Come on, Harut, get your facts straight. do they eat dogs? :comfused: man, you think too hard. take it easy.

finally!!! i've been waiting for this for months!!!

out of all you mentioned the most interesting for me is still "Lehastan"!!! "Lehastan", along with "Hunastan" and "Rusastan", is the only European country whom we gave a unique name. while "Hunastan" and "Rusastan" have reasonable explanations (we had ties with the former for milleniums, and the later has "Armenianized" (if it is Armenian) form of "ia" to "stan") "Lehastan" still remains mystery for me.

i just couldn't resist finding and posting about Minas Avetisian. i was watching a TV program a week ago about his life, career, art, and his murrder. it was very touchy. it is very unfortunate that talants like him become victims of politics (as it is almost proven). during the show they mentioned some quotes by Minas, and i have to post them even if i don't recall them exactly. "Lav em nkarum, te voch, da urish harts e, bayts nkarum em ayn ich uzum em, inchpes uzum em, yerb uzum em. yes yerbeq menamarti chem mtnum im nerqin zgatsmunqneri het." "Lenin@ Apolon@ chi vor nkarem. Arvestaget@ avanak chi, vor ur uzeq qsheq."

Minas Avetisian "Austere and majestic is the beauty of Armenia. Bathed in light and color, pampered and caressed by the sun beneath whose strong rays the whole earth comes to life, this land has given the world not a few talented painters." Biography: Minas Avetisian was born on the 20th of July 1928, in a little Armenian village-Djadjur. Leningrad, with its Academy of Fine Arts and its Hermitage, played a significant role in Avetisian's becoming an artist. Avetisian always remembers with gratitude his teachers, Johannson, Zaitsev and Khudiakov: they never hindered the natural expression of his own artistic individuality. Both in his student years and after graduating from the Academy, Avetisian traveled widely around Armenia, eagerly seeking out historical monuments; he studied the Armenian miniature and the works of the greatest Armenian artists, above all, Saryan's. Avetisian's real emergence as an artist was at the "Exhibition of Five" in Yerevan (1962), where he revealed himself as a mature painter with a bright individuality. Numerous specialists and visitors to the exhibition thought highly of his work. In the presence of a large group of visitors and representatives of the press, the French artist Jean Lurcat exclaimed: "This artist rivals France's best painters". Avetisian follows the national traditions in painting, yet he never resorts to slavish imitation or stylization. But he shows great freedom and originality in his use of means of expression found in the work of ancient miniaturists: bright sonorous colors, coordination of pictorial tension throughout the entire surface of the canvas, rhythmic arrangement of lines, the static quality of representation, and the absence of perspective. And this is quite natural: like any artist of great talent, Avetisian has achieved an understanding of reality not so much through the study of the work of other masters, as through his own perception and interpretation of life. Avetisian is one of those Armenian artists who put the color back into painting. "Put the color back into painting"-such an expression might seem strange, but if you go into the Matenadaran and look through the yellowed pages of the ancient manuscripts there, you will understand what is meant: there on the parchment, in all their splendor, shine the bright, sonorous colors- blue, yellow, green, red... Color plays an enormous role in the work of Avetisian. Some of his pictures are unequaled in contemporary Armenian painting in the intensity of their colors. A few of Avetisian's main canvases are devoted to the past of his people. It was by pure chance that the artist's parents escaped the 1915 massacre. Not far from Djadjur several thousands of people were killed in a ravine. The generation which saw these terrible events with their own eyes is still alive. Often on winter evenings, sitting by the hearth of his village home the artist heard the accounts of eye-witnesses. Perhaps this is why a dramatic note is perceptible in many of his works. Laconicism, reserve and thoughtfulness are characteristic for the artist too. The dramatic quality in Avetisian's history paintings is a tacit tribute to the memory of the dead. To the most significant canvases of this cycle belongs the picture "The Road: A Recollection of My Parents" (1965-1967). Unfortunately, like many of his other works, it perished in the 1972 fire. In the night of the 1st January, 1972, while the artist was in DjaDjur with his family, his Yerevan studio was burnt down together with a large portion of his best canvases selected for a one-man show. Many of the artist's works no longer exist and are reproduced in this homepage from photographs taken earlier from the G.Igitian's book "Minas". After the profound shock inflicted on Avetisian by the burning down of his studio, which for a time brought his creative activity to a halt, the artist actively engaged in work and produced a series of significant canvases, among them "Meditation" (1972), displayed at the republic's exhibition, and "Baking Lavash" (1972) and other. Avetisian belong to those modern Armenian artists who prove, as did Saryan in his time, that one can be useful to one's people, expressing its hopes, in all sorts of ways, but with one absolute condition- in a language worthy of art. http://www.armsite.am/painters/avetisian/

They start at the same time from point A. The first runner runs a constant seven-and-one-third feet per second, while the second runner goes only slightly faster at eight feet per second. They agree to quit their daily jog when both of them meet back at exacley where they start at the same time. How many laps will each of the joggers complete that day? Azat jan, i think i got this one too. the slower one will run 11 lap, the faster one will run 12 laps. thank you for your questions.

(And just how will that cheese-head go over in Yerevan fashion circles?) Are you waitng for the McDonalds in Republick Square? Do you think they sell Polo there? Perhaps you could become the Armenian snow board team for 2006... just for your info: as far as i can tell, satellite dishes are more popular in Armenia than here. if you go to Armenia, the one thing that you cannot miss is "nicely" decorated buildings with all kinds of antennas and satellite dishes. and for McDanolds: last time i was in Armenia, 3.5 years ago, only in the small corrner of the city of Yerevan, where i lived, there were already number of fastfood places with very high standards.

is this the first sign of my "Americanism" or what? my thought are starting to flip upside down. while before i used to think that preserving Armenian culture as it is was the correct thing to do, now i think that there is no point of doing it in diaspora. why should one be attachted to something that is not really controlled by them. Armenian culture is born in Armenia. and as i see, most people there do nothing to keep the traditionalism of it. in fact more people tand to adopt foreign ideas and traditions.
