Execution of the gas pipe Nabucco, which by significance is equal to the "Contract of the Century", i.e., to the oil pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, may fall to the ground. However, not at all will it occur through the fault of Russia, although the latter's indirect influence is perceived. Into this great gas game there interferes Iran and, what is most interesting - Armenia, which may take the place of Georgia in the prospective project. But if we also add Turkey's point of view to the project and to the profit expected from it, it becomes clear that there begins just another shuffle of interests.

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.
