Currently, both the filing of an administrative complaint under an administrative act and the filing of a claim for a challenge result in the suspension of the execution of the administrative act. The draft proposes to provide an exception to the automatic suspension of an administrative act based on Article 83 of the Code of Administrative Procedure. As a result, a third party's challenge of an administrative act will not automatically lead to suspension of the execution of the administrative act. Instead, during Administrative court proceedings, at the request of the plaintiff, the Court may wholly or partially suspend the execution of the administrative act by the general order envisaged by Article 83 of the Code of Administrative Procedure. We’d also like to note that this Draft has been developed due to the joint efforts of TK and Partners and the Ministry of Justice of RA See more here #YourSupportTeam SYSTEM OF INCOME DECLARATION FOR INDIVIDUALS At a meeting held on May 30, 2020, the Prime Minister of Armenia announced his intention to introduce a system of income declaration for individuals in Armenia.

Throughout the time, many fables and various stories of the past have been created and enriched the Armenian literature. One of the most prominent Armenian legends is Sasuntsi Davit epos or the epic of David of Sassoun. This is an Armenian national epic based on folklore. The History of Sasuntsi Davit Epos This Armenian legend is also known as “Sasna Tsrer” (Daredevils of Sassoun). The word “tsur” has different meanings in this context. It means crazy, courage, possessed, frantic, etc. One of the stories in the epos was written by Garegin Srvandztyants in 1873 and titled as “David of Sasun and Mher’s Door”. In 1889, another version was written by Manuk Abeghyan, and in 1939, with a group of epic specialists, Hovsep Orbeli publish the original collection of “Sasna Tsrer” which includes 60 narratives. One of the Armenian national poets - Hovhannes Toumanyan wrote Sasuntsi David poem. He was inspired by the Sasna Tsrer epic. The Structure and The Main Heroes of The Sasuntsi Davit Story The story consists of four main parts, and each part tells the story of a generation and is named after the main character of the branch: Sanasar and Baghdasar - the main heroes in this part are two brothers, sons of Tsovinar, the daughter of the Armenian king Gagik. There is something unrealistic related to how two sons were born. Once when Tsovinar was walking, she felt thirsty and prayed the heaven and a spring appeared in the rock. She drank two sips of water from the magic spring and got pregnant with twin boys. Mher The Great: This part of the epos is also known as Mher the Lion, because in the story, Mher killed a lion which was a plague for the people. Mher is the most important figure in this part. He is the son of Sanasar. Davit is Mher’s son and the main character of the Epic. Davit had a childhood full of hardships. He had to grow up with the absence of his parents, living with Ismil Khanum an enemy of his nation. Later he returned Sasun and rebuilt Maruta St Astvatsatsin the church founded by his father. He liberated the country from the Arabs. Little Mher was Davit’s the son and named after his grandfather – Mher the Lion. Davit cursed him and wished him to be immortal and childless. The curse came true. Sasna's last daredevil closed himself in Agravakar rock, saying: I will not stay in this world, If the world is evil, And the land is lazy. When the world destroyed and rebuild, When wheat is the size of a rosehip, And the barley is the size of a walnut, There is an order at that time, to come out. #YourSupportTeam .

    English Translations of the Armenian National Epic “David of Sassoun”

    Вестник Северо-Восточного федерального университета имени М. К. Аммосова: Серия Эпосоведение, № 2 (06) 2017 УДК 398.22=111=03.19 H. A. Hambardzumyan Ереванский государственный университет SOME FEATURES OF TRANSLATION OF THE EPIC: ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS OF THE ARMENIAN NATIONAL EPIC “DAVID OF SASSOUN” Abstract. Translation of folklore and in particular the epic, is related with some challenges such as translation of words that incorporate and convey the outline and national identity of epic narrative. So, how do we translate an epic narrative from one language to another? Beyond the translation of words, the interpreter needs to transmit the cultural and social-historical realities of a particular culture to another. Often translators resort to footnotes, however the extensive usage of footnotes can be exhaustive and make the text difficult to read. On the other hand, if all the words are translated via the literal layer of the vocabulary, the epic becomes stripped off its national identity, thus becoming a mere retelling of well-known mythological and epic motives. These problems on different scales are seen in Russian and English translations of the epic “David of Sassoun”. The Armenian national epic has several English translations – “David of Sassoun”: The Armenian Epic in Four Cycles” by Artin Shalian (1964), “Daredevils of Sassoun” by Leon Surmelian (1964) and “The Saga of Sassoun” by Mischa Kudian (1970) etc. Each translation addresses and solves the question of translation of epic in comparative ways. This article focuses primarily on Artin Shalyan’s and Leon Surmelian’s translations, while dealing with other translations in deriving argument and analysis.

    Armenian Literature Classes in Public High Schools: Understanding the Preference for Canonical Literature By Arusyak Gharagyozyan Presented to the Department of English & Communications in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts American University of Armenia Yerevan, Armenia May 15, 2020 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Literature Review 6 Research Questions 10 Methodology 11 Research Findings and Analysis 14 Conclusion 33 References 35 Appendices 37 3 Abstract Literature is one of the most important fields that carries and encompasses history and art. It’s a constantly changing sphere that is influenced by time, meaning while times are changing the literature should also evolve along with us. But is it the case for Armenian literature? This research aims to analyze the representation of Armenian literature through high school textbooks. The preference for the authors and literary works included in the textbooks, the omissions and misinterpretations are of primary concern. Armenian literature is one of the mandatory subjects taught at schools. It has an impact in shaping the worldview and mentality of the younger generation and as such in our times it is essential to have diverse, inclusive and non- stereotypical representation of literature. 4 Introduction One of the primary subjects taught at schools and colleges in Armenia is the Armenian literature class. Throughout the years, despite economical difficulties and political agitation as well as oppressed intellectual freedom during the Soviet Union era, Armenian literature remained a valuable cultural heritage. It’s not surprising that literature became one of the fundamental subjects to educate younger generations and nurture the sense of pride and belonging of Armenian culture.

    Chapter 1 Cinema, State, and Nation

    THE UNIVERSITY OF READING Cinema Regarding Nations Re-imagining Armenian, Kurdish, and Palestinian national identity in film Thesis awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, 2007 Department of Film, Theatre & Television Copyright © 2007, 2008 Tim Kennedy Declaration of original authorship Declaration I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged T C S Kennedy ii Abstract This thesis examines how film contributes to the collection of visual images and narratives that enable a community to imagine itself as a nation. It focuses on three such communities, the Armenians, the Kurds, and the Palestinians, who have been, or remain, stateless. It argues that, in the face of external threats, stateless nations and their diasporas require repeated re-imagining to ensure their continued existence. A starting point for the study is that cinema is an important site for this re- imagining in the way that it continually highlights concerns with national identity. Using a diverse collection of film in each case, the analysis identifies national themes, key symbols, and formal structures employed by film-makers to depict these nations. The films are categorised by means of the concept of “cinema regarding nations”, that is they are specifically about the respective nations. Through this categorisation, the thesis contributes to national cinema studies by facilitating the critical examination of a body of work which otherwise is fragmented. The study is comparative and uses a combination of textual and contextual analysis that enables the films from each case to be related to their political and social circumstances.
