The Islamic world surrounding Armenia can be divided into two groups. By the way, we have considered only those countries, which have the chances and the potential to become regional leaders not only within the confines of the Great Near East, but also in the entire Southwestern Asia. Thus, if we divide the potential leaders into groups, the following picture is obtained: Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan on the one hand, Iran, Syria and Egypt - on the other. Division into two groups is conditional and reflects the attitude of these states towards Armenia.

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.

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 alarm has already sounded for a number of employment agencies: employers' offers are decreasing in ratio with the increasing labor supply.
