Armenia On Cnn

[MosJan]

CNN WILL MAKE US BEAUTIFUL

Armenia will be advertized on CNN. On August 31 the government approved the conditions of CNN for advertising Armenia on this channel. The decision was made in accordance with the government policy on tourism provided for by the law on tourism. The deputy minister of trade and economic development Tigran Davtyan was instructed to sign the letter of agreement foreseen by the decision which will enable signing a contract with CNN and “present our country as sustainable, safe, favorable for business, investments, as well as attractive for tourists.”

 

The expenditures on advertisement will be covered on the funds allocated for turning Tsaghkadzor a center of tourism in the framework of the program of development of tourism in Armenia.

Bravo,

 

Armenia finally has gotten the message that tourism is an export industry that brings in money. So now Armenia will join the Turks who are marketing Armenian historical sites (Aghtamar Church, City of Ani) to improve the local economy.

Turks can't use Armenian historical sites to make money, because even if those sites are now located in Turkey, they weren't designed, built, or used by Turks. Armenians can, however..

 

Turks have also destroyed Armenian vestiges in the past.

Yes, they have destroyed or let crumble to dust the majority of the sites under their control. Now for external political and tourism reasons they are preserving a few sites (but removing Armenian symbols). My ex-wife and I visited numerous Native American sites not built, or used by European Americans, but run by them now and making money for them. So your argument, Dave, is not correct. The Armenians can give a more authentic backdrop to these sites, that is correct. What are the Turkish guides going to say to the tourists? That the Armenians suddenly went on vacation 90 years ago, never returned and that their children and grandchildren are now living in tony suburbs of major Western cities?

ARMENIA HOLDS THE 74-TH PLACE IN WORLD TOURISM RATING

By Ara Martirosian

 

AZG Armenian Daily

02/03/2007

 

According to information provided by the Armenian "Economy and Values"

partner of the organization, Armenia is the 74-th of 124 states in the

international tourism rating list. Armenia is the third most popular

tourist site among the CIS states and has disadvantage of only Georgia

(the 66-th) and Russia (68-th).

 

The World Economy Forum report says that the most popular tourist

state remains Switzerland, then come Austria and Germany. The lest

popular countries are Chad, Burundi and Angola.

 

The competitiveness of countries in the tourism sphere is defined by

three main parameters - corresponding legislation, business are and

infrastructures and human, culture and natural resources. Armenia has

considerable advantage in legislation (rated 65), natural, human and

culture resources (rated 62) and disadvantage in business area and

infrastructures (rated 96). Armenia is attractive in sense due to

high sanitary and hygiene conditions, the security of tourists and

the native people's welcome for them, as well as suitable prices.

 

Armenia's competitiveness mainly suffers from visa regime with the

states whose citizens go touring most frequently, problems with

nature protection, lack of local air and vehicle transportation

infrastructures, etc.

 

On the other hand Armenia is rated first by elementary education

level and the last by naval port infrastructures.

Ummm.... duh?

Hurry hurry everyone, quick! Let's build a naval port so we can gte a higher rating for international tourism!!!

Reminds me of that joke about Azerbaijan: Azerbaijan has a culture as true as Armenia's navy.

(*Drumroll......Splash!*)

 

(Great joke, but still gives "Azeri" culture too much leeway if we look back. I speak Cilicia.... )

Jeez Yervant, 1689 posts?! Nicely done!

Here are two links, where you can see the ads.

 

CNN Armenia 1

 

[yerevanforeigner6]

Hi all,

 

I liked the Armenian commercial 2 more than the first part.

Nice!

[Nazarian]

Nice commercials.

 

[Takoush]

I actually thought both commercials were different and but short, sweet and to the point.

 

Pretty good commercials.

 

Now all we want is to increase these commercials and continue to publicize about our country as well as our culture.

 

Good job.

 

 

[Arpa]

I like neither of them.

If one is to follow commercials on CNN one would see ads by the Turkish chamber of commerce every 5 minutes, if not sooner that ends with “Come Home” or some such silliness. The tune is very catchy, not Turkish that I know of. They show everything between sunny beaches, Roman, Byzantian and Christian archeological sites, mainly dwelling on pictures of Nemrut. Not even a hint of Islamic heritage or a picture of a mosque, of course, they are cautious to not turn off the Christian world. You wait and see. Pretty soon they will add pictures of Aghtamar.

And.. What do we do? Wall to wall khachkars and ruined churches, not to forget choir boys and priests.

When is the last time you saw touristic ads about Egypt showing mosques, or Greeks showing churches?

Who are we advertising to with pictures of ruined churches, crosses and priests?

Are we doing any better than the Turks who will soon start advertising Aghtamar mainly directed to idiotic Armenian diasporans who melt at the sight of a ruined church?

If we don’t have anything better than a few ruined churches and broken khachkars to show to the world, we’d better SHUT UP.

They are playing music from AK’s Gayane. Where are the pictures of the ballet, specially that world renown tune that is played a hundred times a minute all over the world.. The Sabre Dance?

Can we get off this church and khachkar bizzziness already?

Who is interested?

Except those moronic diasporans and natives who go to church three times in their lifettime. Once at baptism they don't remember, at the wedding where they couldn't care less, and at their funeral that they can't even participate!

Reminds one of the story of the town dtunk who, when asked how often he went to the local bar, answers; "Uuuh... let me see... once ... or twice a day?" And when asked, hos often to church, he answers" Ever Easter, every Easter, ever Easter.. Amen Zatik, amen Zatik, amen Zatik!!!

:goof:

We want to show thw world how Christian we are?

Didn't they know that in 1915?

One time the Roman Catholic, the Protestant and the Armenian Churches find that their churches have been infested by rats. After panicking a little, they all come up with solution.

 

The Catholics torture the rodents away.

 

The Protestants can't come to an agreement with the rats, and so the rats split and form a new denomination.

 

Finally, The Armenians baptizes the rats so they only show up three a year- on Christmas, Easter and the week of April 24th.

Fresno, CA

 

In late December, three members of our staff had the opportunity

to do something many have only dreamed about: travel to Armenia -

it is the homeland of millions of Armenians around the world and

40,000 here in the Central Valley.

 

So, in a journey arranged by the National Competitiveness Foundation

of Armenia and its tourism agency, KSEE's Stefani Booroojian was

joined by photographer George Garnica and producer Paul Chaderjian

on the trip of a lifetime. Here they share highlights of the trip

which began in Armenia's capital city, Yerevan.

 

KSEE 24's series "Stefani's Armenia" was made possible by the National

Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia (NCFA) with support from the

Government of Armenia and the United States Agency for International

Development (USAID).

 

For information about NCFA, go to www.cf.am.

Thank you Yervant. I am kind of familiar with those "buttons".I wrote after I tried every trick I know, I don't know much, I even tried to reset the audio volume of my set to no avail. At other times, I have to reduce the volume when it turns to a scream.
