Pic: Is this the future of Yerevan?



Is this the future of our fair capital? It would be a stretch to compare Moscow to Yerevan, that much is true, but the above picture is a possible glimpse into the future of a fast growing city, one that puts profits ahead of a sustainable, long-term growth.

Armenian Stabbed to Death in Moscow



This is simply outrageous! Russia is supposed to be Armenias friend, yet is stands idly by while innocent minorities are slaughtered on its streets. This is despicable!
46-year-old Armenian immigrant Karen Abramian who was earlier attacked by skinheads in the Russian capita, died in the hospital.

...while stabbing him the [three] unknown young men shouted nationalistic slogans.

Two suspects have been arrested in connection with this murder.
Putin: instead of rigging elections and arresting innocents for opposing you, secure the streets of the capital for the people! How many more innocent men, women, and children have to die before Russians snap out of their Vodka-induced comas and voice their outrage?

Yet Another Armenian Attacked in Moscow



Remember the little boy who was killed in Moscow? This is a disturbing trend.
Today at the center of Moscow unknown people have fired shots at Arabuli Robinson and his driver Emil Karapetyan, Radio Station "Azatutyun" informs.

According to the prosecutor's office, the criminals fired just as Robinson and Karapetyan were getting into their Toyota. It was an attempt on their lives, the prosecutor's office reports.

Robinson and Karapetyan have been taken to hospital. No other details are reported.
What kind of an ally is Russia if it is doing seemingly nothing to prevent the deaths of innocent people, especially minorities? Friends aren't just economic.

Robert Kocharian Receives Orthodox People’s Unity International Foundation Award



I had no idea there was such an award, did you?
On January 21, a solemn awarding ceremony of the Orthodox People’s Unity International Foundation for “Outstanding activities for consolidation of unity of orthodox nations” took place in Moscow. The awarding ceremony was lead by Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia Alexi II. This year the awards were handed to:

-Armenian President Robert Kocharian for the contribution to the development of the church-state relations;

-UN 6th Secretary General Butros-Butros-Gali for prominent personal contribution to the promotion of Christian spiritual values;

-Gazprom Russian company for assistance in renaissance of the Russian Orthodox Church and other churches throughout the globe.

The Armenian President is awarded as a consistent and active adherent to extension of Christian influence within the modern society.
While some countries fight bloody wars to separate the church from the state, Kocharyan is awarded for its further integration. A more apt award I cannot imagine.

Armenian Boy Murdered in Moscow



When will these hate-filled acts stop? When will Russia do something about it?
Moscow law enforcement bodies informed Interfax that a body of a young boy was detected not far from 45 Kostanayevskaya Street.

“The law officials detected the body of Arthur Martirosyan, born in 1991, who went to one of Moscow schools and was in its 7th year of studies,” the source says.

The investigation says the young boy was found stabbed in his left thorax. A criminal case is instituted.
Does it matter to the family that a case has been launched? Most likely they won't find the person responsible, and even if they do, no amount of "justice" will bring their son back. What Russia needs to do is to completely ban the organization of such groups, as they do nothing more than hate other groups, whether Armenian, Georgian, Azeri, Jewish, or some other group. This has got to stop.

Armenia & Azerbaijan Discuss Nagorno-Karabakh



It's about time that this issue be resolved, once and for all.
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov will meet today with his Armenian counterpart, Vartan Oskanyan, in Moscow to discuss a settlement to the bitterly dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azeri territory occupied by Armenian troops...

The meeting will be a part of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group, co-chaired by Russia, France and the United States, which has been attempting to broker a settlement to the dispute for more than a decade.
Let's hope some good comes from this meeting. War is not what we need.
