The truth is what it is, it is people who are idiotic.

Exactly, I'm glad you have a mirror around when typing responses.

Re: Life in Armenia

You do not even know what happened, what were the reasons, what went on before it happened... so this comment is useless.

What happened? She didn't do as well as she wanted/was expected to do, so she threw herself off a building. That's what happens when you tell emotionally unstable people they can do anything they want. Now, the fact that most emotionally unstable people happen to be women, cannot be helped, now can it?

School graduation and higher school entrance exams in Armenia, always a period of tension and stress for pupils and their parents, have been marred by an incident late last week in which a teenage girl committed suicide soon after learning she’d scored an unsatisfactory mark for Armenian language and literature. There was no case in Armenia in recent memory when a student committed suicide over an unsatisfactory mark in an exam.

Gohar Martirosyan, 17, who studied at Viktor Hambartsumyan Secondary School #12 in Yerevan’s Shengavit community, received 7.5 points (half a point below the lowest satisfactory mark of 8) in the exam on Friday.

Answers to the test were posted at 2 p.m. on the Accreditation and Testing Center’s (ATC) website. At 4 p.m., police were alerted to the girl’s home where it was learned that she had jumped from a seventh-floor balcony. The police probe into the case is ongoing.

Vladimir Stepanyan, headmaster of School # 12, told ArmeniaNow that Martirosyan was “a lively” teenager from a “quite normal family.”

Nelly Duryan, the deputy head of the Police’s 3rd Investigation Department (of Juvenile Affairs) in Armenia, told ArmeniaNow that according to the 2009 data, 28 minors committed suicide in Armenia, mainly because of domestic problems and unrequited love. One suicide case registered last year was on religious grounds.

Armenian scientists work wonders for peanuts

Not only Armenian scientists, but also the entire nation, can be proud of the UNESCO-released 2010 report on world science, the Hayots Ashkharh (Armenian World) newspaper reports.

The report shows that Armenians scientists, with their modest earnings, are internationally recognized due to their talent and hard work.

Specifically, 2000 to 2008 Armenia ranked second among the Central and Western Asia countries in terms of scientific articles in the most authoritative international scientific journals, Israel being the leader.

Armenian scientists left their Georgian and Azerbaijani counterparts behind. In 2008, Armenian scientists published 544 scientific articles, and their Georgian and Azerbaijani counterparts 328 and 292 respectively.

U.S. and Japanese scientists get real money for their papers, whereas their Armenian counterparts work for peanuts.

Specifically, Armenian scientists` "efficiency" is 10 to 15 times as high as that of their leading counterparts in the world. Despite their low salaries, Armenian scientists achieve results that are numerous returns on the investments made.

Not to mention U.S. scientists blow up most of the money given to them.

Never miss an opportunity to play that one note.

Yerevan (non political)

We are often so much in political arguments here, I think we should have one threat that is relaxed, watch this great video of central Yerevan during the night, nice music also, it's a very accurate depiction of current day Armenia - full of life!
