As the murder of Hrant Dink in Istanbul will continue to dominate the blogosphere in the next few days, I think it’s particularly important to look at what Turkish bloggers have to say on the matter. As I mentioned in my first post, and as implied by the condemnations issued by international media and writers’ […]
Aaron Johnson of What the Duck stumbled upon my blog and sent an email this morning pointing me in the direction of the latest instalment in his comic strip. This time he covers the issue of citizen journalism and photography.
This is quite relevant at the moment given news that Yahoo and Reuters plan to […]
After literally just returning from the U.S. at the weekend, Garo (a.k.a. Christian Garbis) at Notes from Hairenik has some bad news about his father. Despite initially recovering from open heart surgery, Khosroff suffered another heart attack in his sleep although he is thankfully in a stable condition albeit not responding to verbal communication.
It […]

RFE/RL reports that several opposition party leaders are once again holding negotiations on possible electoral alliances ahead of the May vote. Deja vu, and not least because we always get this before they all accuse each […]
For the next few days or possibly weeks I don’t think I’m going to have much time to compile a digest of some of the latest posts from the English-language Armenian Blogosphere. However, I would like to point you all in the direction of Armenia Blog which seems to be doing a good job of […]
After mentioning the circle.am web statistics service all week I noticed a new site had been registered by the Gavar Special School. As I mentioned in my last post, children in residential institutions are a long term project of mine, and so I was not only glad to find that this site had been set […]
Well, it’s good to see more specialist blogs appear in Armenia and the South Caucasus that not only exist to assist in research on certain issues, but to also disseminate the results of studies that already have been completed. In particular, the CRRC Blog includes details of a study examining how schoolchildren view the rule […]
Via Bekaisa, news of another Armenian blog, but this time on a specialist theme — the economy. Personally, I’d like to see more specialists blogging from all walks of life in Armenia more often so I’m glad to see what looks an interesting and unique blog like this emerge.
The Armenian Economist is a new blog […]
I first heard the music of Deti Picasso two years ago and liked what I heard. Too often, most contemporary Armenian music falls into one of three categories — traditional, rabiz, very mediocre pop, or a combination of all three. Add to that the unfortunate tendency for most rock bands here in Armenia to content […]
What is it about Armenians? Doesn’t matter if something is worth supporting or not? As long as there’s an Armenian connection it must be pushed even if it isn’t right. One case in point is Silva, a new pop star in Armenia who somehow made it into the selection of songs for the BBC World […]
