Notes from the Armenian Blogosphere

Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

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 […]

Notes from the Armenian Blogosphere

Saturday, December 23rd, 2006

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 […]

I Hate ArmenTel

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

It’s 3am in the morning and I’m not even half way through sending 40 high resolution images to a magazine in the United States. And it’s no wonder. I’m sitting at my computer in Yerevan where we have to make do with crappy dial up connections costing around $40-50 a month because of the damn […]

Mormons Blog on Armenia

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Lola Koundakjian of the Armenian Poetry Project and Life in Travel forwarded me a link to a new blog on Armenia this morning. Not so unexpected perhaps, but always interesting to take a look, this time the blog is from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — otherwise more commonly known as the […]

Well, even if the French bill criminalizing denial of the Armenian Genocide doesn’t make it into law its certainly stirred up activity in the Blogosphere although it has to be said that posts by foreigners are proving better written and more interesting than ethnic […]

Photoblogging in Armenia

Sunday, October 15th, 2006

Yesterday Nessuna drew my attention towards the existence of photoblog.am, an Armenian-based blog bringing photographers together to discuss photographic news, equipment, and almost anything else photo-related for that matter. Acceptable languages are English, Russian and Armenian. Some interesting news there if you have $35,000 to burn, need 160 megapixels, and have a van to move […]

Yevrobatsi.org

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Just received an email from a new Armenian site that looks quite interesting although it appears to be only available in French. Nevertheless it seems different from the normal types of Armenian sites that we’re used to and I especially like the inclusion of a photo reportage section.
Thanks a lot for your blog: very […]
