp: http://www.eurofora.net/newsflashes/news/sarkozymedvedevdealslavrovmargelov.html, etc), if not a UN Security Council special meeting,(as Presidents Macron and Putin recently discussed), etc...

People in Europe and the World expect from CoE to make a succes of its "Monitoring" for Human Rights and Democracy, despite difficulties, said Finland's President Tarja Halonen to "EuroFora" at a crucial moment for the mecanism built 15 years ago by the paneuropean organization which celebrates its 60th Anniversary in 2009.

Halonen, known as "Mother" of CoE's "Monitoring" mecanism, a long-time MEP and former Foreign Minister before becoming Finland's President, holds a long experience in the mattter, after also serving twice as CoE and EU Chairwoman in the past. That's why she is well placed to judge how CoE's "monitoring" should deal today with some crucial issues of importance both to CoE and to the EU.

The move came just a Month before a crucial, last visit to Turkey, scheduled for June, by the President of CoE''s "Monitoring" Committee, Ukranian MEP Serge Holovaty, to finalize his Report on Ankara, the CoE Member State with the longest Monitoring procedure. From its results depends its overall credibility.

This is a Test-case, because, in fact, it's in order to avoid Sanctions threatened against Turkey by a CoE's Assembly's April 1995 Resolution for grave Human Rights violations, Democracy gaps, the continuing Military Occupation in Cyprus, the unresolved Kurdish problem, Aegean differend with Greece, etc., that MEPs decided to create, for the 1st time on April 1996, a "Monitoring" proces, allegedly destinated to check, without excluding Countries who did not fulfill all CoE's standards.

In the Past, the obliged withdrawal of Greece's Military regime and of its "Civil" cover-up out of the CoE had helped bring back Democracy in 1974. But, on the contrary, since April 1996, the idea was to "monitor" Human Rights' respect while keeping most concerned Countries inside the CoE. After Turkey's oldest example, this was extended also to several former "Eastern" European Countries, even if CoE's Assembly has imposed to some of them (fex. Ukraine, Russia, etc., after Belarus, Serbia, etc) various "Sanctions", that Ankara always avoided. Curiously more succesful even than .. USA itself, (a CoE "Observer" since 1995), which has been at least threatened with sanctions some years ago..

EU-effects of CoE's Monitoring process became obvious between 2001-2008, since the "closure" of this procedure, when CoE felt that a Country had met most of its Human Rights, Democracy and Rule of Law obligations, (i.e. the "Copenhagen Criteria" for the EU), helped trigger Negotiations with the EU for "Accession" or other closer relations : This occured already before the 2004 and 2007 EU Enlargements to former "Eastern" European Countries, as well as for the commencement of "accession" negotiations with Croatia, and of "open-ended" negotiations with Turkey in 2005.

    But a stricking new development are Holovaty's recent findings that on core Human Rights issues as Torture and Freedom of Expression, Turkey, even "5 Years after" CoE closed its "Monitoring", back in 2004, inciting EU to start accession Negotiations in 2005, still presents grave problems.

    His findings are of crucial importance after a 2008 CoE Resolution called, "if need be", to "seriously consider the possibility of Re-Opening the Monitoring procedure for Turkey" : A move which might affect Ankara's controversial EU bid, since EU Accession Negotiations are based on the Hypothesis that the Candidate fullfils the "Copenhagen Criteria" (See above)..
-------------------------
    Holovaty expressed his will to check  "Matters still Outstanding" and  those that he "didn't have an opportunity to discuss" at an earlier visit this year, "in order to discuss the more complex issues in greater depth", at his forthcoming New Visit to Ankara, before the December 2009 EU Summit.  This is all based on the 2004 CoE Resolution which stresses that, CoE "will continue.. post-monitoring Dialogue with the Turkish authorities,...in addition to a 12-points list,..and on any Other Matter that might arise in connection with Turkey’s Obligations as a CoE member state".

    CoE's Resolution also asks  from Turkey "to secure the proper Implementation of Judgements, particularly in the Cyprus v. Turkey InterState case", of 2001, which concerns also the plight of many Hundreds of MISSING People. It adds Turkey's obligations to "execute" ECHR's Judgements in the Loizidou case,..and in particular adopt General Measures to avoid repetition or continuation of Violations found by the Court" to the detriment of Refugees.

    Nevertheless, Holovaty said to "EuroFora" that "MISSING" persons,"might be included" and cannot be excluded, but he has yet to examine the situation "to find out  which issues will be raised" to the Turkish Government.

    Therefore, "EuroFora" asked Halonen, as the Historic "Mother" of CoE's Monitoring mecanism, if she thought that, "whenever there are grave Human Rights Violations, as fex. "MISSING" persons, attested even by ECHR's judgements, they should be always checked by a Monitoring process. Or could they be forgotten ?"
    
     - "We (CoE) must be, at the same time, Fair, Realistic, but not in the mind that "now we have Forgotten", etc., replied to "EuroFora"'s question Halonen, speaking as a matter of general principle.

    - "When we think of those People that are suffering from the lack of Democracy, of Human Rights, and of the Rule of Law", "we should find a base on how to deal with the (Monitoring) system more rapidly"', she stressed.

    - "Sometimes it's very difficult to combine Transparency and Effectivenes together, particularly in this specific case", she went on to say. But, "I have not found a (CoE Member) Country who could be insensitive in this sens", Halonen answered concerning grave Human Rights violations attested by the ECHR.

