  • 40 CHURCHES in 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting
    40 CHURCHES IN 7 DAYS 7 DAY TOUR ITINERARY* DAY 1 Meeting at the airport, transfer to the hotel and check-in. The first steps of your Pilgrimage will start from Katoghike Holy Mother of God and Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Churches, both dating back to the XIII century, situated in the centre of Yerevan. To get acquainted with the capital of Armenia, we will have a City Tour in Yerevan - one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and the only one, that has a "Birth Certificate" - a cuneiform inscription, left by King Argishti I on a basalt stone slab about the foundation of the city in 782 BC, displayed at the Erebuni Fortress-Museum. Yerevan is often pegged as the "Pink City" because of the colour of the stones used to build much of the city centre. Another name of Yerevan is an "Open-air Museum", the reason of which you will understand upon your visit. We will start the City tour from visiting Cascade Monument which is about 450 meters high and 50 meters wide. A panoramic view from the top of Cascade opens up a breathtaking city view with Opera House, Mount Ararat, Swan Lake, Republic Square and posh Northern Avenue, along which you will walk down during the tour. We will also visit Matenadaran, which means a "book-depository" in old Armenian. Indeed, Matenadaran is the pride of Armenian culture, the world's largest storage of ancient manuscripts. In fact, it is a scientific research institute of ancient manuscripts which stores more than 17 thousand ancient manuscripts and more than 100 thousand ancient archival documents.

  • RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan's Statement at Presentation of FY
    RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan’s Statement at Presentation of FY 2009 State Budget to RA National Assembly Honorable President of the National Assembly, Dear Members of Parliament, In accordance with Article 90 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, the Government of the Republic of Armenia is hereby submitting to the National Assembly the FY2009 State budget bill. This bill is based on the government program as approved earlier this year by the National Assembly, which was developed based on the key provisions of the RA national security strategy and poverty reduction strategic paper, as well as on the electoral programs of the RA President and the coalition parties and the basic provisions of the political agreement. I have already had the opportunity to present the State budget’s main logic and underlying principles, as well as to address the four key factors necessary for overcoming the financial crisis. Now, I would like to concentrate on such important aspects of the Government’s economic policy as are standing out against the background of continued global economic and financial downturn. GLOBAL ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS The global financial crisis manifests itself in a sharp decrease of financial assets, liquidity, financial institutions’ capitalization and total lack of confidence. Market participants’ behavior is largely influenced by the bankruptcy of hundreds of companies and a breakdown in the work of developed countries’ financial markets. For the first time in history, the economics of the United States which is a key global actor, recorded a clear inflow of investment to mark the end of the dollar-triggered economic expansion.

  • Armenia, Republic of | Grove
    Grove Art Online Armenia, Republic of [Hayasdan; Hayq; anc. Pers. Armina] Lucy Der Manuelian, Armen Zarian, Vrej Nersessian, Nonna S. Stepanyan, Murray L. Eiland and Dickran Kouymjian https://doi.org/10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T004089 Published online: 2003 updated bibliography, 26 May 2010 Country in the southern part of the Transcaucasian region; its capital is Erevan. Present-day Armenia is bounded by Georgia to the north, Iran to the south-east, Azerbaijan to the east and Turkey to the west. From 1920 to 1991 Armenia was a Soviet Socialist Republic within the USSR, but historically its land encompassed a much greater area including parts of all present-day bordering countries (see fig.). At its greatest extent it occupied the plateau covering most of what is now central and eastern Turkey (c. 300,000 sq. km) bounded on the north by the Pontic Range and on the south by the Taurus and Kurdistan mountains. During the 11th century another Armenian state was formed to the west of Historic Armenia on the Cilician plain in south-east Asia Minor, bounded by the Taurus Mountains on the west and the Amanus (Nur) Mountains on the east. Its strategic location between East and West made Historic or Greater Armenia an important country to control, and for centuries it was a battlefield in the struggle for power between surrounding empires. Periods of domination and division have alternated with centuries of independence, during which the country was divided into one or more kingdoms.

  • Statement by RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan at the Presentation of the New System of E- Governance
    Statement by RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan at the presentation of the new system of e- governance Dear Colleagues, Today’s presentation has a very important mission, namely to introduce the steps undertaken by the Government of Armenia toward introducing a modern system of governance in the Republic of Armenia. To begin with, I wish to remind you that enhanced public sector efficiency was central in RA President’s electoral program. You may have noticed the President repeatedly stating the details of such an improved system during his public speeches. The introduction of the system of e- governance is part of public sector reform. First of all, the new system will help enhance efficiency and productivity in government activities providing for transparency and proper control on the part of society which will get access to public governance. On the one hand, they will be allowed to keep track of decision-making processes and on the other hand, they will have a possibility to follow up and check the status of their letters, petitions, applications, licensing requests at any stage of processing. This means they will be able to follow online the status of their applications, have the names of those in charge and see through the expected results of consideration. On the other hand, swift outreach will help reduce paperwork within the system of government. While paperwork used to take a lot of time and resources formerly, now we will be able to save both time and money thanks to this newly introduced system. A key asset is that all official documents will accessible for all the layers of government.

So, a city is the surroundings where a person can exhaustively secure the whole specter of exercising his/her rights that is of job, leisure, entertainment, intellectual and spiritual free expression. The advantage of a city is that it can suggest more than wild or adjusted nature. Cities are the attractions in which all kinds of technical and cultural investments are put for years and it gives the city an economical and touristic value. Due to flexible tourism cities have new attractions with which not any countryside nor natural surroundings can compete. The logical synthesis of city planning, architecture, culture, urban economy and mode of life, national and life form customs and requirements of the time can
