Mexicans visiting Armenia on early June, what are some DO's and DON'Ts?

We are two Mexicans (30M & 31F), living in Dubai, planning on visiting Armenia in the first week of June. Would highly appreciate any tips and recommendations to make the most out of this 8/9 day trip!

As for the DO's, think of: Must visit, must eat, must do, must stay, must include, must enjoy!

DON'Ts: Aware of tourists traps/scams, avoid an specific area/city, activities or restaurants not worthy of your time, exchange here instead of there, take taxi here instead of there, etc.

We are both easygoing, open minded to explore and do diverse activities. We are also great foodies, and will definitely take a nice glass of local booze once in a while ;).

Thank you in advance!

"After the articles about EU parliaments going to Azerbaijan by me and Sascha Dueerkop there have been no irregular trips from the EU to the country. At least as far as I've seen.

Buying property in Armenia

I'm from the diaspora (not an citizen of Armenia) and I'm thinking of buying a property there, outside of Yerevan where prices are more reasonable. I've done some research and I know there's no restrictions for foreigners. I've looked at listings on list.am but don't know which sellers/agencies to trust. I've heard pre-sale apartments can be found for better prices, are any of these developments happening outside of yerevan? any trustworthy developers? how long would the paperwork process take? Appreciate any help and advice!

Who is the Nagorno-Karabakh official charged with espionage? \\ Conditions for returning to Karabakh \\ Blinken-Aliyev; Russia-Azerbaijan; West-Armenia \\ Stats: jobs, trade transactions, inflation \\ Crocus screwup \\ Road safety \\ And more...

##Armenian authorities arrest a Nagorno-Karabakh official suspected of spying, reportedly for Azerbaijan

Context: Last October, shortly after the ethnic cleansing in NK and the forced exodus of the population, journalist Tatul Hakobyan reported that an official named Sargis Galstyan decided to remain in NK. He was reportedly assigned by Azerbaijan as a "temporary commandant" [or something similar] to oversee Stepanakert.

TATUL HAKOBYAN: Galstyan and I have a common friend who recently moved to Armenia and revealed that Galastyan had told him about being assigned as a temporary commandant, and that Galstyan was urging his relatives to return and live in NK.

Galstyan's relatives contacted him and according to them, he told them, "I'm serving Azerbaijan in Khankendi, against Nikol."

In his old Facebook posts, Galstyan referred to Pashinyan as "effendi". [nobility in Ottoman Empire, used as an insult in Armenia]

Galstyan once served in Nagorno-Karabakh's NSS (National Security Service). He had close relations with ex-President Bako Sahakyan. He also has great relations with the current president Samvel Shahramanyan, who signed a decree to dissolve Nagorno-Karabakh.

Galstyan's cousin, Vahe Harutyunyan, worked remotely as a journalist from Stepanakert for one of the outlets based in Yerevan. He often discredited NK officials who were dedicated to the state and weren't corrupt.

Galstyan was one of the figures responsible for peddling the narrative about the presence of "Sorosism" in Nagorno-Karabakh. [pro-Russia circles called Pashinyan and his allies in Nagorno-Karabakh as George Soros puppets]

Galstyan had a Facebook account under the name "Sarar Shushi" with the location written as St. Petersburg. From [occupied] Stepanakert, he would call and attempt to convince his relatives to return to Stepanakert, telling them that everything would be alright. //

This allegedly happened while Azerbaijan and Russia were attempting to convince the ethnic Armenian population that it was safe to return and live as ordinary Azerbaijani citizens without any guarantees and autonomy. Nobody returned.

Sargis Galstyan and his wife decided to move from Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia on March 29 with the help of the Red Cross. He was immediately arrested near the border by Armenia's National Security Service (NSS). He is facing espionage charges.

Sargsis Galstyan has held various state positions in Nagorno-Karabakh throughout the years. He was the administrator of the Shushi region, an employee at the Ministry of Military Patriotism, and after September 19 he was assigned to another position by President Shahramanyan.

##pro-opposition politician from Nagorno-Karabakh says they will accept a "low status" with certain conditions if they are allowed to return

METAKSE HAKOBYAN (Justice faction MP): NK's state institutions should be maintained and functional in Armenia so they can resume their work in NK when we return. The return is a matter of time. In Armenia, we are traveling through provinces and holding discussions with refugees, including about the conditions necessary for our return. My NGO will submit a plan of return to the Armenian government and international organizations soon.

REPORTER: Is it even possible to return?

METAKSE HAKOBYAN: Yes. The conditions won't be as before but we still maintain the right to self-determination. We can return under the "lowest bar" and start from zero.

REPORTER: What will be the status?

METAKSE HAKOBYAN: I can't speak on everyone's behalf without holding discussions with every community but in my opinion, at a minimum, we need a security buffer zone in the first stage with real guarantees on the ground. There can be no Azerbaijani civilians; we cannot co-exist.

REPORTER: Is Pashinyan cooperating with you?

METAKSE HAKOBYAN: No. He isn't holding any talks with our organization or President Shahramanyan.

