Nine people were baptized. “Their parents testify to a spiritual change in the lives of many of the kids,” says Anna The British Isles South District youth mission team held an evangelistic campaign in Mwanza, Tanzania, Artsrunyan-Gonzales, director in July, followed by a leadership conference and workshops on AIDS prevention and understanding. of the Children’s Camp.

That can certainly be said of Grace Church of the Nazarene, in Chaltyr, Russia. Although this congregation of about 100 is situated in a small town of only 16,000, it is touching people not only in nearby villages and cities, but people in and from many other nations. Situated near the Sea of Azov, the town of Chaltyr’s history goes back to 1779 when the town was founded by Armenians who lived in the area. Grace Church of the Nazarene was established in October of 1992. It consists mainly of Armenians as well as people of other nationalities, professions, and ages who are united in their love for Christ and each other. Vasiliy Mamchitz, the pastor, and his wife Svetlana, were the founders of Grace Church. The congregation, which started with four to five people, invited a group of believers from the To Samaria has gone on to plant Bible study immigrants’ home country.

    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.

Акопян ДИСКУССИЯ ПО ВОПРОСУ ОБ АДМИНИСТРАТИВНОМ ЦЕНТРЕ МЯСНИКОВСКОГО РАЙОНА (1920-е гг.)1 Статья посвящена дискуссии по проблеме статуса города Нахичевани- на-Дону. Этот город, основанный в 1779 г. крымскими армянами, в 1926- 1928 гг. являлся административным центром Мясниковского района. Ни один национальный район Северо-Кавказского края не имел своего центра в городе, тем более таком крупном, как Нахичевань. Провозглашение Нахичевани административным центром района поддерживалось не только районными чиновниками и членами их семей, проживавшими в городе, но и широкими слоями общественности, видевших в этом глубокий национальный смысл. Иной мотив был у руководства края и округа. Определив Нахичевань в качестве центра района, они преследовали цель не допустить проникновения в состав руководства района сторонников клана Гадзиевых, имевших сильные позиции в местной власти. Только после полной ликвидации «гадзиевщины» планировалось центр района переместить в Чалтырь или Крым. Автор показывает, что на следующий год после создания Мясниковского района вышестоящее руководство начинает оказывать давление на власти района с целью принятия ими самими решения о переводе центра из Нахичевани в одно из сел. В дискуссии о статусе Нахичевани, как центра района, решалась судьба самого города. Без согласования со старожильческим армянским населением Дона, в 1928 г. центр района из Нахичевани-на-Дону был перенесен в село Крым, а затем в Чалтырь. В том же году город Нахичевань был присоединен к Ростову. 1 Исследование выполнено при поддержке РГНФ (РФФИ) в рамках научно- исследовательского проекта № 16-01-00319а.

The present article is concerned with condition, problems and development trends of agritourism of the Rostov region. This article provides a review of materials related to the research problem; regions of the Rostov region are considered from the perspective of agritourism development. Moreover, typing of agritourism clusters is carried out and social and economic impact of their performance is estimated. 1 Introduction Today agritourism is one of the most future-oriented kinds of tourism. Agritourism routs are usually laid through rural territories, where other kinds of tourism (educational, business, etc.) are not as developed as they are in towns and cities. It is agritourism that represents a growth area for rural economics. This kind of tourism is able to increase employment opportunities, to become a trigger for inflow of investments to enter rural territories resulting in enriching local citizens and social and sustainable development. Agritourism development may also promote rural infrastructure optimization, transport network evolution, building of hotels, catering establishments, family entertainment centres, etc. Not least important is positive impact of agritourism

  • Organization and Functioning of Accommodation Facilities As a Component of Rural Tourism Infrastructure in the Rostov Region

This study is aimed at analyzing rural accommodation facilities, identifying the list of basic and additional services of rural hospitality enterprises, such as accommodation services, catering, excursions and leisure activities for guests, taking into account the local authentic experience. The article reveals the concept and essence of rural tourism, justifies the relevance and expediency of the development of accommodation facilities as a component of the rural tourism infrastructure of the Rostov region. 1 Introduction The combination of hotels and other accommodation facilities acts as the main element of the concept of «tourism industry». It is the accommodation facilities that are the main component of the tourism infrastructure, since the accommodation service is a key element of the tourism product. Thanks to the emerging infrastructure, tourist resources are being developed, their attractiveness and accessibility for tourists are increasing, and the tourist capacity of the territory is growing.Thus, hotel services are the basis of the tourism offer, including that of the rural tourism. In this sphere, they take the form of accommodation in thematic rural accommodation facilities, farm guest houses and guest room rentals. According to the UNWTO data, rural tourism is one of the five main strategic directions of tourism development in the world. In developed European countries this type of tourism brings about 20-30% of the total revenue within the tourism industry.

Urban environment is a favourable locus for entrepreneurship and living, accumulating a significant share of regional and national administrative, financial and human resources, concentrating advanced public infrastructure and social sector services. In the process of regional development, the integration and coherence between cities strengthen, the functions are redefined, and the specialisation deepens, while the role of the central city(-ies) is reinforced. Consideration of inter-city intra- agglomeration socioeconomic integrity and functional interconnectivity is vital for efficient governance. However, the blurred boundaries of urban agglomerations impede elaboration of place-specific development policies on urban and regional growth. Our study is aimed at delimitation of urban agglomeration structure around the Rostov-on- Don – one of the ten largest cities of Russia and the administrative centre of the Southern federal district. Results suggest that Rostov agglomeration continues to evolve with a different level of integrity between city clusters of the three agglomeration arcs. We find that industrial clustering and transportation network determine the developmental trajectory of the urban agglomeration, shaping its spatial configuration and causing path- dependency.
