April 18, 2009 - 23:17 AMT  21:04 GMT
The past week was unusually saturated with events, most of which were quite expected. It especially concerns the "GUESS" game the Turkish Foreign Minister played, i.e. whether he will arrive or not, although after the meeting in Istanbul with Barack Obama it was clear that Ali Babacan could not but arrive in Yerevan. However, his arrival changed almost nothing in the Armenian-Turkish relations: the agreement on restoration of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey, declared by the western press on April 16, was not signed.

Armenia celebrates the Holy Resurrection

April 11, 2009 - 21:39 AMT  21:04 GMT
On April 11, the Armenian Apostolic Church (AAC) begins to celebrate the Easter, one of the six patronal festivals. From sunset till late night all the churches of the Armenian Apostolic Church serve Liturgy that marks the end of Lent and the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The celebration of the dead and resurrected god dates back to the ancient Egyptian religion, when the Egyptians celebrated the death and resurrection of God Osiris. Present Christian Easter takes its origin from the Old Testament. The old Jews celebrated the Passover (Pesach) as the holiday of exodus of Jews from Egypt.
