    [01] ARMENIA REGISTERS IMPRESSIVE GROWTH IN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

    Industrial output in Armenia increased by 22 percent during

    the first six months of 2000 compared with the same period

    for 1999, Noyan Tapan reported on 2 August. Exports of such

    products rose by 21 percent, or 4 billion drams ($7.3

    million), compared with last year. First Deputy Industry and

    Trade Minister Ashot Shahnazarian told Armenian State

    Television that the number of people currently employed in

    the industrial sector has risen by 8,000 since last year to

    34,000. He noted the importance of the reactivation of

    mining, smelting, and chemical sector plants, including the

    giant Nairit chemical plant, which is now operating at a

    profit. LF

    [02] FELLOW FACTION MEMBERS CRITICIZE ARMENIAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKER

    Stepan Minasian, a spokesman for the People's Party of

    Armenia (HZhK), told RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau on 1 August that

    the party's leadership has issued a statement "strongly

    condemning" HZhK member and parliamentary speaker Armen

    Khachatrian for his absence from the country during last

    week's vote on the government's proposals for privatizing

    four energy distribution networks (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 27

    and 31 July 2000). The HZhK opposed that bill. Khachatrian,

    who is currently on vacation at a Black Sea resort, has been

    repeatedly criticized for extensive foreign travel since his

    election as speaker late last year (see "RFE/RL Caucasus

    Report," Vol. 3, No. 14, 7 April 2000). LF

    [03] AZERBAIJANI OPPOSITION ATTEND CENTRAL ELECTORAL COMMISSON

    SESSION...

    The six opposition representatives on the 18-

    strong Azerbaijan Central Electoral Commission attended a

    session of that body on 1 August for the first time, having

    abandoned the boycott they declared last month to demand

    amendments to the election legislation, Turan reported. The

    session was devoted to the financing of the election

    campaign. Also on 1 August, the Democratic Path party signed

    the statement issued by some 18 opposition parties on 27 July

    demanding that the Azerbaijan authorities create conditions

    for ensuring that the 5 November parliamentary poll is free

    and fair. The Democratic Path party also issued a press

    release condemning the restrictions on election participation

    of parties that were not formally registered six months

    before the announcement of the poll date. They termed those

    restrictions a violation of Azerbaijan's commitments to the

    Council of Europe. LF

    [04] ...PROTESTS NAKHICHEVAN ELECTION LAW

    The Nakhichevan

    branches of the Azerbaijan Popular Front, Musavat, the

    Democratic and Azerbaijan National Independence parties, and

    the Society of Nagorno-Karabakh War Invalids have issued a

    statement criticizing the 29 July session of the parliament

    of the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, Turan reported on 1

    August. At that session, which opposition representatives and

    independent journalists were barred from attending, deputies

    adopted election legislation according to which all 45 seats

    in Nakhichevan's new legislature will be allocated under the

    majoritarian system. The opposition parties demanded that an

    unspecified number of mandates be allocated under the

    proportional system. The ballot is scheduled to be held on 5

    November at the same time as elections to the national

    parliament. Parliamentary officials say the law conforms with

    international norms. LF

    [05] RUSSIA BEGINS WITHDRAWING MILITARY HARDWARE FROM GEORGIA

    Lieutenant General Vladimir Andreev, who is commander of the

    Russian army grouping in the Transcaucasus, told Interfax on

    1 August that the first trainload of military equipment to be

    withdrawn from the Russian base at Vaziani, near Tbilisi,

    will depart for the Black Sea port of Batumi on 5 August.

    From there, it will be transported by sea to Russia.

