Let’s See... Let’s Choose... Let’s Change... Project Review 2011

CHILDREN IN UNIFORMS
number of views: 191

The article Children in Uniforms by Ullrich Klein, Peace Dialogue's intern from Germany, is an attepmpt to open a free discussion on the symbolism of images of little kids in the uniforms of the army. As a historian, the author tries to analyse the social background and vivid trends in the political and social atmosphere producing such pictures, as well as possible outcomes of such tendencies.

I am speechless. This is not only because of the breathtaking beauty of the Armenian landscape surrounding Vanadzor but also because of the fact that I don’t speak any Armenian or Russian. In fact, most people I met here have tried very hard to communicate with me. Nevertheless, my experiences of this country are condemned to be mostly visual and nonverbal.    more»

Armenian opposition parties, which collectively polled about a quarter of the vote in the May 6 parliamentary election, have alleged electoral fraud. However, analysts say their complaints may be undermined by their decision to take up their seats, which can be seen as a de facto to recognition of the result.    more»

number of views: 483

Serzh Sargsyan, president of the Republic of Armenia and leader of the Republican Pary, arrived in Vanadzor on April 27, 2012 on a routine campaign stop. A group of activists from Vanadzor who oppose mining in Teghut initiated a public action entitled Save Teghut during the president’s rally. The aim of the action was to draw the attention of both the president and the voters to the environmental and legal issues connected with illegal mining in Teghut and to demand a solution from the RA authorities as soon as possible. “Today we are building our future and the future for our children,” said president Sargsyan when greeting Vanadzorians. When talking about Armenia’s present and future, he mentioned that we will build a better Armenia all together. By a better Armenia, we mean a homeland of light and fair incomes.    more»

ABOUT “REAL” MEDIA, A MAMMOTH, AND MANLINESS
number of views: 376

At 21:00, the news program “Haylur” (News) was being shown on the First Armenian Channel, as usual. During the past ten months, this was the first time I had managed to watch it because of a lack of time. A video about the wedding of an officer was being shown. The core of the program was the fact that the officer was wearing his military uniform instead of the traditional Armenian suit. Oh, how patriotic it is! A real man should be like this.    more»
