SUGGESTION TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT 2011

SUGGESTION TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION PRESIDENT


To:               The Right Honorable European Commission President

From:            Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE:               Greece Crisis

Suggestions.

Good Morning Mr. President. I am writing to express that Greece must continue on the path of austerity. When I wrote to the Greece Finance Minister two weeks back, I recommended that greater reform efforts, above all on the privatization front, voluntary buyback of the Greek bonds, spiced with a partial guarantee from the EFSF, insurance of new bonds covered by premiums to the ESFS. I have been saying till the beginning of the crisis EU should provide security to Greece so that confidence returns to the economy. But EU always failed to do it.

The proposed austerity targets are realistic. For instance, look at the achievement of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania which experienced GDP contraction of 20% and had  similar levels of unemployment. With strict policies of internal devaluation and fiscal discipline, taxes were increased and public sector wages were cut by around 30% and more so in the private sector where labor is more flexible. Look at the achievement of those countries in 2009 and 2010. Those countries were turnaround from the crisis with strict policy measures. Hence I wrote to the Greece Finance Minister since 2010 a refurbished economic structure is essential to restore growth and competitiveness along with an austerity drive to restore Greece economy on track.

Greece looks to EU for good guidance, I hope that EU will not let the country down. If Greece would defaulted it is not a failure of Greece, It is failure of the EU.

Thank you very much for your kind attention to this issue Mr. President.

Sincerely,

Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

To put things into perspective, Nagorno-Karabakh is not an independent entity but an occupied territory of the Azerbaijan Republic and is recognised by the international community and the UN. The fact that the Armenian Prime Minister's son is doing his military service in the Armenian army located in Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh and started an undeclared war against Azerbaijan, occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and 7 adjacent regions of Azerbaijan, and massacred and forcefully deported Azerbaijani aborigines was the main reason for the lack of peace in the region. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the Nagorno-Karabakh civilian population, individual civilians, and civilian property. The laws of armed conflict failed to discriminate between those taking parts in the fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh. The laws of armed conflict failed to protect the environment as war causes severe or long term damage to the environment. The fact here is that there is a number of international doc...
