Until recently Turkey used to be the only country in the region, with which Georgia held more or less normal relations, not counting Azerbaijan. But the latest demarche of the Georgian Foreign Ministry showed that actually Official Tbilisi cannot live in harmony with her neighbors. First Georgia strained relations Armenia, then Iran, and now Turkey. It is possible that tomorrow Azerbaijan may replenish this range of "bad neighbors". Thus far Saakashvili vows fidelity to "brother Ilham", but no one knows how long he will be able to keep it. It's quite understandable that the Georgian President's steps are all directed against Russia, but consequently they are also directed against the Russian-Turkish alliance.

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.

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.

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.