    According to a joint statement by the Russian Foreign and

    Defense Ministries, Moscow has formally notified the OSCE

    that the withdrawal has begun. The statement expressed the

    hope that the Georgian authorities will honor their

    commitments to ensure the safe and unimpeded transportation

    of that equipment. LF

    [06] GEORGIAN INSURGENTS FORESWEAR NEW DESTABILIZATION ATTEMPTS

    The followers of slain Georgian insurgent leader Colonel

    Akaki Eliava will not embark on any actions for the time

    being to destabilize the political situation in Georgia,

    "Rezonansi" on 2 August quoted Eliava's second-in-command,

    Rezo Asmava, as saying. Asmava predicted that popular

    discontent at the Georgian government's inability to pay

    wages and pensions will increase spontaneously and that

    eventually "the rotten apple will fall by itself." LF

    [07] KYRGYZ OPPOSITION PARTY ELECTS NEW CHAIRMAN

    At a congress in

    Bishkek on 29 July, the opposition People's Party elected

    Melis Eshimkanov as its chairman and proposed him as a

    candidate for the 29 October presidential poll, RFE/RL's

    bureau in the Kyrgyz capital reported. Eshimkanov replaces

    Daniyar Usenov, who had held the post of party chairman since

    last December. Eshimkanov has already collected 120,000

    signatures in his support or more than twice the 50,000

    needed to register for the ballot. Meanwhile on 1 August, the

    Vox Populi Center in Bishkek published the findings of a

    recent opinion poll in which 68 percent of a total 8,400

    respondents expressed confidence in incumbent President Askar

    Akaev. LF

    [08] KYRGYZSTAN ECONOMY SHOWS SIGNS OF RECOVERY

    National

    Statistical Board Director Zarylbek Kudaba announced last

    week that Kyrgyzstan's GDP grew by 7.4 percent during the

    first six months of 2000 compared with the corresponding

    period last year, RFE/RL's Bishkek bureau reported.

    Industrial output rose by 3.3 percent and agricultural

    production by 10.9 percent. Inflation during the first half

    of the year was 7.1 percent, and the average monthly wage is

    1,029 soms (about $22). Kudabaev said that unemployment

    currently stands at 3.2 percent, but the Ministry of Trade

    and Social Affairs last week estimated that the real

    unemployment figure is 200,000 (of a total population of 4.8

    million), rather than the 72,000 who are officially

    registered as out of work LF

    [09] UZBEKISTAN RAISES SALARIES, GASOLINE PRICES

    Government

    employees' salaries have been increased by an average of 50

    percent as of 1 August, Interfax reported. The minimum state

    sector wage is now 2,450 sums (about $80). Pensions, benefits

    and student allowances have also been raised. At the same

    time, the government increased the price of gasoline by 28

    percent and fares for public transportation in Tashkent by 60

    percent. LF


    [B] SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE

    [10] ALBRIGHT'S APPEAL TO YUGOSLAV OPPOSITION WITHOUT EFFECT?

    Leaders of the Serbian opposition and the Montenegrin

    governing coalition are slated to meet in Podgorica on 2

    August. The previous day, Miodrag Vukovic, who is a senior

    adviser to President Milo Djukanovic, said that the talks

    with the Serbs will be a "pure formality" and have "no

    influence on our previously publicly stated positions" to

    boycott the 24 September federal elections, Montena-fax news

    agency reported. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright

    appealed to Djukanovic in Rome to reconsider his boycott (see

    "RFE/RL Newsline," 1 August 2000). The Montenegrin leadership

    has said the legislation on the basis of which the ballot

    will be held is "illegal." Vuk Draskovic's Serbian Renewal

    Movement also plans to boycott the federal elections. PM

    [11] HOLLAND DENIES SERBIAN CHARGES ON 'ASSASSINS'

    A Foreign

    Ministry spokesman said in Amsterdam on 1 August that his

    government denies conducting any "military operation" against

    Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic (see "RFE/RL Newsline,"

    1 August 2000). Paul Risley, who is a spokesman for the

    Hague-based war crimes tribunal, told Reuters by telephone

    that the Belgrade regime's charges are "fiction and nothing

    more." In Washington, State Department spokesman Philip

    Reeker mocked both the charge and Yugoslav Information

    Minister Goran Matic, who made it. "In the past we've seen

    that so-called Information Minister Goran Matic is

    notoriously inventive in some of his so-called information.

