There is something symbolic in the date of the RF Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's visit to Ankara. If we recall that a year ago exactly on these days broke out the Georgian-South Ossetian war, which put the region on the verge of catastrophe, then the visit of Putin to Turkey can be attributed to the list of planned chances. But if we also recall that it was exactly after this war that the Turkish Premier introduced the Caucasus Platform of Peace and Stability, it can be assumed that Vladimir Putin goes to Turkey not only to discuss the customs problems emergent between the two countries, but also to settle some more serious issues. And the most serious issue now for Russia is the possible realization of the Nabucco project.

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.

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.
