Today marks the beginning of astronomical spring, the vernal equinox. Levon Azizyan, director of the Center for Hydrometeorology and Monitoring, wrote about this on his Facebook page.

“Today at 18:46 Yerevan time, the Sun will pass from the southern hemisphere of the sky to the northern hemisphere, which will be the beginning of astronomical spring.

What is the vernal equinox?

The vernal equinox is one of the most interesting astronomical phenomena. It is considered that day and night are equal on that day, regardless of geographical latitude. However, this is not actually the case, due to a phenomenon called refraction.

Starting from March 20, the seasons in the hemispheres “change places”. Astronomical Spring begins in the Northern Hemisphere, and Astronomical Autumn begins in the Southern Hemisphere. Astronomical spring continues until the summer solstice, which occurs on June 21.

The calculation of Easter, the day of the miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ, one of our favorite moving church holidays, is tied to the vernal equinox. “Each year, Easter is the Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, and this year it will be celebrated on April 5,” he wrote.

“Hraparak” newspaper writes:

Nikol Pashinyan, who is trying to turn the state apparatus into his loyal electorate with billions of bonuses ahead of the elections, is not perceived by ordinary civil servants, even by those who sympathize with the CP.

Our acquaintances who work in the departments told us that the “happy bus” of the KP and especially Pashinyan’s unrestrained eating on live air, how he eats pie, sujukh, lavash by chewing on both sides, is actively discussed in the ministries. They ask each other when we will come to our senses, have a serious leader and get rid of this circus.

By the way, some even doubt that Pashinyan is fasting, because even the average housewife knows that yogurt is also added to the dough of the pie, and food of animal origin must be excluded from the fasting menu.

What will the government of Georgia, for example, think, seeing how Nikol Pashinyan arbitrarily forbids the Catholicos of All Armenians to go to Georgia and participate in the funeral of Ilya II?

And that Nikol Pashinyan forbids, not the court, I think no sane person has any doubt here.

So, what will the government of Georgia think about it? I am not saying that Tbilisi has nothing else to think about and should think about it. Simply, it is indisputable that they will be interested, and therefore a tacit position will be formed.

What will it look like? Will they think that Nikol Pashinyan is a very “strong guy” or, on the contrary, will they appreciate how narrow-minded Pashinyan really is? The whole issue is that such internal episodes are also of great importance for the external image and external perceptions of the leaders of the state. A person cannot be narrow-minded inside and broad-minded outside.

And taking into account the fact that Georgia in the conditions of the current geopolitical realities has a special significance for Armenia, although it has always been so, it is extremely important how the government of Armenia will be perceived by the government of Georgia simply in its descriptive sense.

There is no doubt that Tbilisi has a “positional” advantage, for very obvious reasons. And this is where the issue of perceptions and attitude at the personal level becomes very important for the balance of relations and possible discussions. And this is not at all a question measured by toasts or playing the “udarnik”. It’s all primitive entourage. In practice, perceptions are dictated, derived from deeper behavioral contours, which are expressed perhaps more in the inner life of the behavior of the given government.

Nikol Pashinyan, without naming names and without providing concrete facts, accuses some oppositionists of not understanding politics and “inciting war” in the fall with their statements (if they win the elections).

Maybe he wants to honestly admit that he didn’t understand anything from that “damned politics” either. That is why he made statements and steps that inadvertently “brought” Artsakh and Armenia into various wars and catastrophic losses.

Let’s deal a little with the “revisionism” of electoral processes.

2018 on December 9, the majority of RA citizens voted for CP. Shortly after, the disastrous 44-day war broke out and we lost thousands of young lives and about 7,800 square kilometers of territory.

2021 on June 20, apparently the majority of RA citizens went again and allegedly voted for the CP. After some time, there were several short war operations where we lost hundreds of lives, all of Artsakh and Armenia’s 220 sq/km area.

After these facts, Nikol Pashinyan again says roughly the following, that if you don’t elect CP, there will be a war by September.

And maybe the truth is the opposite? if for the third time the citizen of Armenia chooses KP, there is a high probability that after some time, we as a nation will face the next threat.

And maybe in the event of a collective victory of the opposition and nationwide consolidation, there is a possibility that real peace will be established and Armenia will cease to be a tool for the grandiose politics of others.

It can be seen from the statements of the CP that what is scary for them is not the disruption of the existing unstable peace or a possible war, but their loss of power.

P.S. Isn’t it better for the KP to add new articles to the administrative and electoral codes, according to which, if an RA citizen votes in favor of a non-KP, he is considered a “person acting against peace” and is fined a minimum salary, for example a thousand times. In case of repeating the same act for the second time (in the next parliamentary elections), the citizen is deprived of the right to vote. The third time, when there is nothing left of sovereign Armenia led by CP, it is justified.
