Unique expression of love

April 10, 2007

It turns out that some of our compatriots quite uniquely express their love for different well-known people. In this case that expression is made through an act, which becomes clear when you look at this picture. This is what was left from the poster of the “3 million” magazine located on Tumanyan street. The poster shows (more correctly used to show) the third page of the magazine, where Sofi Mkheyan, Ruben Hayrapetyan, president of soccer federation, talk show host Nazeli Hovhannisyan, and Andre were displayed. Sofi Mkheyan was the first one to inform the magazine about what happened to the poster. A bit later incessant calls were received at the magazine’s office. People were saying, “you know, they cut the picture of Mkheyan from your poster…” Also, this unique expression of love is not a first precedent. Many others have suffered because of this act. ...

Currently, the most talked-about topic in Paris is the French Senate’s approval of the bill penalizing anyone who denies the Armenian Genocide and Turkey’s scandal. This was the “top headline” of French presses for a couple of days after the approval. Although the Year of Armenia in France has already kicked off, however not everyone knows about Armenian culture in Paris. Instead, the main event in Europe’s “capital city” was the “World Automobile Expo 2006”, which takes place two times a year. Based on the statistics of major international automobile-selling companies, 1,848,112 cars were sold in Europe in September of this year. The cars that were most sold were Ford, Fiat, Alfa-Romeo, Lancial, Volvo, Land Rover and Jaguar.

One of the recent publications of the French “JDE” (“Paper for children”, 12 pages) pictured weekly was issued on the topic of “Armenia - my friend”. The mentioned publication was totally dedicated to Armenia. “The Armenian year in France is a very good opportunity to have closer relations with Armenia, which history and culture are too rich”, writes the first page of the paper. The paper writes general information about Armenia, Yerevan, Ararat biblical mountain, Sevan, etc. The most interesting information in the paper concerns Karabakh. “It was a territory that was in Azerbaijan and populated mostly by Armenians. It served a reason for war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 1991-1994. Armenia won the war and captured ¼ of the Azeri territory”. The paper dedicated separate pages to publications about Charles Aznavur, the Armenian Genocide, the Ararat mountain, French language in Armenia and community-level cooperation between France and Armenia....

Anush MKRTCHYAN | December 23, 2004

Society usually call people who don’t live life like everybody else or go to the extreme to get what they want as “crazy” or “strange”. Rev Brown can be considered as one of those people. Some of our photographers had spotted him on one of the streets of Yerevan. The photographers had not only been attracted by the foreigner’s free dresswear and “sandals”, but also, his bicycle with a little cart. Later, the photographers found out that he had been traveling around the world with that bicycle for over a year. They invited Ray for a “cup of coffee” at our newspaper edition. “Unfortunately I am English by nationality, but I also have a little Irish blood in me,” said Rev during an interview with us. “Why do I say unfortunately? It is because England took part in the war against Iraq.” Rev went out on his expedition on November 5, 2003, however, he doesn’t consider himself a traveler but rather someone who is trying...
