Politics: Turkish activists succeed in PR action in ArmeniaBeklevic and Orsek have failed the conference they wanted to organize with Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation. October 29, 2010 The arrival of representatives of rather obscure and marginal party – Powerful Turkey – in Yerevan has become a subject of close attention of the Armenian media and some experts rather than the RA National Security Service (NSS). Possibly, everything would have been normal – rather serious Turkish experts and political analysts arrive in Armenia often and nobody invites them to the NSS.

However, it is unclear why Armenians have fallen for it. Culture: Armenia hosts the most delicious festivalThe initiators of the barbecue fest promise a better organization next year.
