10 Azerbaijani myths about Armenia and the Armenians In my previous column I shared my impressions of the visits and meetings in Azerbaijan. This time I want to tell about the myths and misinterpretations I discovered in the Azerbaijani society during the conversations I had during the visit.
Facing the myths: 4 days in Azerbaijan And so, the mutual visits of Armenian and Azerbaijani journalists to each other’s respective countries have taken place. It seemed impossible just a month ago, but now it is a fact of objective reality. Three Armenian journalists, including me, visited Baku, Quba and Gandzak (Gyanja) on November 17-21. In the same period of time, three Azerbaijani journalists paid visits to Yerevan, Dilijan, Shushi and Stepanakert.
Me, a US Army corporal, and a parade in Kosovo We all experience unforgettable moments at some point in life, journalists all the more so. If you follow my column, you will probably recall how I
There is no alternative to the European prospect in Armenia Although Armenia declared its commitment to European values as far back as the 1990s, joining the Council of Europe in 2001 and other European organizations later, Armenia has no shortage of people trying to undermine this commitment. Some of them oppose Europe against Armenia’s ally Russia, attempting to misinterpret the essence of European values. Others believe that Armenian people won’t be able to preserve their national values and identity if they adopt European values. I would like to add my personal voice to this debate on Armenia’s European prospects and system of values.
Antonina Mahari and Stalin’s phantom Last week I was accompanying a group of Lithuanian journalists and they asked Lithuania’s Ambassador to Armenia Erikas Petrikas whether there were Lithuanians in Yerevan.
“Sons” of Goebbels A few days ago, one of my friends sent me an article from the online version of authoritative Russian "Expert” magazine to look through.
It’s in Russia's interests… It’s currently in Russian authorities’ interests:
The Swiss musicians and Turkish-Armenian Protocols Around five years ago, on October 10, 2009, Armenia-Turkey Protocols were signed in Zurich.
How I upset Chavushoglu Not that I am a specialist of Turkish studies in the broad sense of the word. I have been to Turkey only twice, and I have already written about my first visit. During the second one, I climbed Mount Ararat with my friends.
How I ruined Erdogan’s day Along with the then journalist of “Azg” newspaper Tatul Hakobyan I was invited to Istanbul to cover NATO Summit in June, 2014.
Is it possible to subordinate internet? Recent events of global significance have this or that way been correlated with the Internet and new technologies.
Armenia-Estonia: same departing point, different paths By an unexpected coincidence the group of Armenian journalists appeared in Tallinn during the historical period of alternation in power in Estonia.
EU: With or without Armenia? The European Union is not ready and doesn't even want to start war with Russia to bring Armenia back to the European path.
Social networks fail to contribute to social dialogue According to the latest data, abut 125 thousand people in Armenia are registered in Facebook networks. If we assume that more than 3mln people really live in our country, and about half of that figure represents children and elderly people, we get that each tenth of the active age citizens is a part of that huge network.
“Society suffers from pathologic distrust” Last week, representatives of the ruling coalition submitted to National Assembly the candidacy of lawyer Karen Andreasian for the post of Ombudsman. He is better known as the host of “In fact” TV program.
