Armenia and world:

All words uttered by Erdogan in Baku, are simply… words

Coming to power in 2002, the Justice and Development Party led by Erdogan promised "zero problems with neighbors".

May 16, 2009
And again everything resumes its normal course: Heads of States declare what their citizens seek to hear from them, curtseys are dropped, but in reality everything proves to be exactly the opposite. Prime Minister Erdogan's visit to Baku, called as if to quiet the latter, was not an exception. However, all the words pronounced by Erdogan in Milli Majlis and at the press conference were nothing else but simply… words.
Politics:

One more "road map" or just another myth?

No president of Armenia, if he values his life, will sign a murderous agreement with Baku, whose fruits will be first of all used by Turkey, and then by great powers.

May 9, 2009
The successive meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Prague once again was unproductive. Such was, at least, the impression of the statements, which as always, were filled with on-duty, non-committal phrases. In a word, no "breakthrough" occurred. Nevertheless, Mathew Bryza as always stayed true to himself and again said inopportunely that "an agreement on the Basic Principles was achieved", which immediately caused sharp reaction in Stepanakert.

Armenia celebrates the Holy Resurrection

The symbols of Easter in the old days were straw dolls Grandma Utis, mistress of the Armenian cuisine, and Grandpa Paz, who held in hands exactly 40 threads, a stone being tied at the end of each one.

April 11, 2009
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.
Economy:

World financial crisis blighted the Armenian job market

According to analysts' assessments, demand for specialists in PR, marketing and graphic design will decrease dramatically.

February 23, 2009
The impact of the world financial crisis on the Armenian economy and social state of people has already become perceptible, especially in the population employment sector. The alarm has already sounded for a number of employment agencies: employers' offers are decreasing in ratio with the increasing labor supply.
