When looking deeply at the issue, one can understand that the core of the problem is an ideology that is very harmful to humanity and the security of the region. This ideology, which has been Armenians' national program for more than one hundred years, encompasses the establishment of the "Great Armenia from sea to sea - from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea" and the occupation of the lands of the ancient peoples who Armenians have been neighbors with for two hundred years in the Caucasus. read full story / add a comment

The post mayday 2004 Europe of 450,000,000 shall see established a very different balance between RC and Lutheran, Calvinist, Humanist, Anglican, and Orthodox than at any point since the collapse of the Hapsburg empire.
And in the lead-up the most powerful RC churches are quite obviously attempting to stop any increased "secularisation" which ought be inevitable.
We ought now consider the effects on certain rights issues which are very dear to the indymedia family, such as :-
"a woman's right to choose", the right to be "gay", the right to "divorce", the right to "sex education", & the right to "secularisation" of both legislature and exectuive and education. read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin continues a steady climb in support and now stands at 12 per cent of the national vote, its highest ever in an Irish Times/TNS mrbi poll in the Republic. This compares with 6.5 per cent in the 2002 general election.

Its support in Dublin is now equal to that of Fine Gael and Labour and it is poised to make significant gains in the local elections in June.

Its support is highest among younger voters, urban dwellers, men and the less well off. read full story / add a comment

The front page of todays Irish Times runs a story on yesterdays announcement by Britain to restrict immigration in an 'enlarged' EU.

Britain is now the fourth of five EU countries to back down on promises made during EU enlargement negotiations in Dec. 2002.

According to todays Irish Times frontpage headline, 'Ireland is now the only EU state not to restrict access'.

However in the article an Irish govt. spokesman commenting on Britains announcement admits that Ireland,
"retained the power on a contingency basis to impose necessary controls should there be a major disruption in the labour market." read full story / add a comment
