A New Day for the Ancient Country

06.11.2005

The sooner the constitutional amendments referendum approaches, the more it becomes clear that this referendum is nothing but a political show and has nothing to do with the state. This is my opinion because despite all the promises and efforts made by both the authorities and the opposition, it is more like they are checking …

It is the same there as here

06.11.2005

Often our politicians say that citizens of Azerbaijan and Armenia differ much from each other. Taking into account the fact that people can differ from each other, as well as nations can differ, for example we can say that citizens of Armenia and Norway differ much from each other. But it is difficult to understand …

Still life with raddish

30.10.2005

I will not be revealing a secret by saying that the day after November 27 is November 28 and then there are days to follow. What I mean is that we are not going to follow a new time schedule or experience what happened after the Flood. November 27 is going to be just another …

National Cocktail

23.10.2005

A couple of days ago, I finally found the answer to the question that I had been pondering about for many years: “What is national?” Do you know how I found the answer? Guess. No, I did not get it from the Matenadaran, the History Museum, and not in any of Charents’s works. My friend …

Use what there is

23.10.2005

The majority of people never appreciate what it has. They live their life always trying to find something else; they die knowing that the thing that they want is somewhere distant, despite the fact that they are surrounded with the things needed to acquire that.” Chinese folktale The “Meghri 1” benevolent NGO is implementing a …

I’m on my way

16.10.2005

Until now, I am trying to find reasons for saying “yes” to the new Constitution ever since the first day that the constitutional amendments began. Just the fact that our country is taking a huge step towards Europe by passing the constitutional amendments is a good enough reason, but is that step really worth it …

Meghri- an attractive site

16.10.2005

Meghri is the South-end region of Armenia. Though it is not so large (644 square kilometers), however, it contains almost all the climatic zones: starting from torrid climate and ending up with Alpine climate. The centers of population are situated in territories of 600-1200 meters above sea level. Most of the 12.000 citizens of this …

Let’s win the war that we have already won

09.10.2005

Recently, I asked one of the officials of Karabagh, who is also an MP of the National Assembly of Karabagh, what was to become of the Karabagh conflict: “Everything is over”, he said very briskly. “Even the Turks know that it’s over”. He was obviously talking about the war and the positive effects it had …

The woman wearing ragged clothes with the beautiful hairstyle

02.10.2005

Can you imagine? No you can’t. Just try and imagine for a moment: the wife of a well paid official comes out of an elite beauty salon and immediately attracts your attention. She doesn’t attract your attention not with her beauty and not her hairstyle. But this really isn’t something worth imagining. Fine, I will …

What I want to become

28.09.2005

We stopped by a woman standing on the road and she took a seat in our car. She was going to the village. (I don’t mention the names of places, because they are all the same everywhere). She said it had been several years, that she lived in Russia with her family. I asked why …
