  • 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.

  • Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery
    KAMRAN IMANOV Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery KAMRAN IMANOV * Tall Armenian Tales: a Guide to the “Art” of Heritage Thievery The book - “Tall Armenian Tales”, presented to the reader’s attention, consists of two thematic sections. Chapter I, entitled “I came, I saw, I... stole”, is about the misappropriation and armenization of intellectual property of the Azerbaijani people, intellectual plagiarism of the Azerbaijani folklore, dastans (epics) and other epic works, the desire to seize the Azerbaijani bayati (Azerbaijani folk poems), proverbs and sayings. The book also narrates about the “armenization” of tales, anecdotes, music and other samples of folk genre. What is the common of these various manifestations of Armenian plagiary shown in the chapter “I came, I saw, ..., I stole”? The fact is that, firstly, these “tales” do not have an Armenian origin, but only an Armenian presentation. These tales are alien to the Armenian people; in addition, these are the same “anecdotes” in allegorical meaning of this term in the form of absurdities - false statements shown in Chapter II - “The Theatre of Absurd.” PREFACE .............................................................................................. 6 CHAPTER I. “I came, I saw,.. .1 stole”: about the Armenian tradition of misappropriation of the Azerbaijani cultural heritage ............................................................... 8 §1. “I c a m e , w h i c h briefly tells about the mass settlement of the Armenians in the South Caucasus .............................. 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS §2.

    Karabakh Oleg KUZNETSOV, PhD in History, MCL (Moscow, Russia) First Terrorist War: A Look from Russia (Transnational Armenian Terrorism and Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict of 1988-1994) End. For the beginning, see İRS-Heritage 2 (21), 3 (22) 2015 n addition to numerous acts of terrorism and wide- spread terrorist crimes related to the organization by Iforeign nationals of illegal armed groups in the terri- tory of Armenia and their participation in the activities of such groups, representatives of the Armenian side to the conflict committed other crimes of a similar nature during the Karabakh war, facts that were recorded on the Azerbaijani side. First of all, we are talking about a Car in which journalist S. Asgarova, Lt-Col Larionov, Maj Ivanov and Sgt Goyek were shot dead by Armenian terrorists on 9 January 1991 58 www.irs-az.com 4(23), WINTER 2015 very specific terrorist crime like an armed insurgency, criminal liability for which is stipulated by Article 279 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The main qualifying feature of this criminal act is the motiva- tion and goal-setting of participation in the crime: those guilty of committing it take action to change the constitutional system or the territorial integrity of the country. Actions of this kind were committed by soldiers of Armenian origin under the commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 336th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 23rd Motorized Infantry Division of the 4th Army of the CIS Joint Armed Forces under the command of Major Seyran Ohanyan, who not only seized fighting equipment - infantry fighting vehicles (BMP-2) - without a military order, but also used them against Azerbaijani territorial defense units in the battle of 25 February 1992 for the town of Khojali, which subsequently led to mass deaths of civilians in this town.

  • 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.
