“Hraparak” newspaper writes:

Nikol Pashinyan, it’s true, he seems to have taken a time-out in the campaign against the Church until the end of the elections, however, according to our information, they are steadily advancing the plan to destroy the Church.

We learned from a government source that the next step will be AAP hitting financial bases. And they will do it not in the territory of Armenia, but abroad. They want to start legal proceedings against about 600 real estates, various objects, productions of church items, charitable funds and accounts belonging to AAP dioceses scattered around the world.

For that purpose, they decided to use their loyal people living in the diaspora. Now it is the stage of gathering information: with the support of law enforcement officers of different countries, they are collecting evidence regarding the “illegality” of the origin of these properties and companies, they will try to initiate criminal proceedings and bring political lawsuits to courts through Armenians who are citizens of different countries.

Therefore, first abroad of the Armenian Apostolic Church they will paralyze the work of the dioceses and take a lot of resources in connection with advocacy and other services. High pay and other privileges are promised to those who will participate in the implementation of this Pashinyan program.

Our source tells us that the work of this intelligence phase is coordinated by the Foreign Intelligence Service of Armenia in cooperation with the relevant services of Turkey and Azerbaijan. Deputy heads of services Arman Boshyan, Mutalu Tokai and Zaur Ismailov are involved in the project.

In these post-truth times, there are questions, topics and ideas about which it is impossible to remain silent, to tell half-truths, or to discuss something.

Everything about them is more than black and white.

Among such issues is honoring the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide and the struggle for the restoration of justice, which is not only morally important, but also highly pragmatic for our state and people today. To put it mildly, those who remain silent on this topic, and even more so those who question it, have nothing to do with Armenia and the Armenian people.

Therefore, we should remember and act in this direction every day, but especially on April 23, we can do it with a symbolic action by joining the “Torch March”, which, by the way, our “peace-loving neighbors” can’t stand.

Mourning is eternal, as long as there is no struggle.

The current government of Iran does not issue any threat that it will not carry out.

In response to the attack of the American warship on the Iranian cargo ship “Tuska”, today the naval forces of Iran’s IRGC carried out the promised retaliatory attack on three cargo ships that attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without Iranian permission, two of which were detained and directed to Iranian ports.

According to the Iranian side, one of them had a connection with Israel.

A satellite photo of the movement of Iranian missile-carrying motorboats in the Strait of Hormuz has appeared on the Internet, from which one can get a rough idea of ​​how the IRGC’s naval forces use the asymmetric “bee swarm” tactic, when several dozen small motorboats armed with missiles and anti-aircraft missiles can attack a large enemy warship at the same time, paralyzing its more technologically advanced and expensive defense systems.

Armenia is preparing for a significant expansion of the international route network. One of the main events is the launch of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic, as well as the opening of new flights to Kazakhstan and European countries, which promises a new increase in passenger traffic.

Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure during the Government session held on April 23 Davit Khudatyan presented the strategic development plans of the civil aviation sector. The previous year has already recorded impressive dynamics. 47-48 airlines made flights from Armenia to about 70 destinations.

Due to this, the passenger flow of “Zvartnots” International Airport exceeded five million, and the route network was supplemented with ten new destinations.

This trend will gain momentum this year. Long-term negotiations with Kazakh partners have been successful. At once, several air carriers announced direct flights to Kazakhstan, tickets for which are already on sale. In parallel, the European vector is being activated. new airlines are expected to enter and increase the frequency of flights to Brussels and the Netherlands. However, the main news of the sector is the start of Yerevan-London-Yerevan direct air traffic.

Along with the increase in the workload of the capital’s airport, the authorities plan to use the possibilities of Gyumri’s “Shirak” airport to a greater extent. The modernization of infrastructures, in particular, the operation of new sections of the “North-South” road, greatly contributes to this.

According to the minister’s assessment, thanks to the improvement of logistics, getting from Yerevan to Gyumri airport in some hours is faster than the trip to “Zvartnots”. This creates additional grounds and prospects for negotiating with new airlines and decentralizing the country’s air traffic.

PAP leader Gagik Tsarukyan visited Lori marz: Margahovit, Debed and Dsegh communities։

PAP notes: “These meetings once again confirm that direct and simple contact with people is the most valuable. it is here that human warmth and sincere attitude are most strongly felt. It is among these people that honesty, simplicity and purity are preserved, the values ​​on which a healthy and stable society should be built.

Armenia is small, but has great potential and opportunities that should serve the country’s development and progress. The issues raised are numerous, from security to the economy, from health care to education, from bureaucratic obstacles to social and agricultural issues. Those problems require clear and systematic solutions. Unfortunately, the peasant today often remains alone in the struggle against his difficulties.

Regional visits are an opportunity not only to hear about problems, but also to build a bridge of trust with people. In that warm atmosphere, it is more clearly felt how important it is to listen to each other, understand and find solutions together.

Our path is clear: national unity, internal solidarity and mutual respect.

Despite the satellite evidence regarding the destruction of Stepanakert’s Mother of God Cathedral, the Armenian government urges maximum caution in assessments. The Prime Minister of the country stated that this incident at the state level will not become the subject of international discussions, referring to previous experience and political pragmatism.

In the last few days, news was circulating in the information field about the possible destruction of the Presbyterian Church, which was consecrated in Stepanakert just a few years ago, in 2019. Yesterday, the International Center for Cultural Heritage of the Caucasus (Caucasus Heritage Watch) officially confirmed this information. Based on the data of Sentinel satellites, the experts recorded that the religious structure was destroyed between March 3 and April 2 of this year. It is expected that higher resolution photos will be available soon, which will allow to clarify the whole picture of what happened.

However, official Yerevan has chosen a very restrained position regarding this incident. During the government briefing held on April 23, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan emphasized the need to deeply and comprehensively analyze the situation before taking drastic steps. The head of the government noted that such delicate topics require exceptional prudence, describing them as a “double-edged sword”.

The head of Armenia made it clear that the country does not intend to escalate the issue on diplomatic platforms. According to him, taking into account the previous experience, Armenia will not make the fact of the destruction of the temple a subject of international discussions at the official state level. The prime minister strengthened his position by quoting from the New Testament, reminding that they will be judged by the same judgment by which they are judged, and calling for maximum balance when making political decisions.