    His allegations appear to be quite ridiculous," an RFE/RL

    correspondent quoted him as saying. PM

    [12] KOSOVA'S MEDIA TO SEEK NEW HOME

    The OSCE said in a statement

    in Prishtina on 1 August that the UN Fire Marshall's Office

    wants to close the tower block that houses the offices of

    many newspapers and radio stations. The statement called the

    Media House a "major safety hazard that could lead to loss of

    life or injury due to fire or electrocution," Reuters

    reported. It added that "the OSCE will do its utmost to help

    the media tenants of the tower block find alternative

    accommodation in Prishtina." Like many structures in Kosova

    and Serbia, the building has become unsafe because of years

    of neglect. PM

    [13] SECOND CROATIAN AUTO KINGPIN ARRESTED

    Police have arrested

    Ante Jurjevic for misappropriating some $3 million in funds

    belonging to his company, "Vecernji list" reported on 2

    August. The arrest of the FIAT dealer comes just two weeks

    after the arrest of Pavao Zubak on charges of tax evasion

    (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 24 July 2000). PM

    [14] CROATIAN OFFICIALS STILL TAKE DIM VIEW OF YUGOSLAV MUSICIANS

    The Croatian Music Union and the Ministry of Culture have

    prevented well-known Montenegrin rock singer Rambo Amadeus

    and a Serbian hip-hop group from performing in Croatia, "Novi

    List" reported on 2 August. The regime of the late President

    Franjo Tudjman often put up bureaucratic hurdles to prevent

    Yugoslav musicians from performing in Croatia, forcing fans

    to travel to Slovenia to hear Bajaga and other popular stars.

    PM

    [15] CROATIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY UNDERGOING PURGE?

    Croatian Foreign

    Minister Tonino Picula said in Jerusalem on 1 August that his

    government is replacing some 35 ambassadors or consuls in the

    near future, RFE/RL's South Slavic Service reported. He added

    that some of the diplomats' terms have expired but that

    others are being sacked because "their views do not

    correspond to the new foreign policy of the Croatian

    government." He did not elaborate. PM

    [16] CROATIA, ISRAEL TO LAUNCH MILITARY COOPERATION?

    Israel will

    no longer require visas for Croatian citizens, "Vecernji

    list" reported on 2 August. Croatian Deputy Prime Minister

    Goran Granic and Israeli Foreign Minister David Levy signed

    agreements in Jerusalem on trade and on economic cooperation

    the previous day. Granic also visited a plant belonging to an

    aviation company that is interested in a $110 million package

    to modernize 26 aging Croatian MiG-21 aircraft. The Croatian

    authorities have not yet decided whether to modernize the

    MiGs or to buy more costly new NATO aircraft. The Zagreb

    authorities first discussed under Tudjman the possibility of

    modernizing the MiGs. PM

    [17] ALBANIAN PRIME MINISTER APPEALS TO CROATIA TO SCRAP VISAS

    Ilir Meta said in Zagreb that Albania and Croatia should end

    mutual visa requirements, "Vecernji list" reported on 2

    August. He stressed that lifting visa regulations would

    greatly facilitate trade and tourism. Observers note that

    there are many thousands of Croatian citizens of Kosovar

    Albanian origin. PM

    [18] GREEK TROOPS BEGIN WITHDRAWAL FROM ALBANIA

    The first of 827

    Greek soldiers left Albania on 1 August in an operation

    expected to last two to three weeks, AP reported. The Greeks

    first arrived in 1997 to help restore order after widespread

    unrest broke out in the spring of that year. Some 87 Greek

    military personnel will remain in Albania under a training

    program. PM

    [19] BOSNIAN SERB POLICE ARREST MAN FOR ATTACK ON SFOR

    Police in

    Banja Luka said in a statement on 2 August that they have

    arrested Vukasin Nikolic from Zvornik "under suspicion of

    having shot with a bazooka on 25 July at a house in which

    SFOR personnel were living," AP reported. The statement added

    that Nikolic confessed to the crime. A second suspect remains

    at large. PM

    [20] PETRITSCH'S OFFICE BLASTS NEW BOSNIAN SUCCESSION LAW

    A

    spokesman for the international community's High

    Representative Wolfgang Petritsch said in Sarajevo on 1

    August that a law recently passed by the federal parliament

    on presidential succession is "manipulative and

    undemocratic." The spokesman added that the law is probably

    unconstitutional because it allows the election to the

    presidency of an individual who was not first elected to the

    parliament, Reuters reported. Petritsch's main problem with

    the law is that it allows the present legislature to fill the

    vacancy caused by the resignation of Muslim presidency member

    Alija Izetbegovic. Petritsch wants the new parliament to be

    elected in November to pick the successor. PM

    [21] FIRE THREATENS FUTURE OF BOSNIAN MUSLIM WEEKLY

    A fire in the

    Iranian Cultural Center in central Sarajevo has caused severe

    damage to the nearby offices of the Muslim weekly "Ljiljan,"

