A few days ago, tourism in Armenia drastically increased. About 250 young people from 25 foreign countries have arrived in Yerevan to participate in the pan-Armenian international conference. The organizer was the chair of the International Armenian Congress (more correctly the Armenian union in Russia), Ara Abrahamyan. The man has done a good thing to …

At least, the noise connected with radio “Liberty” had a “happy end”. The “last bastion of free speech” in Armenia was not closed (even though it is clear that the decision is not final).

The IT field deems to be one of the most important and developing sectors of the Armenian economy. There is no need to also note that the parliamentary elections were falsified with “Information Technologies” so well that everyone was surprised.

May 9 celebrations are getting more and more lavish by the year. It’s surprising that the more deteriorated the Karabakh conflict resolution gets for us, the more solemnly the holiday is celebrated.
