To the question of how much prices have risen over the last eight years, almost everyone answers in roughly the same way: "a lot." But when you look at the official figures, an unexpected picture emerges. In Armenia, the cumulative rise in prices since 2018 is lower than the global average and is almost the same as in the European Union and the US...
In the city of Lucerne, there is a children's playground. Swings, slides, the usual. In the middle of the playground, dug into the hill, stands a thick, blast-proof door. Behind it is a narrow, well-lit tunnel that gently slopes downward, as far as the eye can see. This is Sonnenberg, the world's largest...
What is known: Turkey has started reconstruction works on its section of the Gyumri-Kars railway, up to the border with Armenia.

This year, the Feast of the Assumption of the Holy Mother of God, more commonly known as the Blessing of the Grapes, will be celebrated on August 16, 2026. The date changes every year, and this causes confusion. The reason is the rule: the Armenian Apostolic Church celebrates the feast on the Sunday closest to August 15. Therefore, the date varies between August...

Introduction: In the history of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia, the figure of Zabel holds a unique place. She ascended the throne not by conquest or election, but because her father had no male heir. Her biography was almost entirely determined by the decisions of others—regents, councils of nobles, and exter...

And yet, what happens in the Strait of Hormuz directly affects the price that the Armenian driver pays at the gas station. Here is why. What is the Strait of Horm...
In late July, a proposal was made in Tehran that could change Armenia's energy role in the region. Iran proposes not only to increase the volume of gas exported to Armenia, but also to assess the possibility of transiting Iranian gas to other countries through the territory of Armenia. Yerevan is in principle in favor. But when it...
Introduction At the end of the 12th century, there was no statehood of its own in Eastern Armenia. The Bagratuni kingdom had fallen long ago, Ani was in the hands of the Shaddadid emirs, and a part of the Armenian nobility had migrated to Georgia and was serving at the Georgian court. It was from the environment of this migrated nobility that came th...
In two days, on August 8, it will be one year since Nikol Pashinyan, Ilham Aliyev, and Donald Trump met in Washington. And yesterday, on August 5, the Constitutional Court of Armenia accepted the case of the TRIPP framework agreement for review. During this year, so many contradictory...
Introduction A code is usually written by the state for its courts. In the case of Mkhitar Gosh, it was the opposite: he wrote a book of laws at a time when Armenian statehood in Eastern Armenia was in the phase of restoration, and a significant part of the Armenian population lived under foreign rule. It was this circ...
Introduction: In Armenian medieval literature, very few authors have left a first-person account of their own life. Anania Shirakatsi has. His autobiographical work, "Vasn vorpisut'ean kenats' iwrots'" ("On the Circumstances of His Life"), is a rare document; the seventh-century scientist himself wrote...
