If active diplomacy consists in regular meetings and visits, one could say that Russia, USA and Europe are now intently watching the region. It is not surprising, however, since the desire of Europe to get rid of the energy dependence on Russia, the appearance of Turkey claiming to the status of a serious regional power in the light of the continuous disagreements of world powers with Iran, and the illusive hopes for signing the Armenian-Turkish agreement make the arising situation even more intriguing.

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.
