Ամուսին և կին ապրեցին իրար հետ 60 տարի: Նրանք միմյանցից ոչինչ չէին թաքցնում, բայց կինը միայն մի գաղտնիք ուներ: Նրա պահարանի վերին դարակում կոշիկի մի տուփ կար, որի մեջ ամուսինը երբեք չէր նայել: Երբ արդեն շատ ծերանալով, կինն անկողին ընկավ, որոշեց պատմել իր գաղտնիքը և ամուսնուն խնդրեց բերել տուփը: Երբ ամուսինը տուփը բերեց և բացեց այն, ներսում տեսավ երկու շատ գեղեցիկ գործած տիկնիկներ և փողի մի մեծ կապոց: - Ի՞ նչ է սա, - հարցրեց ապշահար ամուսինը: - Գիտե՞ս, մեր հարսանիքից առաջ իմ սիրելի տատիկը ինձ հայտնեց երջանիկ ընտանեկան կյանքի գաղտնիքը: Նա ասաց. «Եթե ամուսնուդ վրա բարկանաս, ապա երբեք մի վիճիր, այլ գնա և մի տիկնիկ գործիր»: Ամուսնու աչքերն արցունքոտվեցին, չէ՞որ տուփում ընդամենը երկու տկնիկ կար: Ապա նա հարցրեց. - Պատասխանիր, այս ի՞նչ փող է: Չ՞է որ դու սա չես խնայել ընտանեկան ծախսերի մեր գումարից: - Ես սա կուտակել եմ տիկնիկներ վաճառելով:

20:36 19/02/2013 » Region Jaromír Štětina suggests denouncing resolution on Khojalu presented by Czech MP Czech senator sent a letter to current Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Miroslava Němcová. Member of Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security Jaromír Štětina in the letter that is addressed to Speaker of Parliament Miroslava Němcová has expressed his concern about the resolution admitted by the this commission on February 7 connected with Khojalu events. Armenian European magazine “Days” reports that Štětina stresses that this resolution has been accepted a few days later of the meeting of the chairman of commission David Vodrazka with the Azerbaijani ambassador to Czech Republic Tahir Tanghizade. The document says that 613 peaceful inhabitants have been violently killed by the Armenian military units in KHojalu. “This statement does not correspond to reality, and I think that the Azerbaijani ambassador is misleading the Committee on Foreign Relations. I was working in Nagorno Karabakh as a foreign correspondent by the time when the Armenian troops seized Khojalu and I was quite familiar to the whole situation. The Armenian troops occupied Khojalu and the airport of Stepanakert that was close to that place. Before they would attack they announced that they leave a corridor for the civilians which would lead them to Azerbaijani city of Aghdam. Most of the inhabitants of Khojalu have used that corridor, some of them have been seized and moved to Stepanakert and kept in one of the schools there, I have met them for several times there (most of them were not Azerbaijanis but Turks from Mskheti,) they have been set free later on. The violent mass killings of several dozens of civilians have been committed on their way to Aghdam, on Azerbaijani territory, which was controlled by Azerbaijani troops and militarized forces. According to Armenian version and according to my information that I was receiving by that time it is more possible that the Turks of Mskheti have been cruelly killed by the Azerbaijani non-governmental special troops. This has taken place before resignation of Azerbaijani president Mutalibov, who stated that these mass killings aimed at driving him from power by accusing him in being unable to secure the safety of his own people,” Štětina says in his letter. According to the source the senator stressed at the end of the letter addressed to the speaker of the Parliament that the resolution of the Defence and Security committee does not correspond to balanced and correct relations of Czech Republic with South Caucasus and promotes the growth of tension in the region. “As far as this resolution is based on one-sided and false information provided by one of the conflicting sides, and as the other side has had no chance to get acquainted with the document I offer the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Speaker, to invalidate the resolution,” Jaromír Štětina says in the letter addressed to Parliament Speaker Miroslava Němcová. On February 7 the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Security of Czech Republic held a voting, almost secretly, not informing those members of the committee who could vote against the resolution and present the viewpoints of the Armenian side too. The document is not yet in force as the chairman of the committee Vodrazka has not signed it yet. Source: Panorama.am
