  • It pains me that those who fought for their nation and homeland have been consigned to oblivion. Mikayel Minasyan
    Armenian News - Tert.am - 11:03 Aug 30, 2024
    Every day, thoughts of Bako, Ruben, Leva, and our prisoners overwhelm me with helplessness. My mind always returns to Bako, perhaps because I knew him better. In my memory, he sits in his yard after midnight, feeding firewood to a tin stove where potatoes, onions, and bread are baking. He squints through the tobacco smoke, adjusts his old coat, and sips strong tea. We often met—once in Rome, quite frequently in Yerevan, but most often in Stepanakert. That’s where I remember him best—sitting in the yard of his house, on the ottoman, telling stories, joking, or sitting in thoughtful silence. He was organic, natural, strong—unable to imagine his life away from this garden, his home, Stepanakert, and Artsakh, - wrote Mikayel Minasyan, the former Ambassador of Armenia to the Holy See, wrote about his esteemed friend, Bako Sahakyan, the former President of Artsakh, who is currently held captive in a Baku prison following Azerbaijan's occupation of Nagorno-Karabakh. Minasyan adds. “I can't imagine what he knows abou...

  • Ucom, in Cooperation with SunChild NGO, Installs Solar Panels in Tsaghkavan
    Armenian News - Tert.am - 11:02 Aug 06, 2024
    As a result of the cooperation between SunChild NGO and Ucom, solar panels with an installed capacity of 11.02 kW have been installed on the roofs of the kindergarten in Tsaghkavan village, Berd community in the Tavush region.

  • Tehraners bid farewell to Haniyeh
    Armenian News - Tert.am - 08:45 Aug 01, 2024
    Thousands of Tehraners took to the streets on Thursday morning to attend the funeral of Hamas' Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. This ceremony started at 8 AM in Tehran University with the presence of people and officials. Participants denounced the assassination as an act of terrorism and protested the perpetrators’ violation of the Islamic Republic’s sovereignty. They chanted slogans against Israel and its allies, including the United States, and demanded a decisive response to the occupying entity. Tehraners considered the assassination an indication of Israel's desperation in the face of the regional Axis of Resistance, including Hamas, which has confronted Tel Aviv's atrocities against Palestinians. They asserted that the assassination would not deter the Palestinian nation and their allies from defending the Palestinian cause but would strengthen their resolve.
