Another election is over in Armenia , this time the Yerevan Municipal Elections, or to be more exact, the Elections to the Council of Elders. They ended in the Armenian style: everyone is displeased and ready to make a revolt, but in reality the lost parties seek minimum political dividends in this easily predictable and clear game. The point doesn't lie in falsifications - they exist everywhere - it lies in the miserable doom of the radical Armenian opposition which was not even able to take priority of the negligible advantage it had allegedly gained after the Presidential Elections of 2008.

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.