##Russia warns Armenia that the conflict with Azerbaijan will escalate if Armenia continues to strengthen ties with EU and US

MOSCOW: Nagorno-Karabakh residents have no rights today because Armenia decided to follow NATO's orders to sign a document on the Western platform. Today the possible escalation of the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan directly depends on the extent to which Yerevan will allow the EU, US, and UK to influence the situation in the region.

##Azerbaijan criticizes France for exposing Aliyev's anti-peace conduct

##even Russia calls out the fake news circulated by Azerbaijani media regarding "border accumulations" in Armenia, urges Armenia to return to Russian-led negotiation platform

REPORTER: Last week Azerbaijani media wrote that Armenia was accumulating forces near the border. Do you have any information on that?

MOSCOW: We have always urged both sides to de-escalate. The media should play a constructive role and not contribute to the escalation of the situation by circulating provocative information. All AZ-AM border disputes should be resolved by the bilateral border commissions. Russia is ready to assist them. It is time to restore the RU-AZ-AM trilateral format. We urge the sides to show the political will to resume it.

Unlike the West which has forced Armenia to make unilateral concessions and has threatened Azerbaijan, we are in favor of a complex and concession-based solution to ensure lasting peace in the South Caucasus. //

##Russia to Armenia: you are better than Europe, come on!

MFA's ZAKHAROVA: A ranking Armenian official recently stated that Armenia is a bearer of European democratic or some other values. You know what surprises me? Why are the Armenian government members doing so much dumping of that rhetoric? Why are they comparing the ancient Armenian civilization, with its history and culture, with the deadlocked European Union that is crumbling due to challenges in its economy, politics, and social life? Armenia is trying to integrate with a union that's in a crisis. //

##Russia: Armenia should ask CSTO's permission before bringing the military of NATO countries

MOSCOW: Yerevan is using various words such as "frozen relations". Legally, Armenia is still a member of CSTO. The agreement states that a member country can deploy troops or military objects of 3rd states only after consulting and reaching an agreement with CSTO. Otherwise, the member state could be suspended or removed from CSTO. //

##mayor of an Armenian border village invited EU border observers to monitor farming activities

EU Mission: By the request of the Khachik mayor [near Nakhijevan], we observed the cultivation work of local farmers to contribute to their sense of security. We continue patrolling daily on the Armenian side of the border with Azerbaijan. The situation across the country is reported to be calm.

FRENCH AMBASSADOR: The presence of observers inspires confidence in vulnerable populations near the border. The mission is tangible proof that they are not forgotten by the world.

##Russia: the EU's border mission is essentially turning into a NATO mission

MOSCOW: To maintain the illusion that NATO is still in demand, certain NATO countries are inciting anti-Russian hysteria and calling others to prepare for a war against Russia. They invest colossal sums in the military industry despite economic hardship. They themselves aren't directly investing in the military-industrial complex, but they are urging Armenia to invest in it. They promised a lot to Serbia and Ukraine. Countries that didn't fall for it were able to withstand. Others, like Ukraine, were destroyed.

##U.S. Secretary Blinken called Azerbaijan's Aliyev

ALIYEV: I've been informed that you plan to discuss military assistance for Armenia during the April 5 meeting in Brussels, and that you plan to hold joint military exercises, build military structures near the AZ-AM border, and arm Armenia through an EU mechanism.

The foreign minister of France lied yesterday when he said Azerbaijan doesn't recognize Armenia's territorial integrity. We are committed to the 2022 Prague statement and the Almaty Declaration. //

BLINKEN: It's important to advance the peace process. There is no justification for increased tension on the border. Aggressive actions and rhetoric from any side could undermine prospects for peace.

Azerbaijan should adhere to its international obligations and commitments regarding human rights and release those who were unjustly detained.

The April 5 meeting between AM-EU-US is not against Azerbaijan. It will be focused on economic support for Armenia. //

##the U.S. had warned Russia that Moscow's Crocus mall was one of the potential targets of ISIS-K terrorists: New York Times and Washington Post

Crocus mall in particular was named as a potential target in the warning issued by the U.S. The U.S. believed the attack was planned to happen "within days" from March 7. One of the attackers was filmed scouting the mall before the attack, as we learned later from Russian media.

Days before the attack, Mr. Putin was disparaging the American warnings, saying they were “outright blackmail” and attempts to “intimidate and destabilize our society.”

But President Vladimir V. Putin and other top officials have continued to claim, without evidence, that Ukraine could have played a role in the attack,

Russia's intel chief said the warning was "too general and did not allow us to fully identify those who committed this terrible crime". Despite the warning that it could happen in Crocus, there were no armed guards in the mall and specialized police units did not arrive until more than an hour after the shooting started, and then waited more than 30 minutes before entering the building, by which point the assailants had already escaped. [ah great, now you have your own Uvalde scandal]

The U.S. had provided a similar warning to Iran, and Iran also failed to prevent an attack, according to a source.

##Q&A with a representative of the Infrastructure Ministry's Road Department

REPORTER: Drivers often complain about the lack of road markings, especially on secondary roads. What plans do you have for this year?