    "Oslobodjenje" reported on 2 August. Some 100,000 copies of

    the "Ljiljan" were destroyed by the fire. There was extensive

    water damage to the weekly's computers. The editors appealed

    for help from citizens, businesses, political organizations,

    and other media centers. "Ljiljan" urgently needs money,

    computers, and a new home, the editors added. PM

    [22] ROMANIA'S LIBERALS SAY CDR IS 'DEAD'

    National Liberal

    Party Deputy Chairman Crin Antonescu said on 1 August that

    the Democratic Convention of Romania (CDR) is

    "unfortunately dead," and he blamed the National Peasant

    Party Christian Democratic (PNTCD) for its demise.

    Antonescu said the PNTCD had "dreaded the loss of its

    hegemony in the CDR" and consequently sought to replace the

    PNL in the CDR with parties that it could dominate,

    RFE/RL's Bucharest bureau reported. In turn, the PNTCD

    Steering National Bureau decided at its 1 August meeting to

    replace the former CDR protocol with one that includes the

    Union of Democratic Forces (UFD), as a representative of

    the CDR's "liberal component," and the two ecologist

    parties. The bureau urged Premier Mugur Isarescu to

    announce his candidacy for the presidency in the near

    future. MS

    [23] NEW CDR IN 'BIRTH THROES'

    PNTCD First Deputy Chairman Ioan

    Muresan said after a meeting with the leaders of the UFD,

    the National Christian Democratic Alliance (ANCD), the

    Ecologist Party (PER), and the Ecology Federation (FER)

    that the only way to forge a new alliance is to have PER

    and FER merge and the ANCD "absorbed" by the PNTCD. But

    ANCD leader Victor Ciorbea said his party has not given him

    a mandate to negotiate the ANCD's re-unification with the

    PNTCD and that he is empowered to discuss only an alliance

    with that party. MS

    [24] MOLDOVAN PARLIAMENTARY CHAIRMAN 'SUGGESTS' LUCINSCHI

    RESIGN

    Dumitru Diacov, speaking on Moldovan television on

    31 July, said the president should be elected by the

    parliament on 17 November, the day on which presidential

    elections took place in 1996. Diacov suggested that

    President Petru Lucinschi resign before the end of his

    mandate on 15 January 2001, thus making it possible for the

    new president to assume office earlier. He said he hopes

    Lucinschi does not intend "to head an opposition force

    against the parliament" during the remainder of his term in

    office. He also said that he hopes the president will

    withdraw his proposal for a referendum on enlarging the

    presidential powers, which legislators must debate by 13

    January 2001. In addition, Diacov hinted that the

    parliament will review the procedure under which the head

    of state can dissolve the legislature if lawmakers twice

    fail to elect a new president. MS

    [25] BULGARIAN LAWMAKERS TO DISCUSS BUGGING SCANDAL

    The

    parliament will convene in special emergency session on 3

    August to debate the case of the listening devices

    discovered in the apartments of Prosecutor-General Nikola

    Filichev and a deputy of the Socialist Party (see "RFE/RL

    Newsline," 31 July 2000). Interior Minister Emanuil

    Yordanov told journalists on 1 August that three officers

    working for his ministry's Technical Information Service

    (SOTI) have been detained on suspicion that they failed to

    remove the devices from the flat into which Filichev moved

    at the end of 1999. Yordanov said the devices were planted

    there by SOTI in 1993-1994, during the construction of the

    building, and had never been used. The building largely

    accommodates foreign diplomats. Yordanov said that at the

    time the devices were planted, there was no law regulating

    the use of such equipment. The relevant law was not passed

    until 1997. MS


    [C] END NOTE

    [26] ACQUITTED RUSSIAN ENVIRONMENTALIST MAY FACE RETRIAL

    By Sophie Lambroschini

    Lawyers for Alexander Nikitin say the prosecutor-

    general's refusal to accept the acquittal of the retired Navy

    captain and environmentalist means that the Russian

    authorities want to suppress information on potential

    environmental disasters.