    - "I have no ready-made answer. I have the expectations that you, in the CoE, will, step by step, find the different types of the monitoring systems."

    Also "because this is a part of the UN's Post-Conflict system, (fex. when it comes to Cyprus' MISSING persons), and it's a more Global system". So that, "If we make a succes in Europe, the others will follow", throughout the World.  "But they expect that we (Europe) are this opportunity, this Opportunity to make a Succes", Halonen concluded.

    In addition, she advised to extend CoE's Monitoring to all its 47 Member States, "because, as long as we hear that, all these monitoring systems are "OK for the neighbor, but not for me", "it's very difficult" to understand. Something which could make easier to Compare...

    Finnish MEP Jaako Laakso, former CoE Rapporteur on the Occupied Territories of Cyprus and one of the 5 Signatories of the Historic CoE's call to create the "MONITORING" mecanism since 1996, was more specific :  - "We (CoE Assembly) have to find a way for the issue of Cyprus' MISSING People to be better followed", he stressed, anouncing his intention to "speak to Mr. Holovaty" about that. "There might be also other ways", added Laakso.

    - The 2008 "Year had been a very Bad one for Turkey with regard to Human Rights in general, and Freedom of Expression in particular", denounced, meanwhile, Holovaty's preliminary Post-Monitoringh Draft Report by Holovaty, published by the CoE on April 2009.

    "Amnesty International believes that freedom of expression is not guaranteed given the various articles of the Criminal Code that restrict it. .. "For example, 1,300 Websites are said to have been closed down by the (Turkish) authorities in 2008" ! While "the new Turkish Criminal Code was used to bring a total of 1,072 proceedings between June 2005 and April 2008, and led to the conviction of 192 people", for expressing views. "Representatives of the Özgür Gündem newspaper, which specialises in Kurdish affairs, ..complained about Numerous Attacks on their Freedom of Expression ...as was everyone who advocated a settlement to the question by means other than the intervention of the army" "According to their figures, 19 Newspapers had been suspended 43 times between 4 August 2006 and 4 November 2008" !...

    Moreover, on 2008,  CoE's "Ministers adopted its 4rth Resolution on the execution of the judgments of the ECHR, ...and outstanding issues regarding 175 Judgements and decisions relating to Turkey delivered between 1996 and 2008...  concerning Deaths resulting from the excessive use of force by members of the Security forces, the failure to protect the right to life, the DIisappearance and/or death of individuals, Ill-Treatment and the Destruction of property". CoE's " Ministers urged the Turkish authorities ...to ensure that members of Security forces of all ranks can be prosecuted without administrative
authorisation" for "serious crimes". Holovaty reminded.

"Nonetheless", Holovaty heard anew of "Several cases of Violence committed last year (2008) by the (Turkish) security forces". Amnesty International speaks of Many Cases of ill-treatment and Torture in the prisons and by the police". "Including, fex."'the death of Engin Ceber, a young man of 29 who died on October 2008 as a result of the TORTURE allegedly inflicted on him by police officers, prison staff and members of the gendarmerie. He was part of a group of people arrested on September 2008 during a demonstration and Press Conference in Istanbul'. Proceedings against suspects are "on-going" in this case.

- " I therefore noted an Obvious Contradiction between the Government’s stated “zero tolerance” policy.... of Torture and other forms of ill-treatment, and the different testimonies given", denounced CoE's Rapporteur.  Turkish "authorities must make considerable efforts to guarantee that proper investigations are carried out into allegations of abuses by members of the security forces and that perpetrators are effectively punished" "In this respect, I have requested detailed Statistics on the number of Investigations, acquittals and convictions in cases involving allegations of abuse in order to show the positive impact of the measures taken to date", Holovaty said, repeating a permanently unsatisfied CoE's demand to Turkey since a Decade...

    - "The Political Crisis that shook the country in the spring of 2008 highlighted the Weaknesses of the (Turkish) Constitution", which comes from the Military regime of 1982, "and the Urgent Need of Reforms", stressed from the outset CoE's Rapporteur in 2009. In particular, "the ...Democratic functioning of state institutions, including the independence of the judicial system, are crucial", he observes.

    But, "the Electoral  system and the ways in which it is circumvented do not appear to give those elected complete Legitimacy, and tend to pervert the course of direct universal suffrage", denounces Holovaty, observing that, even 5 Years later, Turkey did not yet change the 10% nationwide Threshold for a party to take any seat, which is "far higher" than the "3%" maximum in Europe and already condemned as contrary to European Standards by the CoE.

    + Moreover, EU Parliament's 2009 Report on Turkey, drafted by Dutch MEP Ria Oomen-Ruijten and adopted in Strasbourg on March, expresses "Concern over the Failure of the (Turkish) Judiciary to prosecute cases of Torture and Ill-treatment, the Number of which is Growing". EU also "is concerned about continuing Hostility and Violence against Minorities" in Turkey. It also "calls on the Turkish Government to launch, as a matter of Priority, a Political Initiatve favouring a lasting Settlement of the Kurdish issue, (while "condemning violence.. and terrorist groups"). EU "regrets that No progress has been made on establishing full, systematic Civilian suprevisory functions over the (Turkish) Military".

    The final results of Holovaty's 2nd and last visit to Turkley will be known later this year, and, at any case, before EU's December 2009 Summit.

Polls

2009 EU Elections were won by Parties against Technocracy and Turkey's controversial EU bid, while the 1999-2004 Majority Abstention trend decelerated. What should be done in 2009-2014 ?