OFFICIAL: We plan to mark a 640,000 m^2 area this year. The heavily used roads or the ones commonly used by tourists will be marked twice this year. We will also mark the newly repaired roads after the paving of asphalt.

REPORTER: What about traffic signs and safety barriers?

OFFICIAL: We restored several thousand traffic signs last year and 23 kilometers of metal barriers.

REPORTER: Do you plan to improve the quality of the pavement paint or improve its visibility?

OFFICIAL: We plan to buy a device that measures the nighttime reflectiveness of signs and lines, as well as the line's width. The winning company is expected to deliver the devices in May.

REPORTER: What will the road paint look like? Drivers on social media are praising the ones on Tsovagyugh-Vardenis.

OFFICIAL: Yes, the work meets the standards in that area. Last year we also used thermoplastic marking on Yerevan-Ashtarak and Yerevan-Artashat.

REPORTER: How do you monitor the work?

OFFICIAL: Our engineers located across the country visit various roads and use an app to record the flaws. The data is sent to construction firms. The construction firms are required to quickly fix the flaws and send a visual confirmation to the Road Department. There were 3,510 such cases last year.

REPORTER: Is this a new monitoring system?

OFFICIAL: Yes. We organized training for construction firms.

REPORTER: What can you tell us about potholes?

OFFICIAL: This winter the use of salt and precipitation created many potholes. The construction firms were instructed to fill them with temporary material until the main work could be done, which can only be done under the right weather conditions. The main repairs began on April 1.

REPORTER: There were complaints about utility firms damaging the roads during the installation of underground pipes and cables. What is the solution?

OFFICIAL: It's a common problem. Before conducting a planned road repair, we always inform utility operators in that area in advance so they can do their underground work simultaneously to avoid repeated digging. Synchronizing the work isn't always possible, and sometimes individuals and private entities, without approval from the road authority, conduct utility work and afterward fail to restore the road with proper standards. To combat this, we dispatch our engineers to gather facts and submit violations to municipalities and inspection agencies.

REPORTER: Which interstate highways are in the worst shape?

OFFICIAL: M2's Sisian section has relatively more potholes. We didn't "accept" the job from the contractor due to quality issues. They will correct the flaws.

REPORTER: We have seen instances when a road is asphalted but a short time later they destroy it again to install pipes and communications. When they restore the road after the utility work, it is no longer of the same quality. The difference in quality is visible to the naked eye. Who is responsible for the post-utility repairs and do you issue fines for improper restoration?

OFFICIAL: As I've stated, we inform the utility operators in advance before repairing roads so they won't need to destroy it later again, but sometimes there is a need to conduct utility work afterward. In these instances, we inspect and offer the communication lines to pass through alternative areas if possible. There are times when they do it without our knowledge. We report this to relevant authorities to require them to restore the road to its original condition.

REPORTER: You have installed signs prohibiting U-turns in several locations. This requires drivers to travel longer distances to turn from an authorized area. Can't you install a "warning" sign ahead of the location informing the drivers that the U-turn location familiar to them is no longer available? Drivers want more informational signs.

OFFICIAL: We regularly monitor issues and install informational signs depending on the situation. A decision to ban a U-turn is something that's reached after consultations with road police and road safety experts.

REPORTER: I drove on the Shangri La road two days ago. The U-turn is no longer available there. We had to drive kilometers and circle through Abovyan to enter Balahovit-Yerevan.

OFFICIAL: This particular juncture was very dangerous and the police reported many collisions during a turn. We decided to prohibit the maneuver.

REPORTER: What steps were taken to eliminate "dark spots" to improve driving visibility and reduce accidents?

OFFICIAL: In 2021-2023 we took steps to improve safety in 47 dangerous locations. Most of it was done last year. We installed safety islands, speed reductions, lights, metal barriers, signs guiding the traffic, etc.

REPORTER: Do you plan to replace the winter salt known to be harmful to the asphalt with other chemicals?

OFFICIAL: At this time we only use salt (աղավազ).

REPORTER: What other challenges are there?

OFFICIAL: People build makeshift structures too close to roads, and some buildings' and garages' entrances are too close to roads, and this creates a risk of collision with the passing traffic.

REPORTER: Do you have a message for residents and drivers?

OFFICIAL: Please do not dump household and commercial waste on the roads or immediately near them. We are forced to collect huge volumes of waste every day.

Opinions on the PMs position on Artsakh

Hey everyone. I've seen a wide range of opinions on this subreddit about the PMs position on Artsakh. It seems there is quite a large proportion of people that believe he desperately did want to keep the land, but our army was simply beaten, or there was some foul play on the part of the Russians. While I can't necessarily comment on either of those points, I want to bring your attention to this article that the PM wrote in 2001. This post is just aimed at trying to gather some information on why people who know about this article would still be of the opinion that the PM had Artsakh's interests at heart. This isn't meant to incite hate, I'm just genuinely curious.

I've checked kinodaran and it has it but no english subs and I know there used to be youtube links and places that do have it but it looks like all of them are removed. if anyone can help me out here it would be sooo appreciated <3
