Yerevan should not sign any document, reasoning from considerations of physical existence of Armenia and NKR

July 15, 2009 - 01:17 AMT  00:31 GMT
The promulgation of much discussed Madrid principles at long last occurred. Actually no one doubts that they are going to be unacceptable for Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia. However, some provisions of the framework agreement, which may be signed already this year, cause real concern and even fear. Before we try to explain what threat signing of the agreement can pose to the existence of NKR and Armenia, let us take as an axiom the following fact: Armenia should not sign any document, reasoning from considerations of safety and physical existence of not only Armenia, but also NKR. However, let us analyze the key points one by one.

Armenia celebrates the Holy Resurrection

April 11, 2009 - 21:39 AMT  00:31 GMT
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.
