France to deploy 10,000 troops to boost security

January 12, 2015 By administrator

187016France will have more than 10,000 soldiers mobilized on home soil by Tuesday after 17 were killed in attacks carried out by Islamist militants in Paris last week, Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Monday, Jan 12, according to Reuters.

Speaking a day after the biggest French public demonstration ever registered, held to remember the victims, he said France was still at risk of further attacks.

“The threats remain and we have to protect ourselves from them. It is an internal operation that will mobilize almost as many men as we have in our overseas operations,” Le Drian told reporters after a cabinet meeting.

The victims, including journalists and police, lost their lives in three days of violence that began on Wednesday with a shooting attack on the political weekly Charlie Hebdo, known for its satirical attacks on Islam and other religions.

The Charlie Hebdo attackers, two French-born brothers of Algerian origin, singled out the weekly for its publication of cartoons depicting and ridiculing the Prophet Mohammad.

The bloodshed ended on Friday with a hostage-taking at a Jewish deli in which four hostages and another gunman were killed.

Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that 4,700 police officers would be deployed at all 717 Jewish schools across the country.

The first two attackers were also killed on Friday after a siege north of the capital. Police said all three men were part of the same Paris-based militant Islamist cell.

Over 1.2 million people marched in Paris on Sunday and 2.5 million more in the provinces. The Paris march was led by dozens of heads of state. Some commentators said the last time crowds of this size were seen in the capital was at the Liberation of Paris from Nazi Germany in 1944.

The co-ordinated assaults amounted to the deadliest attack by militant Islamists on a European city since 57 people were killed in an attack on London’s transport system in 2005.

A suspected female accomplice of the gunmen crossed into Syria on Jan. 8 from Turkey, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said in comments posted on state-run news agency Anatolian’s website on Monday.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, who was holding an emergency security meeting of his cabinet on Monday in light of the French attacks, and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi were among 44 foreign leaders marching with French President Francois Hollande on Sunday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said he would travel to Paris this week to express solidarity with the victims of the Islamic militant attack on a satirical weekly newspaper.

In another security initiative, Cazeneuve said on Sunday European interior ministers had agreed to boost cooperation to thwart further militant attacks.

He called for the creation of a European database of airplane passenger names and said Europe should fight against abusive use of the Internet to spread hate speech.

France: Philippe Kaltenbach wrote to Jean-Louis Debré “Case Haenel”

January 10, 2015 By administrator

arton106804-480x320Philippe Kaltenbach, Senator of Hauts-de-Seine, wrote to Jean-Louis Debré President of the Constitutional Council:

“Mr. President

The press has recently reported a correspondence between Mr. Yasar Yakis, former Turkish Foreign Minister and Mr Hubert Haenel member of the Constitutional Council, as part of the review by the Constitutional Council in February 2012 the proposal law to punish denial of the genocides recognized by law.

The Republic of Turkey to the authorities yet still openly displayed their hostility to the adoption by France of a legal vehicle to punish denial of the Armenian genocide of 1915, which the State continues to deny reality.

You will easily agree that such exchanges seriously violate the principle of independence that must guide the work of those who have the honor of ensuring compliance with our constitution. Their content further reveals that the secret of the decision of your Court would have been a violation since Mr. Haenel had informed Mr. Yakis nature of it before its official publication.

Also, I would be grateful if you would kindly inform me whether the match is confirmed, the measures taken by the Constitutional Council to ensure the independence of its members and the secret of decisions.

Thank you in advance for the attention you will bring to my approach and beg you to believe, Mr. President, the assurances of my highest consideration. “

Jan. 9, 2013, Kurdish Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Söylemez were shot dead in Paris. “Turkish MIT & Ömer Güney?”

January 9, 2015 By administrator

201617_newsdetailTwo years have passed since three Kurdish women affiliated with the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) were killed in Paris, but those behind the attack are yet to be found, although the French police apprehended two suspects, one of them alleged to have links with Turkish intelligence, shortly after the crime.

On Jan. 9, 2013, Sakine Cansız, Fidan Doğan and Leyla Söylemez were shot dead at the Kurdistan Information Bureau in Paris.

The killings took place shortly after the Turkish government launched talks with the PKK, recognized as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US and EU, to resolve the country’s long-standing Kurdish problem.

A Turkish daily claimed in February of last year that the prime suspect in the crime, Ömer Güney, who was arrested for an alleged plot to murder, had close ties to the Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MİT).

The claim was previously denied by MİT following the release in January last year of a video allegedly featuring a conversation between Güney and two MİT agents.

According to the report published on Feb. 20 in the daily, one of the 13 phone numbers on suspect Güney’s phone contact list belonged to MİT.

Karşı’s report came after Ankara rejected a request from the French Ministry of Justice to reveal the identity of Güney’s contacts. Of the 13 numbers on Güney’s phone, five were landlines, while the others belonged to mobile phones, the report claimed. Güney is the last person who saw the three victims alive.

The report said one of the numbers belongs to the Erzurum provincial branch of MİT. In addition, the number is registered as such in a Turkish telephone directory system. Although the number was in the contact list on Güney’s Nokia phone found at his Paris apartment, it is not yet clear whether Güney had contacted this number.

MİT denied allegations in January of last year that it was the instigator of the murders. A statement released by the intelligence organization also said an internal administrative investigation into the claims was launched.

A video released over YouTube in January of last year allegedly featured Güney and two MİT agents over plans to murder Cansız, who is one of the co-founders of the PKK. The voice recording included details such as where and how to obtain two guns, how to pay for them and how to leave the crime scene after committing the murder.

Then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan suggested back in January that the killing might be an intra-PKK conflict, pointing out that a code was needed to enter the building where the women were killed.

Erdoğan suggested that someone must have knocked and the women must have opened the door, but that they would not have opened the door to someone they did not know. “They opened the door to someone they knew,” he stated.

Apart from the investigation that French prosecutors opened, the deputy chief public prosecutor’s office in Ankara also launched an investigation based on the Turkish anti-terror law. Reports in the Turkish media back in 2013 maintained that French authorities did not send the case file of the slain women to Turkey amid disagreements on the extradition of terrorists to Turkey.

Güney, who was reported to have visited Turkey on three different occasions in the year preceding the killings is from Turkey like the three victims.

The murders were seen in Turkey as an effort to derail the ongoing settlement process launched at the end of 2012 to resolve the Kurdish issue between the government and the terrorist organization.

He is outraged by the sympathetic ear that lent him Mr. Haenel, who in two separate messages, on the one hand trying to reassure him about the fate of this anti-revisionist law and also informs before time of the Council Decision. An attitude which contravenes the oath of confidentiality, discretion and impartiality that lend wise before the President of the Republic, as stipulated in Article 3 of the order of 7 November 1958.

The CFC demand the highest state authorities to open an administrative investigation into the matter and called for the resignation of Hubert Haenel.
