I happened to find a photo of the sign I originally mentioned in the comments here online, and thought I’d post a link. You can at least make out the lack of the word “Armenian” on the sign…

Radikal made fun of the ministry of tourism website, but its article also appears to be a serious one, as an attempt to include what the website so glaringly omits.

Bravo to Radikal.

Turkey is changing.

Those “bibliography sources” have just been taken from VirtualAni.org. That’s why they alone mention the word “Armenia”.

R, its really easy to say something is without logic, but harder to prove it.

Barbarous,

In your post of 28 Nov 2008 at 12:34 pm you stated that ‘Out of the three Caucasus countries Armenia is the poorest’.

This assertion is wrong and I was responding to it.

Your post at Nov. 29 at 12:27 p.m. above is incoherent.

R so from your prespective Kuwait, Qatar and Luxembourg which are richer on a per capita basis than the U.S. and China have more influence and dominance in the world stage. According to your logic Armenia is also richer than China, because Armenia is ranked 129 and China is ranked 132.

Per capita shows the wealth of the people in a country while GDP shows the country’s actual wealth.

Barbarous,

Perhaps you didnt understand that Georgia has at least 50% more people than Armenia (4.5 million vs 3 million) which means that on a per capita basis Armenia is wealthier.

ok Raffi, if a book with 383 pages is enough to learn Armenian history I’ll definately read it in two days.
