Against the background of the constantly changing situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict regulation, an impression is created that the Armenian-Turkish relations are in a certain sense frozen and are even brought to naught. In fact, after the "historical" visit of Ambassadors Smbatyan and Bülbüloğlu to NKR, Armenia and Azerbaijan and after the rather sharp statements issued by the Karabakh side following the ambassadors' visit, all the discussions about the normalization of relations and opening of the border remained beyond the bounds of the main question. In this seeming recession rather a big role was played by the visit of Barack Obama to Moscow.

Basic political events of the dying week in Armenia were the work of the Council of Elders in Yerevan, sluggish protests of the opposition, break-up of the fact-gathering group of March 1 events, review of the tax bill in the RA Parliament, and suspension of funding provided to Armenia by the program "Millennium Challenges".

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.
