May God Bless your Soul Armenian businessman and benefactor Levon Hayrapetyan dies in Russia Prominent Armenian benefactor, businessman Levon Hayrapetyan died aged 68 in Russia, local media sources reported, citing his relatives. According to the reports, Hayrapetyan’s last wish was to bury him next to relatives. Levon Hayrapetyan, who is known for number of charity programs realized in Artsakh, was found guilty for a controversial embezzlement of $700,000 by Zamoskvoretsky District Court verdict issued on April 14, 2016. Hayrapetyan had been charged with embezzling $700,000 from Bashkistan’s senator Igor Izmestyev who is currently serving a life term for terrorism. The businessman repeatedly pleaded not guilty. According to his lawyer, the case had been framed up. While being under detention “Freedom to Levon Hayrapetyan” civil initiative numerously voiced the entrepreneur’s deteriorating health condition, expressing serious concern over threats to his life. In one of episodes, he lost consciousness in a Moscow prison and was taken to the medical division. Political fractions of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic parliaments later issued a statement urging Russian law enforcement bodies to release Levon Hayrapetyan saying his detention contradicts all humanitarian principles. Hayrapetyan was first arrested in 2014, but in about a year his lawyers managed to get him placed under house arrest pending the investigation and trial.

i'm told the renovation of the Haghartsin was started by an Armenian from China, his called the King of Plastic, he started to help rebuilding but was severely taken advantage of, after 2 or 3 years he gave up.

Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, and her husband Sheikh Sultan Bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, visited the Haghartsin Monastery with His Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians along with brotherhood members of Holy Etchmiadzin. Sheikha Boudour is the daughter of Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammad al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council member and ruler of Sharjah, and benefactor of the restoration

Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed visited the Haghartsin Monastery in 2005. His donation helped fund the completion of refurbishment work. A significant donation by the Ruler of Sharjah has enabled a medieval monastery in Armenia to reopen. Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi made a fortuitous visit to the Haghartsin Monastery several years ago at the invitation of the former president, Robert Kocharian. “In 2005 His Royal Highness visited Armenia and generously offered to renovate the complex during a tour of various Armenian regions,” said Varouj Nerguizian, a Sharjah-based Armenian businessman who has advised Dr Sheikh Sultan. Mr Nerguizian would not say how much was donated, but local media reports said it could be about US$1.7 million (Dh6.2m). Now, after years of building work including a new road up to the monastery to help to boost visitor numbers, the refurbished structure was finally opened last month. “I cannot recall anything similar to this happening in our history that an Arab Sheikh, a Muslim, helped to restore and rescue an Armenian Christian church,” the priest, Aristakes Aivazyan, said. “Without doubt it was God who brought the Sheikh to Haghartsin.” Perched spectacularly amid thickly forested mountains about 100 kilometres north-east of Yerevan, Haghartsin Monastery is a masterpiece of medieval Armenian ecclesiastical architecture. Founded in the 10th century, the monastery, which includes three churches and once housed about 250 monks, survived attacks from Arab and Ottoman invaders and anti-religious campaigns under Soviet rule during its turbulent history. But after weathering those storms, decades of neglect meant the complex looked headed for collapse as plants twisted through walls and cracks threatened to send buildings tumbling. “The monastery was in need of serious reconstruction but the repairs were always delayed by the lack of finances,” Father Aivazyan said. The donation, said Mr Nerguizian, “falls within the natural context of His Royal Highness’s philanthropy as well as respect for other religions”. Sharjah has a thriving Armenian community which has its own church. For those working at the monastery, the surprise of seeing an Arab leader visiting the holy Christian site remains a vivid memory. “He came with his entourage of about 10 people and looked around for quite a while at all the churches and stone crosses before asking to go into the main Church of Our Lady,” said Artak Sahakyan, who sells candles to visiting worshippers. “When he came out he said that he believed that the word of God was really heard here.” Armenia is considered the oldest Christian country in the world and its Apostolic Church belongs to the ancient Oriental Orthodox branch. The church is hugely influential in Armenia and two monasteries and its main cathedral are already listed on Unesco’s list of world heritage sites. * Agence France-Presse

but his more Armenian then Princes Diana was

his Armenian enough not to be a Saudi King

How Saudi is he? Not enough to ever be king. His father, Prince Talal, was born to an Armenian wife of King Abdulaziz, who reigned from 1936 to 1953, which is decidedly the wrong pedigree. To ascend to the throne, princes should possess an entirely Arab family tree. Al-Waleed’s own mother was Lebanese, which compounds the problem. He has hundreds of other cousins with better credentials for the throne. https://specials-images.forbesimg.com/imageserve/58a0795b4bbe6f0e55869730/416x416.jpg?background=000000&cropX1=167&cropX2=708&cropY1=19&cropY2=560