    After five years of investigation and 13 court

    decisions, Nikitin was acquitted of spying charges. That

    acquittal was upheld by the Supreme Court. But now he risks a

    retrial if the Prosecutor-General's Office gets its way. An

    appeal to overturn the acquittal was filed by the Deputy

    Prosecutor-General Sergei Kekhlerov and was scheduled to be

    considered by the Supreme Court on 2 August. But the day of

    the scheduled hearing, the Supreme Court Presidium postponed

    considering the appeal until 13 September, arguing that one

    of the judges had not had time to study the "Nikitin case."

    Yurii Schmidt, Nikitin's lawyer, commented that this move was

    aimed at "letting the case drag on" for another few months.

    After Nikitin went public about the environmental

    hazards of Russia's decrepit nuclear vessels and leaky

    nuclear storage sites, authorities hit him with charges of

    spying. The case made him Russia's most famous

    environmentalist and aroused suspicions that the Federal

    Security Service (FSB) was pressuring the prosecution.

    Nikitin was one of the first people in post-Soviet Russia to

    be named a prisoner of conscience by Amnesty International.

    The news of this last appeal reached Nikitin in the

    U.S., where he was to receive an environmental award and

    testify before a Congressional panel about environmental

    threats in Russia. He immediately returned to Russia to await

    the court's decision.

    In asking for a reversal of the December acquittal,

    Deputy Prosecutor-General Kekhlerov argues that the case had

    been handled with many violations of Nikitin's rights.

    Schmidt argues that the prosecutor's logic is

    inconsistent. Schmidt said on 1 August that for years, the

    defense filed complaint after complaint about violations of

    Nikitin's rights, only to have them all rejected by the

    Prosecutor-General's Office. But now the same prosecutor is

    admitting violations took place in order to use them as a

    pretext for reopening the case. "In 40 years of legal

    practice, I've never seen worse cynicism, worse abuse of the

    constitution and of human rights--for the prosecution to

    justify the overturning of an acquittal with the very

    violations it committed," Schmidt said.

    What has become known as the Nikitin case has lasted

    almost five years. In October 1995, Russia's security service

    raided the Murmansk office of the Norwegian-based

    environmental association Bellona and confiscated all

    documents, including a report about to be published on the

    ecological hazards of the Northern Fleet nuclear submarines.

    The FSB arrested Nikitin, who had helped research the

    reports, saying he had divulged state secrets. Indicted on

    eight sets of espionage charges, Nikitin spent 10 months in

    jail.

    The defense maintained Nikitin's innocence, arguing that

    all the information came from open and public sources and did

    not fall under any law on state secrets.

    The proceedings dragged on, as the state came up with

    new laws on state secrets and tried to apply them

    retroactively to the case. The defense, meanwhile, complained

    of harassment by the FSB. Nikitin's family members said they

    were being constantly followed and their home searched in

    their absence.

    After Nikitin was finally acquitted by a Saint

    Petersburg court last December, the Prosecutor-General's

    Office appealed the decision to the Supreme Court. That court

    rejected the appeal and enforced the acquittal, formally

    closing the case.

    Nikitin told RFE/RL on 1 August that he suspects the FSB

    is behind the actions taken by the prosecution against him

    and other environmentalists. "The FSB has a certain strategy

    or conception that has been stated several times by FSB

    officials, including by former FSB director Nikolai Kovalev,"

    he noted. "They claim that secret services, foreign secret

    services, are using environmentalist organizations as a cover

    for spying. That's why everything that happens with

    ecological associations--probes by the Prosecutor-General's

    Office, persecutions of certain people, persecutions of some

    organizations, and so on--in principle...all fits into this

    strategy."

    Last week, Nikitin also criticized the recent

    dissolution of the government's official ecological watchdog,

    the State Committee on the Environment. Nikitin said doing

    away with the agency will make it difficult to assess the

    risks posed by industrial or mining ventures.

    Aleksei Simonov, the head of the private Glasnost

    Defense Fund, which defends freedom of expression, says

    Nikitin's case is not an isolated one but part of a pattern

    of suppressing information on environmental degradation. He

    adds that environmentalists have become a prime target of the

    FSB.
