2 | [All links lead to sites in Portuguese unless specified otherwise.] This post, written by Bruno Fonseca and Natalia Viana for Agência Pública, was originally published as a report entitled “Bomba brasileira na pele turca” (Turks Feel a Brazilian Bomb Firsthand) and is part of the special coverage #IndústriaBrasileiraDeArmas (Brazilian Weapons Industry) on the weapons lobby and industry in Brazil. | Ity lahatsoratra nosoratan'i Bruno Fonseca sy Natalia Viana, avy amin'i Agência Pública, ity dia nivoaka tamin'ny voalohany tamin'ny lohateny hoe “Bomba brasileira na pele turca” (grenady breziliana hamelezana ny Tiorka) , izy ity dia ao anatin'ny fanadihadiana manokana momba ireo vondron'olona mpanery ny manampahefana sy ny orinasa mpamokatra fitaovam-piadiana ao Brezila #IndústriaBrasileiraDeArmas. |
3 | The story will be published in a series of three articles on Global Voices Online. | Hisy lahatsoratra telo momba izany fanadihadiana izany eto amin'ny Global Voices Online. |
4 | This is the second part of the series. | Ity ny lahatsoratra farany. |
5 | Check out the first post: Brazilian Tear Gas Used Against Turkish Protesters Condor's stand in the Brazilian pavilion in Turkey in May 2013. | Jereo ny lahatsoratra teo aloha : Grenady Breziliana Hamelezana Tiorka sy Brezila Goavana iray vaovao eo amin'ny sehatry ny Fitaovam-piadiana tsy mahafaty [mg] |
6 | Some of the items on display were the same which would be used against the Turkish population less than one month later. | Raha hinoan-teny ny sampana mifandray amin'ny mpampahalala vaovao ao aminy dia ny Condor irery ihany ny orinasa breziliana mivarotra fitaovam-piadiana amin'ny fitondrana Tiorka. |
7 | Agência Pública/Used under Creative Commons license Less than one month before the beginning of recent anti-government protests in Turkey, the Brazilian government backed a meeting between national weapons firms and foreign buyers in Istanbul. | Ankoatra ny bala mahatody lavitra sy ny grenady “mandihy”, dia mivarotra tsifitra gazy mandatsa-dranomaso sy misy dipoavatra, baomba mitera-tsetroka, bala fingotra ary poleta mandeha amin'ny herinaratra tsy ahafahan'izay tratrany mikofoka fantatra amin'ny anarany hoe “tasers” ihany koa ny Condor. |
8 | During the International Defense Industry Fair 2013 in Turkey from May 7 and 10, the Brazilian Agency for the Promotion of Exports and Investment (Apex Brasil) and the Brazilian Defense and Security Industries Association (ABIMDE [en]) - whose vice-president, Carlos Frederico Queiroz de Aguiar, is president of Condor - set up an eye-catching display in the Brazilian pavilion. | |
9 | In the area set aside for Condor, a showcase displayed a variety of metallic projectiles, grenades, and cans of colored sprays, the same as those which would be used a few weeks later in the streets of the same country. | Tamin'ny 2011 dia nohamafisiny ny fivarotana fitaovam-piadiana mankany amin'ny firenena Arabo nefa laviny ny fivarotana izany mivantana nankany Barhaïn. Hita ao anatin'ny mpanjifany kosa ny fitondrana ao Emirà Arabo Mitambatra izay nandeha ny andia-tafiny nankany Bahraïn. |
10 | Beneath the name of the company in red were ballerina grenades and “diverse defense solutions” - according to the industry jargon - such as 13 types of 40 x 46mm incapacitating munitions for launchers. | Tamin'ny volana avrily tamin'ity taona ity dia nanasonia fifanaraham-barotra taranjam-bala tsy mahafaty miisa 600 000 mitentina 12 tapitrisa dolara tamin'ny fitondrana Emirà ny Condor. Nolazaina tamin'ny vahoaka nandritra ny fampirantiana iraisampirenena momba ny fiarovana sy ny fitandroam-pilaminana ( LAAD) tao Rio de Janeiro izany. |
11 | Apex hadn't responded to questions about Condor and other Brazilian firms' incentive in Turkey by the time of this report's publication. | Tsy ampy iray volana nialoha ny rotaka tao Torkia, nikarakara fihaonan'ireo orinasam-panamboaram-piadiana tamin'ireo mpividy vahiny avy any Istanbul ny fitondrana breziliana. |
12 | According to the Turkish newspaper Sozcu, Minister of Commerce Hayati Yazici stated that in the last 12 months, the country imported 628 tons of tear gas and pepper spray, mostly from Brazil and the United States. These imports were valued at 21 million US dollars. | Nandritra ny fampirantiana iraisampirenena momba ny fiarovana IDEF 2013, ny 7 ka hatramin'ny 10 mey, no nitazona tranoheva mamirapiratra tao amin'ny Fanevan'i Brezila ny sampan-draharaha breziliana misahana ny fampiroboroboana ny fanondranana sy ny fampiasam-bola (Apex Brasil) sy ny fikambanan'ny orinasa breziliana misahana ny fitaovam-piarovana sy ny fitandroam-pilaminana (Abimde), ka ao anatin'izany ny filoha lefitra Carlos Frederico Queiroz de Aguiar, izay filohan'ny Condor. |
