Boasting high species richness and levels of endemism, among other exceptional characteristics, this mountainous region between the Black and Caspian Seas is globally important for biodiversity conservation. In the upcoming section of this thirty-ninth issue of Russian Conservation News, we spotlight one of the countries at the heart of this special region: Armenia. The following pages of the journal offer a rounded conservation profile of the country, including descrip- tions of its varied landscapes and rich biodiversity. Although the pres- ent Armenian state is no larger than Russia’s Lake Baikal, its landscapes are remarkably diverse, including semi-desert, juniper sparse forest, broadleaf forest, mountain steppe, and sub-alpine meadow habitats. These habitats harbor many rare species, such as the Persian leopard, which stealthily prowls Armenia’s southern regions. In this section, you will read about the research work of A view from Armenia’s highest peak, Mt. Aragats. two dedicated Armenian scientists to Photo by C.

  • Urban Planning As Cultural Process : a Study of Armenia, Colombia
    URBAN PLANNING AS CULTURAL PROCESS: A STUDY OF ARMENIA, COLOMBIA BY CURTIS R. CLICK A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1980 Copyright 1980 by Curtis R. Click ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The preparation of this dissertation has reminded me once again that big projects seldom are accomplished alone. I have numerous people to thank for their help. The members of my doctoral committee have been both patient and supportive during this period of research and writing. Special thanks are due Paul Doughty, who coaxed this study along in weekly installments during the first five months of 1980. Tony Oliver Smith, Paul Magnarella, Felicity Trueblood, and Carl Feiss all encouraged me in the research and read and critiqued drafts of this study. Elizabeth Eddy was important to the early development of the research design. I received gratifying support from several people and institutions while conducting research in Colombia. Luz Rueda, of the Ministry of Education, and Efrain Otero and Lee de Gauffray, of COLCIENCIAS, were instrumental in orient- ing my research to western Colombia. Lee de Gauffray aided in revising my research design "in the field." The Departamento de Planif icacion y Desarrollo Ambiental of the Division de Arquitectura , of the University of Valle, in Cali, graciously granted me an institutional affiliation. Jairo Mazorra especially shared many insights into the 111 Colombian urban system and encouraged my research. Gilma Mosquera Torres, Jacques Aprille-Gniset , and Harold Martinez also widened my understanding of urban development in their country.

Gasparyan, Z. Hayrapetyan. Maniulative tactics employed by Azerbaijani authors in online media resources. Recent investigations have established that manipulation is the abuse of language realized through various consciously employed linguistic means aimed to influence the listeners’ or readers’ social, interpersonal and mental states and behaviours, thus misdirecting their actions. Intentionality as one of the basic parameters of manipulation, no doubt, exercises a destructive effect on an individual, group or society at large. Depending on the range of their manipulative attitudes and intentions, often reaching beyond the bounds of morality, manipulators tend to bend reality, distort facts and through seemingly persuasive argumentation and proofs present their subjective reality as truth. This presupposes the employment of certain manipulative tactics and techniques meant to guarantee the manipulator’s success. The present case study attempts to expose the manipulative techniques and tactics deliberately employed by the Azerbaijani author of the article “Armenian So-Called Genocide”, published in the Azerbaijani online news medium “Azvision.az”. The object of the paper consists
