Life in Armenia

Re: Life in Armenia

Or Aragats where there's snow, even during summer. It was hot one day in yerevan, and we decided at random to go to aragats and eat some xash, and have a snowfight. Great day.

Yeah, there's lost of places. Even Goris is not bad since they are rather elevated. And of course Artsakh is nice during the summer and doesn't get nearly as hot as the Ararat valley and Yerevan do.

Re: Life in Armenia

Yerevan is surrounded by high hills, think of a bowl, so not only does it get hot (not humid though) but dusty as well and when the winds blow the sand from the construction sites at you, it sucks! You really do not need to go too far from Yerevan to get away from the heat, if you can, best place to go when there's a dry spell and high temps is Tsakhkadzor.

Re: 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!

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.

Thanks for sharing this! Good job Armenian scientists!

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

Never miss an opportunity to play that one note.