13 | Condor is the only Brazilian firm that sells weapons to the government of Turkey, according to a statement from their press secretary. | |
14 | In addition to long range projectiles and ballerina grenades, Condor also produces tear gas and pepper sprays, smoke bombs, rubber bullets and stun guns, known as Taser guns. | Ao amin'ny faritra natokana ho an'ny Condor, ahitana tora-javatra metalika isan-karazany, grenady sy kapoakan-tsifitra mitovy amin'izay nampiasaina, roa herinandro taty aoriana, teny an-dalamben'io firenena io ihany. |
15 | In 2011, the firm confirmed the sale of weapons to Arab countries, although they denied selling weapons directly to Bahrain, where police cracked down on protesters the following year. | Eo ambanin'ny anaran'ny orinasa no aranty ihany koa ireo greandy “mandihy” sy ireo “karazana isafidianana hiarovan-tena” (araka ny fomba fitenin'io orinasa io) tahaka ireo karazana kojakojam-piadiana tsy mampikofoka 13 karazana de 40/46mm ho an'ireo mpitoraka. |
16 | Among their clients was the government of the United Arab Emirates, which sent troops in support of the Bahraini government. | Tranohean'ny Condor ao amin'ny faneva breziliana tany Torkia tamin'ny mey 2013. Misy ny Fitaovam-piadiana naranty teto no hampiasaina namelezana ny vahoaka iray volana taty aoriana. |
17 | In April 2013, Condor signed yet another contract with the government of the UAE, valued at 12 million US dollars, to supply 600,000 units of non-lethal munitions. | /Sampam-baovaom-Panjakana/lisansa Creative Commons Tamin'ny fanontaniana mifandraika tamin'ny fepetra manokana nomena ny Condor sy ny orinasa Breziliana hafa ho any Torkia, tsy namaly ny Apex tamin'ny fotoana nivoahan'ity voka-panadihadiana ity. |
18 | The agreement was announced during LAADEXPO 2013 [en], the largest defense and security exposition in Latin America, which took place at Riocentro in April. | Araka ny gazety tiorka Sozcu, dia nanambara, hono, ny minisitry ny varotra Hayati Yazici fa tao anatin'ny 12 taona farany, dia nanafatra baomba mandatsa-dranomaso sy tsifitra dipoavatra 628 taonina avy any Brezila sy Etazonia mitentina 21 tapitrisa dolara ny firenena. |
19 | In February 2013, ABIMDE participated in another weapons fair, this time in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. | Tamin'ny volana febroary tamin'ity taona ity dia nandray anjara tamin'ny foaram-pitaovam-piadiana hafa notontosaina tany Abou Dhabi any Emirà Arabo Mitambatra ny Abimde. |
20 | Again, Condor participated in the event as the only Brazilian firm producing non-lethal weapons. | Mpandray anjara tokana teo amin'ny famokarana fitaovam-piadiana tsy mahafaty tamin'ny anaran'i Brezila ny Condor. |
21 | Last June 3, 2013, Brazil signed the Arms Trade Treaty at the United Nations. | Nanao sonia momba ny fifanekena ara-barotra fitaovam-piadiana (ATT amin'ny teny anglisy) teo anatrehan'ny Firenena Mikambana i Brezila tamin'ny 3 jona teo. |
22 | According to the text, which aims for the elimination of weapons trade for genocide, terrorists, and international organized crime, “trade in conventional weapons would be regulated, establishing standards for their export and promoting more transparency in their transfer.” | Hita ao amin'io dina io izay mikendry ny hanafoanana ny fivarotana fitaovam-piadiana handripaham-bahoaka, hampihorohoroana na ny fikambanan-jiolahy iraisampirenena, “tokony asiana fepetra manaraka mason-tsivana ahitana mangarahara kokoa eo amin'ny fampitana azy ny fivarotana fitaovam-piadiana manara-penitra”. |
23 | Considered a great advance for a country which avoids transparency regarding the sale of Brazilian weapons - the Minister of Development, Industry, and Foreign Trade refuses to divulge the numbers of firms which export weapons, for example - the treaty doesn't have specific definitions about the trade of non-lethal weapons. Condor's products are sold to more than 40 countries. | Fomba fihetsika vaovao izany natao izany ho an'ity firenena midify ny mangarahara ity raha eo amin'ny fivarotana fitaovam-piadiana breziliana… Nandà ny hanome ny anaran'ireo orinasa manondrana fitaovam-piadiana ny minisitry ny fampandrosoana ny indostria sy ny varotra ivelany (marina fa tsy voalazan'ny dina ny fepetra manokana momba ny fivarotana fitaovam-piadiana tsy mahafaty). |
24 | The Ministry of Development, Industry, and Foreign Trade refuses to divulge data on Brazilian companies which export arms.
