  1. Azerbaijani wrestler loses to an Armenian at the U23 Greco-Roman Wrestling European Championship in Bucharest, Romania. The Armenian athlete is seen on camera putting his hand out to shake his opponent’s hand, but the Azerbaijani attacks and hits his opponent. At the quarter-final stage of the European Wrestling Championship Armenia’s Karapet Manvelyan defeated the Azerbaijani Rahim Hasanov in the 55kg category. Manvelyan defeated his opponent ahead of schedule with a score of 7-1. The frustrated Azerbaijani refused to shake hands with Manvelyan after the fight and hit the Armenian wrestler. After that, the judge intervened and we expect that Hasanov will be disqualified. Manvelyan reached the semi-finals of the tournament, where he will fight with a Turk. Armenia’s Albert Vardanyan (130 kg) also made it to the semi-finals https://fb.watch/jhVW7pznqm/

  5. Hal Markarian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Markarian Hal Markarian (1929 — 2012) was an Armenian American aircraft designer who is known for implementing the initial designs of the B-2 Stealth Bomber. He produced a sketch that was the inspiration for the modern B-2 Spirit.[1] Today's B-2 Spirit incorporates much of Markarian's design. Design for the B-2 Stealth Bomber The B-2 Spirit took up its design from Hal Markarian During the initial project of the Stealth Bomber, Hal Markarian was appointed as project manager.[2] The first sketches of the aircraft were done by Markarian in June 1979.[3] Markarian's proposal was one of the two designs that were considered in the making of the Stealth Bomber. Markarian's proposal was very similar to the YB-49, an aircraft designed by Northrop Grumman three decades earlier in 1947.[4] The design was influenced by Irv Waaland and John Cashen who were experts in stealth technology.[3] The team also included aerodynamicist Hans Grellman, as well as Dick Scherrer, a designer who had arrived from Lockheed.[5] The design was much lighter and thinner than the modern B-2 Stealth Bomber and had six engines equipped, most likely GE F404.[1] The aircraft had a diamond shaped center body which served to accommodate a crew, fuselage and weapons.[3] The aircraft design that Northrop Grumman would later adopt was similar, though it had a deeper center-section of the aircraft than Markarian's design. Due to demands from the Strategic Air Command, the aircraft was also made much heavier and had larger weapon carriers.[1]
