Wherever we are our cross stones will be with us. They have been since beginning of times, even before Christianity.
Long after humanity is gone, there will be only our cross stones left of us scattered, reminding of our people.

Lebanese newspaper refers to Armenia as "Impoverished" and "surrendering country's sovereignty" in their article about the joint Air Defense.

And this is from a country that has no air Defence and who's air space has been raped too many times by neigbours at their will in past 40 years?

The same country where most manufacturing industry was built by Armenians. Same country where 80% of their GDP was from Arab oil banking. Same country where 70% Christians turned to 70% Muslims in 50 years.

Ask me..LOL
Lived there 25 years (or should I say wasted 25 years).
There are daily airspace violations by Israeli jets.
Yet they write crap about Armenia.
I wouldn't exchange only Yerevan for 10 Lebanons.

Actually Artur Meschian's song was meant to brake the reliance on God and religion in defending our nation... ...

I am not anti God, I believe in our religion as well as I full understand and have experienced the power of faith.

On the front line religious gimmicks do not have a place in my view.

Coming to .... "Where were you God" ..... the translation in English

if you read carefully the responsibility is being put on God. To me that is unacceptable.

a song about the genocide of the Armenian people

Where were You, G-d −
When a whole abandoned nation became mad...
Where were You, G-d −
When our pleas faded in indifference...
Where were You, G-d −
When they were destroying a beauteous country...
Where were You, G-d −
When, mad of pain, we were praying − Amen...
Where were You, G-d −
When the eyes of justice closed...
Where were You, G-d −
When the prayer froze on the lips of my nation...
Where were You, G-d −
When the Heavens shook from the cry of salvation...
You were silent, G-d −
When, crucified on the crosses, we were praying − Amen...

In my starving heart there was no other faith and love but You, my Lord;
I believed in You and begged You as a foolish one,
Where were You G-d −
When they were devouring a beauteous country,
Where were You G-d −
When, without any hope, we were praying − Amen...

Give us strength, G-d −
Not to be lost in the stormy sea of life...
Give us heart, G-d −
To wipe out lips of suffering...
Give us light, G-d −
To find a way in this gloomy darkness...
Give us hope, G-d −
To pray with our parched lips − Amen...




I never want our nation ever to have to say the same words in the song.

I like this new equation. Bunch of turkic Islamists carried out the attack at the Constantinople Airport. I hope this will strain the relationship with Russia.

"Three foreign nationals – a Russian (Chechen), an Uzbek and a Kyrgyz – carried out the shooting and triple suicide bombing at Atatürk airport in Istanbul, Turkish officials have said ..."

Women deminers have cleared 20.473 square meters in Nagorno Karabakh Republic



This photograph was found at maptia.com, where the Italian photographer published photographs of Artsakh women. Frankly, we’ve never thought that women and girls could be involved in demining. Even in Artsakh. What the girls and women of your country pick up in the fields marks the line that separates war from peace.The HALO Trust is a humanitarian not for profit, non-religious organization which is conducting mine clearance and unexploded ordnance (UXO) disposal around the world in post conflict countries. Ash Boddy, Programme Manager in Nagorno Karabakh told Panorama.am that HALO started to implement full-scale mine clearance and unexploded ordnance disposal in Nagorno Karabakh in 2000, in order to prevent mine and UXO accidents and make agricultural land safe to use.

Panorama.am – Why has the organization decided to hire women for demining?
Ash Boddy – In 2015 HALO NK recruited its first female team. There were several reasons for recruiting women. The simplest answer is that there is no good reason not to recruit women! Our experiences have shown in other countries (Georgia, Cambodia, Colombia and others) that women can do the job just as well as men. Additionally, it is hoped that by employing women in a job that is typically male dominated, women can prove to themselves and to their community that they have the power to achieve things previously considered impossible. The HALO Trust, and our donors, feel that the empowerment of women in their communities is a considered priority.

Panorama.am – How many women deminers do the organization have and from which regions are they generally from?
Ash Boddy – Today the HALO NK programme has 5 women deminers, all from Norashenik village of Lachin region. Another 6 women deminers are currently undertaking a demining course, and, depending on their successful completion of the course and the exams, will be employed in live clearance tasks from early July. We will be recruitment more female teams as the year progresses. We have traditionally recruited and hired female members of staff in operations support roles since the beginning of the programme.

Panorama.am – How much area has been cleared by the women’s team? In which areas did they work? Where do they currently work?
Ash Boddy – Currently the women’s team is working in Vaghazin area of Lachin region working on an anti-tank minefield. Previously they were working in Karegah, also in Lachin region. In total, they have cleared 20,473 square meters, clearing 7 anti-personnel mines, one anti-tank mine and 2 UXO in the process.

Panorama.am – Is it easy to recruit women counting the fact of work difficulty? Do families of these women easily agree with the fact that their ladies become deminers, and generally, what do women say - why do they decide to become deminers, what they say about their work?
Ash Boddy – The only concern that the families expressed was the danger which as they think the mine clearance process poses. But during demining training and after deploying to the fields, the women and their families have realized that the process is not dangerous when the clearance is run according to Standard Operations Procedures and in a safe manner. We can’t say that the women had always dreamed of becoming deminers, but these ladies have made their decisions based on the fact that, first of all, humanitarian mine clearance increases the safety of them their families and their children and, secondly, the job provides an income that helps the women’s families improve their socio-economic status and brings stability to their lives.

Panorama.am – Usually, women are more careful, more attentive; does it help them during the work?
Ash Boddy – Common generalisations about men and women have so far proved inaccurate in HALO’s experiences, both in Karabakh and in our programmes in other countries. Our supervisors, who have many years’ experience in the field, say that our female and male teams approach their jobs in the same way: with dedication, conscientiousness, and pride. The HALO trust does not treat or pay its male and female teams differently – all deminers are treated equally, and the same attitude and productivity is expected from everybody, regardless of gender. We can say, though, that we have been particularly impressed with the ladies’ discipline and attention to detail!

The HALO Trust was founded in 1988 in response to the global humanitarian catastrophe caused by landmines. The problem was particularly acute in Afghanistan. The organization operates in Nagorno Karabakh, Cambodia. Mozambique, Somali, Sri-Lanka, Eritrea, Abkhazia, Chechnya, Kosovo, Angola and Afghanistan.
